jurisdiction of the Association established for the area encompassing such
annexed property. Such Supplemental Declaration or other appropriate document
may contain such additions, modifications or deletions as may be deemed by
Grantor or the Association, as applicable, desirable to reflect the different

Declaration of Deletion of Property is recorded in the Office of the Madison
County, Idaho Recorder in the same manner as a Supplemental Declaration of
annexation. The Association shall not be entitled to de-annex all or any portion of
any other annexed property, except on the favorable vote of seventy-five percent

long as Grantor owns any portion of the Property.”
35. Paragraph 12.2 of Article 12 of the Declaration is hereby amended by deleting it

necessary for the use and enjoyment of a Building Lot or Common Area.”
36. Paragraph 12.3 and subparagraph 12.3.1 of Article 12 of the Declaration are

Lots or Common Area, and for necessary maintenance and repair for any
improvement including fencing, retaining walls, lighting facilities, mailboxes and
sidewalk abutments, trees, and landscaping. Notwithstanding anything expressly
or impliedly contained herein to the contrary, this Declaration shall be subject to
all easements heretofore or hereafter granted by Grantor for the installation and
maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities that are required for the
development of the Property. In addition, Grantor hereby reserves the right to
grant additional easements and rights-of-way over the Property and/or to the
Property until the close of escrow for the sale of the last Building Lot owned by

12.3.1 Improvement of Drainage and Utility Easement Areas.
The Owners of Building Lots are hereby restricted and enjoined
from constructing any Improvements upon any drainage or utility
easement areas as shown on the Plat or otherwise designated in any
recorded document which would interfere with or prevent the
easement from being used for such purpose; provided, however,
that the Owner of a Building Lot and the Grantor, Association or
designated entity with regard to the Landscaping Easement
described in this Article 12, shall be entitled to install and maintain
landscaping on such easement areas and also shall be entitled to
build and maintain fencing on such easement areas subject to
approval by the Association or the Architectural Committee, so
long as the same shall not interfere with or prevent the easement
areas from being used for their intended purposes; provided, that
any damage sustained to improvements on the easement areas as a
result of legitimate use of the easement areas shall be the sole and
exclusive obligation of the Owner whose improvements were so
damaged.”
37. Subparagraph 12.11.3 of Article 12 of the Declaration is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following new subparagraph 12.11.3:
FIRST AMENDMENT TO DECLARATION – Page 15

the land.”
38. Paragraph 13.2 of Article 13 of the Declaration is hereby amended by deleting it
in its entirety and replacing it with the following new paragraph 13.2:

the Subdivision, the provisions of this Declaration may be amended, modified,
clarified, supplemented, added to (collectively, ‘amendment’) or terminated by
Grantor by recordation of a written instrument setting forth such amendment or
termination.
13.2.2 By Owners. Except where a greater percentage is required by
express provisions of this Declaration or by law, the provisions of this
Declaration, other than this Article 13, may be amended prior to the organization
of the Association by an instrument in writing signed and acknowledged by the
Grantor and at least a majority of the other Owners. After the organization of th e
Association, this Declaration may be amended by an instrument in writing signed
and acknowledged by the Grantor, so long as the Grantor is an Owner of any
Building Lot, and the president and secretary of the Association certifying and
attesting that such amendment has been approved by the vote or written consent
of Owners representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes in the
Association. An amendment to this declaration properly adopted as set forth
above shall be effective upon its recordation with the Madison County, Idaho
Recorder. Any amendment to this Article 13 shall require the vote or written
consent of the Grantor, so long as the Grantor is an Owner of any Building Lot,
and Owners owning at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building Lots within
the Subdivision.
13.2.3 Effect of Amendment. Any amendment to this Declaration
approved in a manner specified above shall be binding on and effective as to all
Owners and their respective Building Lots notwithstanding that such Owners may
not have voted for or consented to such amendment. Such amendments may add
to and increase the covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements applicable
to the Property but shall not prohibit or unreasonably interfere with the allowed
uses of a Building Lot which existed prior to the amendment.”

to the Grantor so long as the Grantor owns at least one (1) Building Lot and, after
organized, the Association, as provided in this paragraph 13.3.”
40. Subparagraph 13.4.2 of Article 13 of the Declaration is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following new subparagraph 13.4.2:
“13.4.2 Violations and Nuisances. The failure of an Owner of a Building Lot to
comply with any provision hereof, or with any provision of the Articles, Bylaws
or Association Rules, is hereby declared a nuisance and will give rise to a cause of
action in the Grantor, the Association or any other Owner of a Building Lot for
recovery of damages, negative or affirmative injunctive relief, or both. However,
any other provision to the contrary notwithstanding, only Grantor, the
Association, the Board, or a duly authorized agent of any of them, may enforce by
self-help any of the provisions hereof and only if such self-help is preceded by
reasonable notice to the applicable Owner.”
41. Subparagraph 13.5.2 of Article 13 of the Declaration is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following new subparagraph 13.5.2:
“13.5.2 Restrictions Severable. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing
paragraph 13.5.1, each of the provisions of this Declaration shall be deemed
independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity of any provision
or portion thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision herein.”
42. The Declaration, as amended by this Amendment, shall continue in full force and
effect. Hereafter, any references to the “Declaration,” in the Declaration or this Amendment
shall mean the Declaration as amended by this Amendment, unless the context otherwise
requires.
43. This Amendment may be executed and acknowledged in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument .
The signature and acknowledgment pages may be detached from each counterpart and combined
into one instrument for recording in Madison County, Idaho.
