One survived while the others were mistakenly mowed down. The survivor had reached 30 feet tall and no permit was issued. The story goes on as I found that the survivor needed to go and it is no longer existing. Again, no permit to remove. I realize that there are some limits relative to live oaks but where do the deed restrictions start and end.
If I decide to replace bark mulch with stones, do I need review? If I expand a garden into the yard, do I need a review? I know that ignorance of requirements is not an excuse, but if the requirements are not specific how are they enforced. ie One seedling into a tree in 13 years oK, but what about 5, 10, a yardful.
Does anyone have a copy of this deed compliance document that they could share? I cannot find mine. Thanks.

Give a call to Community Standards. They are nice people who are more than willing to help you. Remember, this is a place for discussion, and some information may not be accurate. Also, restrictions vary among the districts.
