Ah, now I see. In addition to whatever issues you may have securing the permit, I'm sure that a tree that size will not be inexpensive to have removed. Still, consider all the cons of leaving the tree. It will attract all manner of destructive insects. Is your outbuilding stick-frame? If so, I'd be scared of having that much infestation so close to the building. Another con, as you may have already noticed, is that a tree in stress will desperately attempt to recover and to regenerate. In the short term, this has the opposite effect of what you intend - you will have MORE debris falling from the tree in the form of more leaves, more seeds, more buds, more sap, etc. On the plus side if you cut it down, think of all that nice maple you can split and burn :thumbsup:
