As the city filed it

This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 58 Tallon Road. The applicant cited several concerns as reasons for the tree removal request. These include concerns that the tree roots are causing hardscape damage, potential risk of the trees falling on utility wires, and potential damage to a perimeter fence that may impact the ability to comply with a bylaw related to swimming pool enclosures, as indicated by the applicant.

The two dawn redwood trees (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) measure 71 cm and 61 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of these trees as they are healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant wishes to appeal the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.

Staff recommended
