Board approves tree removal, permit refund and bond release; unsafe‑building case set over
Summary
The authority approved a property owner’s tree‑removal request at 7798 Tanager Street, authorized a refund for building permit 2657, and agreed to release a developer’s performance bond for Lumen's Logistics once a maintenance bond is in place; the unsafe‑building matter for 300 West Old Bridge Road was set over to April 15.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority approved several routine property and permit matters and set a code enforcement matter over for a later date.
Chair moved and the board approved a request to allow removal of a locust tree in an easement at 7798 Tanager Street; a resident (speaker 2) said the homeowner consulted an arborist, will pay removal costs and intends to replant. Chair also moved to refund building permit number 2657 (listed in the record as Windham Nation); that refund was approved by voice vote.
On a development bond, staff recommended and the board approved releasing a performance bond for a project identified in the record as Lumen's Logistics and replacing it with a maintenance‑type bond once staff confirms the maintenance bond is in place. Chair said approval is contingent on the maintenance bond being received.
On an unsafe‑building update, a staff member reported that Mr. Cox had submitted paperwork for a planning commission public hearing on a proposed one‑lot subdivision; if the commission approves the subdivision, Mr. Cox intends to remove the house at 300 West Old Bridge Road. The board voted to set the unsafe‑building matter over to the April 15 meeting for follow up.
Earlier in the meeting the chair also provided community updates: a re‑energized after‑school program with the PCC center and Mayor's Youth Council had drawn "over 40" children at its first session, and the city is preparing dog‑park fixtures and considering key fobs (a fee schedule amendment will be proposed).
