Specialty Land Services LLC Mr. Buddy Minett & Matthew Hutto
8780 3rd Street, Suite 110 Frisco, Texas 75034 RE: The proposed partial acquisition of a 0.3740 acre tract of land Located at 1422 Audra Lane Denton, Denton County, Texas 76201
Dear Mr. Minett: We have personally inspected the above-referenced property and have prepared an opinion of value in accordance with your request. The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an opinion of market value of the fee simple estate of the subject property in “as is” condition and recommended compensation for the parts to be acquired and damages to the remainder, if any, as of the effective date of appraisal. The property in question involves a proposed right of way dedication of a 0.3740 acre tract of land by the City of Denton. All data considered pertinent to the preparation of this appraisal has been investigated and analyzed and the results of the analysis together with our conclusions may be found within the
following report. The definition of market value has been included within the accompanying report. Market value is defined as follows: “Market Value is the price which the property would bring when it is offered for sale by one who desires, but is not obliged to sell, and is bought by one who is
under no necessity of buying it, taking into consideration all of the uses to which it is reasonably adaptable and for which it either is or in all reasonable probability will become available within the reasonable future.”
This appraisal report sets forth the identification of the subject property, information regarding the subject property and its surrounding area, comparable sales data, the results of the investigations and analyses, and the reasoning leading to our conclusions. This appraisal involves an appraisal report in compliance with the Scope of Work Rule of the 2020-2023 Edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as provided by the Appraisal Foundation.
All methodology utilized to arrive upon the opinion of market value can be found in The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition, as published by The Appraisal Institute.
Mr. Buddy Minett & Matthew Hutto November 19, 2023
Page Two In our professional opinion, and after careful consideration of the various factors influencing this
appraisal, the following illustrates the “as is” market value for the subject property and the recommended compensation, as of the effective date of appraisal, November 9, 2023:
Extraordinary Assumption: According to the 2020-2023 USPAP, 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.” An extraordinary assumption has been made that the acquisitions by the City of Denton will not permanently limit ingress/egress to and from the subject property. The use of this assumption could affect the results of this assignment and if found to be incorrect could necessitate re-analysis. Further, these opinions of value are contingent upon the subject property being free of any hazardous wastes deposited thereupon by the present or previous owners/tenants of the site which would adversely affect the value of the property. The existence of any such materials was not observed upon the physical inspection of the property. However, we are not qualified to detect these substances and it is recommended that an expert in this field be obtained if the client has suspicion of these materials and substances existing on the property. It is also assumed there is full compliance with all requirements of Title III, of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which became effective January 26, 1992. No responsibility is assumed by the appraisers for any such
conditions, or for any expertise of architectural/design knowledge and cost required identifying such non-compliance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SALIENT FACTS & CONCLUSIONS
Property Appraised: A 0.3740 acre tract of land (16,292 square feet) improved with A 3,102 square foot single family residence. The source of the land size is the Denton Central Appraisal District. According to surveys provided by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the portion of the site from which property rights will potentially be acquired involves a 0.0526 acre (2,293 square foot) right of way dedication. Furthermore, we determined that the use of the main improvements will not be affected by the proposed acquisitions as the acquisitions are located a
sufficient distance from the main improvements and will not negatively affect internal circulation, drainage, ingress/egress, or utility of the remainder.

STATEMENT OF PRIOR SERVICES RENDERED
Todd Property Advisors, and Mitchell B. Todd, MAI, Michael A. Keane, MAI, and Jonathan D.
Moncrief have rendered no services as an appraiser or in any other capacity regarding this
property within the three-year period immediately preceding acceptance of this assignment.
PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
The fee simple estate is defined as "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" 1 This differs from the leased fee estate. “In appraisal practice,
the lessor’s, or landlord’s, position is referred to as the leased fee. The rights of the lessor (the
leased fee owner) and the lessee (leaseholder) are specified by contract terms contained in the
lease". 2
The fee simple estate of the subject is being appraised, due to the lack of existence of any lease
agreements, which would encumber the property. Furthermore, the proposed right of way
dedication has also been appraised. This ownership interest is subject to any zoning ordinances,
easements, restrictions of record and other applicable codes and ordinances of record.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
The appropriate definition of market value for this assignment is as follows: “Market Value” is the
price the property would bring when offered for sale by one who desires to sell, but is not obliged
to sell, and is bought by one who desires to buy, but is under no necessity of buying, taking into
consideration all those uses to which it is reasonably adaptable and for which it either is or in all
reasonable probability will become available within the reasonable future.

STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP
According to information provided by the Denton CAD and information provided by the client, title
of the subject is vested in Akbar Sharief Shaik & Nisar Razvi.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work is defined as the type and extent of research and analysis in an assignment.
The scope of this appraisal assignment is to provide a credible opinion of the market value of the
subject property in “as is” condition and the recommended compensation as of the effective date
of appraisal (November 9, 2023). In compliance with the 2020-2023 Edition of the Uniform
1 The Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal (Sixth Edition), Chicago, Illinois, 2015, page 90.

TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 8
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and upon the request of the client, an
appraisal report has been prepared utilizing the Scope of Work Rule.
The Scope of Work Rule within USPAP emphasizes the requirements for problem identification,
determining the appropriate scope of work, and disclosure of the scope of work that was
performed in appraisal, appraisal review, and appraisal consulting assignments. The following is
a discussion of the scope of work undertaken within the context of this report.
The scope of work for this appraisal was determined by the complexity of the assignment and the
reporting requirements of this appraisal report type, including: the definition of market value, real
property interests valued, assumptions and limiting conditions, and certifications.
The appraisers considered this scope of work to be adequate to complete a credible appraisal of
the subject property. The appraisers believe that this scope of work would meet the expectations
and needs of parties who are regular intended users for similar assignments and that this scope
of work is substantially similar to what an appraiser’s peers actions would be in performing the
same or similar assignment. Based upon our education and experience appraising similar
properties for right-of-way acquisition purposes and our knowledge of the local market, we are
competent to complete this appraisal assignment.
The subject appraisal research began with a review of the three year history of the subject
property prior to the date of appraisal by conducting research of the Denton County public records.
This research was facilitated by several on-line resources including CoStar.com, the Denton CAD,
and Loopnet.com, as well as several other resources including owners, buyers, lenders and other
parties knowledgeable of the subject property. The Regional, City, and Neighborhood Analyses
are presented in a summarized format and include information gathered through inspection of the
areas, review of published secondary data, such as that provided by the North Central Texas
Council of Governments, and a variety of resources available from the Cities of Fort Worth, Dallas,
and other surrounding communities comprising the Metroplex.
The site analysis included an inspection by the appraisers and a review of FEMA flood insurance
rate maps, and aerial photographs via satellite. The property inspection included a visual survey
of the subject on November 9, 2023. The applicable zoning ordinance of the subject property was
verified with the zoning records of the City of Denton. The tax rates, assessed values and
information regarding the subject's tax debt were verified by the Denton CAD and the individual
taxing jurisdictions via the appraisal district’s website (www.dentoncad.com).
Primary data regarding the subject submarket and the immediate surrounding area was verified
by the appraisers through an inspection of the area, and interviews conducted with owners, real
estate brokers, and management company representatives. To complete this appraisal
assignment, the Cost and Sales Comparison Approaches were considered and utilized. All data
gathered within this approach regarding properties similar to the subject have been previously
verified with either the Grantor, the Grantee, or their representatives through their respective
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 9
sources. A more detailed explanation of the methods and techniques employed in these
approaches is located in the Valuation Process section of this report.
HISTORY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
The subject property sales history was researched thorough a search available from the Denton
CAD property records, CoStar.com, and Loopnet.com among various other sources. According
to Denton County Tax Records, title of the subject is vested in Akbar Sharief Shaik & Nisar Razvi.
The property was purchased by the current owner in May 2023 (Instrument # 2023-58133). The
purchase price and additional details regarding this transaction were not available to the
appraisers. No other arm’s length conveyances have been uncovered regarding the subject
during the last three years.
ESTIMATE OF EXPOSURE TIME
A reasonable exposure period is the amount of time necessary to expose a property to the open
market in order to achieve a sale. According to USPAP 2020-2023, exposure time is defined as,
“an 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.” It is our opinion that a period of six to nine months, with a contract period
of 90 days is reasonable. This results in a total exposure time until closing at a title company of
nine to twelve months. We performed due diligence in estimating the exposure period for the
subject property by surveying the marketing period for comparable properties which had recently
sold or were placed under contract. Additionally, the brokers contacted in verifying the comparable
improved sales within this report generally indicated that exposure times during the last twelve
months have typically ranged from six to twelve months.
It was observed that properties are often marketed for several months or years with very little
interest shown in the property. However, they eventually sell after significant price reductions. A
common tendency among the majority of these sales is that once these properties experience
price reductions, which are believed to bring them into alignment with the rest of the market, their
exposure time was typically less than one year. The price reductions and recognition of market
derived values is reflected in the comparables' sales prices. This is to the extent that the sales
price as represented by the value conclusion for the subject is attractive to an investor today.
Thus, this attractive price should result in a normal exposure of less than one year. Therefore, it
is our opinion that had the subject property been marketed at or very near the "as is" value
conclusion contained herein, it would have been sufficiently attractive to entice an investor to
purchase the property within a nine to twelve month exposure period.
Marketing time is defined as “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
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 10
presumed to precede the effective date of an appraisal.” 3 Thus, marketing time is an estimate of
the amount of time necessary to sell a property after the date of appraisal, which differs from
exposure time which is a retrospective estimate of the amount of time necessary to achieve a
sale prior to the effective date of appraisal.
It is our opinion that a marketing period of six to nine months, with a contract period of 90 days is
reasonable. This results in a total marketing time until closing at a title company of nine to twelve
months. We performed due diligence in estimating the marketing period for the subject property
by surveying the marketing period for comparable properties which had recently sold or were
placed under contract. A common tendency among the majority of the sales is that once these
properties experience price reductions which are believed to bring them into alignment with the
rest of the market, their marketing period is typically less than one year. For example, properties
are often marketed for several years with very little interest shown in the property. However, they
eventually sell after significant price reductions. The price reductions and recognition of market
derived values is reflected in the comparables' sales prices. This is to the extent that the sales
price as represented by the value conclusion for the subject is attractive to an investor today.
Thus, this attractive price should result in a normal marketing period of less than one year.
Therefore, it is our opinion that if the subject property is marketed at or very near the value
conclusion contained herein, it will be sufficiently attractive to entice an investor or user to
purchase the property within a twelve month marketing period.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
According to the 2020-2023 USPAP, 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.” There were no
hypothetical conditions utilized within this report.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
According to the 2020-2023 USPAP, 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.” An extraordinary
assumption has been made that the acquisitions by the City of Denton will not permanently limit
ingress/egress to and from the subject property. The use of this assumption could affect the
results of this assignment and if found to be incorrect could necessitate re-analysis..

SECTION II – EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 12
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Real Estate is an immobile asset, which is dependent upon the exterior environment for economic
viability. The economic climate in which a property is located is both general (the region or area
in which a property is located) and specific (the neighborhood). Four forces continually exert
influence on real estate values within any environment: social, economic, environmental and
governmental. The purpose of this section is to consider all pertinent forces that will have an
effect on the use and value of the subject property.
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA)
encompasses approximately 9,289 square miles in north central Texas. The Dallas-Fort Worth-
Arlington CMSA is comprised of 12 counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Johnson, Kaufman,
Parker, Rockwall, Hunt, Wise, Delta and Ellis. This CMSA, which is also referred to as the D/FW
area or Metroplex, is located 203 miles northeast of Austin, 240 miles northwest of Houston and
206 miles south of Oklahoma City. On a national level, the Metroplex is located in the southern
central sector of the country. The Dallas/Fort Worth area is located approximately equidistant
from both coasts and from the four major concentrations of population in North America: New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Mexico City. The following is a discussion of the aforementioned
forces that exert influence on property value.
Subject Property
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 13
Environmental
The Dallas-Fort Worth climate is humid subtropical with hot summers. It is also considered to be
continental, characterized by a wide annual temperature range. The amount of precipitation
usually varies and ranges from less than 20" to more than 50". D/FW winters are somewhat mild,
but occasionally there are sudden drops in temperature. Periods of extreme cold that occasionally
occur are short-lived, so that even in January mild weather occurs frequently. During the summer,
the high temperatures are associated with fair skies, westerly winds, and low humidity’s. Average
high and low temperatures range from 37 F in January to 98 F in August. Rainfall occurs
throughout the year, but usually occurs more frequently during the night and also during the
spring. Usually, periods of rainy weather last for only a day or two, and are followed by several
days with fair skies. Moderate hail may occur on about two or three days a year, only causing
slight and scattered damage. However, windstorms occurring during thunderstorm activity may
be destructive. Snowfall is rare. The average length of the warm seasons (freeze-free period) is
about 249 days, or about 8 months. Thus, the local climate is very conducive of real estate
development.
The area's topography is basically level in the northern sector to gently rolling in the southern
portion. The rolling terrain of the southern sector is due to a geologic formation known as the
escarpment. This escarpment consists of a chalky soil that rests on top of shales causing unstable
building foundations. The shale soil presents shrink-swell problems for the foundations of
buildings that are constructed on it, and the chalk is an unstable soil that crumbles easily, resulting
in minor landslides.
Transportation
As stated above, on a national basis, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is centrally located, which
has resulted in the development of a major transportation network that connects the Metroplex
with the rest of the country. This network consists of major thoroughfares, railroad lines and air
carriers. In regards to roadways, the Dallas/Fort Worth region is located at the convergence of
four Interstate Highways: north-south access is provided by Interstate Highways 35 and 45 (IH-
35 and IH-45); east-west access is provided by IH-20 and IH-30. Two major outer loops provide
internal accessibility to the region. LBJ Freeway (IH-635) surrounds Dallas, and IH-820
encompasses Fort Worth. Both of these arteries connect with the interstate highways as well as
local streets, thus affording the cities regional as well as internal access. In recent years, greater
access and mobility have been expanded to the Metroplex’s surrounding communities. The
President George Bush Toll Road (SH-190) is a loop encircling IH-635 that connects IH-30 in
Garland/Rockwall to IH-20 in Grand Prairie traversing the communities of Rowlett, Mesquite,
Garland, Richardson, Plano, Carrollton, Coppell, Irving, Arlington and Grand Prairie. Additionally,
the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) recently opened the Chisholm Trail Parkway
connecting the Downtown Fort Worth Business District with communities to the south including
Benbrook, Crowley, Joshua and connecting with SH-67 in Cleburne.
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 14
Two additional toll roads which serve the Metroplex are the Dallas North Tollway and the Sam
Rayburn Tollway (SRT). SH-121(located north of SH-190) has expanded to incorporate and
become the SRT. While SH-121 continues to run east-west from Fort Worth to McKinney
connecting DFW Airport to other areas of the Metropolitan area, the SRT has provided a larger
artery for traffic to flow between the communities of Grapevine, Coppell, Carrollton, Plano, Frisco,
Allen and McKinney. The Dallas North Tollway connects downtown Dallas to the rapidly growing
areas of Frisco and Prosper. The Sam Rayburn Tollway connects central Collin County to the
vicinity of the DFW International Airport.
Reference may be made to Mobility 2040 which was adopted by the Regional Transportation
Council in March of 2016. This long range strategic plan aims to define the vision for the Region’s
transportation system and identify solutions and options. The goals of the plan are to improve
mobility, quality of life, and air quality concerns for the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth as well as
the surrounding areas. In addition, properties located along or near new or improved
thoroughfares should benefit from this plan through better access and exposure. It is worthy to
note that the region is also serviced by multiple public transportation services including bus, rail
and light rail. These services include Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), DART Light Rail, the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA or The T), the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), and the
Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA).
In addition to the various modes of ground transportation, the Metroplex is serviced by a major
international airport as well as several other local and regional airports. D/FW International Airport,
located midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, has the 2nd largest land area of any other airport
in the nation with 17,207 acres and the fourth largest in the world. In 2016, D/FW was responsible
for 65,670,697 passengers reaching their destinations, making it the world’s 11th busiest airport
in number of passengers, with service provided by 9 international and 11 domestic airlines. As of
December 2018 DFW Airport provides transportation to more than 244 destinations including 62
international and 182 domestic destinations with the number of daily flights just under 3,000
including passenger and freight. Additionally, DFW is one of 3 domestic airports and 11 globally
providing service to more than 200 destinations around the world.
The City of Dallas owns and operates Dallas Love Field. The airfield is located six miles northwest
of the downtown central business district and is managed by the City's Department of Aviation.
Southwest Airlines is the predominant user of Love Field; however, Alaska Airlines and Delta
Airlines also utilize Love Field. In 1963, several airlines had all agreed to seek full repeal of the
Wright Amendment; which restricted direct flights to other states from Love Field. In 2008, the
airport handled approximately 8,060,000 passengers. On October 13, 2014, the Wright
Amendment had been repealed and new non-stop service to several cities began. This has led
to significant increases in passenger traffic. Southwest Airlines added numerous other cities in
the beginning of 2015. In 2016, the airport handled approximately 15,563,000 passengers. To
accommodate the increase in traffic construction on a new parking garage was constructed and
opened in 2018.

Commercial air freight service is provided to the region by the Alliance International Centre which
is the first development of its type in the world. This Fort Worth based facility comprises a 3,000-
acre cargo airport/industrial park. Meacham Field (Fort Worth), Addison Airport (North Dallas) and
several other municipal airports, provide for the area’s general aviation needs.
Social
According to The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition, social forces studied by appraisers
primarily relate to population characteristics. Because the demographic composition of the
population reveals the potential demand for real estate, proper analysis and interpretation of
demographic trends are required. Real property values are affected not only by population
changes and characteristics, but also by the entire spectrum of human activity. The total
population, its composition by age and gender, and the rate of household formation and
dissolution strongly influence real property values. Social forces are also manifest in attitudes
toward education, law and order, and lifestyle options. This section of the report will identify all
social forces that may have an effect on the value of the subject property.
According to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) 2023 population
estimates, North Central Texas estimated that the region had added approximately 161,433 new
residents between 2022 and 2023 for a total population of 8,284,892. A chart detailing the
individual county growth rates is located below included the most recent year over year data.
The estimated January 1, 2023, population for the NCTCOG region is 8,284,892. Last year the
region added 161,433 people, over 4,000 more residents than were added in 2021. Fort Worth
(18,943) added more population than any other city, almost double compared to the next closest
city. Celina (9,787), Frisco (7,602), Arlington (5,861) and Mansfield (5,245) round out the top 5
growth cities. For the second straight year, Collin County added more than 40,000 new residents
while Denton County and Tarrant County each added over 30,000 new people. Since 2020,
453,000 new residents now call north Texas home.”

Economic
Economic forces have a direct and obvious effect on property values. The condition of an area's
economy in great measure determines the growth or decline of the population, as well as its
purchasing power, which affect the demand for goods and services. If an area's economy is in a
growth stage, construction of new housing, retail centers and expansions of employment centers
occur to accommodate the needs of the population. Conversely, as the unemployment rate rises
because of an area's declining economy, some residents move from the area, and those who
remain may have decreased disposable incomes, both of which result in a diminished demand
for housing as well as goods and services. As occupancy rates for housing, retail facilities, and
employment centers decrease, demand for new construction either decreases or may even cease
altogether. Characteristics that are considered to be demand-oriented include employment levels,
the number and size of basic industries, and the availability of mortgage credit. Economic
characteristics that are considered to be supply-oriented include the stock of available vacant and
improved properties, occupancy rates, and rental rates.
Apartment markets continue to fare better than expected, with occupancy and rents improving in
most Texas metros. According to the 2nd Quarter 2023 CoStar analytics report, the Dallas/Fort
Worth area apartment asking rent has increased approximately 2.2% (YOY). Additionally, CoStar
reports “Multifamily demand is recovering in Dallas-Fort Worth and in an encouraging signal that
more households are willing to sign new leases. Even so, the multifamily market remains
challenged as the market has weathered weak demand as elevated economic uncertainty sowed
by stubborn inflation weigh on household formation. In turn, vacancy rates are shifting higher and
rent growth is weakening. The market vacancy rate has shifted higher from 4.9% at the end of
2021 to 8.7% through the second quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, rent growth downshifted, turning
negative at -0.4%.” Furthermore, “the pace of construction in Dallas-Fort Worth remains
manageable even as the market ranks among the top spots for construction with 58,000 units
under way, translating to 6.9% of inventory. Development activity is concentrated in Collin and
Denton counties and parts of Fort Worth, tracing robust population growth in the region. While
many peer markets will face acute supply side pressure through the near term, Dallas-Fort Worth
should be relatively well insulated. In turn, vacancies and rent growth are expected to recover
more quickly compared to others in the southeast.”
The D/FW Metroplex has an excellent transportation network, a good central U.S. location, and a
relatively low cost of living compared to other parts of the U.S., which attracts major corporate
employers. D/FW is a major product distribution center and it is a major trade hub with Mexico
and other sectors across Latin America. The Emerging Trends in Real Estate markets-to-watch
survey for 2018 revealed the Dallas/Fort Worth market as the number-five market to watch. The
area is considered to continue strong growth due to projected population increases and corporate
relocations. Multiple survey respondents and interviewees mentioned the strong job growth
driving the local economy. (Emerging Trends in Real Estate, United States and Canada 2018,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Urban Land Institute). D/FW is also known for its large
technology influence, and provides business services such as advertising, data processing,

telecommunications, and other computer services. As mentioned previously, the transportation
industry will continue to play an important part of the economy, due to D/FW International Airport’s
large influence.
According to the NCTCOG Forecast 2040, total employment for the region is anticipated to grow
in excess of 2,750,000 jobs between 2010 and 2040. Dallas County alone is expected to
encounter over 1.3 million new jobs during this time period accounting for more than 45% of the
projected growth. Collin and Denton counties will account for 18% of the region’s total growth by
adding approximately 314,000 and 196,000 new jobs respectively between 2010 and 2040.
Tarrant County is anticipated to add approximately 713,000 new jobs during this time period as
well. Employment is expected to increase tremendously over the next 20+ years which will only
continue to contribute to the growing economy of the region. The following page contains an
economic snapshot of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan District (Dallas, Tarrant,
Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Johnson, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, Wise, Parker, Hood, and Somervell
Counties). This information was provided by the Texas Workforce Commission from their August
2023 Economic Profiles and is currently the most recent available.

Governmental
Although the Metroplex is governed by state and county agencies, the most direct influence on
properties lies with the municipalities. The majority of the cities within the nine county area have
council-manager forms of government. County and city governments are financed by a
combination of property taxes, sales taxes, and miscellaneous taxes, fees, and fines. Property
taxes are collected by the various taxing districts based upon market value assessments
determined each year by county appraisal districts. No personal or corporate income taxes are
levied by any city or county in the CMSA. The state of Texas does impose Franchise Taxes which
are an indirect form of corporate income tax.
The City of Dallas has a council-manager form of government with the mayor selected at-large,
14 single member district council members, and one city manager. In a council-city management
form of government, council members represent the people in their geographic districts. The City
Manager is responsible to the council for the administration of business policies that the council
has established. Services provided by the city include complete fire protection, police protection,
water, sewer and garbage disposal. Electric service is provided by Oncor Electric Company while
natural gas is provided by Atmos Energy. Telephone service is provided by AT&T. Fort Worth,
like Dallas, utilizes a Council-City Management form of government. The Fort Worth City Council
consists of an appointed City Manager, an at-large elected mayor and eight council members.
The City manager is the Chief Administrator of the city and is appointed by and accountable to
the council. Also, like Dallas, water, sanitation, sewer services, and police and fire protection, as
well as street and bridge maintenance are all provided by the City government. The other utility
carriers of electricity, gas and telephone are all provided by the companies serving Dallas.
Conclusion
Total Nonfarm employment increased by 16,700 positions in August to reach a job count of
13,979,100. This marked the 23rd consecutive series high as employment expanded in 39 of the
last 40 months. As of August 2023, employment grew by 1,007,800 jobs since the February 2020
prepandemic level. Since August 2022, the job count rose by 402,000 positions while the annual
growth rate slowed for the 10th time in 12 months, to 3.0 percent. The private sector added
346,700 positions over this same timeframe as all 11 major industries achieved positive annual
growth for the 23rd consecutive period.
Government sector employment expanded by 12,100 jobs over the month in August. Local
Government employment mostly drove the increase with 10,400 positions added while Federal
Government employment contributed 1,100 and State Government rose by 600. After a revised
July increase of 12,200 positions, Leisure and Hospitality added 9,100 over the month in August.
The Accommodation and Food Services sector added 6,300 jobs and Arts, Entertainment, and
Recreation contributed 2,800. Following three consecutive monthly losses, Other Services had
the largest monthly increase since July 2022 with 5,000 positions added as the industry reached
a series high 477,000 jobs.

The Texas unemployment rate was 4.1 percent for the fourth consecutive month in August. It
declined 8.7 points compared to April 2020 when it peaked at 12.8 due to COVID-19 and
measures taken to slow its spread. The rate rose annually by four-tenths of a point. The U.S. rate
rose threetenths of a point over the month from 3.5 in July to 3.8 in August. The rate increased
annually by 0.1 point and declined by 10.9 compared to April 2020.
The Texas civilian labor force grew by 33,500 over the month. The number of employed increased
for a 12th consecutive month, including an August increase of 24,300, while the unemployed rose
by 9,200. The U.S. civilian labor force added 736,000 individuals over the month, which marked
the largest increase since January 2023.
As illustrated in the recent statistics, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metroplex continues to be
one of the fastest growing areas of the United States. This trend is expected to continue in the
future and through the year 2030, as population is expected to reach 9.1 million. More employers
are expected to migrate to D/FW, and therefore provide an increased number of jobs. Dallas/Fort
Worth accounts for over 30 percent of the State’s gross regional product and is a national leader
in the creation of new jobs, corporate relocations, and technology-related businesses. One of the
primary factors in maintaining this employment growth is excellent access to the area provided
by a well-developed highway system and D/FW International Airport, as well as an extensive rail
transportation system. Since the late 1990s, the D/FW economy has shown good signs of growth
and stability. Many experts are guardedly optimistic about the current economic outlook as it

compares favorably to a softening national economy and the last two years of erratic energy
prices. Dallas/Fort Worth is larger today in population than 27 states, and is a major economic,

CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
A neighborhood is defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition, published by the
Appraisal Institute, as a group of complementary land uses. 4 Land uses within a neighborhood
are not necessarily homogeneous, as in a district, but are related in that property values are
affected by the same factors. Neighborhood boundaries identify the physical area that influences
the value of a subject property. These boundaries may coincide with observable changes in
prevailing land use or occupant characteristics. Physical features such as the type of structures,
street patterns, terrain, vegetation, and lot sizes tend to identify land use districts. Transportation
arteries, bodies of water, and changing elevation can also be significant boundaries. To identify
the neighborhood boundaries, we have followed the following four steps (summarized), as
recommended within The Appraisal of Real Estate: 1) Examine the subject property; 2) Examine
the area's physical characteristics, 3) Determine preliminary boundaries on a map; and 4)
Determine how well the preliminary boundaries correspond to the demographic data. 5

Subject Property
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 23
The following neighborhood description will include a definition of the boundaries of the subject
neighborhood, a discussion of the primary thoroughfares, types of improvements along these
thoroughfares, the density of development, secondary street infrastructure, and a discussion of
the type of commercial uses within the neighborhood. The subject neighborhood, as defined
herein, is considered to be the immediate competing trade area for the subject property, taking
into account the various types of land uses present or reasonably probable in the neighborhood,
patterns and rates of growth, traffic patterns and density, and the density of land use, among other
factors considered in the previously suggested steps. All of these factors are considered
influential in the determination of the value of the subject.
Neighborhood Boundaries
The subject site is physically located along the east line of Audra Lane, north of Rustling Oak
Drive and has a municipal address of 1422 Audra Lane, Denton, Texas. The neighborhood is
defined as the city limits of Denton. The neighborhood has good accessibility given its proximity
to Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W and the major transportation nodes.
Location
The subject property is located in the City of Denton, Texas, in Denton County. The site is heavily
influenced by the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex. The subject property is located approximately
30-35 miles northwest of the Dallas Central Business District. Primary access to and from Denton
is provided by IH-35W from Fort Worth and IH-35E from Dallas. Major thoroughfares surrounding
Denton include Loop 288 to the north and east of Denton, and IH-35 to the south and west.
North/south access through Denton is provided by U.S. Highway 77 while major east/west
thoroughfares include McKinney, Oak, and Hickory Streets as well as University Drive.

Subject Property
Topography
The topography of the subject tract is generally level and is best described as being at street
grade. Furthermore, the topography should not limit the use of the property.
Environmental Concerns
The existence of any hazardous substances or materials was not observed upon the physical
inspection of the tract. However, we are not qualified to detect these substances. It should be
noted that the opinions of value found within this report are contingent upon the subject property
being free of any hazardous wastes deposited thereupon by the present or previous
owners/tenants of the sites, which would adversely affect the value of the property.
Flood Zone
Our analysis of flood plain considerations was conducted through a review of Community-Panel
Number 48121C0380G, dated April 18, 2011 as prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program. A copy of the FEMA map for
the subject property is located following this paragraph. After careful inspection of the property
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.

and analysis of flood plain maps, it appears that none of the subject property lies within the 100
year flood plain.
Subject Property
Soils
Strict attention should be taken to the soils, insofar as preliminary site work preparation and
excavation is concerned, as damage may occur to improvements if proper precautions are not
undertaken. However, these soil characteristics are very common throughout the region and
should not seriously hinder the development potential of the site, provided proper site preparation
and planning is undertaken. Based upon the extent of development in the subject neighborhood,
there is no anticipated difficulty with improvements built upon these subsoil conditions, assuming
proper design and workmanship.

Easements
The subject tracts appear to be encumbered by typical utility easements. We were not furnished,
and it is beyond the defined scope of our assignment to obtain title work for the subject property.
For purposes of this analysis we are assuming that only typical utility easements exist and that
they would not, and/or have not adversely affected development of the subject property. If this
assumption is not correct it could necessitate re-analysis However, in addition to typical utility
easements, located in the most western portion of the subject property, approximately 0.0344
acres (1,500 square feet) (measurements taken via Google Earth) of the subject property is
located within an existing prescriptive right of way.

TAX ANALYSIS
The Texas legislature has provided for a unified system of taxation for the assessment and
collection of real property taxes. In each county an appraisal district is established for the purpose
of listing and assessing all real estate within the county. Real property is presumably assessed at
100 percent of market value. Once the taxable value of the property is established by the appraisal
district, each of the individual taxing authorities within the county set their own tax rates. The
subject property is assessed by the Denton CAD. The following table depicts the taxing
jurisdictions and historical property tax rates pertaining to the subject property:
As the above table indicates, the overall tax rate for property located within this portion of Denton
County have been decreasing by 4.40 percent per year during the five year period. Tax rates are
anticipated to remain relatively flat in subsequent years. The subject account number and 2023
assessed value are as follows:
The tax summary reflects the land and improvements of the subject tract, which has a 2023
certified assessed value of $323,233. Based on a taxable value of $323,233, and a 2023 tax rate
of $1.909367/$100 of assessed value, the subject property has a tax expense of $6,172.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
The economic principles which affect the market value of real property also play a significant role
in forming the property's highest and best use. In all valuation assignments, value opinions are
based upon use. The highest and best use of a property provides the foundation for a thorough
investigation of the competitive positions of market participants. Consequently, highest and best
use can be described as the foundation upon which market value rests. The highest and best use
of a property is defined as follows:
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. 7
With regard to retail development, the highest and best use is generally regarded as that use
among all reasonable, alternative uses, which yields the highest present land value, after
payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination. It is to be recognized that in cases where
a site has existing improvements on it, the highest and best use may very well be determined to
be different from the existing use.
Analysis of the highest and the best use of a property as improved implies that the existing
improvement should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the
total market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than
offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one. Furthermore, the
existing use will continue, unless and until land value in its highest and best use exceeds the total
value of the property in its existing use.
Implied within this definition is recognition of the contribution of that specific use to community
environment or to community development goals in addition to wealth maximization of individual
property owners. In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the
premise upon which value is based. In the context of most probable selling price (market value)
another appropriate term to reflect highest and best use would be most probable use. The most
probable use is defined as follows:
1) The use to which a property will most likely be put based on market analysis and
the highest and best use conclusion. The most probable use is the basis for the
most probable selling price of the property
2) Highest and best use in the context of market value. 8

TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 43
To test for the most feasible or the highest and best use for land as vacant all logical and feasible
alternatives must be analyzed. All alternative uses must meet four criteria. The criteria are as
follows:
1) The legal use of the site – what uses of the site are permitted under applicable
zoning ordinances and other legal restrictions.
2) The physical use of the site – what potential uses of the site are physically
possible.
3) The feasible use of the site – what possible and legally permissible use of the site
will produce a positive return.
4) The maximum productive use of the site – among the highest financially feasible
uses, the use that provides the highest rate of return, or value (given a constant
rate of return), is the highest and best use.
While some investors/developers seek to maximize their returns, most seem to operate on the
belief that the available information is too imperfect to permit optimization or maximization. It
appears that the typical investor is satisfied if their investment can be expected to return a yield
that will meet their standards. Thus, it is possible for more than one single use to be feasible for
a site if the uses meet an investment criteria of the typical investor/developer for a property.
Generally accepted professional appraisal practice dictates that in appraising improved property,
the highest and best use be estimated under two different premises. First, the highest and best
use of the site “as vacant and available” must be estimated. The second analysis estimates the
highest and best use of the property “as improved or proposed to be improved.”
Highest and Best Use of the Site As If Vacant
The first question to be answered, What uses are legally permissible? requires a review of the
zoning restrictions applicable to the site. As indicated in the Zoning and Land Use Restrictions
section of this report, the tract is currently zoned R2- Residential by the City of Denton. Given the
permitted uses under the current zoning ordinances, a residential development is considered to
be a legally permissible use of the site.
Addressing the second question, What uses of the site are physically possible? requires a
review of the physical characteristics of the site. The subject tract is irregular in shape and is
physically located along the east line of Audra Lane, north of Rustling Oak Drive and has a
municipal address of 1422 Audra Lane, Denton, Texas. The subject property consists of 0.3740
acres. The size of a parcel of land is important in terms of feasible development alternatives, and,
ultimately, the value of the land. Optimal size is that which allows the highest marginal returns on
investment after development. A tract of land which is too large is worth more in subdivided parcels
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 44
whereas a tract which is too small for development is worth more when combined with contiguous
sites. A less than optimally sized small tract may be further constrained if contiguous tracts are
currently developed to their highest and best use. In such a case, assemblage may not be a viable
alternative. The immediate surrounding area is predominantly vacant land/residential uses.
This 0.3740 acre site would be physically feasible to develop due to its shape and size. The site
is generally level which is beneficial for most residential development. The site does not appear
to be affected by adverse easements or encroachments. None of the subject is located within the
flood plain. Furthermore, the topography of the site does not significantly limit its use. Therefore,
the highest and best use of the subject would be residential development.
Therefore, based on shape and the surrounding land uses, it is our reasoned opinion that
development for residential use is the most likely potential use of the site.
Answering the third and fourth questions, What uses are financially feasible? and What uses
are maximally productive? requires an analysis of potential income based on demand that could
be expected from all physically possible and legally permissible uses.
Upon inspection of the surrounding neighborhood, there has been a large amount of new
residential development within the immediate vicinity of the subject. The current land sales within
the subject neighborhood have been acquired for either speculative investments or residential
development. Given the subject’s location and surrounding land uses, residential use appears to
be the most likely potential use of the site and is considered to be financially feasible. Therefore,
the highest and best use of the site is for residential development.

THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
The appraisal process represents a logical analysis of the factors that bear upon the present value
of real estate. In this process, three basic approaches are typically used by appraisers: 1) the
Cost Approach, 2) the Income Capitalization Approach, and 3) the Sales Comparison Approach.
The Cost Approach is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more
than the cost of producing a substitute property with the same utility as the subject. First, the
subject's site is valued (as if vacant) by comparing it to the sale of similar sites using the Direct
Sales Comparison Approach. The reproduction cost new is then estimated for the subject
improvements, and from this, an amount is deducted for depreciation from all causes to arrive at
a value via the Cost Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would
pay no more for a property than the cost to him of acquiring a similar property with the same utility.
In this approach, similar properties that have recently sold are compared to the subject. Notable
differences in the utilized comparables are adjusted to the subject in the process. Comparisons
are made and are typically based upon the terms of sale, age, location, size, financing, and
physical characteristics. The adjustments are abstracted from and/or otherwise supported to
represent the actions of buyers and sellers in the market. The value range that is indicated by
the adjusted comparable sales is correlated or reconciled into a final value opinion via this
approach.
The Income Capitalization Approach is the process in which the anticipated flow of future benefits
(dollar income or amenities) is discounted to a present worth figure through a capitalization or
direct discount procedure. All expenses attributable to the real estate are deducted from an
effective gross income estimate to arrive at forecasts of applicable net income streams. The net
income streams are then "capitalized" or discounted into value by market abstracted rates. The
purpose of ownership is to generate income and provide to the owner a sufficient return on his/her
investment to make the purchase of such a property attractive.
The subject property consists of 0.3740 acres land improved with a 3,102 square foot single family
residence However, we determined that the use of the main improvements will not be affected by
the proposed acquisitions as the acquisitions are located a sufficient distance from the main
improvements and will not negatively affect internal circulation, drainage, ingress/egress, or utility
of the remainder. Therefore, we have provided the value of land via the Sales Comparison
Approach utilizing comparable land sales and a value of the site improvements affected by the
acquisition via the cost approach.
SECTION IV – LAND VALUATION
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 47
LAND VALUATION
“Sales comparison is usually the preferred methodology for developing an opinion of site value.
When this method is used, most of the techniques for selecting comparable sales and making
adjustments that are described in Chapter 20 [of The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition]
can be applied to site valuation. When there are not enough sales of similar parcels for the
application of sales comparison, alternative methods such as market extraction, allocation, land
residual analysis, and various income capitalization techniques may be used.” 9 All of these land
valuation procedures, which are summarized below, are derived from the three traditional
approaches to value.
– Sales Comparison – Sales of similar, vacant parcels are analyzed, compared, and adjusted to provide a value indication for the land being appraised.
– Market Extraction – An estimate of the contributory value of improvements is deducted from the total sale price of a property to arrive at an indicated land value for the comparable. The indicated land values of the comparables are then compared to
provide a value indication for the land being appraised.
– Allocation – A ratio of site value to property value is extracted from comparable sales in competitive locations and applied to the value of the improved subject property or comparable properties to develop the site value.
– Direct Capitalization: Land Residual Analysis – The net operating income attributable to the land is capitalized or the cost to construct an improvement is deducted from the value as if completed to produce an indication of the land’s contribution to the total property.
– Direct Capitalization: Ground Rent Capitalization – A market-derived capitalization rate is applied to the ground rent of the subject property.
– Yield Capitalization: Discounted Cash Flow Analysis-Subdivision Development Analysis – Direct and indirect costs and entrepreneurial incentive are deducted from an estimate of the anticipated gross sales price of the finished lots or units, and the net sales proceeds are discounted to present value at a market-derived rate over the
development and absorption period. If entrepreneurial incentive is not deducted as a line-item expense, then the discount rate must reflect the full effect of any profit.
When sufficient market data is available, the best method of site valuation is the Sales
Comparison Approach. This method calls for comparison weighing and relating sales data to the
site being appraised. The data can be analyzed and the indications of adjustments for time,
location, physical utility and conditions of sale, can then be applied so as to result in a meaningful
value opinion for the subject site. For a sale to be truly comparable, the highest and best use of
9 The Appraisal Institute, The Appraisal of Real Estate (Fifteenth Edition), Chicago, Illinois, 2020, pages 339.
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 48
the comparable land should be the same or similar to the appraised site. This is the method of
site valuation, which will be utilized in this report.
COMPARABLE LAND SALES PRESENTATION
The subject market was searched for sales of tracts of land most comparable to the subject. After
sales were selected for more analysis, the public records were researched and verification of the
details of the sales was obtained from parties knowledgeable concerning the sales. We then
analyzed the specific differences and made appropriate adjustments, abstracting these
adjustments from the market whenever possible. The final reconciliation of these adjusted sales
indicated a value of the subject property. A map depicting the location of the sales in comparison
to the subject property is located below.

LAND SALES ANALYSIS
The process of comparing similar market sales to the subject property is fundamental to the sales
comparison approach, and usually provides the most credible and reliable indication of value. If
a comparable property has an element of comparison that is superior to the subject property, a
downward adjustment is made to the comparable sale. If the element of comparison is inferior,
then an upward adjustment is made. The adjustment process is not an exact science. Experience,
knowledge and objectivity are required on the part of the appraiser for the application of the
appropriate level of adjustment. Competent analysis leads us to a narrow range of variance
among the adjusted comparable sales, and to a high degree of confidence in reconciliation. The
analyses of the adjustments we considered relevant are found in the following paragraphs.
Financing Terms
All of the comparable land sales were consummated with the sellers effectively receiving cash in
exchange for their consideration in the property; therefore, no adjustments were required for
advantageous seller financing.
Property Rights Conveyed
This adjustment involves the type of real property interest that is conveyed in a sales transaction.
All of the comparable transactions conveyed fee simple ownership rights; thus, no adjustments
were required for this factor.
Conditions of Sale
Adjustments for this item usually reflect the motivation of the buyer and seller involved with a
transaction. Adjustments would be necessary for transactions where the seller wants to quickly
liquidate his assets or where there is an atypical financial, business, friend or family relationship
between the principals involved which affect the selling price of the property. All of the
Comparables were reported to be arm's-length sales and did not involve any unusual conditions.
Thus, no adjustments are necessary for these sales.

Summary of Comparable Sales

23.1011 - C 55
Expenditures After Sale
This adjustment accounts for any expenses the purchaser of the property occurs immediately
after the purchase of the property. Some examples of these items could include environmental
clean-up, demolition costs, deferred maintenance, HVAC replacement/repair, renovations,
parking lot repair/replacement, cosmetic upgrades, etc... Adjustments for this item usually reflect
the motivation of the buyer and seller involved with a transaction. Adjustments would be
necessary for transactions where the buyer is aware that such expenditures after the sale must
occur in order to operate the property sufficiently. Any necessary adjustments for Expenditures
After Sale have been made within the individual Comparable write-ups. Therefore, no further
adjustments are necessary.
Market Conditions
This adjustment is generally made after the other transactional adjustments have been made
(property rights conveyed, financing, conditions of sale, and expenditures after sale). This
adjustment addresses potentially differing market conditions between the subject property (date
of appraisal), and the sales dates of the Comparables. As a test, the sales adjusted prices when
compared to the subject were chronologically arrayed by sale date and only adjusted for the
appropriate physical conditions in order to determine if adjustments for changing market
conditions is warranted.
The following table depicts the Price/Sq. Ft. for each comparable which has been adjusted for the
other transactional adjustments (property rights conveyed, financing, conditions of sale, and
expenditures after sale). The % Physical Adjustment column indicates the total adjustments made
for all physical characteristics (location, size, corner, utilities, topography zoning, flood plain, etc.)
as shown in the adjustment grid at the conclusion of this section of the report. The Adjusted
Price/Sq. Ft. is calculated by applying the % Physical Adjustment for each sale to its Price/Sq. Ft.
By analyzing the comparable sales adjusted prices per square foot after all other adjustments
have been made, trends in land prices over the time period may become apparent. However,
given the small sample size, the appraisers’ judgment is also relied upon based upon knowledge
gained from experience in the market over this time period.

Market Conditions Comparison
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 56
In closely analyzing the market Comparables, there is not a clear trend in sales prices over this
time period. However, market conditions within the area have been improving at a rate of
approximately 4 to 6 percent per year. Therefore, each Comparable will be adjusted upwards by
5 percent per year.
Location/Access
The axiom that “location is the most important physical characteristic of real estate” suggests that
this component warrants paramount consideration in the adjustment process. The subject
property is physically located along the east line of Audra Lane, north of Rustling Oak Drive and
has a municipal address of 1422 Audra Lane, Denton, Texas. All of the Comparables are
considered to have similar locations to the subject and will not be adjusted.
Size
The subject comprises 0.3740 acres or 16,292 square feet of land area. Typically, larger tracts
sell for less per unit than smaller sites. In reviewing market trends and the data set, the market
appears to recognize a difference in price for tracts substantially different in size. A market
observation witnessed throughout the Texas market area and most metropolitan areas in the
southwest supports an adjustment of five to fifteen percent for each halving/doubling in size. In
this instance a five percent adjustment for each halving/doubling in size will be utilized.
The following table illustrates the size adjustments based upon a market derived 5 percent
adjustment per each doubling/halving in size for the land market in the vicinity.

Corner
A tract of land with corner influence can, in many cases, command a higher price per unit than a
tract without corner influence. Corner influence typically becomes a more significant factor on
price with retail and commercial properties situated along two primary thoroughfares in
significantly developed urban areas. Given that the highest and best use of the subject is for
residential use, the presence of a corner does not influence value significantly. Therefore, no
adjustments are warranted.
Utilities
The next consideration is for the location and adequacy of utilities. The subject currently has
access to all utilities. All of the Comparables have similar access to utilities and will not be
adjusted.
Topography
This adjustment takes into consideration the topography (terrain) of the subject property and how
developable the site is. The subject has a generally level topography. All of the Comparables have
similar topographical considerations and no adjustments will be made.
Zoning
The zoning classification a property possesses dictates the legally permissible uses that a site
can be developed with, and hence, has a major influence on the value of a property. The subject
site is currently zoned R2 - Residential by the City of Denton. All of the Comparables have similar
zoning to the subject property and will not be adjusted.
Flood Plain
The next consideration is for the adverse influence of a tract being situated within the 100- or 500-
year flood plain. None of the subject tract lies in the 100-year flood plain. All of the Comparables
are located outside of the flood plain and will not be adjusted.

Easements
Approximately 0.0344 acres (1,500 square feet) (measurements taken via Google Earth) of the
subject property is located within an existing prescriptive right of way. However, this portion of
the analysis is based on the premise that no part of the subject property lies within an existing
easement that is not typical of the market area. Additionally, the portion of the subject property
that lies within the existing prescriptive right of way dedication will be addressed within the
reconciliation.

All of the Comparables had a mean of $7.08 per square foot, while the mean of data without high
and low extremes is $7.38 per square foot, and the data with the least absolute adjustments (<=
5%) had a mean of $6.93 per square foot. Therefore, giving primary emphasis to the data without
high and low extremes, a market value opinion of $7.00 per square foot is considered to be
reasonable for the subject tract. Furthermore, located in the most western portion of the subject
property, approximately 0.0344 acres (1,500 square feet) (measurements taken via Google Earth)
of the subject property is located within an existing prescriptive right of way. This prescriptive right
of way will be valued based upon apparent rights remaining to the landowner. In order to estimate
the value of the remaining rights of this portion of the subject, the Easement Valuation Matrix
(depicted below) will be used as a guide for allocating value of the fee simple interest for this
prescriptive right of way. This exhibit was provided by an article entitled “Easement Valuation” by
Donald Sherwood, SR/WA, published in the November/December 2014 edition of Right of Way
Magazine.
The existing prescriptive right of way leaves virtually no use rights to the property owner outside
of being able to include this area in the setback and land area requirements. Therefore, a discount
at the upper end of the range listed in the matrix would be necessary as there are virtually no
other conceivable uses remaining for the landowner. This prescriptive right of way is estimated to
encumber 90 percent of the use rights/value of this portion of the tract. As such, the remaining 10
percent of the use rights/fee simple value of this portion of the tract remains with the current
landowner. Therefore, an adjustment of 90 percent will be utilized for the difference in the value
of land located within the prescriptive right of way, compared to land that is not located within the
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 61
prescriptive right-of-way. This results in a market value opinion of $0.70 per square foot ($7.00
PSF x (1 - 90%) = $0.70 PSF) for the portion of the subject located within the existing prescriptive
right of way (0.0344 acres (1,500 square feet). Thus, the total market value opinion of the whole
subject property, as of the effective date of the appraisal, is calculated as follows:
0.3396 acres (14,792 SF) x $7.00/SF = $103,544
0.0344 acres (1,500 SF) x $0.70/SF = $1,050
0.3740 acres (16,292 SF) $104,594
Additionally, the subject property is improved with site improvements (concrete paving and wood
fencing) which lie within the acquisition area. Based upon our measurements taken via Google
Earth, the total area of the concrete pavement located within the proposed right of way dedication
is 150 square feet and approximately 45 linear feet of wood fencing is located within the proposed
right of way dedication. Therefore, the contributory value of the site improvements (concrete
paving and wood fencing) that are located in the proposed acquisition will be added to the value
of the land to arrive at a value opinion of the whole property.
According to Pavecon, the replacement cost of concrete paving is approximately $11.00/SF. Upon
including an entrepreneurial profit incentive of 20 percent, total replacement cost new for the
concrete paving is to $13.20/SF. Approximately 150 square feet of concrete is located in the
proposed right of way dedication; therefore, total replacement cost new is $1,980(150 SF x
$13.20/SF cost). The concrete is of good quality and is in good condition and is considered to
have an effective age of 15 years and useful life of 30 years. Therefore, depreciation has been
estimated to be 50 percent of replacement costs new (15 year age 30 year life), which equates
to $990 ($1,980 x 0.50) for the concrete paving within the proposed right of way dedication.
According to JLL Fencing, the total replacement cost for wood fencing is $33.25 per linear foot.
Upon including an entrepreneurial profit incentive of 20 percent, total replacement cost new for
the landscaping is $39.90 per linear foot. Based upon aerial measurements taken via Google
Earth, approximately 45 linear feet of wood fencing is located within the proposed right of way
dedication. Thus, the total replacement cost for the wood fencing is $1,796 (45 LF x $39.90 PSF).
The wood fencing is of good quality and is in good condition and is considered to have an effective
age of 15 years and useful life of 30 years. Therefore, depreciation has been estimated to be 50
percent of replacement costs new (15 year age 30 year life), which equates to $898 ($1,796 x
0.50) for the wood fencing within the proposed right of way dedication.
Upon adding the estimated depreciated value of the subject improvements ($1,888 = $990 +
$898) and the land value ($104,594), a market value of the whole property via the Cost Approach
of $106,482 results.
SECTION V - VALUATION CONCLUSION
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 63
FINAL OPINION OF VALUE
The subject property consists of 0.732 acres (16,292 square feet) of land improved with a 3,102
square foot single family residence. Therefore, the market value of the whole property before the
proposed acquisitions as of the effective date of appraisal (November 9, 2023) was:
"As Is" Market Value of the Whole Property ($106,482)
VALUE OF THE PARTS TO BE ACQUIRED
The portion of the site from which property rights are proposed to be acquired by the City of
Denton involves a 0.0526 acre (2,293 square foot) right of way dedication.
Value of Proposed Right of way dedication:
The portion of the site from which the proposed right of way dedication is being taken is 0.0526
acres (2,293 square feet). The easement acquisition will encumber all of the property rights of the
land (fee simple interest) comprising the easement. The Easement Valuation Matrix located as
follows provides a guide for allocating value of the fee simple interest between the easement
estate (dominant estate) and the landowner’s estate (servient estate) of the remaining portion of
the proposed acquisition. This exhibit was provided by an article entitled “Valuation of Easements”
by Donald Sherwood, SR/WA, published in the November/December 2014 edition of Right of Way
Magazine.
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
23.1011 - C 64
The easement will be used for street/right of way purposes. This easement is assumed to permit
ingress/egress by the property owner after the acquisition; however, the owner would not be
permitted to construct vertical improvements within the easement area. The easement is not
located across a non-usable area of the tract. Furthermore, given its proposed use as a right of
way dedication, all property rights will be conveyed to the City of Denton. Further, located in the
most western portion of the proposed acquisition, approximately 0.0344 acres (1,500 square feet)
(measurements taken via Google Earth) of the proposed acquisition is located within an existing
prescriptive right of way. The existing prescriptive right of way leaves virtually no use rights to the
property owner outside of being able to include this area in the setback and land area
requirements and as previously discussed, has been valued at approximately $0.70 per square
foot. Thus, the total value of the proposed right of way dedication located within the existing
prescriptive right of way is $1,050 ($0.70 PSF x 1,500 SF). Furthermore, utilizing the easement
valuation matrix above as a guide, the remaining portion of the proposed right of way located
outside the existing prescriptive right of way dedication is considered to comprise 100 percent of
the fee simple value of the encumbered land. Thus, the total value of the proposed right of way
located outside the existing prescriptive right of way is $5,551 ($7.00 PSF x 793 SF). Therefore,
the total land value of the proposed right of way dedication is $6,601 ($5,551 + $1,050)
Lastly, the value of the site improvements (concrete paving and wood fencing) located in the
easement acquisition area will be included in the total value of the acquisition and were estimated
previously to contribute $1,888 Therefore, the value of the street easement acquisition totals:
$6,601 (land value) + $1,888 (site improvements) = $8,489

DAMAGES/ENHANCEMENTS
State law requires that enhancements to a remainder property in a condemnation acquisition be
determined and used as an offset to any damages to the remainder property to calculate net
damages. The highest and best use is for residential development of the site. The proposed
acquisition does not damage the remainder of the site. Thus, the highest and best use after the
proposed acquisition is residential development. Furthermore, the improvements are considered
to be a sufficient distance from the proposed acquisition; therefore, it is determined that there are
no net damages to the improvements or the remainder property. State law requires that
enhancements to a remainder property in a condemnation acquisition be determined and used
as an offset to any damages to the remainder property to calculate net damages. No
enhancements are evident as a result of this project to the subject property.
COSTS TO CURE
Costs to cure involve the contributory value of the site improvements taken and costs to relocate
site improvements which can be salvaged. After the proposed acquisition, wood fencing will need
to be reconstructed to restore the property in a similar condition to prior the proposed acquisition.
The following table depicts the cost to cure the subject property.

If the presence of such substances, such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde, foam insulation, or other hazardous substances or environmental conditions, may affect the value of the property, the value estimated is predicated on the assumption that there is not such condition on or in the property or in such proximity thereto that it would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, nor for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is urged to retain an expert in the field of environmental impacts upon real estate if so desired.
11) This appraisal is based on the assumption that the use of the land and improvements is within the boundaries of the subject property and there is no trespass or encroachment unless otherwise noted in the report.
12) The distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only under the existing program of utilization. The separate valuations for land and building must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
13) Possession of this report or any copy thereof does not carry with it the right of publication, nor may it be used for other than its intended use. The Bylaws and Regulations of the Appraisal Institute require each Member and Candidate to control the use and distribution of each appraisal report signed by such Member or Candidate; this appraisal report shall not be given to third parties without the prior written consent of the signatory of this appraisal report. Neither all nor any part of this appraisal report shall be disseminated to the general public by use of advertising media, public relations, news, sales or other media for public communication without the prior written consent of the appraisers.

14) The appraisers are not obligated to provide any other services, including but not limited to, testimony in court or before any other body charged with interpretation of enforcement of the appraisal.
15) No portion of the appraisal may be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the appraisers. The validity of the appraisal is expressly conditioned upon consideration of its entirety.
16) Due to the nature of real estate valuation and the complexities of external and internal factors which dictate the market value of any real estate, and the rapid changes and fluctuations with respect to the valuation of real estate, the opinion of the appraisers set forth in the appraisal concerning the market value of the property is reliable as of the effective date and should not be considered as reliable at any time thereafter.
17) The appraisers make no guarantee or warranty, whether implied or expressed, concerning the market value set forth in the appraisal. The appraisal merely sets forth the appraisers opinion of such market value based upon information obtained by the appraisers and assumptions made by the appraisers with respect to the property.
18) The appraisers assume no responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need for flood hazard insurance. An agent for the Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for flood hazard insurance.
19) Subsurface Rights (minerals and oil) were not considered in this appraisal unless otherwise specifically stated.
20) The State of Texas does not have full disclosure laws regarding real estate transactions. Therefore, the appraisers necessarily confirmed all sales and rental comparables with brokers, property managers, mortgage brokers, grantors, grantees and other parties familiar with the transaction. The appraiser’s data is limited by the accuracy of the information supplied by the aforementioned individuals. Whenever possible, the information was verified by county records.
21) The value conclusion within this report is contingent upon the site being in full compliance with city codes, and that no contamination has occurred at the site. A Phase I Environmental Study was not provided, and the appraisers accept no responsibility as to the current status of property with respect to environmental contaminants. It is recommended that if a Phase I study has not been performed, that an expert in this field be engaged to identify any hazardous materials and substances existing on the property.
22) It is assumed there is full compliance with all requirements of Title III, of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which became effective January 26, 1992 unless non-compliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report. No responsibility is assumed by the appraisers for any such conditions, or for any expertise or architectural/design knowledge and cost required to identify such non-compliance.
23) As used in professional appraisal practice the term “inspection” is “a personal observation of the exterior and/or interior of the real property that is the subject of an assignment. The purpose of an appraiser’s inspection is to identify the property characteristics that are relevant to the assignment, such as amenities, general physical condition, and functional utility.” Inspection is considered a term of art in the appraisal profession and does not have the same meaning as it might have in other professions such as engineering or architecture or in other design or construction related professions. Additionally, it does not infer any obligation to investigate.
24) Hypothetical Condition: According to the 2020-2023 USPAP, 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.” There were no hypothetical conditions utilized within this report.
25) Extraordinary Assumption: According to the 2020-2023 USPAP, 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.” An extraordinary assumption has been made that the acquisitions by the City of Denton will not permanently limit ingress/egress to and from the subject property. The use of this assumption could affect the results of this assignment and if found to be incorrect could necessitate re-analysis.
