Hobart Redevelopment Authority grants six‑month extension for Bickley Hollow subdivision
Summary
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority granted a six‑month extension for petition 23‑12, a proposed 67‑lot subdivision known as Bickley Hollow, after the developer updated the board on financing, presales and site readiness.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority voted to grant a six‑month extension to petitioner of petition 23‑12, a proposed 67‑lot subdivision known in the file as Bickley Hollow.
The petitioner (identified in the transcript as the presenter) told the board that market conditions have improved, that the developer had committed roughly "$156,000" to Baker Tilly and that the next steps include buying the property outright and starting infrastructure work. "We gave the city a $156,000 or something," the presenter said while describing the project's financing commitments.
Commissioner Marco Rodriguez, representing the economic development office, recommended a yearlong extension to allow planning and common council schedules to align, saying he "might be for you to consider a year extension." Board members instead favored a shorter revisit: a motion from a member (transcript label S6) to grant a six‑month extension was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The extension means the developer will return to the authority within six months with an updated schedule and progress report; no binding site‑plan or construction approvals were issued at the meeting. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; the action was taken by voice vote.
