As the city filed it

This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 224 Timberbank Boulevard. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of two trees is that the trees are causing damage to hardscape areas, uplifting interlocking pavers, and shifting adjacent concrete surfaces, resulting in tripping hazards. The property owner is also concerned the roots could be damaging the foundation of the building.

The two honey locust trees (Gleditsia triacanthos) measure 72 cm and 60 cm in diameter respectively. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of these trees as they are both healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. The Community Council has delegated authority from the City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the City's decision to deny a tree permit.

Staff recommended

The Director of Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry recommend that: 1. Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 224 Timberbank Boulevard.
