Neighbors in Petaluma are up in arms about a developer’s big mistake. 

Dozens of native trees were recently chopped down at the construction site of a new apartment community. 

Problem is cutting the trees down is a violation of the city-approved project plan. 

Neighbors say they feel like they lost a bit of their privacy. 

“I think it’s invasive to everyone, nobody has any privacy now,” said neighbor Joe Tracy.

“I don’t wanna see people get in trouble, but I hope they do something about that because if they do it here they’re going to do it somewhere else,” another neighbor said.

The city is planning to meet with affected neighbors next week and discuss all options to fix the problem moving forward.
