COMMISSIONERS' COMMENT

1. Subsection (a) [Subsection A] requires the declarant to complete any improvement which the plats or plans indicate, pursuant to the requirements of § 2-109(c) [47-7B-9C NMSA 1978], "MUST BE BUILT." This is a fundamental obligation of the declarant and is one with which a successor declarant is obligated to comply under § 3-104 [47-7C-4 NMSA 1978].

2. Under subsection (b) [Subsection B], in the event that a declarant exercises the right to use an easement which is created by § 2-116 [47-7B-16 NMSA 1978], or in the event the declarant maintains model units or signs on the condominium, the declarant is obligated to restore the portions of the condominiums used to a condition compatible with the remainder of the condominium.
