Members of the Amenity Authority Committee learned at their meeting on Wednesday that the new state law that permits home owner removal of trees without local government approval will have limited impact in The Villages. Because of deed restrictions, homeowners in The Villages must file a certified arborist report that supports a valid reason for tree's removal, said Carrie Duckett, the Districts director of resident services and communication. Residents in violation would be required to replace the tree. Other wise, residents must file and application for tree removal with the District's Architectural Review Committee.(Full report in Thursday August 8, 2019 Daily Sun Section C.Page C-4).
