Project Description
The proposed acquisition of Parcel 23 will facilitate improvements for the proposed widening of Ryan
Road from Teasley Lane to Country Club Road. The anticipated addition of a center turn lane would
allow for an improved flow of traffic as motorists making left hand turns off Ryan Road will have the
ability to move out of a moving lane prior to turning. The expected impact is a decrease in congestion
along Ryan Road, particularly during peak traffic. The project will include two 12-feet wide travel lanes
with a full length 11-feet wide center turn lane, new street lighting, a five-foot wide sidewalk path on
the south side of Ryan Road, and drainage ditches on both sides.

Parcel 23
Scope of Work
Introduction
The appraisal development and reporting processes require gathering and analyzing information
about the assignment elements necessary to properly identify the appraisal problem. The scope of
work decision includes the research and analyses necessary to develop credible assignment results,
given the intended use of the appraisal. Sufficient information includes disclosure of research and
analyses performed and might also include disclosure of research and analyses not performed.
To determine the appropriate scope of work for the assignment, the intended use of the appraisal, the
needs of the user, the complexity of the property, and other pertinent factors were considered. The
concluded scope of work is described below.
Research and Analysis
The type and extent of the research and analysis conducted are detailed in individual sections of the
report. The steps taken to verify comparable data are disclosed in the addenda of this report.
Although effort has been made to confirm the arms-length nature of each sale with a party to the
transaction, it is sometimes necessary to rely on secondary verification from sources deemed reliable.
Subject Property Data Sources
The legal and physical features of the subject property, including size of the site, flood plain data,
seismic zone designation, property zoning, existing easements and encumbrances, access and
exposure, and condition of the improvements (as applicable) were confirmed and analyzed.

Valuation Methodology
Three approaches to value are typically considered when developing a market value opinion for real
property. These are the cost approach, the sales comparison approach, and the income capitalization
approach. Use of the approaches in this assignment is summarized as follows:
Scope of Work 6
Parcel 23
Approaches to Value
Approach Applicability to Subject Use in Assignment
Cost Approach Applicable Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach Applicable Utilized
Income Capitalization Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
The cost approach is the most reliable valuation method for the subject due to the following:
• There is sufficient data to develop reliable estimates of land value and replacement cost of the
improvements.
• This approach is typically most relevant for properties for which sales and rental data is
limited.
The sales comparison approach is an applicable valuation method because:
• There is an active market for similar properties, and sufficient sales data is available for
analysis.
The income capitalization approach is not applicable to the assignment considering the following:
• This approach does not reflect the primary analysis undertaken by a typical purchaser.

Approximately 76,942 square feet are located within the Flood Way (81%) and 11,569 square feet are
located within Flood Zone AE (12%). Floodway areas typically cannot be developed without map
revisions issued by FEMA and the floodway impacts the development potential of the property.
However, there is sufficient area in the northeastern corner to construct residential improvements.
We are not experts in the interpretation of zoning ordinances. An appropriately qualified land use
attorney should be engaged if a determination of compliance with zoning is required.
Easements, Encroachments and Restrictions
A current title report was not provided for review. It is noted there appear to be building lines
established in the plat referenced in the most recent deed for the subject, but a complete copy of
deed restrictions was not available. The subject is encumbered with a drainage easement that
encompasses 81% of the western portion of the subject. There are no apparent easements,
encroachments, or restrictions that would adversely affect value. This valuation assumes no adverse
impacts from easements, encroachments, or restrictions, and further assumes that the subject has
clear and marketable title.
Conclusion of Site Analysis
Overall, the physical characteristics limit development to only the northeastern corner of the subject but there is enough area for a single-family residence. Uses permitted by zoning include residential
uses. No other restrictions on development are apparent.

Real Estate Taxes
The subject is located in Denton County and assessed by the Denton County Appraisal District. Real
estate taxes in this state and this jurisdiction represent ad valorem taxes, meaning a tax applied in
proportion to value. The real estate taxes for an individual property may be determined by dividing
the assessed value for a property by $100, then multiplying the estimate by the composite rate. The
composite rate is based on a consistent state tax rate throughout the state, in addition to one or more
local taxing district rates. Real estate taxes and assessments for the current tax year are shown in the
following table.

Highest and Best Use 32
Parcel 23
Highest and Best Use
The highest and best use of a property is the reasonably probable use resulting in the highest value,
and represents the use of an asset that maximizes its productivity.
Process
Before a property can be valued, an opinion of highest and best use must be developed for the subject
site, both as though vacant, and as improved or proposed. By definition, the highest and best use
must be:
• Physically possible.
• Legally permissible under the zoning regulations and other restrictions that apply to the site.
• Financially feasible.
• Maximally productive, i.e., capable of producing the highest value from among the
permissible, possible, and financially feasible uses.
As Though Vacant
First, the property is evaluated as though vacant, with no improvements.
Physically Possible
The site is 2.1800 acres or 94,961 square feet of land located in the city of Denton within Denton
County. The site is rectangular in shape and rolling. The subject is located within Flood Zone AE. The
physical characteristics of the site appear to limit development to the northeast corner of the
property. Overall, the physical characteristics of the site and the availability of utilities result in limited
utility for the flood area, functional utility for area outside flood, overall sufficient utility for residential
use.
Legally Permissible
The site is zoned R2, Residential. Permitted uses include single-family detached dwellings,
townhomes, and duplexes. There are no known apparent legal restrictions, such as easements or deed
restrictions, effectively limiting the use of the property. Given prevailing land use patterns in the area,
only residential use is given further consideration in determining highest and best use of the site, as
though vacant.
Financially Feasible
Based on the accompanying analysis of the market, there is currently adequate demand for residential
use in the subject’s area. It appears a newly developed residential use on the site would have a value
commensurate with its cost. Therefore, residential use is considered to be financially feasible.
Maximally Productive
There does not appear to be any reasonably probable use of the site that would generate a higher
residual land value than residential use. Accordingly, residential use, developed to the normal market
density level permitted by zoning, is the maximally productive use of the property.
Highest and Best Use 33
Parcel 23
Conclusion
Development of the site for residential use is the only use which meets the four tests of highest and
best use. Therefore, it is concluded to be the highest and best use of the property as though vacant.
As Improved
The primary improvements are far removed from and unaffected by the proposed acquisition.
Therefore, only the underlying land value and impacted site improvements are considered in this
analysis. As such, the subject is appraised as vacant land and therefore a Highest and Best Use “As
Improved” is not necessary.
Most Probable Buyer
Taking into account the size and characteristics of the property, the likely buyer is an owner-user.
Valuation Methodology 34
Parcel 23
Valuation
Valuation Methodology
Appraisers usually consider three approaches to estimating the market value of real property. These
are the cost approach, sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach.
The cost approach assumes that the informed purchaser would pay no more than the cost of
producing a substitute property with the same utility. This approach is particularly applicable when
the improvements being appraised are relatively new and represent the highest and best use of the
land or when the property has unique or specialized improvements for which there is little or no sales
data from comparable properties.
The sales comparison approach assumes that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a
property than the cost of acquiring another existing property with the same utility. This approach is
especially appropriate when an active market provides sufficient reliable data. The sales comparison
approach is less reliable in an inactive market or when estimating the value of properties for which no
directly comparable sales data is available. The sales comparison approach is often relied upon for
owner-user properties.
The income capitalization approach reflects the market’s perception of a relationship between a
property’s potential income and its market value. This approach converts the anticipated net income
from ownership of a property into a value indication through capitalization. The primary methods are
direct capitalization and discounted cash flow analysis, with one or both methods applied, as
appropriate. This approach is widely used in appraising income-producing properties.
Reconciliation of the various indications into a conclusion of value is based on an evaluation of the
quantity and quality of available data in each approach and the applicability of each approach to the
property type.
The methodology employed in this assignment is summarized as follows:
Approaches to Value
Approach Applicability to Subject Use in Assignment
Cost Approach Applicable Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach Applicable Utilized
Income Capitalization Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach 35
Parcel 23
Sales Comparison Approach
To develop an opinion of the subject’s land value, as if vacant and available to be developed to its
highest and best use, we utilize the sales comparison approach. This approach develops an indication
of value by researching, verifying, and analyzing sales of similar properties.
To apply the sales comparison approach, we searched for sale transactions within the following
parameters:
• Location: Denton County
• Size: 0.5 acres to 5.0 acres
• Use: Vacant residential land
• Transaction Date: January 2023 to May 2025
For this analysis, we use price per square foot as the appropriate unit of comparison because market
participants typically compare sale prices and property values on this basis. The most relevant sales
are summarized in the following table.

Analysis and Adjustment of Sales
Adjustments are based on a rating of each comparable sale in relation to the subject. The adjustment
process is typically applied through either quantitative or qualitative analysis, or a combination of
both analyses. Quantitative adjustments are often developed as dollar or percentage amounts, and
are most credible when there is sufficient data to perform a paired sales analysis.
While percentage adjustments are presented in the adjustment grid, they are based on qualitative
judgment rather than empirical research, as there is not sufficient data to develop a sound
quantitative estimate. Although the adjustments appear to be mathematically precise, they are
merely intended to illustrate an opinion of typical market activity and perception. With the exception
of market conditions, the adjustments are based on a scale, with a minor adjustment in the range of 1-
5% and a substantial adjustment considered to be 20% or greater.
The rating of each comparable sale in relation to the subject is the basis for the adjustments. If the
comparable is superior to the subject, its sale price is adjusted downward to reflect the subject’s
relative attributes; if the comparable is inferior, its price is adjusted upward.
Transactional adjustments are applied for property rights conveyed, financing, conditions of sale,
expenditures made immediately after purchase, and market conditions. In addition, property
adjustments include – but are not limited to – location, access/exposure, size, quality, effective age,
economic and legal characteristics, and non-realty components of value. Adjustments are considered
for the following factors, in the sequence shown below.
Transactional Adjustments
Real Property Rights Conveyed
The opinion of value in this report is based on a fee simple estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat, as well
as non-detrimental easements, community facility districts, and conditions, covenants and restrictions
(CC&Rs). All the comparables represent fee simple estate transactions. Therefore, adjustments for
property rights are not necessary.
Financing Terms
In analyzing the comparables, it is necessary to adjust for financing terms that differ from market
terms. Typically, if the buyer retained third-party financing (other than the seller) for the purpose of
purchasing the property, a cash price is presumed and no adjustment is required. However, in
instances where the seller provides financing as a debt instrument, a premium may have been paid by
the buyer for below-market financing terms, or a discount may have been demanded by the buyer if
the financing terms were above market. The premium or discounted price must then be adjusted to a
cash equivalent basis. The comparable sales represented cash-to-seller transactions and, therefore, do
not require adjustment.
Conditions of Sale
Adverse conditions of sale can account for a significant discrepancy from the sale price actually paid,
compared to that of the market. This discrepancy in price is generally attributed to the motivations of
Sales Comparison Approach 40
Parcel 23
the buyer and the seller. Certain conditions of sale are considered non-market and may include the
following:
• a seller acting under duress (e.g., eminent domain, foreclosure);
• buyer motivation (e.g., premium paid for assemblage, certain 1031 exchanges);
• a lack of exposure to the open market;
• an unusual tax consideration;
• a sale at legal auction.
None of the comparable sales had atypical or unusual conditions of sale. Thus, adjustments are not
necessary.
Expenditures Made Immediately After Purchase
This category considers expenditures incurred immediately after the purchase of a property. There
were no issues of deferred maintenance reported for any of the properties. No adjustments are
required for expenditures after sale.
Market Conditions
A market conditions adjustment is applied when market conditions at the time of sale differ from
market conditions as of the effective date of value. Adjustments can be positive when prices are rising,
or negative when markets are challenged by factors such as a deterioration of the economy or adverse
changes in supply and/or demand in the market area. Consideration must also be given to when the
property was placed under contract, versus when the sale actually closed.
In evaluating market conditions, changes between the comparable sale date and the effective date of
this appraisal may warrant adjustment; however, if market conditions have not changed, then no
adjustment is required.
The sales took place from March 2023 to August 2024. Market conditions have generally been
strengthening. The adjustment grid accounts for this trend with upward adjustments over this period
through the effective date of value.
Property Adjustments
Location
Factors considered in evaluating location include, but are not limited to, demographics, growth rates,
surrounding uses and property values.
Sales 1 and 4 are similar to the subject. No adjustments are necessary. Sales 2 and 3 adjusted
downward for superior location at the end of a cul-de-sac. Sale 5 is adjusted upward for inferior
surrounding development.
Access/Exposure
Convenience to transportation facilities, ease of site access, and overall visibility of a property can
have a direct impact on property value. High visibility, however, may not translate into higher value if
it is not accompanied by good access. In general, high visibility and convenient access, including
Sales Comparison Approach 41
Parcel 23
proximity to major linkages, are considered positive amenities when compared to properties with
inferior attributes.
All of the comparables are similar to the subject. No adjustments are necessary.
Size
Due to economies of scale, the market exhibits an inverse relationship between land area and price
per square foot, such that larger sites generally sell for a lower price per square foot than smaller lots,
all else being equal. To account for this relationship, applicable adjustments are applied for
differences in land area. The comparables that are larger than the subject are adjusted upward, and
vice versa.
Sales 3 and 5 are smaller than the subject, and downward adjustments are applied. Sales 1, 2 and 4
are larger than the subject and require upward adjustments.
Shape and Topography
This category accounts for the shape of the site influencing its overall utility and/or development
potential, as well as the grade of the land.
All of the comparables are similar to the subject. No adjustments are necessary.
Zoning
This element of comparison accounts for government regulations that can affect the types and
intensities of uses allowable on a site. Moreover, this category includes considerations such as
allowable density or floor area ratio, structure height, setbacks, parking requirements, landscaping,
and other development standards. The subject has a zoning designation of R2 - Residential.
Sales 3 and 4 are similar to the subject and require no adjustment. Sales 1 and 2 are have superior
zoning which allows for smaller lots and higher density. Downward adjustments are applied. Sale 5 is
inferior to the subject. An upward adjustment is applied.
Flood Plain
This element of comparison accounts for the amount of a site encumbered by flood plain and how it
can affect the development potential.
All of the comparables are superior to the subject. Downward adjustments are applied.
Adjustments Summary
The sales are compared to the subject and adjusted to account for material differences that affect
value. The following table summarizes the adjustments applied to each sale.

<Depreciation>
Whole:Part to be Acquired: Remainder After:
The steps taken to apply the cost approach are:
• Develop an opinion of the value of the land as though vacant and available to be developed to
its highest and best use, as of the effective date of the appraisal;
• Estimate the replacement cost new of the existing improvements under current market
conditions;
• Estimate depreciation from all causes and deduct this estimate from replacement cost new to
arrive at depreciated replacement cost of the improvements; and
• Add land value to the depreciated replacement cost of the improvements to arrive at a market
value indication for the property overall.
Replacement Cost
Replacement cost is the estimated cost to construct, at current prices as of a specified date, a substitute
for a building or other improvement, using modern materials and current standards, design, and layout.
Estimates of replacement cost for the purpose of developing a market value opinion include three
components: direct costs, indirect costs (also known as soft costs) and entrepreneurial incentive.
Direct Costs
Direct costs are expenditures for labor, materials, equipment and contractor’s overhead and profit.
Marshall Valuation Service (MVS) and contractor quotes is used as the basis of the direct cost estimate.
In addition to direct costs, MVS includes certain indirect costs such as architectural and engineering
fees, and interest on building loan funds during construction. Typically, contractor quotes include all
indirect costs as well. The following table shows the source for each cost component included in this
valuation.
Cost Approach 45
Parcel 23
Replacement Cost New Sources
Improvement Cost New Source
Wood Fencing Phillip's Fences
Pedestrian Bridge Marshall Valuation Service / Section 67 / Page 1
Indirect Costs
MVS does not include all of the indirect costs that are appropriate in a replacement cost estimate.
Therefore, an allowance is added for the following indirect costs that are not contained within MVS:
taxes and carrying costs on land during construction; legal and accounting fees; and marketing and
finance costs prior to stabilization. Unless specifically noted, contractor quotes include indirect costs. It
is estimated that a 10% allowance for additional indirect costs is appropriate.
Entrepreneurial Incentive
Entrepreneurial incentive is the financial reward that a developer would expect to receive in addition
to recovering all direct and indirect costs. This is the expected compensation that would be necessary
to motivate a developer to undertake the project. Entrepreneurial incentive for similar properties
typically ranges from 10% to 20%. An estimate of 15% is applied to the total replacement costs used in
this analysis.
Depreciation
Depreciation is the difference between the replacement cost new of the improvements and their
contribution to overall property value on the effective date of the appraisal. There are three major
causes of depreciation:
1. Physical deterioration: The loss in value due to the wear and tear that begins when a building is
completed and placed into service. Physical deterioration can be curable (referred to as
deferred maintenance) or incurable.
2. Functional obsolescence: The loss in value due to changes in market tastes and standards.
Similar to physical deterioration, functional obsolescence can be curable or incurable.
3. External obsolescence: The loss in value due to negative external influences. These influences
can be temporary or permanent, and are generally incurable by the owner, landlord, or tenant.
There are three principal methods of estimating depreciation: the market extraction method, the
economic age-life method, and the breakdown method. The economic age-life method is used in this
analysis.
Economic Age-Life Method
In the economic age-life method, depreciation is estimated by dividing the effective age of the
improvements by the total economic life. This method results in a lump sum estimate for all
depreciation, including the loss in value from all physical, functional and external obsolescence.
Final Estimate of Depreciation
Estimates of depreciation for each component are shown in the following table.
Cost Approach 46
Parcel 23
Improvement Depreciation Estimates
Improvement Effective Age Economic Life % Depreciated
Wood Fencing 7 /20 =35%
Pedestrian Bridge 7 /20 =35%
Depreciation is estimated based on the actual age of the improvements as well as their observed quality
and condition during the inspection. The economic life for the improvements is estimated based on
observed economic lives for similar properties as well as information from the Marshall Valuation
Service.

Reconciliation and Conclusion of Value – Whole Property 47

Reconciliation and Conclusion of Value – Whole Property
Reconciliation is the process of analyzing the relevance of the indicated values, resulting in a final value
estimate. In each of the two approaches, the appraisers have documented all of the input data and
briefly explained the methodology in processing and/or analyzing this data. Insofar as the appraisers
were able to determine, the data furnished is from reliable sources and has been accepted as being
accurate.
The Cost Approach assumes that an informed purchaser would pay no more than the cost of producing
a substitute property with the same utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the
improvements are relatively new and represent the highest and best use of the land, or when the
property has unique or specialized improvements for which there are few or no sales or rentals of
comparable properties.
The Sales Comparison Approach is a comparison of known market transactions of similar properties.
When sufficient information is available in order to make a unit comparison, a supportable indication
of value can be obtained. The underlying economic factor in this approach is the Principle of
Substitution, which states that a prudent purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost of
acquiring an equally desirable substitute property. This approach to value is most applicable when a
sufficient number of comparable sales are available.
The Income Capitalization Approach reflects the market’s perception of a relationship between a
property’s potential income and its market value, a relationship expressed as a capitalization rate. Direct
income capitalization is a method of converting a single year’s estimate of net operating income into an
indicated present value. This approach converts the anticipated benefits to be derived from the
ownership of property into a value indication through capitalization.
Applicability of Valuation Approaches
The cost approach is the most reliable valuation method for the subject due to the following:
• There is sufficient data to develop reliable estimates of land value and replacement cost of the
improvements.
• This approach is typically most relevant for properties for which sales and rental data is
limited.
The sales comparison approach is an applicable valuation method because:
• A sufficient amount of relevant sales data is available for analysis.
• This approach directly considers the prices of alternative properties having similar utility.
• This approach is typically most relevant for owner-user properties.
The income capitalization approach is not applicable to the assignment considering the following:
• There is not an active rental market for similar properties that would permit us to develop a
reliable estimate of the property’s income generating potential.
Reconciliation and Conclusion of Value – Whole Property 48
Parcel 23
The cost approach is given the greatest weight because it is the most reliable valuation method for the
subject. The sales comparison approach is given less weight due to the limited availability of relevant
market data. The income approach is not applicable to the subject and is not used. Accordingly, our
value opinion follows.
The value indications via each applicable approach and the final reconciliation of value for the whole

Parcel 23
Part Acquired
The following portion of the appraisal process deals directly with the valuation of the subject part
acquired. The part acquired is the portion of the subject that is acquired by eminent domain from the
whole property. The valuation of the part acquired is predicated on the market value of the property
prior to any acquisition and excludes the influence of the subject project.
Partial Acquisition Description
The easement is an area of 0.151 acres or 6,557 square feet of land along the southern boundary of
the subject site. The easement has a maximum depth of ±54 feet and width of ±121 feet. The subject
is improved with a single-family residence which is far removed and unaffected. The site
improvements located within the part acquired include 122 lineal feet of wood fencing and 1
pedestrian bridge over the drainage creek.
This shape and size is based on our review of the field notes and sketch for the proposed easement
acquisition. These sizes will be utilized in the calculations herein and are considered to be accurate.
An aerial exhibit and survey of the Part Acquired follows.

Highest and Best Use – Part Acquired 52
Parcel 23
Economic Unit
The acquisition is not an appropriate configuration to be considered an economic unit on its own;
therefore, it is appraised as if used in conjunction with the remainder to form an economic unit that
yields the highest net return to the land. In order to take full advantage of the physical characteristics
of the subject property, the part to be acquired is used in conjunction with the Remainder After (the
size of the Whole Property). The economic unit meets all the tests of highest and best use of the
subject property as discussed below.
Highest and Best Use – Part Acquired
Highest and best use may be defined as that reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or
improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, and financially feasible that
results in the highest value. The four tests to develop adequate support for an opinion of highest and
best use, applied in order, are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum
productivity.
As Vacant Analysis – Part Acquired
Due to its limited size, the area of the partial acquisition could not stand alone as a separate and
independent economic unit. The partial acquisition’s use is essentially limited to use in conjunction with
the whole property. As such, the highest and best use of the part acquired, as vacant, is for use in
conjunction with the subject whole property.
As Improved Analysis – Part Acquired
The highest and best use of the part acquired, as improved, is the same as that of the subject whole
property.
Valuation Methodology
In this instance, the subject part acquired consists of land and site improvements. As an integral part of
the whole property, the part acquired shares the same physical and economic characteristics. Because
the highest and best use of the part acquired is for use in conjunction with the subject whole property,
the part acquired shares the same per unit land value concluded in the valuation of the subject whole
property and applied in the valuation of the part acquired. The calculation of the value of the part
acquired is summarized in the following reconciliation discussion.
Land Value - Part Acquired
Since the economic unit analyzed to derive a value estimate for the Part Acquired is the same size as
the subject Whole Property, the same set of land sales are utilized in estimating the value of the Part
Acquired as were used in the analysis of the Whole Property. Therefore, the value of the Part
Acquired is estimated at $4.00 per square foot.
Since the subject acquisition is an easement and not a fee simple acquisition, a percentage of the fee
simple interest will remain with the property owner after the acquisition.
Easement Valuation Matrix
As noted, the part to be acquired contains fee acquisitions and easement areas. The following chart
(Right of Way Magazine, “Easement Valuation”, Sherwood, May 2006) outlines a very basic analysis of
Valuation Methodology 53
Parcel 23
typical easement encumbrances. It can be used as a generic guide to analyze the extent of ownership
the fee owner loses as a result of the encumbrance brought about by an easement.
The subject Part Acquired is a proposed drainage easement. Therefore, a reasonable percentage of
the fee value attributable to the easement is 75% to 90%, leaving 25% to 10% of the fee value with the
property owner. In this case, 90% of the fee value has been attributed to the easement.
The combined Part Acquired contains a total of 0.151 acres or 6,557 square feet. Therefore, the
easement land value of the Part Acquired is estimated at $27,563.

The part acquired was valued as an integral component of the whole property. The value is based on its
pro rata contribution to the whole. The site improvements located within the part acquired include 122
lineal feet of wood fencing and 1 pedestrian bridge over the drainage creek and have a value of $5,008.
As previously mentioned, the per unit value for the land and improvements (if applicable) were
previously calculated in the valuation of the whole property and are applied in the valuation of the part
acquired as follows.

Value of the Remainder Before $356,239
Analysis of the Remainder After
The value of the Remainder After is appraised independently and takes into consideration the effect
the subject acquisition has on the remainder. This estimate is based upon a new site analysis, highest
and best use analysis, as well as the employment of the three approaches to value, where applicable.
Damages or enhancements to the remainder are calculated by subtracting the value of the Remainder
After from the value of the Remainder Before the acquisition. If the calculation is positive, damages
exist. However, if the figure is negative enhancements are present. If an enhancement exists, it is
noted; however, enhancements are not deducted from the total compensation.
Property Description - Remainder After
The proposed acquisition extends approximately ±121 feet along the subject’s southern boundary
with a ±54 feet depth. The acquisition does not alter the development utility of the site nor does it
restrict access to the site. It is noted that continued use of the existing improvements will not be
affected. As such, the utility and development potential of the Remainder is the same as the before.
Highest and Best Use - Remainder After – As If Vacant
Since the Remainder After is an economic unit similar to the Whole Property, the highest and best use
of the Remainder After and the subject Whole Property is the same.

Cost to Cure 55
Parcel 23
Cost to Cure
The value conclusion in the part acquired included an estimate of compensation due to the property
owner(s) for the value of the improvements within the acquisition parcel. However, replacement
improvements must be purchased and replaced using new construction components.
The cost to cure is an estimate of additional financial compensation to restore the property to similar
functional utility as exists prior to the acquisition. In order to avoid double compensation, the cost to
cure is calculated as the difference between the replacement cost new and the previously estimated
depreciated replacement cost of each individual component. The formula is as follows:
Replacement Cost New – Depreciated Replacement Cost in Part Acquired = Cost to Cure
This formula is applied to each of the components identified that require reconfiguration or
replacement as a result of the acquisition. If the estimated value of the component included in the part
acquired is higher than the cost to replace the component, then no further compensation is due for that
component and the cost to cure is equal to $0 for that item. The dollar amounts are not deducted
against a cumulative total, but rather calculated on an item-by-item basis.
The following is a summary of our cost to cure estimate.

Exposure Time
Exposure time is the length of time the subject property would have been exposed for sale in the
market had it sold on the effective valuation date at the concluded market value. Exposure time is
always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. Based on our review of recent sales
transactions for similar properties and our analysis of supply and demand in the local market, it is our
opinion that the probable exposure time for the subject at the concluded market values stated
previously is 6-12 months.
Marketing Time
Marketing time is an estimate of the amount of time it might take to sell a property at the concluded
market value immediately following the effective date of value. As we foresee no significant changes
in market conditions in the near term, it is our opinion that a reasonable marketing period for the
subject is likely to be the same as the exposure time. Accordingly, we estimate the subject’s marketing
period at 6-12 months.

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions
This appraisal and any other work product related to this engagement are limited by the following
standard assumptions, except as otherwise noted in the report:
1. The title is marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, encroachments,
easements and restrictions. The property is under responsible ownership and competent
management and is available for its highest and best use.
2. There are no existing judgments or pending or threatened litigation that could affect the value
of the property.
3. There are no hidden or undisclosed conditions of the land or of the improvements that would
render the property more or less valuable. Furthermore, there is no asbestos in the property.
4. The property is in compliance with all applicable building, environmental, zoning, and other
federal, state and local laws, regulations and codes.
5. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, but no warranty is given for its
accuracy.
This appraisal and any other work product related to this engagement are subject to the following
limiting conditions, except as otherwise noted in the report:
1. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents our opinion as to the value of the
property appraised.
2. The conclusions stated in our appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the appraisal, and
no representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events.
3. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including, without
limitation, the Internal Revenue Code) are anticipated.
4. No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction with this
appraisal, and we reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value opinions based upon
any subsequent environmental impact studies. If any environmental impact statement is
required by law, the appraisal assumes that such statement will be favorable and will be
approved by the appropriate regulatory bodies.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we are not required to give testimony, respond to any
subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with reference to the property
without compensation relative to such additional employment.
6. We have made no survey of the property and assume no responsibility in connection with
such matters. Any sketch or survey of the property included in this report is for illustrative
purposes only and should not be considered to be scaled accurately for size. The appraisal
covers the property as described in this report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are
assumed to be correct.
Valuation 60
Parcel 23
7. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights, if any, and we
have assumed that the property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal
of such materials, unless otherwise noted in our appraisal.
8. We accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields. Such
considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other legal matters such
as legal title, geologic considerations such as soils and seismic stability; and civil, mechanical,
electrical, structural and other engineering and environmental matters. Such considerations
may also include determinations of compliance with zoning and other federal, state, and local
laws, regulations and codes.
9. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and improvements applies
only under the reported highest and best use of the property. The allocations of value for land
and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if
so used. The appraisal report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal
report shall be utilized separately or out of context.
10. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value,
the identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute) shall be
disseminated through advertising media, public relations media, news media or any other
means of communication (including without limitation prospectuses, private offering
memoranda and other offering material provided to prospective investors) without the prior
written consent of the persons signing the report.
11. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report and obtained from third-party
sources are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified.
12. Any income and expense estimates contained in the appraisal report are used only for the
purpose of estimating value and do not constitute predictions of future operating results.
13. If the property is subject to one or more leases, any estimate of residual value contained in
the appraisal may be particularly affected by significant changes in the condition of the
economy, of the real estate industry, or of the appraised property at the time these leases
expire or otherwise terminate.
14. Unless otherwise stated in the report, no consideration has been given to personal property
located on the premises or to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property; only
the real property has been considered.
15. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the values stated in the appraisal;
we have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will occur.
16. The values found herein are subject to these and to any other assumptions or conditions set
forth in the body of this report but which may have been omitted from this list of Assumptions
and Limiting Conditions.
17. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates and
assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and economic
conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive environment and other
matters. Some estimates or assumptions, however, inevitably will not materialize, and
unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual results achieved during
Valuation 61
Parcel 23
the period covered by our analysis will vary from our estimates, and the variations may be
material.
18. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not
made a specific survey or analysis of the property to determine whether the physical aspects
of the improvements meet the ADA accessibility guidelines. We claim no expertise in ADA
issues, and render no opinion regarding compliance of the subject with ADA regulations.
Inasmuch as compliance matches each owner’s financial ability with the cost to cure the non-
conforming physical characteristics of a property, a specific study of both the owner’s financial
ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the Department of Justice to
determine compliance.
19. The appraisal report is prepared for the exclusive benefit of you, your subsidiaries and/or
affiliates. It may not be used or relied upon by any other party. All parties who use or rely
upon any information in the report without our written consent do so at their own risk.
20. No studies have been provided to us indicating the presence or absence of hazardous
materials on the subject property or in the improvements, and our valuation is predicated
upon the assumption that the subject property is free and clear of any environment hazards
including, without limitation, hazardous wastes, toxic substances and mold. No
representations or warranties are made regarding the environmental condition of the subject
property. IRR - Fort Worth , Integra Realty Resources, Inc., and their respective officers,
owners, managers, directors, agents, subcontractors or employees (the “Integra Parties”),
shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist or for any
engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist.
Because we are not experts in the field of environmental conditions, the appraisal report
cannot be considered as an environmental assessment of the subject property.
21. The persons signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may have noted
in the appraisal report whether the subject property is located in an identified Special Flood
Hazard Area. However, we are not qualified to detect such areas and therefore do not
guarantee such determinations. The presence of flood plain areas and/or wetlands may affect
the value of the property, and the value conclusion is predicated on the assumption that
wetlands are non-existent or minimal.
22. We are not a building or environmental inspector. The Integra Parties do not guarantee that
the subject property is free of defects or environmental problems. Mold may be present in the
subject property and a professional inspection is recommended.
23. The appraisal report and value conclusions for an appraisal assume the satisfactory
completion of construction, repairs or alterations in a workmanlike manner.
24. IRR - Fort Worth is an independently owned and operated company. The parties hereto
agree that Integra shall not be liable for any claim arising out of or relating to any appraisal
report or any information or opinions contained therein as such appraisal report is the sole
and exclusive responsibility of IRR - Fort Worth . In addition, it is expressly agreed that in
any action which may be brought against the Integra Parties arising out of, relating to, or in any way pertaining to the engagement letter, the appraisal reports or any related work
product, the Integra Parties shall not be responsible or liable for any incidental or
Valuation 62
Parcel 23
consequential damages or losses, unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with
intentional misconduct. It is further expressly agreed that the collective liability of the
Integra Parties in any such action shall not exceed the fees paid for the preparation of the
assignment (unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with intentional misconduct).
It is expressly agreed that the fees charged herein are in reliance upon the foregoing
limitations of liability.
25. IRR - Fort Worth is an independently owned and operated company, which has prepared the
appraisal for the specific intended use stated elsewhere in the report. The use of the appraisal
report by anyone other than the Client is prohibited except as otherwise provided.
Accordingly, the appraisal report is addressed to and shall be solely for the Client’s use and
benefit unless we provide our prior written consent. We expressly reserve the unrestricted
right to withhold our consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report or any other work
product related to the engagement (or any part thereof including, without limitation,
conclusions of value and our identity), to any third parties. Stated again for clarification, unless
our prior written consent is obtained, no third party may rely on the appraisal report (even if
their reliance was foreseeable).
26. The conclusions of this report are estimates based on known current trends and reasonably
foreseeable future occurrences. These estimates are based partly on property information,
data obtained in public records, interviews, existing trends, buyer-seller decision criteria in the
current market, and research conducted by third parties, and such data are not always
completely reliable. The Integra Parties are not responsible for these and other future
occurrences that could not have reasonably been foreseen on the effective date of this
assignment. Furthermore, it is inevitable that some assumptions will not materialize and that
unanticipated events may occur that will likely affect actual performance. While we are of the
opinion that our findings are reasonable based on current market conditions, we do not
represent that these estimates will actually be achieved, as they are subject to considerable
risk and uncertainty. Moreover, we assume competent and effective management and
marketing for the duration of the projected holding period of this property.
27. All prospective value opinions presented in this report are estimates and forecasts which are
prospective in nature and are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. In addition to the
contingencies noted in the preceding paragraph, several events may occur that could
substantially alter the outcome of our estimates such as, but not limited to changes in the
economy, interest rates, and capitalization rates, behavior of consumers, investors and
lenders, fire and other physical destruction, changes in title or conveyances of easements and
deed restrictions, etc. It is assumed that conditions reasonably foreseeable at the present
time are consistent or similar with the future.
28. The appraisal is also subject to the following:
Valuation 63
Parcel 23
Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
1.All information relative to the subject property, including land areas and other pertinent data that was provided
by the client and public records, is assumed to be correct.
2.It is assumed that there are no environmental issues that impact the use or value of the subject property.
3.The subject is appraised under the extraordinary assumption that the "build to lines" established by plat in the
before are unchanged by the acquisition and the subject's existing improvements will not require any
reconfiguration as a result.
4.The subject is appraised under the extraordinary assumption that there are no subsurface improvements located
within the acquisition.
1.The project for which the acquisition is necessary is assumed to be complete and being fully utilized for
purposes of estimating the value of the Remainder After the Acquisition, it is also assumed that the property is
affected by the project similar to the community. If it becomes known that there are specific damages that affect
the subject property that are not considered herin, this appraisal and its conclusion may be subject to
reconsideration.
The use of any extraordinary assumption or hypothetical condition may have affected the assignment results.
The value conclusions are based on the following hypothetical conditions. A hypothetical condition is a condition,
directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the
effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of analysis.
The value conclusions are subject to the following extraordinary assumptions. An extraordinary assumption is an
assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which,
if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.

Definitions
Parcel 23
Definitions
The source of the following definitions is the Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate
Appraisal, 6th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2015), unless otherwise noted.
As Is Market Value
The estimate of the market value of real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as
of the appraisal date.
Disposition Value
The most probable price that a specified interest in property should bring under the following
conditions:
1. Consummation of a sale within a specified time, which is shorter than the typical exposure
time for such a property in that market.
2. The property is subjected to market conditions prevailing as of the date of valuation.
3. Both the buyer and seller are acting prudently and knowledgeably.
4. The seller is under compulsion to sell.
5. The buyer is typically motivated.
6. Both parties are acting in what they consider to be their best interests.
7. An adequate marketing effort will be made during the exposure time.
8. Payment will be made in cash in U.S. dollars (or the local currency) or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto.
9. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special or
creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
This definition can also be modified to provide for valuation with specified financing terms.
Effective Date
1. The date on which the appraisal or review opinion applies.
2. In a lease document, the date upon which the lease goes into effect.
Entitlement
In the context of ownership, use, or development of real estate, governmental approval for
annexation, zoning, utility extensions, number of lots, total floor area, construction permits, and
occupancy or use permits.
Entrepreneurial Incentive
The amount an entrepreneur expects to receive for his or her contribution to a project.
Entrepreneurial incentive may be distinguished from entrepreneurial profit (often called developer’s
Parcel 23
profit) in that it is the expectation of future profit as opposed to the profit actually earned on a
development or improvement. The amount of entrepreneurial incentive required for a project
represents the economic reward sufficient to motivate an entrepreneur to accept the risk of the
project and to invest the time and money necessary in seeing the project through to completion.
Entrepreneurial Profit
1. A market-derived figure that represents the amount an entrepreneur receives for his or her
contribution to a project and risk; the difference between the total cost of a property (cost of
development) and its market value (property value after completion), which represents the
entrepreneur’s compensation for the risk and expertise associated with development. An
entrepreneur is motivated by the prospect of future value enhancement (i.e., the
entrepreneurial incentive). An entrepreneur who successfully creates value through new
development, expansion, renovation, or an innovative change of use is rewarded by
entrepreneurial profit. Entrepreneurs may also fail and suffer losses.
2. In economics, the actual return on successful management practices, often identified with
coordination, the fourth factor of production following land, labor, and capital; also called
entrepreneurial return or entrepreneurial reward.
Exposure Time
1. The time a property remains on the market.
2. The estimated length of time that the property interest being appraised would have been
offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on
the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events
assuming a competitive and open market.
Fee Simple Estate
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
The relationship between the above-ground floor area of a building, as described by the zoning or
building code, and the area of the plot on which it stands; in planning and zoning, often expressed as a
decimal, e.g., a ratio of 2.0 indicates that the permissible floor area of a building is twice the total land
area.
Highest and Best Use
1. The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria
that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial
feasibility, and maximum productivity.
2. The use of an asset that maximizes its potential and that is possible, legally permissible, and
financially feasible. The highest and best use may be for continuation of an asset’s existing use
or for some alternative use. This is determined by the use that a market participant would
have in mind for the asset when formulating the price that it would be willing to bid. (ISV)
Parcel 23
3. [The] highest and most profitable use for which the property is adaptable and needed or likely
to be needed in the reasonably near future. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land
Acquisitions)
Investment Value
1. The value of a property to a particular investor or class of investors based on the investor’s
specific requirements. Investment value may be different from market value because it
depends on a set of investment criteria that are not necessarily typical of the market.
2. The value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner for individual investment or
operational objectives.
Lease
A contract in which rights to use and occupy land, space, or structures are transferred by the owner to
another for a specified period of time in return for a specified rent.
Leased Fee Interest
The ownership interest held by the lessor, which includes the right to receive the contract rent
specified in the lease plus the reversionary right when the lease expires.
Leasehold Interest
The right held by the lessee to use and occupy real estate for a stated term and under the conditions
specified in the lease.
Liquidation Value
The most probable price that a specified interest in real property should bring under the following
conditions:
1. Consummation of a sale within a short time period.
2. The property is subjected to market conditions prevailing as of the date of valuation.
3. Both the buyer and seller are acting prudently and knowledgeably.
4. The seller is under extreme compulsion to sell.
5. The buyer is typically motivated.
6. Both parties are acting in what they consider to be their best interests.
7. A normal marketing effort is not possible due to the brief exposure time.
8. Payment will be made in cash in U.S. dollars (or the local currency) or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto.
9. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special or
creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
This definition can also be modified to provide for valuation with specified financing terms.
Parcel 23
Marketing Time
An opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell a real or personal property interest at the
concluded market value level during the period immediately after the effective date of an appraisal.
Marketing time differs from exposure time, which is always presumed to precede the effective date of
an appraisal.
Market Value
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and
assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of
a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
• buyer and seller are typically motivated;
• both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own
best interests;
• a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
• payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and
• the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or
creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

Evaluation Guidelines, Federal Register, 75 FR 77449, December 10, 2010, page 77472)
Prospective Opinion of Value
A value opinion effective as of a specified future date. The term does not define a type of value.
Instead, it identifies a value opinion as being effective at some specific future date. An opinion of
value as of a prospective date is frequently sought in connection with projects that are proposed,
under construction, or under conversion to a new use, or those that have not yet achieved sellout or a
stabilized level of long-term occupancy.
