We take Beau for a ride each Sunday morning while others are sleeping, giving us the entire road. We drive by this construction site, each week to check the progress on 33 homes to be built on 10 acres. See Prior Post Jordan Creek
The whole thing started in 2021 and there is still no sign of a home and they have now removed every single tree that was on the property. The plan stated replace 122 trees, leave 52.
There are NOW 174 trees gone to never return. You can see here, they have built the site up to 4 feet higher than the other older homes. If rain ever returns to us, the houses surround this development will be flooded from the run off.

| These trees are across the street from the planned homes and the ones they removed most of them were like these. I feel sad when I see these gorgeous grand old trees still standing. for now. |
It is sad that they took down those big and beautiful trees.
ReplyDeleteI always thought tree prevent run off. It doesn't look like they are getting much done beside cutting all the trees down. Take care, have a happy day!
Early mornings are the best times for driving about. I'm sorry to hear of trees being cut down. Homes are needed but trees are important for the environment too.
ReplyDeleteI would not be a happy camper if I lived next to that construction site. Building the site up by 4 feet was a stupid thing to do. So what ever happened to the project that it hasn't gotten any further than destroying what was there?
ReplyDeleteI love that big old tree...
ReplyDeleteI can see that planning is alive and well and strictly enforced in Florida. You have to understand though that the municipal inspectors have all been reassigned to check the libraries for banned books, so they are kept very busy.

ReplyDeleteA sad indictment of planning process and oversight... YAM xx
After reading this post, Sandra, about the removal of the trees and the soil being moved around yet no building progress having been made in so long, it is curious. I was wondering if perhaps financial or legal issues, perhaps both, caused a halt. It is sad that so many trees were removed, even with replacements it will take years for them to grow
ReplyDeleteI hate seeing trees cut down...it is distressing to me! Love that early morning drive. And you are right about sleeping good on those cold nights. We say that all the time!
ReplyDeleteNice tradition to take a Sunday Morning Ride. That is a gorgeous tree
ReplyDeleteWe also take weekly rides to check on MegaMansions being built on postage stamp size lots

I'm with everyone else..why are all the beautiful trees removed? Building up the land is strange too. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteOn my way to Lynne's this morning..hope all will go well. She hasn't seen me in almost 3 weeks. I'm sure she won't even know who I am. Too cold to be outside so it will be a long time inside.

What a shame the old trees were taken out...they are so very beautiful and provide cooling shade!!
ReplyDeleteThat really is sad. Someone needs to have the guts to hold that builder accountable.
ReplyDeleteThat is really sad about all of those trees. We need trees in our environment. Those were beautiful trees.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad when they take down big old trees...
ReplyDeleteWhat a travesty! Boy, I don't even live there and already I'm spitting nails mad. Guessing the builder/contractor went belly-up bankrupt ... and how many laborers still haven't been paid? Oh, vey!
ReplyDeleteIf anything happens, please keep us in the loop!
That makes me want to cry! I love trees.
ReplyDelete174 trees and more to go? That's terrible! It always upsets me when I hear things like this. That old saying never a truer word spoken, they can't see the wood for the trees! The overall damage they do is heartbreaking.
