    The Amendment language (10. Deviations to Approved Single-Family Residential Subdivisions) is overly vague, and allows neighbors to gang-up on other neighbors, for the purpose of limiting that owner's development rights. All lots on record paid for the road to be paved, and sewerage to be installed on Bradley Circle (for example). This is an off-plantation area - not a organized neighborhood. There is not even a POA/HOA - so they are attempting to get around this with this Amendment. Each parcel owner has a right to build (for a home or a rental); and no other owner should have the right to limit other's rights to build within the law - because of a perceived 'ruining of our neighborhood'. Bradley Circle (again for example) was always a vacation neighborhood (and some mixed residential); well before the Marriott built an enormous time-share complex directly adjacent. The proximity to the beach makes it great for both purposes. Several lots are yet to be developed, and existing owners knew this prior to purchasing to live here full-time, part-time or otherwise. Marriott was previously given a R/W, in order to bring Bradley Circle an alternate entrance. In my opinion, this access-road issue should be re-visited. This would allow Sandy Trail to be closed to car traffic, and eliminate the primary concern of residents. I have forwarded a email message to both Town and County Planners about this. Beyond this, it is not nearly as congested as many other beach-front neighborhoods. Any effort to limit the rights of existing owners in this neighborhood are punitive - and are directed at one or more specific owners with whom a select group of other owners disagree with about everything. I should go on the record to say that these targeted amendments came about after failed attempt by Town to purchase property on Bradley Circle for open space. In fact, the frontage lots were offered to other residents before being sold to the current owner. Rather than leveraging the LMO to gain increased restrictions on land owners (which are vague); I argue that Bradley Circle residents should create an HOA, not burden the Town with every perceived slight - nor create increasing obstacles to building that will affect every island landowner. Thank you

Open Town Hall HHI is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in Open Town Hall HHI is voluntary. The comments in this record are not necessarily representative of the whole population, nor do they reflect the opinions of any government agency or elected officials.

Open Town Hall HHI has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your comment. Either way, Community Feedback will show your comment on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your comment with Hilton Head Island staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Open Town Hall HHI). Registration is free.

The Town of Hilton Head Island has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor comments shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the Town of Hilton Head Island restricts the number of comments any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a comment is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each comment (not the address).
  • If a user posts a comment that does not meet the Town of Hilton Head Island guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the Town of Hilton Head Island to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

  • Since you'll see your own comment on Open Town Hall HHI, you'll be able to confirm that your comment was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your comment as long as the topic is open.

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The Town of Hilton Head Island offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own comment after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. The Town of Hilton Head Island has contracted with OpenGov to administer Open Town Hall HHI.
