servant, or agent of the Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise ri the
defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section 8.01, or in defense of any
claim, issue, or matter therein, then to the extent that the Association has elected to
provide indemnification, it shall automatically be indemnified against expenses (including

PUBLIC OFFERING STATEMENT
FOR

1. The Declarant (Developer). Canyon Desert Homes, LLC, a Nevada limited

liability company (the "Declarani'), is engaged in the development of a planned community

near the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Grand Canyon Drive (the "Property"). The
Declarant's principal address is 4535 West Russell Road, Suite 1, Las Vegas, Nevada
89118.
2. The Community. The development of the Community is in its preliminary

stages. The chosen name for the Community is 'Montara." Construction on the Property
commenced on or about December 2003. The Community will consist of single-family
residential dwellings. The residential dwelling units themselves will vary in size and
configuration. There will be certain common elements (the Common Elements") in the
Community. Declarant anticipates that the Common Elements will include, without
limitation, private streets and landscaped areas.
3. Phased Development. It is anticipated that the Property will be developed

in phases, and all construction should be completed by the year 2006. The maximum total
number of residential Lots on the Propertywill be one hundred five (105). Declarant makes
no representation regarding the order in which the Lots will be developed or that they will
be developed. Development of the Property will be governed by one (1) or more final
maps (the 'Maps") and general plans which have been approved by governmental bodies.
The Maps have been or will be recorded in the Official Records of the Recorder of Clark
County, Nevada, and include, without limitation, the following:
Plat Book No. Plat Page No. Recording Date Official Records Book /

purchaser is acquiring a separate freehold estate, as separately shown, numbered and
designated on the Map.

purchaser is also a member of Montara Homeowners Association (the 'Association"), and
IIwMeIt.n%,a II5 07 MONTAkAbpi

Montara, recorded on August 24, 2004, in Book 20040824 as Instrument 01751 in the

within the Community is subject to the restrictions contained in the Declaration and any
Rules and Regulations now or hereafter promulgated by the Association thereunder.

that may be constructed or made within any part of the additional
property.

Declarant, each purchaser will be required to contribute to the capital
account of the Association the amount of one hundred ten dollars
($11000), which amount is not an advance payment of annual or
monthly assessments but represents an amount equal to one-sixth
(1/6) of the amount of the annual assessment levied by the
Association for the Lot being purchased.
b. Annual Assessment.
Each Lot Owner is responsible to pay an annual assessment for

ownership in the Community. The assessment will be determined on
an annual basis as set forth in the Declaration. The assessment wifi
be paid in one (1) or more installments at such frequency as the
Association's Board of Directors may from time to time determine in
its sole and absolute discretion, The initial annual assessment is

for the use of Common Elements and other facilities related to the
Community except for the annual assessment.

set forth in NRS 116.4113 and, to the fullest extent allowed bylaw, the Developer excludes
all implied warranties setforth in NRS 116.4114 and reserves to itselfany and all defenses

advertising the Community and individual Lots and such other special declarant's rights as
may be set forth in the Declaration.

reject any offer to purchase a Lot. This Public Offering Statement is not, and shall not be
construed to be, an offer by Declarant or any other person for the sale of a Lot.
15. Buyer Information.
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE PROPERTY IN A COMMON-INTEREST

COMMUNITY DID YOU KNOW:
1. YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESTRICTIONS ON HOW YOU CAN USE YOUR

PROPERTY? These restrictions are contained in a document known as the
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the CC&Rs") that should
be provided for your review before making your purchase. The CC&Rs become a
part of the title to your property. They bind you and every future owner of the
property whether or not you have read them or had them explained to you. The
CC&R's, together with other 'governing documents (such as association bylaws
and rules and regulations), are intended to preserve the character and value of
properties in the community, but may also restrict what you can do to improve or
change your property and limit how you use and enjoy your property. By purchasing
a property encumbered by CC&Rs, you are agreeing to limitations that could affect
your lifestyle and freedom of choice. You should review the CC&R's and other
governing documents before purchasing to make sure that these limitations and
controls are acceptable to you.
2. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY OWNERS ASSESSMENTS FOR AS LONG AS YOU

OWN YOUR PROPERTY? As an owner in a common-interest community, you are
responsible for paying your share of expenses relating to the Common Elements,
such as landscaping, shared amenities and the operation of any homeowner's
association. The obligation to pay these assessments binds you and every future
owner of the property. Owners' fees are usually assessed by the homeowner's
association and due monthly. You have to pay dues whether or not you agree with
the way the association is managing the property or spending the assessments.
The executive board of the association may have the power to change and increase
the amount of the assessment and to levy special assessments against your
propertyto meet extraordinary expenses. In some communities, major components
of the community such as roofs and private roads must be maintained and replaced
ws} pd
4
by the association. If the association is not well managed or fails to maintain
adequate reserves to repair, and replace and restore Common Elements, you may
be required to pay large, special assessments to accomplish these tasks.
3. IF YOU FAIL TO PAY OWNERS ASSESSMENTS, YOU COULD LOSE YOUR

HOME? If you do not pay these assessments when due, the association usually
has the power to collect them by selling your property in a nonjudicial foreclosure
sale. If fees become delinquent, you may also be required to pay penalties and the
association's costs and attorney's fees to become current. If you dispute the
obligation or its amount, your only remedy to avoid the loss of your home may be
to file a lawsuit and ask a court to intervene in the dispute.
4. YOU MAY BECOME A MEMBER OF A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION

THAT HAS THE POWER TO AFFECT HOW YOU USE AND ENJOY YOUR
PROPERTY? Many common-interest communities have a homeowner's
association. In a new development, the association will usually be controlled by the
developer until a certain number of units have been sold. After the period of
developer control, the association may be controlled by property owners like
yourself who are elected by homeowners to sit on an executive board and other
boards and committees formed by the association. The association! and its
executive board, are responsible for assessing homeowners for the cost of
operating the association and the common or shared elements of the community
and for the day to day operation and management of the community. Because
homeowners sifting on the executive board and other boards and committees of the
association may not have the experience or professional background required to
understand and carry out the responsibilities of the association properly, the
association may hire professional managers to carry out these responsibilities.
Homeowner's associations operate on democratic principles. Some decisions
require all homeowners to vote, some decisions are made by the executive board
or other boards or committees established by the association or governing
documents. Although the actions of the association and its executive board are
governed by state laws, the CC&Rs and other documents that govern the
common-interest community, decisions made by these persons will affect your use
and enjoyment of your property, your lifestyle and freedom of choice, and your cost
of living in the community. You may not agree with decisions made by the
association or its governing bodies even though the decisions are ones which the
association is authorized to make. Decisions may be made by a few persons on the
executive board or governing bodies that do not necessarily reflect the view of the
majority of homeowners in the community. If you do not agree with decisions made
by the association, its executive board or other governing bodies, your remedy is
typically to attempt to use the democratic processes of the association to seek the
election of members of the executive board or other governing bodies that are more
responsive to your needs, If persons controlling the association or its management
are not complying with state laws or the governing documents, your remedy is
typically to seek to mediate or arbitrate the dispute and, if mediation or arbitration
II .WMO\O 'Wd IMpdl7 MOl.rrAR*p.]bI. a pd 5

is unsuccessful, file a lawsuit and ask a court to resolve the dispute. In addition to
your personal cost in mediation or arbitration, or to prosecute a lawsuit, you may be
responsible for paying your share of the association's cost in defending againstyour
claim. There is no government agency in this state that investigates or intervenes
to resolve disputes in homeowner's associations.
5. You ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PROSPECTIVE BUYERS OF YOUR

PROPERTY WITH INFORMATION ABOUT LIVING IN YOUR
COMMON-INTEREST COMMUNITY? The law requires you to provide to a
prospective purchaser of your property, before you enter into a purchase
agreement, a copy of the community's governing documents, including the CC&Rs,
association bylaws, and rules and regulations, as well as a copy of this document.
You are also required to provide a copy of the association's current financial
statement, operating budget and information regarding the amount of the monthly
assessment for common expenses, including the amount set aside as reserves for
the repair, and replacement and restoration of Common Elements. You are also
required to inform prospective purchasers of any outstanding judgments or lawsuits
pending against the association of which you are aware. You are also required to
provide a copy of the minutes from the most recent meeting of the homeowner's
association or its executive board. For more information regarding these
requirements, see Nevada Revised Statutes 116.4103 and 116.4109.
6. YOU HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS REGARDING OWNERSHIP IN A

COMMON-INTEREST COMMUNITY THAT ARE GUARANTEED YOU BY THE
STATE? Pursuant to provisions of chapter 116 of Nevada Revised Statutes, you
have the right: (a) To be notified of all meetings of the association and its executive
board, except in cases of emergency. (b) To attend and speak at all meetings of
the association and its executive board, except in some cases where the executive
board is authorized to meet in closed, executive session. (c) To request a special
meeting of the association upon petition of at least 10 percent of the homeowners.
(d) To inspect, examine, photocopy and audit financial and other records of the
association. (e) To be notified of all changes in the community's rules and
regulations and other actions by the association or board that affect you.
7. QUESTIONS? Although they may be voluminous, you should take the time to
read and understand the documents that will control your ownership of a property
in a common-interest community. You may wish to ask your real estate
professional, lawyer or other person with experience to explain anything you do not
understand. You may also request assistance from the ombudsman for owners in
common-interest communities, Nevada Real Estate Division, at ((702) 486-4033).

paid in seft lement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding and undertake all costs of defense, until and unless it is proved

that the Person acted in good faith and in a manner that the Person reasonably believed
to be in ornotopposed to the best interests of theAssociation, and with respectto anycriminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful.

not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; or (U) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or

counsel in a written opinion; provided, however, that if a director, officer, employee, servant,
or agent of the Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsection 4.09(a), or in defense ofany claim,
issue, or matter therein, then to the extent that the Association has elected to provide

supplemental declaration filed by Declarant, the Architecture Committee shall review and
approve or disapprove all plans and specifications submitted to it for any proposed

H:S%SCI,D W,I M1 NTARACC&R7'pI 48

of up to one hundred dollars ($100) per day for each day after the applicable deadline that
such performance has not been completed, or such other amount as may be set forth in
a contract between the Owner and the Association or in a document related to the Development
that is recorded before the date on which the Owner acquirs title to the Lot. Each Owner
by acquiring title to any interest in a Lot thereby acknowledges thatthatthe damage to other
Owners and the Association from such failure shall be difficult to determine and that said
one hundred dollar($1 00) perday sum represents a reasonable estimation of said damages.
Any construction penaltyor sum so assessed shall be a special Assessment and continuing
lien against the applicable Owner and Lot enforceable in accordance with this Declaration
and theAct. The Association mayforeclose its lien by sale based on any construction penalty
imposed forfailure to adhere to a schedule required orestablished hereunder or pursuant
to this Section or the Act. If, after construction has commenced, the Association or the
Architecture Committeefinds that construction is not progressing continuously, as evidenced
by a cessation of laborfora period in excess of twenty (20) days, the Association may initiate
or re-initiate the accrual of the foregoing special Assessment against such Lot and its then-
Owner. The accrual of such special Assessment may be initiated regardless of whether
the deadlineforcompletion of construction orissuanceof an occupancy permit haspassed.
Such special Assessment shall continue to accrue until the Association or the Architecture
Committee finds that construction is again progressing in a diligent manner. For purposes
hereof, any construction penalty or special Assessment imposed or enforced pursuant to
this Section shall not be deemed to be a fine.
