Mrs. Gasch has failed to submit a survey to support - her argument that the sight line is such that Mrs. Parton's house; the house next door of which she is complaining, blocks in any way her view of Lake Minnetonka. 2. Mrs. Gasch has argued that there has been a devalua- tion of her house because of the location of the Parton house but she has failed to submit any facts to �support the alleged devaluation. 3. Mrs. Gasch admitted that she would need to plant the shrubs, for which she is asking payment, along the shared property line with Mrs. Parton anyway because of her prior intent to remove the trees on the boundary. �
