I talked to a couple of neighbors, and one of the guys on the neighborhood committee, and they said go ahead as long as I didn't build anything on the "green belt". So, chain saw, stump grinder, and John Deere, followed by bermuda grass seed, and I now have 250 feet to my north cleared. Left some oaks and three cedars, well separated from the rest, and feel much safer than before. Also the view is much better! Only down side is the skunks lost their habitat! LOL!
Awesome! Hope the skunks went elsewhere! :)
