Q. I have a view of the valley for a few months of the year when the
leaves of many trees behind my property are gone. The partial view is
still manageable the rest of the year except for a tree that is very,
very full and you can see nothing beyond or through it. I know I can't
ask for that tree to be topped. But what would happen if I asked for
some branches to be removed in the middle of the tree so that it
wouldn't be obvious to anyone? Before I go before a Board and ask such a
question, I would appreciate your views on doing this and what the
consequences might be down the line.
