While going thru the processes of obtaining their permits,specifically their road permit, the county came out and did a survey of the trees on our property (which sat next to the property line.) Because these trees are "Native Trees", the neighbor had to move their road over to accommodate the "drip line" of the trees. With only one "Native Tree" in the path of their road, he was informed he would have to replant the tree, which he didn't, he said it was no bigger than a little baby twig. His fine was $5,000.
Now my delimna - I wanted to rip all of these trees out, they're ugly and what about our road that is right next to the trees, that someday we want to redo and pave, most are too big to replant - will the county not allow this? Uhggg - I suppose that means we can't do any real backyard work until this home next door it completed, and the second house he is going to build on the front of the property is completed, which isn't even sub-divided yet. This could be a long long wait. Who declared these ugly trees are pretty or better than the ones I want to put in, I actually thought they were messy shrubs, but now it's all recorded in the county records.
Do the trees increase the value of our property or decrease?

so do they care it you transplant the trees to another location...... like say the dump?
Hey though, that's pretty cool that they are at least starting. They have said they were going to forever but just never did.
I can't believe they really fined him $5,000. That is outrageous!!!
