rights, labeled to identify the rights applicable to each parcel;
(d)The extent of any encroachments by or upon any portion of the condominium;
(e)The location, with reference to an established datum, of any horizontal unit
boundaries not shown or projected on plans recorded pursuant to subsection
(4)of this section and that unit's identifying number;

unit located outside of a building have the same elevation as the horizontal
boundaries of the inside part, and need not be depicted on the plats and plans.
(6)Upon exercising any development right, the declarant shall record either new plats
and plans necessary to conform to the requirements of subsections (1), (2), and
of this section, or new certifications of plats and plans previously recorded if those
plats and plans otherwise conform to the requirements of subsections (1), (2), and
(4)of this section.
