Hobart authority approves tree removal, permit refund and bond change; sets unsafe‑building matter over to April 15
Summary
The authority approved a homeowner tree removal at 7798 Tanager Street to be paid by the homeowners, approved refund of building permit 2657, conditionally released a developer's performance bond to a maintenance bond, and set an unsafe‑building matter at 300 West Old Bridge Road over to April 15.
At its meeting the Hobart City Redevelopment Authority approved several routine and property‑specific requests.
Tree removal: A resident asked to remove a locust tree growing in an easement at 7798 Tanager Street. The resident said an arborist approved removal and that the homeowners would pay for the removal and would likely plant a different tree as a replacement. The Chair moved to grant removal of the tree at 7798 Tanager Street at the homeowners’ expense; the motion carried with 'Aye' votes recorded and no opposition noted.
Permit refund: The authority voted to approve a refund for building permit number 2657 (entity in transcript referred to as 'Windham Nation'). The transcript records a motion and second and approval by 'Aye.' The transcript does not provide additional financial detail.
Bond change for Lumen's Logistics: Staff recommended releasing a developer’s performance bond and converting it to a maintenance bond for Lumen's Logistics once a maintenance bond is in place. The authority approved the conditional release; staff noted they had reviewed the site and recommended approval when the maintenance bond is provided.
Unsafe building update: Staff reported that the owner of the property at 300 West Old Bridge Road (referred to as Mr. Cox in the transcript) had submitted paperwork to the planning commission for a one‑lot subdivision and, upon approval, would remove the house. The authority voted to set the unsafe‑building matter over to the planning commission calendar and to revisit the item on April 15 to allow the subdivision process to proceed.
Votes at a glance: Minutes approval (March 4 and March 13) — approved; Claims acceptance — approved; Tree removal at 7798 Tanager Street — approved; Building permit refund #2657 — approved; Release of performance bond (Lumen's Logistics) to maintenance bond — approved conditional on maintenance bond; Unsafe building at 300 West Old Bridge Road — set over to April 15.
The meeting then adjourned.
