He spoke to the guy after he looked around and was told he can plant anything he wants as long as the base of the plant is two feet from the line.
I thought it was a 5 foot rule???
Now these can get to be 12-15 foot tall it will almost be a wall.
after the rain some of the stems were hanging way over his line like 3-4'
Now his neighbor is going to apply for an ARC approval supposedly next week, I suggested that he write a letter in anticipation of the application with his concerns.
What do you think?
He already spoke to him and was told he can do what ever he wants, so reasoning will not work.

Suggest you call deed compliance.
2 feet from the property line is correct, but planting trees, shrubs etc close together is creating a wall, that is not allowed without ARC approval. Keep in mind all districts have different Deed restrictions. Go to the web, and check yours out. districtgov
