Requirements of the Development Planning Department
for Woodlot/Tree Preservative and Removal
I
t is the City’s objective to protect and preserve trees and/or woodlots as per OPA 400. It is
further recognized that not all trees, and/or woodlots, can be or are designated to be
preserved. In order to confirm tree preservation measures and tree removal requirements, the
following information is required by the Development Planning Department:
T
he Region of York Tree By-law is in effect until there is a signed subdivision agreement
between the City and the owner, and therefore no trees and vegetation are to be
r
emoved without the approval of the Development Planning Departments. Any
one
e
ngaging in tree removal activities contrary to the York Regional Tree By-law may
be
c
harged under the provisions of the by-law. Owners are encouraged to consult the
Development Planning Department prior to commencing with any tree removal activities
on site.
If the owner is applying for a fill permit as outlined in this document, tree protection
f
encing, to the satisfaction of Development Planning Department, is required. This
protective fencing shall be located outside the dripline of the undisturbed edges,
including any buffer as may be required and must be inspected and certified by t
he
owner’s Forestry/Arborist/Landscape Architectural Consultant. The owner shall submit a
drawing showing the location of tree preservation measures which has been prepar
ed
and s
ealed by the owner’s consultant.
T
he owner may proceed with tree preservation measures and tree removal i
n
as
sociation with this fill permit, in advance of a signed subdivision agreement with the
City, subject to the following conditions;
a) T
he City has approved the Block Plan and the Environmental Management Plan;
b) T
he owner has received Draft Plan approval;
c
) The owner has submitted three copies of a “Tree Preservation and Removal Plan”
consisting of an air photograph of the approved draft plan superimposed with the road
pat
terns and various blocks with supporting documentation, as required, which:
i.
Specifically describes and identifies the vegetation communities which have potential for
preservation, and which warrant further detailed inventory, evaluation and preservation
plans at the subdivision agreement stage, and which includes detailed engineering design
for, but not limited to, grading and servicing. This shall be consistent with the approved
Environmental Management Plan;
ii. Specifically describes dead and/or hazardous vegetation which may pose public safety or
liability concerns;
Updated: February 10, 2020
Pg 8
iii. Describes the extent of tree preservation measures to be installed, including temporary or
permanent buffers. Describes the type of preservation fencing to be installed to the
satisfaction of the Development Planning Department;
iv. Identifies and provides justification for those vegetation communities which are proposed to
be removed prior to the execution of a subdivision agreement; and,
v. Carries the seal of a qualified Forester of Landscape Architect
.
W
here an approved draft plan includes a woodlot designed for preservati
on
as
outlined in OPA 400, no part of the designed woodlot shall be remov
ed
and t
ree preservation fencing is required, to the satisfaction of the
Development Planning Department. This protective fencing shall be locate
d
out
side the dripline of the undisturbed edges, including any temporary or
permanent buffers which may be required and must be inspected and
c
ertified by the owner’s Forestry/Arborist, Landscape Consultant.
Notwithstanding item “d” above, where a portion of a woodlot, designated for
preservation, has been identified for removal as part of approved draft plan,
approval for any tree/vegetable removals, in this situation, will be contingent
on detailed vegetation assessment, preservation and remedial planting plans
which are required at the subdivision agreement stage and subject to
detailed engineering design, including but not limited to, gradi
ng and
s
ervicing.
N
o vegetation will be permitted to be removed within 10 meters of any top of
bank approval for any tree/preservation removals, in this situation, will
be
c
ontingent on detailed vegetation assessment preservation and remedial
planting plans which would be required at the subdivision agreement stage
and subject to detailed engineering design, including but not limited to,
grading and servicing.
Generally, the more detailed information that is provided, including engineering design,
grading and servicing, the better will be the staff’s position in determining the extent of
tree preservation and removal.
T
he Development Planning Department will coordinate with and notify the Regional
Forestry Coordinator of any tree preservation and tree removal approvals.
T
he stockpiling of topsoil on any park block is not permitted without the prior
written approval from the Development Planning Department. However, w
hen
s
tockpiling is permitted within a designated park block, a security in the form
of a Letter of Credit in the amount of $50,000 is required which the City can
dr
aw upon to recover the cost to the City of performing any works, which t
he
ow
ner has failed to perform.
