Board approves downtown film shoot, vendor approvals and tables unsafe building enforcement
Summary
The authority approved several routine items by voice vote — contract renewals and downtown vendor approvals, a late downtown film shoot for March 22–25, and set an unsafe-building matter over to April 1 for compliance verification.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority approved routine business items during its meeting, including a contract renewal and a list of six downtown food and coffee vendors to be approved through Oct. 31. The board also approved a late film-shoot request for downtown March 22–25 and advised the production to coordinate closely with the police department and to use sidewalks where the route is a state road.
During the unsafe-building segment, staff reported that a property at 312 North Canton Street had a prior demolition order on its garage; the new owner has pulled permits but the project is under a stop-work order while the owner secures a licensed plumber. The board voted to set that unsafe-building order over to the April 1 meeting so staff can verify substantial compliance before any removal from the list.
Votes and procedural notes: motions on these routine agenda items were carried by voice vote in the record. The board's approvals were procedural and did not include substantive land-use changes beyond contract and permit coordination.
Quotes:
"Keep the police department apprised to what you're doing so you don't run into a problem," a committee member said to the film production representative as the board approved the permit.
Next steps: city departments (economic development, police, and building) were assigned follow-ups for documenting vendor approvals, coordinating the film shoot, and verifying building-permit compliance ahead of the April 1 meeting.
