Village board approves Sand Hill PUD amendment for Seapman Realty
Summary
On second reading the Village of Hartland board approved a planned unit development amendment for the Sand Hill project, shifting portions to single-family condominium units, granting a public walking-path easement while leaving maintenance to the HOA, and suspending rules to vote on the measure at the meeting.
The Village of Hartland board voted to approve a planned unit development (PUD) amendment requested by Seapman Realty Corp for the Sand Hill subdivision, moving the project toward single-family condominium product and reducing unit counts in the first phases.
The board heard a second-reading presentation from the developer and village planning staff, who described the change as a conversion from earlier multi-family/townhome layouts to single-family condominium lots with design guidance to match adjacent neighborhoods. A village representative said the red-marked path easement on the plan “allows public access,” and that ordinary maintenance for most internal paths will be handled by the homeowners association, not the village.
Trustees asked for clarification on circulation and emergency access where Terry Lane and Homestead Drive connect to the development, as well as whether granting a path easement creates maintenance obligations for the village. Staff and the developer replied the easement grants public access but that maintenance obligations will be borne by the HOA, consistent with previous phases. The developer also confirmed Phase 1 and 2 will eliminate four previously planned units and that remaining lots will be sized (approximately 65 by 85 feet) to accommodate single-family homes with garages set toward the rear and porches facing the street.
The board suspended the rules to allow immediate action and then approved the PUD amendment by voice vote. Staff said the design details will still be refined through subsequent design-board and planning-review steps. The developer was present in the room and on Zoom for questions during the second-reading hearing.
The board directed staff to continue coordination on final design, public-access signage and pick-up/egress logistics for adjacent streets before construction proceeds.
