Planning commission grants six‑month extension for 67‑lot Bickley Hollow subdivision
Summary
A developer requested more time to proceed with a proposed 67‑lot subdivision citing presales and financing; the planning commission granted a six‑month extension after discussion and a recommendation for either six months or one year.
The planning commission granted a six‑month extension to the petitioner for Bickley Hollow, a proposed 67‑lot subdivision, after the developer described market improvement and committed further work on financing and excavation.
A representative for the project said the market had improved, that the team had presold roughly 45 homes across their portfolio (not specifically within the subdivision) and that the developer had paid about $156,000 to Baker Tilly as part of project preparations. The petitioner said the team expects to purchase the property outright and proceed with infrastructure when financing aligns with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) disbursements.
Commissioner Marco Rodriguez (economic development) recommended a one‑year extension to allow coordination with the city planning process and the common council schedule; other commissioners said six months was sufficient and reminded the petitioner he could return for another extension if needed. A motion to grant a six‑month extension was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
What’s next: The petitioner will return to the commission after six months to report progress; the commission recorded its support but did not set further conditions in the recorded motion.
