Redevelopment authority affirms fill permit on appeal; approves tree removal and bond change
Summary
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority affirmed a planning commission decision granting a fill permit (petition 2601), approved a residential tree removal at 7798 Tanager Street and authorized a performance-bond reduction for Lumen's Logistics, with multiple routine permit items approved by voice vote.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority affirmed the planning commission’s decision to grant a fill permit under petition number 2601 and approved a series of routine land-use and permit items at its meeting.
Chair (speaker 1) opened the meeting by approving minutes and moving through routine business before addressing several appeals tied to the planning commission’s earlier action. After listing the parties who filed appeals, the Chair moved to consider all appeals together and to affirm the planning commission’s findings and its grant of the fill permit under petition 2601, citing the written record and references to municipal rules on fill permits. The board voted by voice, members responded “Aye,” and the motion carried.
In new business, the board approved a request to remove a young locust tree at 7798 Tanager Street after the resident reported consulting an arborist and said the owners would remove and replace the tree at their expense to avoid sidewalk damage. The Chair moved to grant the removal; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The authority also approved a request to refund building permit number 2657 (applicant recorded in the meeting as Windham Nation) and authorized releasing a performance bond for Lumen’s Logistics down to a maintenance bond once staff confirmed that the maintenance bond was in place. Staff told the board they had reviewed the development and recommended the change; the board voted to approve the release contingent on receipt of the maintenance bond.
On an unsafe-building matter at 300 West Old Bridge Road, staff reported that the property owner had submitted planning paperwork for a one-lot subdivision and that, if approved, the house would be removed. The board moved to set the unsafe-building item over to April 15 to allow the planning commission review to proceed; that motion passed.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed by voice vote.
