city of all future liability.

in areas of sensitive marine clay where the revised 4-Phase assessment process
determines that city owned trees may be a contributing factor to foundation
damage the trees will be retained in recognition of the significance of the
City’s urban forest and its contribution to the quality of life in the City of
Ottawa and the City will implement arboriculture mitigation measures as
outlined in this report.
