From: Eric Ring <ering@fpgdocs.com> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 202110:44 PM May 20, 2021 To: Ashland City Planning Division We are requesting permission to remove a living pine on our newly acquired property for the following reasons. 1. It is a potential hazard to the house on the adjacent property which we also own 2. It has been improperly cared for in the past and is unsightly with many dead branches 3. There are two other better situated and healthier live pines already on the property 4. It is in a location that would potentially be useful for development of a covered parking structure. 5. It has dead branches concerning for possible disease 6. It is near an area that would be better suited to a different type of tree that we would like to plant 7. It is a potentially combustible tree close to a wood fence Kindly consider this request and allow us to remove this tree so that we can move forward with some intended improvement to our property.
