The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the tree's declining health and concerns about tree failure. The Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens) measures 55 centimetres in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
