w w w .in s id e H A L T O N .c o m | OAKVILLE BEAVER | T h u rs d a y , F e b ru a ry 1 6 , 2 0 1 7 | 22 New information and precautions won't slow the updating of bylaw continued from p. 8 Although the Town has a "good handle" on tree protection where site-plan control is applicable to a property, there are a larger number of lands that evade its notification form because they appear to be rebuilding a home in a "as-of-right" stance, Burton said, citing another issue mentioned in the report. "It isn' t always accurate, in the opinion of the residents' associations, and frankly, my own opinion, such projects are purely as-ofright," said Burton. "There is a section of our OP (Official Plan), Neighbourhood Protection, that isn' t immediately and visibly reflected in our zoning." Council requested staff "bring back solutions" to the two issues, Burton said, to identify ways to change procedures on removal of dead, terminally-diseased or imminently-hazardous trees, as a way to address the potential conflict problem in the current and proposed private tree protection bylaw. A report will also need to outline how to enhance the preservation and protection of trees during construction-related activities. New strategies might include concepts such as a minimum tree density (number of trees) on a site, the requirement to preserve/relocate healthy trees when designing garages and accessory buildings, the requirement to save existing trees when additional parking space is requested as part of building design and the requirement for a detailed arborist report with recommendations for tree protection and preservation measures for all trees that are to be retained on a development site, among others. Ward 2 Town and Regional Councillor Cathy Duddecks also called for a public notice process on a site where a tree is to be removed. "Quite often, residents have to call in to find out and initiate a check. Something as simple as some of sort of a posting would indicate there has been contact and it has been approved and they don' t have to initiate the inquiry," said Duddeck. While Ward 4 Town and Regional Councillor Allan Elgar concerns were reassured the new information wouldn' t slow the new bylaw. With data taken from the 2015 I-Tree project, a staff report presented to the Community Services Committee on Sept. 28 estimated the implementation of the private tree protection bylaw in 2008 has resulted in more than one per cent of the Town' s tree canopy being removed under the notification provisions of the regulation. To ensure tree protection measures continue to meet community expectations and Oakville moves toward its 40 per cent canopy vision, further strengthening of the new private tree protection bylaw is needed, stated the report.
