    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    If I have to, I will do it. It seems, however, I may not have to. I shifted through more Google Earth Image, and I am now pretty sure the trees were planted around 2007. Please take a look at these images.

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    The cost is a secondary issue. As I said in an earlier post, I have no problem replanting the trees if they were on the lot when the lot was sold the first time. I posted the first message to confirm my interpretation of the covenant was correct so that I can correct the fact with the HOA. The...

    The HOA understood this and told me that the size was up to my decision.

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    I have found the name of the original owner, but it seems she moved to NC. Based on the information that I got from the Internet (spokeo.com), I called her, but the two numbers I tried were not hers. If you know a better way of finding her contact information, please let me know. Here is the...

    Yes. The fallen tree has been removed, but the stump is still there. Two neighboring trees are still standing.

    :) I guess I need to find the age of the trees.

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    What a great idea! I downloaded Google Earth Pro and checked out my home. I am not sure if I can trust these images from Jan/1999. My house and my neighbor's were first sold in 1995, by when the development of most houses was done. But the satellite image from Jan/1999 shows no houses. The...

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    What happens if neither parties have evidence to back up their claims? I thought that the HOA needs to prove that the trees on the lot at the first sales before instructing me to plant the tree. Am I wrong here?

    Very good point! Thank you!

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    Is that good enough evidence? We are talking about 26 years ago. In this picture, three trees are along the fence nicely. Based on this, I assume it is unlikely that these trees are a natural formation. Then, someone possibly planted these trees. Who? If the developer of the subdivision...

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    BTW, who has the burden of proof? Do I have to prove that the trees were not on the lot when the first sale was made? Or does the HOA have to prove that the trees were on the lot when the first sale was made? Since the HOA is bringing the case, I guess they have the burden of proof as a...

    Interpretation of HOA covenant

    Thank you for your response. If there is a photo proving they were indeed the trees that existed before the first sale, I have no problem planting the replacement. The interpretation of the HOA is that ANY trees that are removed have to be replaced, which I argued is incorrect. If my...
