November 23, 1998

To:Toronto Community Council

From:Commissioner, Economic Development, Culture & Tourism

Subject:52 Teddington Park 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 that has caused concern due to falling fruit and the proximity of the tree to the house has been filed by Mrs. Karen McCormick, 52 Teddington Park Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M4N 2C6, owner of 52 Teddington Park Avenue.

Financial Implications:

N/A

Recommendations:

Either 1, or 2 below

  1. refuse to issue a permit to remove the tree;
  2. 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 horsechestnut in fair condition. The tree is located approximately four metres north of the northeast corner of the house and the crown overhangs a rear deck. The report prepared by Bostock Tree Service that accompanies the application states that the tree is viable but that it sheds heavily onto the patio. The report also states that there is a frost crack in the main stem of the tree. Frost cracks are common in this species of tree and in this particular specimen the crack is not a cause for concern with respect to the structural stability of the tree at this time.

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.
