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 19 Felicity Drive. The tree is protected under the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection bylaw. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the tree's lean, its proximity to the existing dwelling, and concerns regarding the potential for falling branches and tree failure.

The Austrian pine tree (Pinus nigra) measures 63 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is 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.
