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 represented as Parcel 074-1 of the IH-35 Utility Relocation
in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas. The appraisal report is prepared by Mr. TJ Smith, dated July 7, 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 9.5230-
acre, or 414,822 square foot tract of land improved with an OTR Truck Wash. The appraiser states the improvements
currently on the site will not be affected by the acquisition and are not valued. The land is valued via the sales comparison
approach. The cost approach, 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 western line of the IH-35 frontage road, just north of
Barthold Road, Denton, Denton County, Texas. The physical address of the site is 4800 Barthold Road. Ownership is stated
as Blue Beacon International, Inc. The most recent property transfer was on August 17, 2017. Purchase price is stated as
$1,829,300, or $2.00/SF for the land. The property is not currently listed for sale or under contract. 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 9.5230 acres, or
414,822 square feet. The site has approximately 500 linear feet of frontage along Barthold Road, and approximately 560
front feet along the western frontage road of IH-35. Access is available along Barthold Road. The property is appraised as
vacant land. The subject resides in the City of Denton and is zoned “GO”, General Office. 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 August 2017 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 $3.13 per square foot. The reconciled unit value for the subject land
is concluded at $2.60 per square foot. This equates to $1,078,537 for the subject land in the whole property condition, as
detailed below.
Subject Land – 414,822 SF x $2.60/SF = $1,078,537
Mr. Smith estimates the whole property value to be $1,078,537, consisting of land only.

VI. Comments and Conclusions on Values in the Appraisal Report
Partial Acquisition: The easement acquisition contains 16,359 square feet, is irregular shaped, and located along the eastern
line of the site at a depth of approximately 30 feet. Length of the acquisitions along the frontage road of IH-35 is
approximately 560 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 $2.60 per square foot. This equates to $1.30 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 $1.30 per square foot is applied to the 16,359 square feet of land within the easement acquisition parcel.
The result is a value of $21,267 as detailed below.
16,359 SF x $1.30/SF = $21,267
Total estimated value for the part acquired is $21,267, consisting of $21,267 for the land.
Remainder Property (Land Only): The remainder before the acquisition is $1,057,270, as detailed below.
Easement Land 16,359 SF x $1.30 per square foot = $ 21,266 (rounded down)
Remainder Land 398,463 SF x $2.60 per square foot = $1,036,004
Remainder Before 414,822 SF $1,057,270
The remainder after property of 414,822 square feet is appraised using the same five comparable sales as in the whole
property valuation. The value conclusion is unchanged at $2.60 per square foot. This equates to $1,057,270 for the subject
land in the remainder after as detailed below.
Easement Land 16,359 SF x $1.30 per square foot = $ 21,266 (rounded down)
Remainder Land 398,463 SF x $2.60 per square foot = $1,036,004
Remainder After 414,822 SF $1,057,270
The value of the remainder after is $1,057,270, 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 $21,267, comprised of
$21,267 for the part acquired.
Cost-To-Cure: None.
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.

appropriate, and if the elements in the report meet the standards of the intended users, and communicate my findings to the
client, by written review. This assignment does not include the development of my own opinion of value. This review
assignment is intended to aide in decision-making and property acquisition with respect to The City of Denton’s IH-35 Utility
Relocation project and includes a review opinion related only to the work under review.

Scope of Review: with respect to the appraisal review process, I have completed the following:
I have read the appraisal report in its entirety, examined it for completeness, and have provided comments to the appraiser for
consideration. I have not reviewed the appraiser’s work file and assume that items referenced in the appraisal report are retained
in the work file; and the work file includes all information necessary to produce a credible opinion of value of the subject
appraised. I did not research the market for additional comparable sales or other market data. I personally inspected the subject
property and comparable sales utilized in the appraisal report under review. The subject property was inspected from the public
right-of-way and/or subject property, and I had an unobstructed view of the proposed acquisition area (excepting areas of dense
vegetation).
My opinion of the work under review is limited to the report and information provided by the appraiser, and when necessary,
information provided by The City of Denton (e.g., ROW maps). No other information was relied on. The information provided
in the appraisal report is considered reliable but is not guaranteed. I did not confirm any of the subject, or comparable sale data.
I did not perform any additional research, and I have not formed an independent opinion of market value for the subject
property, acquisition, or remainder property. I have adequate knowledge of this property type and market area to meet the
competency requirements set forth in USPAP.
No extraordinary assumptions or additional hypothetical conditions are necessary in this review assignment. I have prepared a
written report with my recommendations regarding the appraisal report.
