On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report requests that City Council deny a request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 522 Woburn Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree has a thinning canopy, an elevated root plate, and is growing too close to the fence. The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens), measuring 32 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of the tree as it is healthy and maintainable.

Staff recommended

The General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation recommends that: 1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately-owned tree located at 522 Woburn Avenue.
