Community Council Recommendations
North York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the request for a permit to remove one (1) City-owned tree located at 4 Clovelly Avenue, conditional upon:
a. the owner providing payment of the appraised value of the tree to be removed ($1,884.00);
b. the owner removing the tree at their expense;
c. the owner providing five (5) replacement trees, which can be achieved in a combination of on-site planting and cash-in-lieu of planting; and

Origin
Summary
The report recommends that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) City-owned tree located adjacent to the property at 4 Clovelly Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree has a poor form, is unsightly and diseased, sheds branches, and leans.
The subject tree is a Colorado spruce (Picea pungens), measuring 37 cm in diameter. The Street Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
