BARTON BULLETIN VOL. LXIX No. 2
RECYCLING CHANGES
Improvements are coming to the BHV Recycling Program starting on February 1, 2023.
- Green Bins. There will be 2 large green bins—one for plastics/glass, and the other for paper products.
The bins will be clearly marked with signs indicating what goes in each bin.
Do not put corrugated cardboard in the green bins.
- Number 2 plastic jugs will go in the green bin for plastics, not in the wire enclosures.
- Corrugated Cardboard. Corrugated cardboard must be dry, clean and empty. Empty boxes may be left inside the salt shed where they will stay dry. Corrugated cardboard at residents’ homes will not be picked up on regular trash days if they have anything in them.
- It will take about 45 minutes to have the bin dumped/returned, so if the bin is missing, it will be back soon.
These changes address resident issues noted in the recent Recycling Survey. Please
help to make the BHV Recycling Program more efficient and more cost effective by following these simple rules. Thanks!
BHMC 100TH ANNIVERSARY!
Barton Hills Maintenance Corporation is celebrating the 100th anniversary of their March 24, 1922 incorporation by sponsoring an event focused on Frederick Law Olmsted, whose firm designed the Barton Hills community.
The BHMC Board of Directors is hosting a visit this spring by historian and filmmaker Laurence Cotton, originator of and consulting producer to the PBS special “Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America.” Mr. Cotton will be speaking on the remarkable life and career of the Renaissance-man Frederick Law Olmsted and the firm’s work in master planning Barton Hills Village.
Olmsted was known as a writer, philosopher, social reformer, advocate for the preservation of
OLMSTED (continued)
natural scenery, and creator of some of the most beautiful public and private parks and gardens
in all of North America, including Central Park, New York City; Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina; Mount Royal, Montreal, Canada; and the Grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the White House.
As a landscape historian, Laurence Cotton is active with the National Association for Olmsted Parks, and regularly travels across North America presenting his PBS film and popular talk about the Olmsted legacy—father, two sons, and Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm.
The BHMC Board is requesting shareholder help with this celebration:
–input for topics that may be included in the lecture
–planning to host Mr. Cotton
–community social event prior to the lecture
–other ideas to make this special event memorable
Please contact BHMC Director Brian Hanley at 512-658-6811 or beukeb@gmail.com to share thoughts and volunteer help for the BHMC 100th Anniversary celebration.
DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN Year 4 of the 5-year Deer Management Plan was successfully completed on January 23, 2023.
THINKING SPRING? While you’re gazing at snow, with visions of spring gardens and outdoor improvements dancing in your head, please remember:
the BHV Zoning Ordinance and
BHMC Architectural Guidelines
require review of all exterior structures
This includes porches, decks, patios, accessory buildings (garages, storage buildings, garden sheds), fences/walls/berms over 18” tall, lighting, generators, play structures, chicken coops and bee hives.
It takes a little time for project review, so please ask first,
before you order materials and hire workers, to avoid frustrating delays.
