Now when asked to pay for their poor judgement and lack of due diligence they become indignant and, I guess, want the rest of us that live in CDD10 to pay for their "mistake"? Am I missing something?
What could possibly go wrong? A person you probably don’t know knocks on your door, unsolicited, tells you that The Villages approved the work, on THE OTHER SIDE of the fence that is NOT your property and then quotes YOU a price for the work. When do the alarm bells in your head go off?

The homeowners where the trees were cut down should OFFER to pay the restoration fees and hope they can avoid other fines or potential criminal liability. They should be RUNNING with their checkbooks to get in front of thIs. The first ones that the State of Florida should visit and fine are any of those who have the audacity to claim victimhood. They embody the term “entitled” and give the rest of Villagers a bad name in the nearby communities.
