As the city filed it
This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 72 Wardell Street. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the construction of a laneway suite. The honey locust tree, Gleditsia triacanthos, in question measures 69.5 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.

City Council has directed the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to refuse, at the General Manager's discretion, a permit to injure or destroy a healthy tree protected under Municipal Code Chapter 813, received as part of an application to construct a laneway suite.
