MAINSTREET COMMUNITY INFORMATION


Mainstreet is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of five (5) members that are homeowners who volunteer their time. Board members serve a two (2) year term and are elected by the membership. Their responsibilities include, but are not limited to the making of policies, financial soundness and future planning for the Association. The day-to-day operation of the Mainstreet Community is delegated to the on-site Management Staff through the Board of Directors.

Mainstreet consists of 1164 residences. To better assist the Board of Directors, the community has been divided into fifteen (15) separate neighborhoods. 

Mainstreet Community Services Association owns seventy acres of land within the subdivision for the common enjoyment of its members. We have an eleven acre and a five acre lake set among the common owned property. Most of our outdoor facilities lie in the park area which stretches from north of Mainstreet Park Drive all the way to Redan Road. Your amenities include a playground, a baseball field, a combination football/soccer field, two lighted tennis courts for evening play, and a pavilion and picnic area.

The clubhouse, located on the shore of the smaller lake, contains a large multipurpose room with a deck, a pool table, a weight and exercise room, dressing rooms for both men and women, and a sauna. To the right and the left of the clubhouse are the two (2) swimming pools. 

Homeowners will also be able to obtain information from our website at www.mainstreetcommunity.org


  MAINSTREET COMMUNITY IDENTIFICATION


Mainstreet is your home. Be proud to be a part of this community and Dekalb County. The recreational facilities are spread out over seventy acres of green space and, consequently they are impossible to maintain without community cooperation.

Visible membership identification is a necessity if non-residents are to be kept from using the facilities. The membership identification card issued to you will be required at all times for you to use the facilities. Persons not having proper identification will be asked to leave if not accompanied by a MCSA resident.

The staff cannot patrol all of the community facilities; the community must question all
individuals who do not have visible membership identification and ask non-residents to leave.

The following items pertain specifically to you and your membership identification.

1. Your membership identification (both adults and children over the age of 7) must be visible when using all outdoor facilities.  
 
2. Tennis players are asked to hang their identification from a belt loop, on the net, or in a
conspicuous place so you are recognized as a resident.

3. NO ONE will be allowed to enter the pool area without membership identification. Pool guests will be issued guest passes at a nominal fee either by the office or the lifeguard.  Membership identification will be checked by the staff member at the pool gate and left on file while you are in the pool area.

4. Please wear your identification card or make it visible while picnicking, playing on the fields, fishing at the lake or playing in the park areas. If you do not have your
identification, you will be asked to leave.

5. Loaning of an identification card is prohibited. Violators of this rule may be subject to
loss of facilities use.

6. A lost identification card should be reported to the clubhouse immediately. There will be a replacement charge.
 
Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy using your facilities.
