Authority grants six-month extension for Bickley Hollow subdivision
Summary
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority granted a six-month extension to the petitioner for the proposed 67-lot Bickley Hollow subdivision after the developer outlined recent progress and committed funds; Commissioner Marco Rodriguez had recommended a longer extension but board members opted for six months.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority voted to grant a six-month extension to the petitioner for petition 23-12, a proposed 67-lot subdivision known as Bickley Hollow.
Developer remarks: The presenter described a pickup in market demand, said the developer plans to buy the property outright rather than accept a deeded portion, and reported the developer has already contributed about $156,000 through Baker Tilly to support the project. The presenter said some lots are presold and that construction should begin when financing and an excavator are in place.
Board action and rationale: Commissioner Marco Rodriguez, representing economic development, recommended the board consider a one-year extension because additional steps (planning permission and council approval) could take longer. Board members discussed the timeline and monitoring needs and ultimately voted to grant a six-month extension so the developer can return with an update. A committee member made the motion and it was seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
What happens next: The petitioner is expected to return at the end of the extension with progress updates. The extension preserves the petitioner’s entitlement while the developer pursues financing and site preparation.
