I did.
Approval was not a problem. I think I went to an office upstairs in Sumter Landing somewhere and got the paperwork, took it back in, and it was approved. I think I had to draw a little sketch of the location but I don’t remember for sure. I do not know if anybody from ARC ever came out and looked. It really was no big deal at all.
I got the impression that taking down queen palms was not something ARC would give you a hassle over. But I wanted to make sure.
I did let my neighbors know but that is just because I thought it was the polite thing to do, especially since we live so close to each other.
You will be giving up shade — a surprising amount — but for me it was worth it.
