Tree Removal Permit Appeal at 151 North Orlando Avenue

Summary

A condo association wanted a healthy laurel oak removed over fears about roots hitting pipes and sidewalks, but board members found the photos of damage weren't from this tree and no survey proved pipe threats. The denial was upheld 5-0, partly to avoid a domino effect on other trees.
