		April 9, 1998 To:Toronto Community Council From:Director of Development and Support - Toronto Parks & Recreation, City Hall Office Subject:19 Ridgewood Road, Toronto, Ward 23 (Midtown) - Municipal Code, Chapter 331, Article III, Trees Purpose: An application for a permit to remove two trees on private property to allow for new landscaping has been filed by Mike Spencley, Central Tree Service, RR#1, Fenelon Falls, Ontario, K0M 1N0, agent for the owner of 19 Ridgewood Road. Recommendations: Either 1 or 2 below. 1) Refuse to issue a permit to remove the trees. 2) Issue a permit for tree removal conditional on the applicant agreeing to plant replacement trees on the property to the satisfaction of the Director of Development and Support. Comments: The trees in question are thirty-nine and forty-one centimetre diameter blue spruce in fair condition. The arborist report prepared by Central Tree Service, that accompanies this application states that both spruce trees have Cytospora canker. This disease is common in blue spruce trees and the two specimens in question exhibit only minor symptoms at this point. The westerly of the two trees shows some dieback at the top of the tree but in the opinion of Urban Forestry staff, the two spruce trees are structurally sound and viable specimens. Any proposed new landscaping for the property should consider incorporating the spruce trees. A notice of application sign was posted on the property for the required 14 day posting period, in order to notify the neighbourhood and provide an opportunity for objection to the application. No written objections were received in response to the application to remove the trees in question.
