If you did not receive this information in the mail, contact Deputy Clerk Jan Esch at the Village Hall (734-222-5209 or bhvclerk@comcast.net).

ANNUAL COMMITTEE REPORTS The BHV Board of Trustees has several committees that oversee particular activities. The annual reports of these committees are attached on the following pages of this Bulletin. Contact the Clerk’s Office for this attachment.
ZONING REMINDER Project Review is required for all new construction, exterior alteration of existing structures and landscape projects in Barton Hills Village. This includes:
–fences and retaining walls greater than 18” high
–accessory buildings (garage, garden shed, gazebo, etc)
–excavation other than common household gardening/ground care
–playground equipment, stairways/patio enclosures, outdoor swimming/landscape pools
–exterior lighting, generators/AC equipment
–parking areas, solar/wind energy structures , satellite antennas
Routine maintenance and repairs do not require review unless there will be a change in materials or structure. Significant changes in approved plans require a secondary review.
No construction or cutting of trees may commence until all approvals are completed.
Please ask! You’d rather hear you don’t need approval for that than you needed to have that approved ! Contact Jan Esch for questions or to begin the process for any project.
IN SYMPATHY Deepest sympathies to the family of former resident Kathleen Fisher who passed away recently.
SEPTIC REMINDER Please contact the BHV Clerk’s Office when making an appointment for septic pumping so a staff member can come at the same time to fill out necessary paperwork. BHV Code Chapter 8 requires pumping at least every 4 years or more often as needed.
RECYCLING REMINDER Please put corrugated cardboard boxes just inside the salt storage building (out of the rain) next to the green recycling bin instead of in the green bin. Corrugated cardboard is recycled separately by the BHV crew. Thanks!
