The developer didn't plant the trees and I don't believe that he is allowed to take them down. This whole issue was discussed at great length when several large Oaks were removed by a Villager living in Bridgeport on Lake Miona. The oaks were on District Land behind the home of a villager. The reason for their removal appeared to be to improve their view of Lake Miona and to sell their home. The St. John River Authority leveled a fine on the District for this and the District didn't do it. The Villager anonymously paid something of the fine. It is still not clear to me, who did what and why. There is some rule to not allow people to cut down large Oak Trees. That is the reason I used the word "protected".
P.S. I found this about Lake County;
