Planning authority grants six‑month extension for Bickley Hollow subdivision
Summary
A developer asked for more time to proceed with a proposed 67‑lot Bickley Hollow subdivision, citing presales and financing steps; the authority granted a six‑month extension after a recommendation to consider a year-long extension.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority granted a six‑month extension to the petitioner for Bickley Hollow (petition 23‑12), a proposed 67‑lot subdivision, after hearing a brief update from the petitioner.
The petitioner reported that market conditions have improved, that several homes are presold, and that the team has paid roughly $156,000 to Baker Tilly for predevelopment work. The petitioner said they will purchase the property outright rather than pursue the earlier deed arrangement and that excavation and site work are scheduled in the coming months.
Commissioner Marco Rodriguez (Economic Development) recommended the board consider a one‑year extension to align the project with planning and Common Council schedules, but after discussion the authority moved and approved a six‑month extension; board members said the developer may return for further extension if needed.
The extension is procedural and preserves the developer’s current entitlement timeline while the petitioner completes site preparation and coordinates with city staff on next steps.
