*(# 8 & #19) These items are stated & explained in the Bi-Laws, but it's noticed that these items are installed on properties in Olde Mill.  The intent is to keep these items in good order & maintained appropriately.  No metal sheds.  Be conscience of your neighbors, and ask if there's a problem installing these items.  Fencing needs a permit to be installed & those already installed in Olde Mill may be "grandfathered".  If not kept up or maintained appropriately, the Bi-Laws can be enforced & items removed.
