SPRING REMINDER FROM
THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
You need to submit plans for approval if you want to add on to your house (room additions, garages, decks, patios, porches, bumped-out bay windows, new roof elevations, etc.) If you are changing an exterior material, or its color, e.g. paint, asphalt shingles, brick/stone, decking materials, you also need to get approval from the Trout Valley building Committee. If it is simply a replacement with the same color or material, you do NOT have to obtain permission. Permits required for interior projects, such as plumbing or electrical issues, can be obtained by your licensed contractor.
The procedure for submitting changes is as follows:
- Get the Building Committee checklist from the Trout Valley website, www.troutvalleycommunity.com or click here to print: Building Committee Checklist
- Submit plans with check list to Chairman, Steve Kidder 847-462-2564. Per the checklist, include architectural drawings with proposed changes, all affected elevations, side lot lines, material finishes, $40 processing fee (non-refundable) and $1,000 performance bond fee (refundable) to the Chairman for review . It should take no more than 2 weeks.
- With a letter of approval from the Building Committee, you can obtain a building permit from McHenry County (815-334-4560), or the Village of Cary (847-639-0003), if you live within the Cary city limits.
- Upon satisfactory and timely completion of your project, notify the chairman, who will approve your $1,000 performance bond fee refund.
If you have any questions, please review the forms and building guidelines on the website, or call Steve Kidder at 847-462-2564 or Ann Somers at 847-639-1278.

Wood Chipping
Chipping season is back.
The maintenance crew has begun chipping and wanted to remind residents of the rules.
All refuse must be brought to the street, no exceptions.
Branches must be 6" diameter or under. Larger limbs must be cut to under 20" in length.
No stumps. No loose leaves or grindings.
In addition, the crew will NOT remove large piles assembled by professional tree services or landscapers.
If you are having a tree removed, don't leave the chipping for us.
There are wipe-off boards with information about upcoming chipping days on the street corners near the barn.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Steve Gerard
