When the trees are full she can not see my house at all. 

you may have some little nuances in a certain county.I did get a zip line approved on farm forest Timber zone on my 700 acre tree farm.. so I know some of this can happen. but its pretty tough.. do any major business that are not geared to ag or farm forest activities. 

I will be going down end of month for 3 days with my dad to tear up more of the yard and cut down trees as well as start on the finish work in the house.

Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that guy behind the tree. 

You might be able to get a HELOC @ 90% CLTV, I'd suggest barking up that tree.

On the other hand, the old saying, "the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the next best time is today" applies to most things in life.

If I plan to do something like cut down bushes or treat the trees I let them know in advance. 

As an investor, it is your job to try to read the tea leaves.

Below are the costs I am aware of:- Surveyor: topographic survey, tree survey, verification of true current property dimensions, subdivision plan, existing house building location certificate.- Arborist: tree report (and tree removal, if necessary). - City of Surrey: application fees, development cost charges (DCCs), Engineering fees?

Just don't do the tree streets (pine, maple, chestnut, Lafayette too.)
