Board approves downtown film shoot, lists vendor permissions and defers fill‑permit appeals to Board of Works
Summary
At the meeting the board approved downtown vendor permissions through Oct. 31, granted a downtown film shoot for March 22–25, tabled an unsafe building order to April 1 and deferred appeals on a contested fill permit to the Board of Works meeting on the 18th.
The Hobart redevelopment authority approved several procedural items and scheduled follow‑ups while deferring contested land‑use appeals to a later meeting.
Staff read and the board approved downtown vendor permissions for six businesses, noting the approvals run through Oct. 31. The board also considered a $43,000 design/bid agreement to prepare bid documents for the CCMG streets package and supported moving forward so the city can bid work if and when grant funding is awarded.
The board approved a downtown film shoot for March 22–25 after the applicant (introduced by staff as John Snowden van Van Bailyn) confirmed the production would use sidewalks, remain daytime and coordinate with police. Chair instructed staff to keep the police department apprised of activities.
On unsafe buildings, staff reported a stop‑work at 312 North Canton Street related to plumbing contractor availability; the board moved to set the unsafe‑building order over to April 1 to allow the owner time to obtain a licensed plumber and show substantial compliance.
On land‑use appeals tied to a planning commission fill permit, the chair said commissioners will make determinations at the Board of Works meeting on the 18th and provide written findings to petitioners; petitioners were advised they may request executive session for legal questions before that meeting.
The meeting concluded after recorded 'aye' votes on the listed motions.
