From the Building Committee
As spring arrives, many residents are considering home improvement projects. Please remember that approval from the Building Committee is required for, but not limited to, house or roof color changes, additions, patios, decks, pools, driveways and major landscaping changes. If you are simply repairing or replacing something with the exact material, then approval is not required; however, depending on the project, you may still require a McHenry County Building Permit.
All of the information you need is available through the Trout Valley website or in the right hand sidebar "quick link" in this newsletter. Contact Steve Kidder or Ann Somers for questions.

COM-ED TREE TRIMMING Update
Com Ed has marked all the trees that need to be trimmed (green ribbons) or removed (pink ribbons) near their power lines. That will probably take place in June and will be done with big orange Asplundh trucks. Trees will be cut into fireplace sized logs and left where they came down. Help yourself. You are welcomed.

Chipping Season is Back
Motion on Chipping
Best Practices
Chipping of brush and tree limbs is a service provided by Trout Valley maintenance
personnel using Trout Valley provided wood chipping equipment for the convenience of Trout Valley residents. It is NOT for cleanup after professional landscape or tree services.
Large wood chipping equipment is used in this process and will not be brought onto the resident's property (liability issues); nor will small, left over debris be raked up. Piles of wood and brush must be left next to the street on the resident's property.
Timing of wood chipping will be posted on signs coming into Trout Valley. Currently those signs are on Stonegate as it intersects Country Commons and on Country Commons at the intersection with Turkey Run. The wood chipping season is largely dependent on Algonquin Township's ability to accept wood chip dumping. The usual season is March through October. Watch the signage for specific dates.
Piles of brush, etc., to be chipped should be no longer than ten (10) feet, nor should any limbs have a maximum diameter greater than eight (8) inches. No root structures or balls of dirt will be chipped or hauled away - the possibility of included rocks that could damage the chipper or cause safety concerns for our maintenance workers is just too great.
Thanks for your cooperation!
***********************************
Need Mulch? (plus update)
As many of you know, the Trout Valley Maintenance crew creates wood chips that could be used as mulch. We normally have so much that we have to dump them at the Algonquin Highway locale, or at the Cary maintenance area.
Here's the deal - we can dump it on your property so you can mulch those plants you're buying at the Riding Club sale! Only a couple limitations - we will get you a load when we have it, a load consists of one full truckload (not a half), it will be dumped on your property where our truck can reach the spot (usually a driveway), and if it's first ordered, it's first delivered. I will maintain the list for Bernie. So if you need Mulch, call me at 847-682-8500. Let me know where you want it dumped, and we will try to accommodate you.
Several of you had requested that we drop off wood chips for your yards, but haven't seen them yet. You are still on the list! We decided not to drop off our last loads as they consisted mainly of pine, with many pine needles and lots of tree sap. We will get to at least some of you soon - as we do intend to chip again as soon as we see the piles start growing again. Need some dry warm weekends to get y'all working in your yards!

The Cary Post Office is asking residents in the community to place nonperishable food in or by their mailbox on May 10. The food will go directly to the Cary Grove Food Pantry and will be provided to people in the area needing food assistance. This is one of the largest food drives of the year and helps to keep food on the shelves through the summer months. The pantry serves an average of 200 families each month and this drive goes a long way to providing the needed food for them. Your participation on May 10 is appreciated.

Blast versus Newsletter?
We've recently had questions and requests for sending out email blasts to Trout Valley residents. These have included blasts for charitable donations and open houses. Most community information can be circulated in the weekly newsletter. The blasts are reserved for important and time-sensitive information. We want residents to know that when they receive a blast, they should read it as soon as they can, as it is something of concern for the community.
When we reject a blast request, we are trying to balance the need to communicate effectively and quickly with Trout Valley against the rights of the residents not to be overwhelmed with local messages. If we don't send out a lot of blasts, we hope those we do send get your attention. We appreciate your consideration.
Thanks, Bob Baker
