Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s landscaping plans were reviewed by the town council
The celebrity couple had been looking to make changes to their property, which has been met with quite some opposition from the neighbors. According to Page Six, an Architectural Review Board meeting was held at the Bratenahl Community Center on Tuesday.The report revealed that one of the 35 attendees at the local community meeting made harrowing comments about how the couple is going to file for divorce in the next ten years. While this person was not named in the report, he actively opposed Swift and Kelce’s landscaping appeal and said, “To be perfectly honest, I think it’s all stupid. It’s all subjective.” He continued, “This effort that’s being put in for Taylor Swift, I think for a property that’s pretty much going to be a timeshare and sold in seven to 10 years when the divorce happens, I think it’s ridiculous.”Another resident, Chuck Bauernschmidt, who lives two doors away from the couple’s new home, shared that he had an issue with the plan to grow 10-foot shrubs outside of their residence for privacy issues. He added, “I live two houses away from the property in question, and I do have complaints. This is not going to be open. This is a forest, and I’m not sure why the board is going in that direction. You’re going against ordinances? Am I mistaken? I don’t think I am. I feel bad for the village.”Another attendee at the meeting, Lucy Weller, shared her concerns about how the ‘Opalite’ singer and the NFL star player’s landscaping plans may affect the local flora and fauna. She provided more details on the matter and shared, “Here is a wonderful opportunity for people who have money to put it into the caliber that this house should have,” further adding, “I don’t think this landscape does anything to provide for any of the wildlife.”

Vasiliki Diamantis commented, “We should feel privileged that these people chose this location for their residence, and instead we are arguing over landscape and privacy as opposed to coming together as a community and looking at it as, ‘Wow, they chose Bratenahl, because Bratenahl is a special place.‘” Many other people also shared his sentiments and commented on how important it is to make the married couple feel welcome in their space.
