Introduction to Building Requirements
Congratulations on your decision to make Olde Towne your home. We are confident you will experience the unique character, charm, and quality of life that Olde Towne offers. You may have already selected your building site and a home plan or perhaps you are talking to one of our builders about a custom or spec home. Regardless, now is the time to familiarize yourself with the covenants, codes and restrictions that serve to guide construction and living in Olde Towne at Millcreek.

These guidelines were adapted to assure the harmonious development of buildings, blocks and streetscapes within the neighborhood and to build and protect the value of your real estate investment for years to come. The three documents that make up these guidelines are:

Declaration of Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions consisting of:

• Definitions
• Properties subject to the Declaration.
• Establishment of Neighborhood Association and Commons.
• Establishment of Easement of Enjoyment and Servitudes.
• Covenants related to Building Planning and Construction.
• Covenants and restrictions related to the Owners Use of Individual Lots.
• Dedication of easements and right-of-ways by Developer

Urban Design Guidelines consisting of:

• Urban Regulating Standards
• Architectural Standards
• Landscape Standards

Covenants of the Olde Towne Neighborhood Association and the Olde Towne Arts and Cultural Society

• Management duties, responsibilities and objectives
• Membership requirements
• Assessments

Together these documents might seem intimidating, with their abundance of pages and legalistic verbiage. The best way to understand the content of documents is to review each separately, paying particular attention to the section, paragraph and sentence headings. This will help you know where to look for specific information that you require. Please be assured the objective of these guidelines is to maintain neighborhood harmony and to create value for the residents of Olde Towne.
