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 16 Catalina Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the year-round shade that affects the efficiency of their solar panels, as well as shading the edible garden and fruit trees surrounding the subject tree. The Colorado blue spruce tree, Picea pungens, in question measures 38 cm in diameter.
