Dear Barton Hills Village resident,

Here are a few items that warrant your attention before the next edition of the Barton Bulletin is published.

1)  You may have received a flyer in/on your mailbox from Eradico Mosquito Services.  The heading would indicate that this may be a village-wide insect control program.  However, this is a private company solicitation and is not sponsored by Barton Hills Village.  It is completely your choice whether or not to purchase this service.

2)  The Barton Hills Village Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on May 13, 2013 at 6:00 PM at the Village Hall, 199 Barton Shore Drive, to hear application for variances submitted by Richard and Susan Allison, owners of property at 260 Barton Shore Drive. Variance is requested from Section 5.01(b)(1) of the Barton Hills Village Zoning Ordinance for construction of garage space for more than three automobiles, and variance from Section 5.03(d) for construction of an accessory building taller than 15 feet. The application may be inspected at the Clerk’s Office at the Village Hall(734-222-5509). Written comments may be submitted in person, mailed to Barton Hills Village, 199 Barton Shore Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 or emailed to bhvclerk@comcast.net prior to the close of the public hearing.  The Barton Hills Village Board of Trustees regular meeting scheduled for May 13, 2013 at 6 PM will convene immediately following the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.

Residents are reminded to check the BHV Zoning Ordinance (posted on-line at www.vil-bartonhills.org) and to contact the Clerk’s Office for permit information before beginning exterior construction/renovation/landscape projects.
3)  Residents are also reminded that contractors who are hired for yard clean up are expected to haul away their collected yard wastes, leaves and brush.

4)  Looking ahead:  Barton Hills Village Annual Meeting, Monday May 13, 2013 immediately following the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting which begins at 6:00 PM at the Village Hall.  More details and annual committee reports will be published in the next issue of the Barton Bulletin.

Happy Spring!

Jan Esch, Deputy Clerk
