Hi treelaw friends. I just bought a home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and there is a big developer about to put up a new big apartment building right next to my house. They say the power utility is requiring the tree on our shared property line to be removed. The developer said: State law allows us to remove the section of tree on our property, but that will leave the tree unstable and would most certainly die if half of the trunk is removed. Our intent is to remove the entire tree." Obviously I'll make them cover all the removal costs, but can I ask for damages or money because I don't want to lose the tree? Its a beautiful tree that adds a decent amount of curb appeal, even though it is quite close to the house (though not causing any foundation damage, we checked). What and how should I make my ask?
