Petitioner receives six‑month extension for 67‑lot Bickley Hollow subdivision
Summary
The Hobart authority granted a six‑month extension for petition 23‑12 (a proposed 67‑lot Bickley Hollow subdivision) after the petitioner updated the board on presales and financing; Commissioner Marco Rodriguez had recommended a one‑year extension but the panel voted for six months.
A petitioner seeking approval of a 67‑lot subdivision called Bickley Hollow updated the Hobart planning body and asked for more time to complete required work and financing arrangements.
The presenter (speaker 7) said market conditions are improving, that the project team has presales and is moving to acquire property outright, and that they were prepared to proceed once financing and site work are in place. "We've been fortunate to have a lot of presold ... we're just asking for another extension," the presenter said.
Commissioner Marco Rodriguez (speaker 8), representing the city's economic development function, recommended the petitioner consider a one‑year extension to coordinate planning and common‑council scheduling. "My recommendation might be for you to consider a year extension," Rodriguez said.
After brief discussion about progress and scheduling, a commissioner moved to grant a six‑month extension; the motion was seconded and carried. The developer was thanked for the update and told to return with a status report at the end of the extension period.
Next step: the petitioner will return to the planning commission in six months with progress on financing, infrastructure staging and a schedule for construction permitting.
