The approximately 670 Sissoo trees in the common areas of the posh Arcadia at Silverleaf neighborhood will remain standing.
After an approximately four year fight between homeowner Tom LaPorte and the DC Ranch Home Owners Association (which includes Arcadia at Silverleaf), both sides have come to an agreement through the mediation process.
Sissoo trees in the parks and the entry points to the gated community of multi-million homes will remain, according to a joint statement released Aug. 5 by attorneys for LaPorte and the HOA.
