<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Great call Oliver!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">It seems that sometimes the requirements set upon the consultants and arborists are not consistent throughout the City and obviously with other municipalities; and may lead to more legal dilemmas,
especially coming to reasonable preservation and compensation. This one points to Norway maple, and some arborist and stakeholders view of the species. It is a tree and has no place near a natural ravine, but despite that, it is a heck of a good city tree
(in the right place of course) and the varieties are also vast and great.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I am glad of the ruling, I have defending a long list of clients where construction is impacting their trees (completely on their property) and without a reasonable or proper plan, and their projects
are pushed through. Then a simple little tree issue with perhaps some minimal injury, and the list of demands put forth are just out of this world. (some lists are good but some are not)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I agree, Toronto needs to tighten up with a few definitions and

<p class="MsoNormal">Toronto needs to tighten up its definition of "arborist" in the private tree by-law. Most municipalities require specific credentials and don't accept reports from just any "person with other similar qualifications". It seems to me that
Hartley should never have gotten her removal permit in the first place, regardless of the whole property line issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
