An Exterior Alteration Application must be submitted for all compost piles.

A compost pile includes any structure built to house composting or any compost pile. The impact of the "look and smell" of any proposed compost pile on neighboring properties will be considered (i.e., the least intrusive location is most desirable).

1. A compost pile must be located at the rear of the house.

2. Failure to maintain your compost pile is a violation of the maintenance provisions of the River Hill Village Covenants.

3. If a compost pile is moved to a location other than that in the original application, a new application must be submitted. In addition, if the compost pile design or structure is altered in any way, you must reapply.

4. Compost piles located on a townhouse property will be reviewed on a case by case basis, and may not be permitted in some instances.

5. No compost pile will be placed on open or common space.

Application Requirements:

Submit a site (plat) plan showing the location of the compost pile relative to the house, property line, and neighboring houses. Also, include a drawing showing the exact dimensions and style of the compost pile, a description of the color and materials to be used, and the type and location of planting material to be used for screening (see guideline on Screening). If applicable, include a manufacturer's drawing and/or photograph, if available.
