Not only do I, at least removing some exemptions allowed since when I was on council and we reduced the FAR from .45 to .35.
Should residents require permits to cut down trees on private property?
Criteria, as with riparian regulations. Have recommended a watershed assessment to prevent erosion and flooding. Views are through the trees or framed by the trees.

Need more information on application.

Trying. We all can do better of course. Needs more public consultation as to where, what, kind, etc. Neighbourhoods are precious to the residents.

Neighbourhood areas with residents’ guidelines, openness rules, updating OCP (including rental, seniors’ units), parking/traffic; Ambleside plan, budget process, citizen participation.
