Tree removal and mitigation — 15221 Laurel Lane
Summary
A Grand Palms homeowner said oak and palm trees were cracking her driveway, damaging her roof and dropping limbs on cars. The board let her remove the front trees without front-yard replacements, provided she mitigates per city code through the tree removal permit — a notable easing of the stricter Grand Palms PUD landscaping rules.
