Community Council Recommendations

1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 55 Dixon Avenue.

Origin

(August 13, 2021) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 55 Dixon Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree is in conflict with a proposed new pool, it is a hazard to their children and dog, and causing property damage.

 

The subject tree is a black walnut tree (Juglans nigra), measuring 48 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
