This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 19 Lytton Boulevard. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting the removal of the tree is due to the poor location and concern that the roots are causing damage to both the applicant's driveway and foundation, and the neighbour's driveway and foundation at 17 Lytton Boulevard.
