As the city filed it

This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 18 Fallowfield Road and 16 Fallowfield Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to damage to the driveway, clogged pipes, potential damage to the foundation by tree roots, and concern that the tree is in decline.

The silver maple tree ( Acer saccharinum ) measures 76 centimetre 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 appeals the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.

Staff recommended
