Subject:172 Fairlawn Ave., Toronto, Ward 22 (North Toronto) - Municipal Code, Chapter
331, Article III, Trees
Purpose:
An application for a permit to remove one tree on private property due to concerns with
falling fruit, and branches interfering with the roof has been filed by Ms. Carol Ann Hall, 172
Fairlawn Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5M 1S8, owner of 172 Fairlawn Avenue.
Financial Implications:
N/A
Recommendations:
Either 1, or 2 below
- refuse to issue a permit for tree removal;
- issue a permit for tree removal conditional on the applicant agreeing to plant a replacement
tree to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture &
Tourism.
Comments:
The tree in question is a fifty centimetre diameter black walnut in fair condition. The black
walnut tree is located approximately four metres from the rear foundation of the house and the
crown of the tree overhangs the rear yards, roof and deck of 170 and 172 Fairlawn Avenue.
The black walnut tree is a healthy and viable specimen and could be pruned to remove limbs
that are interfering with the roofs of the houses.
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.
