Impact analysis
The HOA faces ongoing repaving, sidewalk grinding, plumbing repairs, and needle cleanup costs, and says it has budgeted for these seven removals and nine replacements.
Homeowners get relief from hardscape damage and safety hazards while the neighborhood keeps its street-front canopy and shade.
The appellant loses afternoon shade and owl habitat value from the three approved interior removals, and the four spared trees keep the HOA paying for hardscape repairs.
