Andrew,  Attached is a photo of a section of the trunk of the tree removed at 206 S. Saluda. As you can see, the tree was not healthy.  This problem would have been worsened with the loss of rain water resulting from any construction in the backyard.  It was a majestic tree, but it would have needed removal regardless in the near future.  If we had waited until then, the cost would have been astronomical because construction on the lot would have made it impossible to get machines to the tree area.  Pat  F. Patrick Hubbard Motley Distinguished Professor of Law School of Law University of South Carolina 803‐777‐6712 For selected publications: http://ssrn.com/author=624151    ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: Judy Hubbard [mailto:judykhubbard@gmail.com]  Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2016 6:23 PM To: HUBBARD, PATRICK Subject: Tree 206 S. Saluda

Dear Mr. Livengood,

I am writing to you in regarding the application for the variance with the Board of Zoning Appeals for the

house at 206 S. Saluda Avenue.

Patrick and Judy Hubbard attended our April neighborhood council meeting yesterday where they

described the matter in detail. The Hubbards appreciate the architectural character of the

neighborhood and are planning that their renovations and additions will match this style. Also, their

architectural plans include only a minimal 5% over the usual allowance.

After hearing what the Hubbards had to say, the council voted unanimously on the issue and we have no

opposition to the variance application.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

Sincerely,

Alisa Wolfram

President

Hollywood – Rose Hill Neighborhood Association
