I went to investigate and there was a guy cutting down a Cedar tree located on common property in the front bed of a house.\u00a0 This tree had been there for 25 years or more and was about 15 feet tall or more.<\/p>\n<p>I asked why he cut down this tree and his reply was that the &#8220;real estate agent told him to&#8221; do so.\u00a0 He was just following those instructions. He also mentioned the neighbor also said it was OK; apparently this neighbor did not know that in the front, your property stops at the foundation. Anything beyond the foundation, the flower beds, sidewalk, etc, it Common Property of the HOA. The same is true of the grass area between the rear fences and the street.<\/p>\n<p>Any changes, additions or removals require Board permission; always has. The tree he just cut down was HOA property. Had the &#8220;real estate agent&#8221; called the Office, or bothered to look at the CC&amp;R, it would have explained this. We will be sending an invoice for the unauthorized removal of this tree.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1731\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1731\" style=\"width: 515px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1731\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1731\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/gpmcha.org\/?attachment_id=1731\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg?fit=515%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"515,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"674 Tree\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg?fit=515%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1731 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg?resize=515%2C380\" alt=\"674 Tree\" width=\"515\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg?w=515&amp;ssl=1 515w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gpmcha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/674-Tree.jpg?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cedar tree that was cut down without authorization.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was on my way back to the house around 4:40PM today, I saw a pickup truck parked on the grass and loaded with conifer branches.
