I'm in violation of a city code that requires all trees overhanging public sidewalks to be trimmed back to a clearance of 7 feet. Because I'm not an anal retentive psychopath, I was unaware of this bit of legislation.
I didn't plant this tree (previous owner did). Frankly it's too close, but trimming it back 7 feet is going to murder the tree.
The thing that pisses me off the most is them going directly to the city. I realize most people are cowards and won't knock on my door to have a polite chat with a neighbor of 10+ years, but even an anonymous note could have corrected the situation without involving the Man.
Anyway I don't really have any questions, mostly just ranting off some steam. Probably going to passive/aggressively carve an exactly 3'x7' passage through the side of the tree canopy.
