And therein lies the dilemma: How to maintain as many of the trees as possible during rebuilding while complying with upgraded building codes and regulations. To fit a new home in between the trees, Van Kleeck says, it appears he will have to move one of his beloved live oaks. He is trying to find someone to move it to a new location.
