On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 140 Courcelette Road. The applicant is seeking permission to remove the tree in order to address the nuisance smell, mess and safety issues related to dropping fruit. The subject tree is a gingko tree (Gingko biloba) measuring 64 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.

Staff recommended

The Acting Director of Urban Forestry recommends that: 1. Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located between properties 140 and 142 Courcelette Road.
