garden dispute

I'm in need of some advice.

One of our gardens recently installed a new fence after housing construction
next door did in the old one.  During the installment of the fence, one of a
gardener's fruit trees trees got cut down.  Apparently this was a rare
French pear tree - Passe Corassane.  It was 10 years old, and he is requesting
to be compensated $500.  The garden has no money in their kitty because of the
new fence.

Is the garden responsible for replacing the tree, or for making compensation
for something planted in an individual plot?
 
How should we handle this situation? In 25 years of community garden, it's
always been somebody ELSE who was the bad guy!
