𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘: 𝗘𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗦. Due to inquiries about egress window installation, a new Rule on the subject has been added to the Handbook to clarify the wording of the Michigan Condominium Act and our Condominium Documents on the topic:

"The Association will not approve Co-owner requests to install egress windows in General Common Element foundations or General Common Element perimeter walls. The Association believes egress windows can adversely impact the soundness and utility of the Condominium and are not in the best interest of the Association."

Please note that egress windows, and egress window wells, cannot be added as building walls and areas outside the building are owned by the Association and are not part of any unit. The Michigan Condominium Act (MLC 559.147) specifically states that unit owners are prohibited from make changes to Association property.

𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗞 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗? Since our regular painter is not painting the buildings until next year, he has some time on his hands. In that regard he's offering deck painting (including power washing, scraping and paint) for $800 to $1200, depending on the size of the deck. As Mill Creek's regular painter, he is well aware of the correct paint color to use.
Should you need your deck painted, please contact George at 586-662-7019 (text or leave message), or send an email to [email protected].

To keep our community clean and comfortable for everyone, please observe the following guidelines:

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: Please ensure your dog does not urinate on or near buildings, including garages, porches, patios, and flower beds. Urine penetrates porous materials like brick, cement, and pavers, causing permanent stains, weakened mortar, and persistent odors.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆: Please respect your neighbors’ privacy by walking your dog away from windows and porches. Avoid using long leashes that allow pets to approach these areas.

𝗕𝗨𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗦? Below are a few tips to avoid the high expense of having to replace your new windows because they were not installed per the Association’s specifications. Note that there are 7 different units within the complex, each with a different window configuration. 𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

𝟮) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 (also available from millcreekofshelby.com and the mgmt. company's portal). To avoid any issues, you may ask the installer for written verification that the specifications were received.
3) The exterior vinyl trim color for both windows and doorwalls must be similar to the darker gray wood trim on buildings (i.e. medium gray).
4) The trim of the window itself must be white (bordering the glass).
5) The muntin bars must be brown/bronze and in the exact configuration as in the original builder-installed windows. Each muntin "panel/rectangle" must be the exact same size.
6) First floor bathroom window is casement style for all unit models.
7) Screen trim must be gray to match windows/doorwall.

Most all windows within the complex are double hung “cottage style” windows where the top section has two rows of muntin “panels” and the bottom has three rows. The number of “rectangular panels” per muntin row varies by unit type:

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱/𝗘𝗹𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱/𝗢𝗮𝗸𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱:
MB/2BR: 4 panels per row (see photo), MB smaller window: 3 per row.
𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱:
MB/2BR: 4 per row (see photo).
𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱:
MB/2BR: 3 panels per muntin row

The following units have windows that are divided in the middle (3 rows of muntin panels in each section):

𝗢𝗮𝗸𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱: Great room: 3 muntin panels per row.
𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲: MB, Great room: 3 per row.
𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱: MB: 4 per row.

A schematic of the various unit styles can be found at the back of the Handbook.
