I have searched for the state protected species rules. Can't find the agency, the one that had lowered the boom on the folks who cut down the big Live Oak trees in the reserve behind their home in Bridgeport at Lake Miona.
I think it goes further than just our Architectural Board. It has something to do with the St. John's River Authority or some bunch that has teeth about this.
I think the Live Oaks are lovely in other people's property and if you have one in yours and it is less than four inches in diameter, then you CAN without any kind of penalty remove it, but I can't find the authority that says that.
