These documents are declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions for two separate subdivisions in Missoula, MT: Linda Vista Estates (a single-family residential subdivision with some multi-family in Phase 5) and Miller Creek View Addition Phase I (a mixed single-family and multi-family subdivision). Both are governed by homeowners associations and impose rules on lot use, construction, and maintenance.
