Hey fellas. I am sittin in my room right now listening to my new neighbor across the street. He apparently rented a chipper and is cleaning up a big mess that he created. His property is MAYBE 1/2 an acre. More accurate would be 1/3 of an acre or between there. I went by a few weeks ago and cut maybe 13 trees for him or somewhere around there. Most of them were in the center of the back lawn, one in the front lawn, etc. Well now he is going and removing another at least 20 - 30 trees from the property. He removed EVERYTHING along the back which gives his neighbors to his rear privacy. He removed just about everything to his right which now takes privacy away from the people to the left and right. Now you can look in through their windows and what not. He also is doing some SEVERE pruning to the trees in front of the house (2 remaining). I know that he removed at least 50% of the trees from the property. 75% may be more realistic. Out in Bedford if he had done this, he would be getting sued right now by the town for a nice chunk of change (THOUSANDS). FYI he removed a Cornus florida.
I went today to the town hall and they informed me that he was perfectly within his rights. They didn't care so long as he was not cutting on wet lands and that he was not affecting more than 5,000 sq ft of land. When I asked them how they measure those 5,000 sq ft they replied that it is measured from trunk to trunk.
I will be going to the board meeting next tuesday to talk about instituting a tree ordinance.
