		July 9, 1998 To:Toronto Community Council From:Director of Development and Support - Toronto Parks & Recreation, City Hall Office Subject:300 Gainsborough Road, Toronto, Ward 26 (East Toronto) - Municipal Code, Chapter 331, Article III, Trees Purpose: An application for a permit to remove one tree on private property growing very close to a neighbouring garage and impeding the growth of all other vegetation in the yard has been filed by Mr. Peter Bradley, owner of 300 Gainsborough Road, Toronto, Ontario, M4L 3C6. This is the second application Mr. Bradley has filed with respect to this tree. Toronto City Council, at its meeting held on September 22 and 23, 1997, refused to issue a permit for the removal of the tree in question. Recommendations: Either 1 or 2 below. 1) Issue a permit for tree removal. 2) Refuse to issue a permit for tree removal. Comments: The tree in question is a thirty-five centimetre diameter Norway maple in fair condition. The main stem of the tree is abutting a garage located on a neighbouring property and as the tree matures it has the potential to cause damage to this structure. The Norway maple species is quite common in the City and this particular tree is in close proximity to the designated Williamson Park Ravine. This species is non-native and produces an abundant seed source that is invasive and detrimental to a natural ravine setting. The tree in question appears to have grown from seed due to its location on the property. 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 tree in question.
