Pool IS OPEN - Pavillion is NOT Open
The POOL IS OPEN, but the Pavillion is NOT OPEN. Special rules were ADDED to the standing pool rules, due to requirements from the State and the City. ALL the rules are posted at the pool and you have received them in the mailbox. Please comply with these rules - they are designed to protect the health of EVERYONE - and that includes you and you your neighbors.
 

 

Birnamwood Homes Exterior Paint
Please be careful to use the formulation that is specified in the chart here. Other formulations may look similar (in the store) but will not match the specifications, and will cause you to have to redo work, expense and hassle.
 
Recently a homeowner used a 2013 paint can formulation and it simply did not match! Also make sure to use the Sherwin Williams store in Lakeville. For the details click here, please.

Recycling and Waste Collection
The Buckingham Companies collect our waste and recycled bins. Collection day is Wednesday. Recycles are collected (from the yellow-lid bins) every other Wednesday.
 
Please do not roll out the waste bins BEFORE 6pm on the night before collection. To ease the access for the collection trucks, please place the bins at least 3 feet away from your garage wall, and at least 3 feet apart from each other.    
 
Collection Days Calendar.
 
Buckingham is closed on certain holidays. When the holiday occurs on collection week, the collection will be delayed to the next day (i.e. Thursday). See days highlighted in yellow in the schedule here.
 

ACC Applications
About the Home Improvement Committees

Purpose: The Architecture Control Committee (ACC) maintains, manages, and recommends changes to the architecture and paint standards set forth in the Birnamwood Homes Association (BHA) founding and governing documents.

ACC versus Homes Maintenance versus Grounds: BHA has three related committees, the ACC, the Grounds Committee, and the Homes Maintenance Committee.  Their descriptions are listed below:
  • Homes Maintenance Committee: Maintaining your home in good repair is not covered with the ACC standards. Homes Maintenance is concerned with ensuring all homes are kept in good repair.  It looks for painting and deterioration of siding, chimneys, and other unit structures.
     
  • Architecture Control Committee: Maintaining your home requires repairs and replacement of various parts of the unit’s exterior.  No structure, building, addition, deck, patio, fence, wall, enclosure, window, exterior door, or any other exterior replacements, improvements, or alterations (visible from the exterior of the unit) are to be started until an application (explained at Application Forms link below) has been submitted and approved by the Architecture Control Committee (and the Board, depending upon the application).
     
  • Grounds Committee Landscaping in front of the unit is not covered with the ACC standards. Landscaping is concerned with the use of the grounds outside the units, such as plants in the ground, rocks, stones, and any other use outside the unit that comes in contact with the ground. This falls under the Grounds Committee.  All information pertaining to landscaping may be requested from the Grounds Committee, and approval of planting and any modifications to the landscaping must be approved by Grounds Committee. (Grounds Committee link below)
ACC Guiding Values: The ACC has adopted a set of values, and will use them in enforcing, evaluating, maintaining, and recommending changes to the standards (Value Statements Page link below).
