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 on the boundary line between the properties of 65 Rowanwood Avenue and 67 Rowanwood Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns that falling branches may damage the roof; the trunk may cause damage to the property line fence; and the tree is growing in restricted soil volume which may limit the tree's growth and negatively impact its health.

The European beech tree (Fagus sylvatica fastigiata) measures 34 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.
