If EVERYONE on the street has a palm in the same location including the house RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM you then perhaps Community Standards can help. If those palms were approved then Community Standards should have the letters of approval on file. You might be able to use those approvals as an argument for why your palm should be approved as well.

Possible issues:
- If the palms were original then who knows if any approval was required
- The neighbors might not have asked for approval. In that case you will need to decide if you want to become that jerk and file complaints about them
- The posts in other threads make it seem like the ARC is not often willing to give retroactive approvals. You'll have to decide if it's worth the time to do the research and possibly be turned down anyway.
