Summary
Trustees directed staff to prepare ordinance language and maps to expand the village’s registered-offender residency buffer (discussion mentioned increasing from 750–1,000 to roughly 1,250 feet); the board voted to bring the ordinance back for three readings.
Hartland — The Village of Hartland board on Nov. 10 directed staff to prepare a revised ordinance updating the registered-offender residency restriction and to present maps and readings at future meetings.
Trustee 15 said after reviewing maps and consulting residents, he favors expanding the buffer and mentioned bringing it out to 1,250 feet, while staff said formal ordinance updates require three readings and that staff would return with maps and an ordinance draft for the board to consider. The board voted unanimously to bring the ordinance back for the readings process.
Staff cautioned that accurately counting affected units — particularly in multifamily buildings — would require an engineering or GIS review (estimated at about $3,000 if the board asked for precise availability percentages). Trustees asked that enlarged printed maps be made available for review.
