Redevelopment authority approves tree removal, permit refund and bond change; unsafe-building case set over
Summary
The authority approved a homeowner-funded removal of a locust tree at 7798 Tanager Street, authorized a refund for building permit 2657, agreed to release a developer’s performance bond pending a maintenance bond, and set an unsafe-building matter for 300 West Old Bridge Road over to April 15.
At its meeting the Hobart City Redevelopment Authority approved several routine items grouped under new business and administrative matters.
Tree removal: A resident (speaker 3) requested permission for property owners to remove a locust tree in an easement at 7798 Tanager Street, saying the owners had consulted an arborist and would remove the tree at their expense and likely replant. The chair moved to grant the tree removal; members approved by voice vote.
Permit refund: The authority approved a refund request for building permit number 2657 related to 'Windham Nation.' The transcript records a motion and a voice approval; no refund amount was specified in the record.
Performance bond: The board considered a request from Lumen's Logistics to reduce a performance bond to a maintenance bond. Staff review (Alex absent) recommended the change once a maintenance bond is in place. The chair moved to release the performance bond upon provision of the maintenance bond; the motion passed by voice vote.
Unsafe-building update: Staff (speaker 4) reported that Mr. Cox had submitted paperwork to schedule a planning commission hearing for a one-lot subdivision; if approved, demolition of the unsafe structure at 300 West Old Bridge Road would proceed. The authority set the unsafe-building item over to April 15 for follow-up.
Procedural note: Across these items approvals were recorded as voice votes in the transcript; the record lacks roll-call tallies and specific dollar amounts for the permit refund or bond values. The clerk will reflect approvals and any required follow-up in the official written record.
