Travis Kelce's neighbors are a major problem: The three points of contention regarding his $5.35 million Ohio mansion

Travis Kelce 's $5.35 million Ohio home has become the focus of a dispute that reaches beyond the boundaries of his estate as neighbors have challenged proposed landscaping work, forcing the Kansas City Chiefs star's plans before the village's architectural review board. The objections concern three things: the removal and replacement of trees, the risk of disturbing a century-old shared sewer line, and whether the new planting would exceed local height restrictions at Bratenahl .

The board has postponed a decision whilst plans are revised and the disagreement is an unwelcome complication for the tight end, whose purchase brought him back close to Cleveland Heights , where he grew up as he prepares for life after retirement from the NFL . His attempt to settle near his hometown now faces a review process shaped partly by concerns from surrounding homeowners and one point of friction is the proposal to remove trees at the rear of the property as locals are concerned that work could affect their views towards Lake Erie . Making the landscaping plan a concern beyond Kelce 's own grounds, neighbors have also questioned what the work could mean for the shared sewer line as the concern is that construction or landscaping could damage the infrastructure, adding a practical issue to the debate. The final objection is the height of the replacement trees as local regulations set a maximum of 10 feet, and the original proposal did not meet that requirement whilst Kelce and Taylor Swift argue it is necessary to maintain their privacy and security from unwanted visitors. The board has requested an amended plan before considering approval and the project remains unresolved, with officials expected to revisit the application at their November 10 meeting. Kelce will have an opportunity to submit changes addressing the objections raised by nearby residents and bringing the plans into line with village regulations.

Kelce prepares for the Chiefs' matchup against Denver

Away from the property dispute, Kelce has been cleared to play against the Denver Broncos after participating fully in Friday's practice in a massive boost for the Chiefs at the Empower Field at Mile High in Colorado . The Kansas City catcher was not included on the injury report, easing concerns about his availability for the divisional matchup as the 5-1 Chiefs can essentially wrap up the division with a victory over the 5-2 Broncos , which could prove vital when it comes to resting for the NFL Playoffs . Kelce had sustained an ankle injury against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6 and was limited during Thursday's session after practicing fully on Wednesday but his return to unrestricted participation on Friday provided a positive update ahead of the game. Despite the defeat to the Seattle Seahawks , Kelce 's four receptions for 44 yards took his career receiving total, including playoff games, to 15,432 yards, the highest figure recorded by a tight end. His 1104 career receptions also place him fifth on the all-time list.
