A Pacific Grove couple, fearful of a stand of tall trees looming over their home, have found that getting permission to remove the threat is not easy.
PACIFIC GROVE -- When Christie Monson and Tim Calvert bought their dream home in Pacific Grove, trees were a big part of why they loved the community. That is, except for four large Monterey Cypresses that tower over their house."They're almost at the top of the hazard scale," Calvert said.
The couple says the simple solution is to chop the trees down but they are finding out how hard that is to do legally in a city that's named after these very trees. "When we came here in 2018, we had them inspected by professional arborists and they were declared unsafe and needed to come down," Monson said.
Monson and Calvert say they will appeal the city's decision and take it to the city council if they must.For now, they say they can't enjoy their home in safety and have stopped inviting visitors.
