Form ROW-A-10 (Rev. 09/16) Page 3 of 10 22.262 Review, Parcel 074-11 WWE, IH-35 Utility Relocation, Denton, Texas TABULATION OF VALUES (continued) Parcel: 074-11 Highway: IH-35 Utility Relocation ROW CSJ: N/A VI. Comments and Conclusions on Values in the Appraisal Report Project: The proposed project is for the relocation of water, wastewater, and electric lines owned by the City of Denton. The project is a result of the new right-of-way line after acquisitions by the Texas Department of Transportation for the IH- 35 roadway project. The City of Denton indicates that installation of the new utility lines will be by open cut sections and any site improvements affected will be restored to similar or better than what was present before. The project will extend from Post Oak Drive to Loop 288. The appraisal under review considers an easement acquisition, contained in two parts, represented as Parcel 074-11 of the IH-35 Utility Relocation in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. The appraisal report is prepared by Mr. TJ Smith, dated August 2, 2022, and is effective as of June 23, 2022 (the date of the last inspection). For purposes of this analysis, the whole property is a 107.230-acre, or 4,670,939 square foot tract of vacant land and minimal site improvements that include fencing. The land is valued via the sales comparison approach. The cost approach is utilized to value the affected site improvements which includes barbed wire fencing. The sales comparison approach, and income approach to value, with respect to improved properties, are not applicable and are omitted. The appraiser uses the subject land size as stated by the survey provided by the client and other information. The area of the proposed easement acquisition is stated in the parcel survey and field notes. The appraiser has calculated the remainder land area by subtracting the easement acquisition from the whole property size. Location and Property Owner: The property is located along the eastern line of the IH-35 frontage road, just south of Milam Road, Denton, Denton County, Texas. The physical address of the site is 8444 N. IH-35. Ownership is stated as NDMAC, Ltd. The most recent property transfer was on August 4, 2008. Purchase price is unknown. The property is currently under contract; however, the broker would not share details of the transaction. Mr. Smith sent a certified letter to the property owner discussing the project and requesting a site visit. The return receipt was not received. The landowner did not contact the appraiser and was not present for the site inspection. The property was inspected from the public right-of- way and adjacent properties. Whole Property and Highest and Best Use: The subject parcel is generally “flag” shaped, containing 107.230 acres, or 4,670,939 square feet. The site has approximately 770 linear feet of frontage along Milam Road, and approximately 1,990 front feet along the eastern frontage road of IH-35. Access is available along Milam Road and IH-35. The property is vacant land. The subject resides in the City of Denton and is zoned “RR”, Residential Rural. All utilities are available to service the property and the site is free of flood land. The subject and market area are examined with respect to the four tests of highest and best use. The appraiser states the highest and best use, as vacant, is for commercial development. Valuation (Land Only): The market area is analyzed for trends and information that affect real estate value, and the conclusions thereof are adequately supported. The land is valued via the sales comparison approach, using five comparable sales in the market area. The sales transacted between December 2019 and April 2022. Adjustments are supported by the appraiser’s reasoning and logic with respect to the market data and analysis presented. After applicable adjustments for market conditions, the sale prices range from $1.82 to $2.94 per square foot. The reconciled unit value for the subject land is concluded at $2.50 per square foot. This equates to $11,677,348 for the subject land in the whole property condition, as detailed below. Subject Land – 4,670,939 SF x $2.50/SF = $11,677,348 The cost approach is developed to value the site improvements affected by the acquisition. The appraiser states there is 35 linear feet of barbed wire fencing with a contributory value of $280. By combining the land value of $11,667,348 and $280 for affected site improvements, Mr. Smith estimates the whole property value to be $11,677,628. Form ROW-A-10 (Rev. 09/16) Page 4 of 10 22.262 Review, Parcel 074-11 WWE, IH-35 Utility Relocation, Denton, Texas TABULATION OF VALUES (continued) Parcel: 074-11 Highway: IH-35 Utility Relocation ROW CSJ: N/A VI. Comments and Conclusions on Values in the Appraisal Report Partial Acquisition: The easement acquisition contains two parts, totals 47,460 square feet, is irregular shaped, and located along the western line of the site and at the northwest corner of the site, at varying depths. Length of the acquisitions is approximately 2,115 feet. The easement acquisition is for relocation of utilities. The appraiser estimates the value of the easement area to be 50% of fee simple, or 50% of $2.50 per square foot. This equates to $1.25 per square foot for the easement area. The appraiser states that 50% is used because the amount of rights being acquired, and the joint use the easement area will have in the remainder. The unit value of $1.25 per square foot is applied to the 47,460 square feet of land within the easement acquisition parcel. The result is a value of $59,325 as detailed below. 47,460 SF x $1.25/SF = $59,325 In addition to the land, there 35 linear feet of barbed wire fencing with a contributory value of $280. Total estimated value for the part acquired is $59,605, consisting of $59,325 for the land, and $280 for the affected site improvements. Remainder Property (Land Only): The remainder before the acquisition is $11,618,023, as detailed below. Easement Land 47,460 SF x $1.25 per square foot = $ 59,325 Remainder Land 4,623,479 SF x $2.50 per square foot = $11,558,698 Remainder Before 4,670,939 SF $11,618,023 The remainder after property of 4,670,939 square feet is appraised using the same five comparable sales as in the whole property valuation. The value conclusion is unchanged at $2.50 per square foot. This equates to $11,618,023 for the subject land in the remainder after as detailed below. Easement Land 47,460 SF x $1.25 per square foot = $ 59,325 Remainder Land 4,623,479 SF x $2.50 per square foot = $11,558,698 Remainder After 4,670,939 SF $11,618,023 The value of the remainder after is $11,618,023, the same as the remainder before value. The highest and best use of the subject property is not changed or affected. The appraiser finds no permanent damages to the remainder property because of the acquisition. Total Compensation: Page 6.0 summarizes the total compensation due the property owner as $59,941, comprised of $59,605 for the part acquired and $336 for the cost-to-cure. Cost-To-Cure: In the remainder after, the barbed wire fencing will need to be reinstalled. The appraiser indicates the cost to be $560. After deducting what was paid in the part acquired for fencing and adding a 10% contingency cost of cost new, the total cost-to-cure is $336. . The appraiser has considered access damages in accordance with Section 21.042(d) of the Texas Property Code, as amended by SB18 of the Texas 82nd Regular Legislative Session and finds as follows: 1. Is there a denial of direct access on this parcel? No 2. If so, is the denial of direct access material? N/A 3. The lack of any access denial or the material impairment of direct access on or off the remaining property affects the market value of the remaining property in the sum of $0.00.
