MILL CREEK SOUTH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - Board Meeting Minutes

1. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 7:40 pm. The minutes from the June 25 meeting were approved with one minor spelling correction.

2. Treasurer's Report: Printed on the back of the minutes.

3. Homeowner comments:

• There has been some confusion among homeowners regarding easements. Easements, including the one reserved on all lot lines in MCS, typically do not permit public use. An easement is like a contract between two people allowing one to use a portion of the other's property for a particular purpose. For example, a utility easement only allows utility companies to use a portion of the grantor's property to lay and maintain utility lines. Please respect your neighbors' property, including the portions which may be designated as easements.
