I am well aware of the pros and cons of palm trees. And setbacks and why they are there. I am also aware of blanket POA rules that make no sense and are created by people who have more political experience than engineering.
In the back where it actually impacts utilities and drainage issues, they require significantly less room.

Is it for 4 ft sidewalk they MAY install and still 12 MORE feet for possible utilities that would ACTUALLY be installed under the road should the need arise to abandon the existing utilities in the back of our property?
They learned here 2 decades ago it is cheaper to do utilities under the road instead of demo and replacement of driveways.

If this issue of having palm trees.. or ANY landscaping within 15 ft of the road was actually IMPORTANT , they wouldn't be ONLY addressing the complaining neighbors.
