Page () of 22 MEADVIEW CIVIC ASSOCIATION POLICIES JOINING OF TWO LOTS: On June 8, 1988 a policy was put into practice to allow the joining of two adjoining lots and to then pay only one assessment.

In the annual election on May 25, 1991 this policy was rescinded to become effective July 13, 1991. Thereafter, the joining of two lots to reduce the assessment to one payment was discontinued.
