I can tell you what my former neighbor did. The person who had bought the house originally had a queen palm installed on either side of the house. By the time he moved, the palms were high enough that we and the people on the other side of that house were constantly having to get up on ladders to trim those fronds away from scraping crystals off of our roof shingles. We contacted the neighbor, a snowbird, and she had someone come trim the trees, but they still remained a problem. One winter she had them both taken out, because they never should have been put in those spots to begin with--too close to our houses and hers as well.


IMO The Villages should acknowledge that this tree is in the wrong spot, and take it out. Even if they didn't actually plant it themselves, they shouldn't have put a wall, yard, and house too close to it.
