46 Hunting Ridge – Private Tree Removal |
Origin |
(November 23, 2009) Report from Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation |
Recommendations |
The General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation recommends that:
1. Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree at 46 Hunting Ridge. |
Summary |
The report requests City Council’s authority to deny the request to remove a privately-owned tree, located in the rear yard of 46 Hunting Ridge. The property owner is concerned that this tree may fall and cause damage to persons or property.
An inspection of the tree by staff revealed that the tree is in fair to good condition. The owner is of the opinion that this tree’s lean toward the house poses a hazard to people and property. With proper care and maintenance, the tree should continue to provide benefits to the community for years to come. Urban Forestry cannot support the removal of an existing healthy tree when maintenance options exist that would allow it to be retained in a healthy state. |
