My friend says the trees in that situation were definitely exceptional but that the survey maps don’t track tree size or age, just locations and types. So the neighbors had no evidence of the trees being exceptional, except their testimony. The city basically chose not to investigate the practice of cutting trees at an odd hour or the immediately shredding of the trees to destroy the evidence. The issue the neighbors wanted enforced was that it was an environmentally protected area due to the property being on a slope and with a stream next to the slope. That’s what the city had the complete ability to give the builders big fines for, but they chose not to.
