DEFINITION OF 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:
a. buyer and seller are typically motivated;
b. both parties are well informed or well advised
c. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market
d. payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements com-
parable thereto; and
e. 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. 1
PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL
Estimate the market value of the fee simple interest of the subject property in “as vacant” condition as
of the date(s) of value subject to the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions set forth herein.
SCOPE OF WORK
Conduct a visual survey of the subject, regional area and market area. Analyze secondary data
sources to assist in assessing market conditions, zoning and tax information in the market area.
Estimate the highest and best use of the property. Research market data of comparable properties
confirmed by participants in the regional market area. Develop a credible opinion of the defined
value for the subject property utilizing the applicable approaches to value. Present the opinion in
the appropriate format.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Appraisers usually consider the use of three approaches to value when developing a market value
opinion for real property. These are the cost approach, sales comparison approach, and income
capitalization approach. Use of the approaches in this assignment are summarized as follows:
Approaches to Value
Approach Applicability to Subject Uses in Assignment
Cost Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach Applicable Utilized
Income Capitalization Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
The sales comparison approach is considered applicable as there are numerous similar land sales
in the market and sufficient sales data for comparison.
The cost approach is not applicable as the subject is appraised as vacant land. No improvements
were noted during the visual inspection.
The income capitalization approach is not applicable as the subject is considered vacant land and
is not typically bought and sold for income producing abilities.
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
The extent of research and analysis conducted is detailed in the individual sections of this
assignment. However, the steps can be summarized as follows: Researched area market
unimproved, and improved sales and listing, researched replacement cost data, income, expense
data, rates of returns, researched zoning, tax, property history, reviewed and researched property
and comparable data site, improvement and other characteristics, and reviewed and research other
relevant information pertaining to the subject, data used in analysis, and the market area.

HISTORY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
As required by the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
established by the Appraisal Institute, the appraisal report must consider and analyze any current
agreement of sale, options, listings, and any prior sales within the past three years. This analysis
should reasonably disclose and verify:
a. Grantor(s) - Grantee(s)
b. Sale Date(s)
c. Sale Price(s) and terms of financing, discounting the sale to a cash equivalent, when
necessary.
d. Any interrelated parties to each transaction.
The subject data is reported in compliance with USPAP and no other pertinent information was noted
other than is reported below. The data should not be used in lieu of a title search and is not a guarantee
to the chain of title.
The subject of this report is a tract of land utilized as the McMath Middle School track and is
currently part of a larger parent tract of land. The subject site is being appraised “as vacant” as the
track improvements belong to Denton ISD. Below is a brief description of the subject, the parent
tract, and the history of ownership.
According to the Denton Central Appraisal District the subject tract is currently part of the larger
parent tract owned by the City of Denton, known as South Lakes Park. The parent tract is
~185.5098 acres +\-, the subject tract is ~9.4 acres +\-.
The parent tract has been owned by the City of Denton for a period exceeding 3 years. According
to NTREIS MLS & Costar, as well as a general Google search the parent tract has not been listed
for sale or have sold in the prior 3 years. No listings or sales were found during our research.
The parent tract is assessed under account no. 34591. Deed history indicates the parent has been
entitled to the City of Denton since 6/23/1992; recorded in Vol. 3257, Pg. 971. The purpose of this
appraisal is to provide market value of the subject parcel (9.4 acres) for consideration of a land
swap between the City Denton and Denton ISD. The subject parcel would need to be re-platted and
assigned its own account number upon reaching an agreement. A survey of the subject 9.4 acres

ZONING ANALYSIS
Municipalities typically regulate land use within their municipal jurisdiction by the implementation
and enforcement of zoning ordinances. Zoning ordinances purportedly screen and control urban
development, promote consistency, compatibility, and contribution to the community, and define
the quality and character of the neighborhood area.
The subject site is situated in the City of Denton zoning and planning jurisdiction. After reviewing
city GIS maps & municipal code the subject is located in the “PF” – Public Facilities. Below is a brief
description of the PF purpose as outlined in the City of Denton’s municipal code.
PF Purpose - “This district is intended to provide an alternative zoning district and development
process to accommodate substantial development for residential, commercial, professional,
recreational, industrial, or other activities, including combinations of uses appropriately requiring
flexibility under controlled conditions, not otherwise attainable under conventional base zoning
districts.”
According to the City of Denton municipal code “PF” would allow for a variety of higher density
mixed use, office, and commercial uses. This is a permitted use of the subject site. It is a specific
assumption of this report that any future intended usage meets or exceeds the specifications set forth
by any applicable zoning ordinance.
As noted in the Site Section of this report the surrounding land uses are primarily multi-family
residential, municipal/institutional, and some mixed-use commercial scattered through the area.
There is minimal vacant land and/or redevelopment land scattered throughout the area. See the zoning
maps on the following page for a depiction of location, layout, and zoning.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The concept of Highest and Best Use can be defined as being: “The reasonably probable use of
property that results in the highest value.”
“To be reasonably probable, traditionally a use must meet certain conditions:
The use must be physically possible (or it is reasonably probable to render it so).
The use must be legally permissible (or it is reasonably probable to render it so).
The use must be financially feasible.
Uses that meet the three criteria of reasonably probable uses are tested for economic productivity, and
the reasonably probable use with the highest value is the highest and best use.” 2
The site does not currently have a physical address. It is physically located directly south of
Londonderry Lane/McMath Middle School & Adjacent to South Lakes Park, in the City of Denton,
and is legally described as 9.4 Acres in the C. Poullalier Survey, Ab. No. 1007, City of Denton,
Texas. The site does not offer public road frontage; it is currently accessed by private drive (Jason Dr).
Jason drive is a private road that is accessed by Londonderry Lane. Londonderry Lane is an interior

The site consists of 9.4 acres (409,494 SF +/-) of land and is considered irregular shaped and is gently
sloping to South Lakes Park The frontage-to-depth ratio and ingress/egress are considered below
average due to no public roadway access. The site offers adequate utility availability in sufficient
quantities for development with all city utilities and services available to site. Currently the City of
Denton has the site zoned “PF” Public Facilities.
The surrounding land uses are primarily multi-family residential, municipal/institutional, and some
mixed-use commercial scattered through the area. There is minimal vacant land and/or
redevelopment land scattered throughout the area. The subject is located directly across from south
of McMath Middle School and is being utilized for recreation (running track) purposes for the
school.
Typical utility and right-of-way easements are assumed to be located along the site borders. Utility
easements are considered typical and not considered to adversely affect the property and the shared
access easement is typical of similar development properties. No adverse external influences were
observed in close proximity.
According to available FEMA flood maps no portion of the subject is located in the floodplain and
indicates the subject site is in Zone X, outside the flood area.

APPROACHES TO VALUE
The estimation of value involves a systematic process in which the problem is defined; the work
necessary to solve the problem is planned; and the data required is acquired, classified, analyzed and
interpreted into an estimate of value. In this process, three basic approaches: the Cost Approach, the
Income Approach, and the Sales Comparison Approach. When one or more of these approaches is
not applicable in the appraisal process, justification is warranted. A brief explanation of each approach
follows:
In the Cost Approach, the appraiser must first estimate the value of the subject site by comparing it to
similar sites that have recently sold or are currently offered for sale. The replacement cost new of the
improvements, as determined by comparison to similarly constructed properties, is then estimated.
Depreciation from all sources is determined and subtracted from the replacement cost new of the
improvements, to arrive at their present worth. The present worth of all improvements is added to the
estimated site value with the result being the indicated value by this approach. The age/condition and/or
design may render this approach inapplicable due to the subjectivity of the estimation of depreciation.
The Income Approach is a process in which the anticipated flow of future benefits (actual dollar income
or amenities) is discounted to a present worth figure through the capitalization process. The appraiser is
primarily concerned with the future benefits resulting from net income. Net income is the remainder
after deduction of expenses of operation from effective gross income. The steps in this approach include
estimating potential gross income by comparison with competing properties and estimating expenses
(derived from historical and/or market experience) to determine a projected net income stream. The
income stream is then capitalized into an indication of value by using capitalization rates extracted from
competitive properties in the market or by using other techniques when applicable.
The Sales Comparison Approach involves the comparison of similar properties that have recently sold
or similar properties that are currently offered for sale, with the subject property. These properties are
compared to the subject with regard to differences or similarities in market conditions, age/condition,
location, physical characteristics, and any conditions influencing the sale. The notable differences in the
comparable properties are then adjusted from the subject property to indicate a value range for the
property being appraised. When sufficient sales data is available, these adjustments are best determined
by the actions of typical buyers and sellers in the subject's market. This value range, as indicated by the
adjusted comparable properties, is then correlated into a final indicated value for the subject property by
this approach.
The value estimates, as indicated by the applicable approaches, are reconciled into a final value estimate
of the property's worth. The sales comparison approach is considered applicable as there are numerous
similar land sales in the market and sufficient sales data for comparison. The cost approach is not
applicable as the subject is vacant land. No improvements were noted during the visual inspection.
The income capitalization approach is not applicable as the subject is considered vacant land and is
not typically bought and sold for income producing abilities.
The Sales Comparison Approach is applicable and developed in the following pages.
TM APPRAISAL ASSOCIATES Section C
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
This approach to value, also termed the Market Approach, requires a comparison of similar competitive
properties that have recently sold to the subject property. In this market area, the most typically used unit
of comparison is the Sale Price per Square Foot (SP/SF).
The unit of comparison is obtained by dividing the property's sale price by the applicable unit. Since this
unit of comparison involves a comparison of physical attributes, adjustments must be made for any
differences that affect sale prices. These differences include financing conditions, market conditions,
location, size, and various utility attributes. This is a reliable unit of comparison, assuming a high degree
of comparability.
The sales comparison approach is considered applicable as there are numerous similar land sales in
the market and sufficient sales data for comparison. Recent sales of relatively similar properties within
the market area are analyzed as a basis for valuation of the subject property. Those sales, which are
considered to be the most reliable and comparable to the subject, are presented on the following pages.

Analysis of Comparable Sales
The adjustments of the comparable sales utilized in the adjustment grid are discussed below. The unit of
comparison developed in this approach from the comparable sales to estimate value is considered to be
one primarily utilized by market participants for this property type.
Property Rights Conveyed: Each of the comparable sales involved the sale of a fee simple interest similar
to the subject. When considering the subject property rights appraised, adjustment for property rights
conveyed of the comparable sales is not warranted.
Financing Terms: All of the sales are reported to have market terms or cash to seller transactions;
therefore, adjustment consideration is not warranted.
Conditions of Sale: All of the sales utilized in this analysis are reported to be arms-length transactions
warranting no adjustment consideration for conditions of sale.
Market Conditions: The comparable sales are considered to have transacted in current market conditions
in 2022-2023 and do not warrant adjustment consideration.
Location/Site/View: The subject site is an interior site located with private road/drive access considered
inferior to Sales 2-3 in regard to location related characteristics warranting downward adjustments
accordingly. Sale 1 is considered the most similar in location characteristics and similar private access.
No adjustment is applied.
Size: Smaller properties tend to sell for more per unit than similar larger properties due to the
economies of scale. The subject consists of 409,464 SF (9.4 acres) of gross land area. Sale 1 is slightly
smaller than the subject, warranting downward adjustment for the smaller site size. The remaining
sales are the most similar in terms of size and are not adjusted.
Zoning/Use: The subject site is zoned PF/Public Facilities which allows for a wide variety of uses
governmental, commercial, office, and some retail uses subject to approval by the City of Denton.
The sales and pending sale are zoned for similar uses and no adjustments are applied.
Utilities: The subject has all municipal utilities in sufficient quantities for development onsite. The
sales are considered to offer similar utility availability warranting no adjustment consideration.
Flood Hazard Area/Easements: The subject property is considered to be not affected by flood hazard
area. The sales are similar to the subject with no adjustment consideration due to flood hazard.
Shape/Topography: The subject property has adequate shape and topography for development. All
three sales are considered to have similar utility of shape and topography conducive to development
overall, similar to the subject and do not warrant adjustment consideration.
TM APPRAISAL ASSOCIATES Section C
Value Conclusion by Unit of Comparison
The Sales Price per SF Method (SP/SF Method) is utilized to develop an opinion of the subject
property value in this approach.
The adjusted range of comparable sales is approximately $4.17/SF to $4.80/SF with an average price per
SF of $4.53/SF and median price per SF of $4.63/SF. Placing weighted emphasis on Sale 1 due to lack
of direct public access, a price per square foot of $4.25/SF is felt to be appropriate for the subject property
due to the lack of direct road frontage and utility of the subject site.
Site Area (SF) +/- SP/SF Value Indication
409,464 x $4.25 =$1,740,222
Value
Rounded $1,740,000
TRACT 1 - VALUE INDICATION BY UNIT OF COMPARISON
After consideration of the adjusted vacant land sales data, the estimated market value of the subject site
in “as vacant” condition as of the effective date of value is $1,740,000 rounded.

MARKETING PERIOD/EXPOSURE TIME
Per USPAP the exposure period for the subject property must be analyzed. Five factors must be
considered in the exposure period, the ability of those marketing the property, the type of property,
the listing price, the size and location of the market and the comparability of available market data.
An adept marketer will tend to move the property in a shorter period than will an average one and an
inept marketer may require twice as much.
Exposure period must be assessed in terms of whether the property was originally listed reasonably
close to its true value as perceived by the market. Any property listed significantly above its true
value will tend to attract no interested parties due to the perception that it is a waste of time pursuing
its purchase. Further, a property listed noticeably below the market's perception of the value will tend
to sell in a shorter period than may otherwise be required and therefore distort the concept of
"reasonable marketing period". A study by M/PF, a real estate market research firm in Dallas, polled
real estate brokers as to the "reasonable marketing period" for various types of real estate. The
response was 9 - 12 months. Implicit in this response is that the property is listed reasonably close to
the market's perception of its true value.
Historically, purchasers of any property which is considered by the market to have value are available
regardless of product oversupply, availability of financing or lack thereof. The definition of market
value specifically requires that there exists a potential buyer and potential seller, each acting prudently
and knowledgeably and implies a consummation of a sale. Therefore, an additional factor to be
considered in analyzing the marketing period is the size and location of the market. For very large
industrial properties or for very specialized properties such as petrochemical refining, large granaries,
etc., the market may be relatively small, specialized and national or international rather than local or
regional. More typical real estate such as apartments, shopping centers, office buildings and vacant
land has a market that is local, regional national or international implying a shorter marketing period
and exposure time.
The date of the comparable sales must be considered. If no data is available to indicate current
expectations of current market conditions and is only available for market conditions unlike current
conditions, the value indicated by the data may not necessarily reflect current expectations and the
analysis must include these circumstances.
Properties similar to the subject in the market area are marketable to a wide group of potential
purchasers in the local region, state, and nation. Exposure time is considered to be twelve months.
Without exception, all real estate offices contacted expressed, if offered at or near market value and
had the property been correctly exposed to the market for the past twelve months, the property should
sell for a reasonable price. After development of the preceding pages of market data, it is our opinion
that had the property been offered at or slightly above the market value conclusion an exposure period
from 9 - 12 months is considered necessary for the property to potentially consummate a sale closer
to the appraised market value. An exposure period of twelve to eighteen months or less is considered
applicable for the subject property.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL OPINION OF VALUE
Cost Approach Not Developed
Sales Comparison Approach $1,740,000
Income Approach Not Developed
The Cost Approach utilizes replacement cost estimated by using actual costs for comparable facilities
and/or Marshall and Swift Valuation Services. Indirect costs associated with property are also determined.
The land value is estimated by analyzing current land sales within the area. The estimated land value is
added to indicate the value estimate by this approach. This approach is considered inapplicable due to
the subject being appraised as vacant land with no improvements.
The Sales Comparison Approach is considered a generally reliable method because the units of
comparison are market based. The units of comparison are direct, which renders the comparison highly
indicative of market behavior and the primary approach utilized by market participants. Overall, this
approach is applicable and utilized in this analysis since the property type is typically traded in the market
area.
The Income Approach is generally considered to be an appropriate valuation method when the property
has rental income-producing potential. The potential gross income, stabilized vacancy rate and operating
expenses are estimated from market data. The income capitalization approach is not applicable as the
subject is considered vacant land and is not typically bought and sold for income producing abilities.
TM APPRAISAL ASSOCIATES Section D
The value estimates as indicated by the applicable approaches are reconciled into a final value estimate
of fair market value. Utilizing the Sales Comparison approach as it best indicates the actions of buyers
and sellers in the marketplace, the estimated market value of the fee simple interest for the subject
property in “as vacant” condition subject to the Basic Assumptions and Limiting Conditions as of
August 21th, 2025, is:
