Man is fined for illegal tree-trim

Dana Point, Calif. resident Arthur Warren will pay $175,000) to settle a lawsuit alleging that Warren hired a crew to chop the tops off seven city-owned pine trees to improve his ocean view. The landscape contractor involved was not at fault in the incident. The settlement was approved by the Dana Point City Council in early May. Warren, 75, also wrote a letter of apology. The agreement was reached through mediation that began in January, said Madison Spach, Warren's attorney. The city filed a Lawsuit in July against Warren. It alleged illegal landscaping destroyed the trees, which an arborist estimated were worth about $50,000 each. Warren had asked the city to top the trees, according to the suit. But the city told him that doing so was against proper trimming procedures and could damage the trees. Of the settlement, $110,000 will be used to replace the damaged pines.
