Does a "company" decision trump actual property lines/ownership? (British Columbia)

I'll try to make this as consise as possible. My parents own a summer cottage in BC on Shuswap Lake, the property is part of a company of about 9 properties/owners.

This issue that's popping up is with the owner next door. According to the property lines, my parents own the land in between the cabins, as well as about 4 feet into the neighbors living room. They've been friends up until this point and have never had any issues.

Now this neighbor wants to install a large septic holding tank in between the two cabins. He didn't ask my parents to do this, nor did he even tell them. My dad just so happened to be outside when the contractor came for a quote. My parents don't want this holding tank on their property. The neighbour has the option to put it on the other side of his cabin, on land that he actually owns.

This neighbor so happens to be the president of the company. He held the annual meeting recently, which my parents unfortunately could not attend, and in the minutes it's stating that "all property aside from where your structure/cabin is is considered company property". We think he's going to attempt to use this wording to force my parents to allow him to build his tank on their land.

Can he do this? The land has been surveyed, my parents 100% own the land, pay taxes on the land, etc.

If he has it installed after the summer when my parents are no longer there, can they do anything?

Thanks so much for the help!
