As the city filed it

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 2 Hawksdale Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to a conflict with a proposal to construct a driveway; as well as an allergic reaction suffered by the owner that was suspected to be caused by the tree. The Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens) measures 47 centimetres in diameter.
