Community Council Recommendations

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

 

1.  City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately owned tree located at 34 Cartier Crescent.

Origin

(February 26, 2018) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report recommends that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately owned tree located at 34 Cartier Crescent. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree is too big for the space and interfering with house, driveway, sidewalk, hedges and utility wires.

 

The subject tree is a blue spruce (Picea pungens), measuring 41 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
