Village adopts ordinance allowing PUD fee modifications for planned-unit developments
Summary
The Village Board adopted Ordinance No. 05272025-A to amend PUD overlay rules so the board may modify impact, connection or regional service-availability fees in planned-unit developments; the change was described as clarifying the board's flexibility for senior-housing projects.
The Village Board voted to adopt Ordinance No. 05272025-A, amending section 46-801 of the Village of Hartland Code of Ordinances to clarify that the board may modify impact, connection or regional service availability charge fees and other applicable fees within a planned-unit development (PUD) overlay.
Why it matters: The ordinance change was presented as clarifying municipal authority to negotiate or alter fee obligations as part of PUD approvals, a tool commonly used to adapt standards for site-specific development plans such as the senior housing project discussed in prior sessions.
Board discussion: Village staff said the amendment "says the village board may modify any impact to reconnection or regional service availability charge fees or any other fees it chooses in a PUD." The staff member added that the language is consistent with the PUD concept, which allows for negotiated modifications to standards.
Outcome: Trustee motioned and the board voted to adopt Ordinance No. 05272025-A on its third reading. The motion carried without a recorded roll call in the transcript excerpt.
Ending: Staff noted this language is useful for future PUD negotiations; no immediate project-specific fee changes were enacted at the meeting.
