IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY
The subject property is located approximately 800 feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles
south of Jim Christal Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas. The subject has a municipal address of 990
Tom Cole Road, Ponder, Texas. According to the Denton County Deed Records (Doc. 2012-147184) and
the survey provided by Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc., the subject property consists of land
comprising a total of 6.2000 acres (270,072 square feet). According to the surveys provided by Pacheco
Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc., the portion of the site to be acquired is a 0.0193 acre (840 square foot)
tract for right-of-way use. According to aerial photographs and the Denton CAD, the subject is currently
improved with a concrete slab and gravel paving. It should be noted that approximately 180 square feet of
gravel paving are located within the proposed acquisition. However, neither the concrete slab nor the gravel
paving contribute value to the property. This portion of the subject property is being acquired for the
construction of traffic lanes and shoulders on SL 288. The proposed acquisition is located a sufficient
distance from the main improvements and will not negatively affect drainage, ingress/egress, or utility of
the subject remainder. Additionally, this appraisal report pertains to real property only, and any personal
property located upon the subject has not been valued within this report. A summary of the legal description
and a satellite image of the subject property are as follows:

STATEMENT OF PRIOR SERVICES RENDERED
Todd Property Advisors, Mitchell B. Todd, MAI, Michael A. Keane, MAI, and Jonathan D. Martin have
rendered no services as appraisers or in any other capacity, regarding the property that is the subject of
this report 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 which is defined as "the lessor’s, or landlord’s,
interest. A landlord holds specified rights that include the right of use and occupancy conveyed by lease to
others. The rights of the lessor (the leased fee owner) and the lessee (leaseholder) are specified by contract
terms contained in the lease". 2 Easement ownership is defined as “the right to use another’s land for a
stated purpose”. 3
The fee simple estate of the subject is being appraised. This ownership interest is subject to any zoning
ordinances, easements, restrictions of record and other applicable codes and ordinances of record.
STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP
According to the surveys and the Denton County Deed Records, title of the subject is vested in the City of
Denton, Texas, a Texas Home Rule Municipal Corporation.
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 (December 10,
2020). In compliance with the 2020-2021 Edition of the Uniform 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 which will satisfy its intended
use. 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 peer’s 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.
Our 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 sources including CoStar.com, Denton Central Appraisal District (Denton CAD), and
NTREIS.net, as well as several other resources including owners, buyers, lenders, and other parties
knowledgeable of the subject property. The Regional and Neighborhood Analyses 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 communities comprising the Metroplex.
Jonathan D. Martin provided significant assistance with this report including assisting with the inspection,
gathering of data concerning the subject property, regional analysis, neighborhood analysis, zoning
information, highest and best use analysis, gathering and analysis of comparable data, and assistance
within the reconciliation of value. The site analysis included an inspection of the property by the appraisers,
a review of the survey of the part to be acquired, plat map, zoning maps, and FEMA flood insurance rate
maps. The subject was inspected on December 10, 2020, and other dates. The inspection was conducted
by Mitchell B. Todd, MAI, Michael A. Keane, MAI, and Jonathan D. Martin of Todd Property Advisors. The
effective date of the market value opinion is December 10, 2020. 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 Sales Comparison
Approach was utilized to value the subject property (land only). As of the effective date of the appraisal, the
subject property consists of a tract of land comprising 6.2000 acres.
The subject is currently improved with a concrete slab and site improvements. The portion of the site to be
acquired is a 0.0193 acre (840 square foot) tract for right-of-way use. This portion of the subject property is
being acquired for the construction of traffic lanes and shoulders on SL 288. We determined that the use
of the current improvements will not be affect by the proposed acquisition, as the acquisition is located a
sufficient distance from the main improvements and will not negatively affect drainage, ingress/egress, or
utility of the remainder. As permitted by USPAP Standard Rule 1-2 (e)(v), only the land and affected site
improvements (gravel paving) are valued within this appraisal. Therefore, we have provided a value of land
only via the Sales Comparison Approach and we have provided a value of the site improvements (gravel
paving) located within the part to be acquired via the Cost Approach. The land value via the Sales
Comparison Approach is added to the contributory value of the site improvements within the acquisition via
the Cost Approach to arrive at a value opinion of the whole property.
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 sources. A

Valuation Process section of this report.
COVID-19 STATEMENT
This report does not portend to fully quantify the impact of the recently declared COVID-19 pandemic and
its potential impact on local and/or national economic conditions. Todd Property Advisors continues to strive
to understand the potential impacts of COVID-19 on real property values. In performing due diligence in
these extraordinary times, we have referred to the Appraisal Institute’s Guide Note 10, Appraising in the
Aftermath of a Disaster, and Guide Note 12, Analyzing Market Trends. Many of the suggestions within these
two guide notes have been considered and applied when relevant within this appraisal.
Given that an appraisal report’s credibility relies on current market conditions, the coronavirus pandemic’s
impact on market conditions must be considered. However, in most markets it is not yet clear to what extent,
if any, market conditions are affected. Related and complicating factors include continued high demand for
some product types in geographic submarkets as well as investor demand for stabilized investment
properties and historically low mortgage interest rates and abundant equity capital pursuing yields and
stability.
Our client is encouraged to conduct their own due diligence and analysis regarding current market
conditions which could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and how these potential impacts may relate
to the subject property and their interest in it.
HISTORY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
The subject property sales history was researched through a search available from Denton County property
records, CoStar.com, and NTREIS.net among various other sources. According to Denton County Deed
Records, title of the subject has been vested in City of Denton, Texas, a Texas Home Rule Municipal
Corporation, since December 2012. To our knowledge, the subject was not listed for sale or under contract
to be sold at the time of this appraisal. No arm’s length conveyances have been uncovered regarding the
subject during the last five 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 2020-2021, exposure time is defined as, “an opinion, based
on supporting market data, of the 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
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 1.6
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.
ESTIMATE OF MARKETING TIME
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 presumed to precede the effective
date of an appraisal.” 4 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.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed SL 288 project includes the construction of a four-lane new location frontage road system
from I-35W south of Denton to I-35 north of Denton, in Denton County, Texas, and is approximately 9.0
miles in length. The proposed project right of way (ROW) would include a median that would accommodate
future construction of an ultimate mainlane roadway. Construction of the ultimate mainlane roadway would
be based on projected traffic and funding and would require additional environmental analysis prior to
construction. At this time, only the construction of the frontage road system is planned.
The new location SL 288 frontage road system would include a northbound and southbound frontage road
facility. For rural areas, the roadway would consist of two travel lanes (one 12-foot-wide lane and one 14-

foot-wide lane for bicycle accommodation) and 8-foot-wide inside and outside shoulders in each direction,
with open ditch drainage. For urbanized areas, the roadway would consist of two travel lanes (one 12-foot-
wide lane and one 14-foot-wide lane for bicycle accommodation) in each direction, with curb and gutter
drainage. The roadway would also include 6-foot-wide sidewalks along both sides of the road throughout
the project limits. The proposed project ROW would include a median (variable width) that would
accommodate the future construction of an ultimate mainlane roadway.
The project area includes approximately 26.6 acres of existing roadway ROW, 401.5 acres of proposed
ROW, 1.2 acres of proposed permanent drainage easements, and 13.2 acres of proposed ROW by others.
The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, displace five single-family residences
and one commercial property.

JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTIONS
According to the 2020-2021 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), a
Jurisdictional Exception is “an assignment condition established by applicable law or regulation, which
precludes an appraiser from complying with a part of USPAP.” It is the appraisers understanding that based
upon previously established public policy, the appraisal of real property for eminent domain purposes
regarding a public improvement project must exclude any value enhancement or loss in value due to the
public improvement project which is contrary to Standards Rule 1-4(f) of USPAP. Therefore, for the
purposes of this assignment we have not considered the effect on value of the whole property and the part
to be acquired caused by the public improvement project, which invokes a jurisdictional exception.
However, the public project is not considered to have influenced the value of the comparables utilized or
the subject property. The market value indicated by the sales comparables is reflective of a minimal level
of knowledge of the project by market participants. However, it is our opinion that the sales prices of the
comparable sales and the market value and compensation estimated within this report are exclusive of
significant project influence to the best level possible.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
According to the 2020-2021 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.” The remainder property after the acquisition
has been appraised under the hypothetical condition that the public project is complete and in place and
the part acquired has been put to the use for which it was acquired as of the date of appraisal. This
hypothetical condition is consistent in keeping with previously established public policy. The use of this
hypothetical condition may affect the results of this assignment.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
According to the 2020-2021 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.” The subject is only accessible via a private access easement,
which the appraisers were not granted access to. Thus, the appraisers were only able to complete an
inspection from the public right-of-way, Tom Cole Road, which is just east of the subject. Therefore, an
extraordinary assumption has been made that, with the exception of the gravel paving, which is visible via
aerial imagery, no other site improvements are located within the acquisition area, and that the subject
property does not have any topographical considerations that would adversely affect the development
potential of the subject property. If this assumption is found to be incorrect, it could necessitate reanalysis.

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 northwest of Austin, 240 miles northeast 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.
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.
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
Social forces, as defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition, published by The Appraisal
Institute and 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) 2020 population estimates, North
Central Texas estimated that the region had added approximately 1,174,280 new residents between 2010
and 2020 for a total population of 7,714,230. A chart detailing the individual county growth rates is located
below included the most recent year over year data.
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 2.5
According to NCTCOG’s 2020 Population Estimates document: “The estimated January 1, 2020 population
for the NCTCOG region is 7,714,230. Last year, the region added 159,480 people. In 2019, 12 cities grew
by 10% or more. Fort Worth led the region in growth, adding more than 24,000 people last year while Dallas
grew by more than 12,000, followed by Frisco (Collin County) with 11,290. Collin, Denton, Dallas, and
Tarrant counties each added more than 25,000 people last year, accounting for 83% of the regional growth.
The region has added almost 1.2 million new residents since 2010.”
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 CoStar, Dallas/Fort Worth area apartment rents were up approximately 2.0
percent in January 2020 when compared to January 2019. Additionally, CoStar reports “the Dallas-Fort
Worth multifamily market continues to perform well, benefiting from healthy demand for new apartments
amid an ongoing supply wave. Two key demand drivers for the apartment market are continuous in-
migration and job growth during this expansion. Last year, the region added 130,000 new residents, more
than any other metro in the country. The same is true regarding employment: North Texas added just over
120,000 new jobs in 2019, with sustained growth of about 3%. With around 740,000 units, Dallas-Fort Worth
is the third-largest market in the United States, with assets valued at just over $102 billion.”
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).

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
After a revised over-the-month increase of 48,100 jobs in September, Total Nonagricultural Wage and
Salary Employment grew at a faster pace in October with 118,100 jobs added. The private sector added
136,300 jobs after a gain of 46,800 positions in September. Overall, ten of the 11 major industries added
jobs over the month. Since October 2019, Texas shed 499,200 jobs including 459,200 private sector
positions. Despite this, Total Nonfarm employment grew by 786,000 jobs since April 2020. Two major
industries achieved positive annual growth in October, the most since March 2020 when widespread
closures related to COVID-19 began.
Professional and Business Services employment grew for the sixth consecutive month reporting a series-
high gain of 45,200 jobs in October. Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services reached a series-high
employment level of 874,700 jobs in October, while Administrative and Support and Waste Management
and Remediation Services added a record 29,300 jobs over the month. Leisure and Hospitality added
27,700 positions over the month. Accommodation and Food Services gained 21,500 jobs with Arts,
Entertainment, and Recreation adding 6,200 jobs. Trade, Transportation, and Utilities added 19,300
positions in October following a slight decrease in September.
The Texas unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent in September to 6.9 percent in October. The
Texas unemployment rate increased by 3.4 percentage points since October 2019. The U.S. rate
decreased 1.0 percentage points over the month to 6.9 percent in October. The U.S. unemployment rate
rose by 3.3 percentage points from an October 2019 reading of 3.6 percent.

The Texas civilian labor force (CLF) decreased by 128,600 persons in October following a decrease of
167,200 persons in September. The CLF decreased by 70,000 people over the year. The number of
employed increased by 66,100 over the month, while the number of unemployed fell by 194,700.
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 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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, social, and political center of both Texas and the United States.
Due to the changing demographics, the regional economy in general, and the continued stability of the local
government, expectations for the region’s future are optimistic.
At the beginning of 2020, the Dallas/Fort Worth region had been impacted positively by a resurgence in the
national economy since the Great Recession of 2008. The resurgence continued throughout 2019 and was
anticipated to continue into the near future. The D/FW market in general gained economic growth and
remained attractive for investment opportunities. Given this, indications were that market conditions within
this region were moving in a positive direction; however, the forgoing is subject to the COVID-19 statement

discussed previously in this report. It remains our contention at this time it is impossible to fully quantify the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, subsequent lockdowns and economic disruptions on the commercial
real estate market. However, it is our opinion that if there were to be a quick rebounding of the local and
national economies post COVID-19, it would result in only a minimal loss in value, if any, to the subject,
due to the strong Dallas/Fort Worth economy leading into the pandemic.

CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
A neighborhood is defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition, published by the Appraisal
Institute, as a group of complementary land uses. 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.
The boundaries of the subject neighborhood are approximately outlined in blue.
The following neighborhood description will include 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.
Location
The subject neighborhood is considered to be the western portion of Denton County and includes the
outlying areas of the Cities of Denton, Bolivar, and Sanger, the Cities of Ponder, Dish, and Krum, and the
Subject Property

surrounding unincorporated areas. The subject property lies in the southeastern portion of this
neighborhood. The neighborhood will be defined as follows:
North: FM 455
South: FM 407
East: I35W
West: Denton County Line
Neighborhood Development
The neighborhood is primarily developed with agricultural and rural residential development along
secondary roadways and commercial and industrial development along major thoroughfares. The
neighborhood is currently in the growth stage of the neighborhood life cycle as the neighborhood is
experiencing increasing demand and construction of residential and commercial uses. The subject
neighborhood is bisected by Hickory Creek which runs east/west through the subject neighborhood.
Additionally the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad bisects the subject neighborhood. Furthermore, the
Denton Enterprise Airport is located in the eastern portion of the neighborhood along FM 1515.
Demographic Profile
According to a study prepared utilizing The CCIM Site to do Business, the neighborhood is projected to
experience a population growth of 5.81 percent annually from 2020-2025. Current population for the
neighborhood is 33,760 persons and has increased from 22,434 in 2010. The population is anticipated to
grow to 44,776 in 2025. Median household income for the neighborhood is $87,553 and is anticipated to
grow to $94,844 in 2025. The following reports were generated by The CCIM Site to do Business for the
subject neighborhood.

The subject property is located approximately 35-40 miles northwest of the Dallas Central Business District.
Primary north/south roadways within the neighborhood include the following: I-35W, I-35, FM 2450, and
FM 156. Primary east/west roadways include the following: US 380, FM 2449, FM 1173 and FM 407.
The subject’s immediate area has experienced a significant amount of recent and on-going commercial
along primary roadways (US 380 and I-35) with residential and agricultural development along secondary
roadways.
Conclusion
The neighborhood has been impacted positively by a recovery and growth in the national economy since
the end of the Great Recession. The progress continued throughout 2019 and into the first quarter of 2020
and was anticipated to continue into the near future. The D/FW market in general experienced economic
growth and remained attractive for investment opportunities. Given this, indications were that market
conditions within this neighborhood were moving in a positive direction; however, the forgoing is subject to
the COVID-19 statement discussed previously in this report.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Site description consists of comprehensive factual data, information on land use restrictions, a legal
description, other title and record data, and information on pertinent physical characteristics. Site analysis
goes further. It is a careful study of factual data in relation to the market area characteristics that create,
enhance, or detract from the utility and marketability of specific land or a given site as compared with other
sites that it competes with. 5
LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located approximately 800 feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles
south of Jim Christal Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas. A summarized legal description of the subject
property is as follows:
Being a tract of land located in the David Davis Survey, Abstract No. 356, City of Denton,
Denton County, Texas, and being part of a tract of land described in General Warranty Deed
to the City of Denton recorded in Instrument No. 2012-147184 of the Official Real Property
Records of Denton County, Texas (ORPRDCT)
SIZE AND SHAPE
A parcel map and surveys of the part to be acquired for the subject tract are located on the following pages.
The subject property consists of land comprising a total of 6.2000 acres (270,072 square feet). The tract is
near rectangular in shape. The portion of the site to be acquired is a 0.0193 acre (840 square foot) tract for
right-of-way use. This portion of the subject property is being acquired for the construction of SL 288.
ACCESS AND EXPOSURE
The subject parcel can be accessed from most areas of the Metroplex by traveling northwest on I-35W. The
motorist would then take exit 467. Then the motorist would stay on the North I-35 East service road and
stay to the right until they have reached West Oak Street. Then the motorist would head west on West Oak
Street for approximately 0.50 miles, then merge left onto Jim Christal Road, and travel along Jim Christal
Road for approximately 3.2 miles before heading south upon reaching C. Wolfe Road. The motorist would
continue down C. Wolfe Road for approximately 1.5 miles and would head east upon reaching Tom Cole
Road. After continuing east for approximately 1.8 miles the motorist would reach the subject property’s
access road to the west. The subject tract has access from Tom Cole Road from an apparent access
easement on an adjoining tract. Thus, the subject is considered to have average access and average
exposure characteristics.

RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS AND ELEVATION CHANGES TO SLL 288 AFTER ACQUISITION
The SL 288 project by the Texas Department of Transportation is to create the right-of-way of SL 288 and
expand the right-of-way several intersecting roadways. According to elevation schematics below and on
the following pages, the proposed construction of SL 288 at the subject will not be elevated significantly
compared to current elevation along the subject tract. The elevation of the proposed southbound frontage
roads will vary between approximately 0 – 3 feet above current elevation at the south end of the subject
property. However, the slope to access the new roadway is considered to be typical. Thus, the elevation
change will not negatively affect the utility or value of the remainder of the subject property.

The light blue line represents the approximate ends of the subject property.
TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of the subject tract is considered to be level and cleared. The topography of the site should
not limit the use of the property provided proper site work is undertaken.
SOILS
Strict attention should be taken to the soils, insofar as preliminary site work preparation and excavation is
concerned, as damage may occur to the improvements if proper precautions are not undertaken. However,
these soil characteristics are common throughout the Metroplex 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.

EXISTING EASEMENTS
The subject tract appears to be encumbered by typical utility easements, pipeline easements and access
easements. We were not furnished, and it is beyond the scope of our assignment to obtain a survey
depicting the location of all existing easements on the subject property. However, based on the title
documents provided, it appears that these easements are fairly typical in the market area and no easements
exist that adversely affect development of the subject property. Additionally, as previously mentioned the
subject tract receives access from Tom Cole Road from an apparent access easement on an adjoining
tract.
FLOOD ZONE
Our analysis of flood plain considerations was conducted through a review of Community-Panel Number
48121C0355G, 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 and analysis of flood plain maps, it appears that the
subject is not located within the flood plain.

UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES
The subject property appears to have access to electric utilities. A well would be required for water and a
septic system would be required for sewerage. Telephone service is available to the area as well as police
and fire protection (from the City of Denton).
SURROUNDING LAND USES
The land uses immediately surrounding the subject include vacant land to the north, west, and south and
some light industrial uses to the north. Additionally, Denton Enterprise Airport is located to the east. A

CONCLUSION
The subject property is located approximately 800 feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles
south of Jim Christal Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas and comprises a total of 6.2000 acres. The
tract comprising the subject of this report is near rectangular in shape and has access from Tom Cole Road.
The tract has average access and exposure and appears to have electric utilities available. The subject
property does not appear to be adversely affected by flood plain. The property is located in the western
portion of Denton County and is within an area with mostly residential and industrial uses. Based upon the
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 2.26
physical characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses, the desirability of the subject tract for future
industrial development is considered to be good.

ZONING AND OTHER LAND USE RESTRICTIONS
According to the City of Denton’s zoning map, the subject property is zoned (PF) Public Facilities. Due to
this zoning classification, the property is subject to the City of Denton’s zoning ordinance. According to
Hayley Zagurski, a representative for the City of Denton Planning office, the Public Facilities designation
“in most instances was applied to land owned either by the City or another governmental or quasi-
governmental entity such as Denton ISD. It is possible that property zoned PF could be owned by another
entity or sold, though, and in those instances the proposed rezoning would be weighed against the criteria
for approval. One of the most important criteria is consistency with the comprehensive plan, including the
Future Land Use Map.” Additionally, according to Hayley Zagurski, rezoning requests are analyzed based
upon several factors, including compatibility with zoning and use of surrounding properties and the City's
comprehensive plan. The subject has a future land use designation of Industrial Commerce, which allows
for several industrial uses. Located below and on the following pages are the zoning ordinances for the
districts, the zoning map, and the future land use map. The subject appears to be in compliance with the
zoning requirements.
There are no other known deed restrictions, either public or private, that would further significantly limit the
utilization of the subject property. This statement should not be taken as a guarantee or warranty that no
such restrictions exist. Deed and title examinations by a competent attorney on the property appraised is
recommended if any questions regarding such restrictions should arise. Deed restrictions are matters legal
in character within the State of Texas, and only title examination by a qualified attorney can result in an
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS

informed opinion. Should there be a question regarding the compliance with any existing deed restrictions,
we recommend a title examination by a licensed and qualified title attorney to the extent assurances to this
matter are desired.

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. Theoretically, real property is 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. However, as the subject is owned by the City of Denton,
the property is exempt from paying property taxes. Thus, no further tax analysis is warranted.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS:
The Highest and Best Use analysis should consider the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property
considering legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. See Page 3.1
Given the subject’s zoning, location, and current industrial development taking place in the area, the highest and best use of the subject
tract as vacant is for future industrial development.
VALUATION APPROACHES
The subject property involves a 6.2000 acre tract of land improved with a concrete slab and site improvements (gravel paving). The
proposed right-of-way acquisition involves land improved with gravel paving fencing. We determined that the use of the main
improvements will not be affect by the proposed acquisition, as the acquisition is located a sufficient distance from the main
improvements and will not negatively affect drainage, ingress/egress, or utility of the subject remainder. As permitted by USPAP
Standard Rule 1-2 (e)(v), only the land and affected site improvements (gravel paving) are valued within this appraisal. Therefore, we
have provided a value of land only via the Sales Comparison Approach and we have provided a value of the site improvements (gravel
paving) located within the part to be acquired via the Cost Approach. The land value via the Sales Comparison Approach is added to
the contributory value of the site improvements within the acquisition via the Cost Approach to arrive at a value opinion of the whole
property.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS – WHOLE PROPERTY
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. 6
With regard to vacant land, 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. 7
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.

7 Ibid. page 152
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 3.2
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 criterion
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, 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 subject property is zoned Public Facilities and is subject to the City of Denton’s zoning ordinance.
According to Hayley Zagurski, a representative for the City of Denton Planning office, the Public Facilities
designation “in most instances was applied to land owned either by the City or another governmental or
quasi-governmental entity such as Denton ISD. It is possible that property zoned PF could be owned by
another entity or sold, though, and in those instances the proposed rezoning would be weighed against the
criteria for approval. One of the most important criteria is consistency with the comprehensive plan,
including the Future Land Use Map.” Additionally, according to Hayley Zagurski, rezoning requests are
analyzed based upon several factors, including compatibility with zoning and use of surrounding properties
and the City's comprehensive plan. The subject has a future land use designation of Industrial Commerce,
which allows for several industrial uses. Therefore, a wide variety of industrial uses are allowed. Thus,
future industrial development is considered to be indicative of the most likely and 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 site consists of 6.2000 acres, which is considered to be
an economic unit typical for the market. The subject is physically located approximately 800 feet west of
Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles south of Jim Christal Road in Denton, Denton County, Texas. 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 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 subject tract is considered to have average
exposure and access and is of adequate size for future industrial development. The immediate surrounding
area is predominantly industrial with some residential development.
The topography of the subject tract is considered to be level. Drainage appears to be adequate. This
topography is conducive for most types of industrial development. Additionally, soil and subsoil conditions
are not considered to significantly hinder the development potential of the site. The site has access to
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 3.3
electric utilities, and the site does not appear to be adversely affected by any easements or encroachments
which would be detrimental to property development. None of the subject property lies within the 100-year
flood plain. Based upon an analysis of land uses within the subject neighborhood, as well as the immediate
vicinity, and given the proximity of the site to U.S. 380, I-35 North, and the Denton Enterprise Airport, it is
our reasoned opinion that the subject can be used for future industrial development, which appears to be
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 is currently a significant amount of industrial and
residential development within the immediate vicinity of the subject. The majority of the current land sales
within the subject neighborhood have been acquired for either speculative investments or industrial
development. Given the subject’s size, zoning, location, and current industrial development taking place in
the area, the highest and best use of the subject tract is for future industrial development. The most likely
purchaser would be an investor.

LAND SALES PRESENTATION
A search was made for sales of tracts of land most comparable to the subject area. After sales were
selected for more analysis, the public records were researched and verification of the details of the sales
were 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. Details of the land comparables
used are found on the following pages. A map depicting the location of the Sales in comparison to the

This property is physically located at the NWC of Schuyler Rd &Worthington Dr in Denton,Denton County,TX and has a municipal address
of 2501 Worthington Dr,Denton,Denton County,TX 76207.According to the listing broker,Mr.Robert Harris,the property sold for
$255,000 or $33,190/acre.Approximately 3.6830 acres or approximately 48%(western portion)of this property was located within a
drainage area at the time of purchase.Additionally,a retention pond was recently constructed within the drainage area of this property prior to
the purchase.Furthermore,according to Mr.Harris,in order for the property to be developed,a sidewalk and a road would be required to be
constructed prior to any development.However,Mr.Harris was not informed of the development cost for the sidewalk and roadway.
Therefore,the cost to develop the sidewalk and roadway has beenestimated based upon the Marshall and Swift Cost manual (Section 66 Pg 1-
2)to be ~$35,000.Thus,the estimated development cost will be added to the sales price for expenditures after sale,resulting in an adjusted
sales price of $290,000 or $37,746/acre.

LAND SALES ANALYSIS
Elements of comparison are the characteristics of properties and transactions that cause the prices paid
for real estate to vary. The array of data suggests possible adjustments for various characteristics of each
transaction in comparison with the subject site. The Sales have been compared to the subject for dissimilar
characteristics and adjustments are made on a price per unit basis. Following is a summary table of the
comparable land sales.
Real 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 made for this
factor.
Financing Terms
All of the sales were consummated with the sellers effectively receiving cash in exchange for their
consideration in the property and no adjustments were made for advantageous seller financing.
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 of sale. Thus, no adjustments were made for this category.
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 adjustments for property rights conveyed, financing, and conditions
of sale have been made. 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/Unit for each comparable which has been adjusted for the other
transactional adjustments. The % Physical Adjustment column indicates the total adjustments made for all
physical characteristics (location, size, corner, utilities, topography zoning, flood plain, etc.) as shown on
Page SCA 3.4. The Adjusted Price/Unit is calculated by applying the % Physical Adjustment for each sale
to its Price/Unit. By analyzing the comparable sales adjusted prices per unit 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.
In closely analyzing the Comparables, an upward trend is apparent and after talking with market
participants, they indicate that market conditions are also increasing in the area. Therefore, the
Comparables will be adjusted upwards 5 percent per year as follows: Comparable 1 (2 percent upwards),
Comparable 2 (3 percent upwards), Comparable 3 (12 percent upwards), and Comparable 4 (13 percent
upwards). This is subject to the COVID-19 statement discussed previously in this report. Therefore, in our
opinion, the market conditions adjustments are considered reasonable.
Location
Location is considered to be one of the most important characteristics of real estate; therefore, the location
of the Comparables is the first of the physical characteristics to be considered. The following adjustments
have been made based upon our professional opinion and experience. The subject property is located
approximately 800 feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles south of Jim Christal Road in
Denton, Denton County, Texas. Comparable 1 is located in a superior industrial development within close
proximity to the Denton Enterprise Airport. Additionally, Comparable 1 has superior access to that of the
subject. Therefore, Comparable 1 will be adjusted downward 20 percent for location. Comparables 2 and

3 are considered to have similar locations to the subject property, but they have superior access to that of
the subject. Therefore, Comparables 2 and 3 will be adjusted downward 10 percent for location.
Comparable 4 is located in a significantly inferior location with limited industrial development and superior
access to that of the subject along Masch Branch Road. Overall, Comparable 4 is considered to have an
inferior location to that of the subject. Therefore, Comparable 4 will adjusted upward 10 percent for location.
Size
The subject tract totals 6.2000 acres. The Comparables range in size from 2.000 acres to 9.8260 acres.
Typically, smaller tracts sell for more per square foot than larger sites. In reviewing market trends, the
market appears to recognize a difference in price for tracts substantially different in size. Therefore,
Comparable 1 (9.8260 acres) is moderately larger in size compared to the subject property and will be
adjusted upward 5 percent. Comparable 2 (7.6830 acres), and Comparable 3 (7.5700 acres) are similar in
size to the subject and will be not be adjusted. Comparable 4 (2.0000 acres) is smaller in size compared to
the subject property and will be adjusted downward 10 percent.
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.
The subject property does not have a corner location. Comparables 1, 3, and 4 do not benefit from corner
exposure and will not be adjusted. As previously discussed, Comparable 2 will have corner frontage once
the required road and sidewalk are constructed. However, at the time of the purchase, Comparable 2 was
not situated on a corner and will not be adjusted.
Utilities
The subject has electric utilities available. Comparables 1, 2, and 3 reportedly had access to all utilities and
will be adjusted downward 10 percent. Comparable 4 reportedly had water and electric utilities and will be
adjusted downward 5 percent.
Topography
This adjustment takes into consideration the topography (terrain) of the subject property and how
desirable/developable the site is. The topography of the subject tract is considered to be level. The
topography of the site should not limit the use of the property provided proper site work is undertaken. All
of the Comparables have fairly similar topographical considerations, and no adjustments will be made.
Zoning
The zoning a property possesses dictates the legally permissible use(s) to which it can be developed.
Consequently, the value of a property can be significantly influenced by its zoning classification. The subject
property is zoned (PF) Public Facilities and is subject to the City of Denton’s zoning ordinance. According
to Hayley Zagurski, a representative for the City of Denton Planning office, the Public Facilities designation
“in most instances was applied to land owned either by the City or another governmental or quasi-
governmental entity such as Denton ISD. It is possible that property zoned PF could be owned by another
entity or sold, though, and in those instances the proposed rezoning would be weighed against the criteria
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 3.13
for approval. One of the most important criteria is consistency with the comprehensive plan, including the
Future Land Use Map.” Additionally, according to Hayley Zagurski, rezoning requests are analyzed based
upon several factors, including compatibility with zoning and use of surrounding properties and the City's
comprehensive plan. The subject has a future land use designation of Industrial Commerce, which allows
for several industrial uses. Additionally, a zoning change with a municipality would involve filing fees, public
hearings, and other city planning processes that would further increase the potential development costs for
the subject property. Therefore, Comparables 1, 2, and 3 are considered slightly superior to the subject
property due to these properties already having an industrial zoning in place at the time of purchase, and
they would not have these potential administrative costs associated with a zoning change. Therefore,
Comparables 1, 2, and 3 will be adjusted downward 5 percent for zoning. Comparable 4 has a similar
zoning to the subject property and will not be adjusted.
Shape
The subject is considered near rectangular in shape and considered fairly typical in the market. All of the
Comparables are all fairly typical in shape and configuration; therefore, none of the Comparables will be
adjusted for shape.
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 property is adversely affected by the 100 or 500-year flood plain. Approximately
7 percent of Comparable 1 is located in the 100-year floodplain and approximately 15 percent of
Comparable 3 is located in the 100-year floodplain. To extract the appropriate adjustment for flood plain,
paired sales analysis for several flood plain sales identified in the North Texas region have been displayed
in the following table. These flood plain sales are correlated with a very similar non-flood plain sale.

These paired comparisons indicated a range of roughly -23 percent to -92 percent and a mean of
approximately -56 percent. Therefore, a -50 percent adjustment will be utilized for the difference in the value
of land located within a flood plain, compared to land that is not located within a flood plain. Therefore, an
upward adjustment of 4 percent (7% of 50% = 4% rounded) will be applied to Comparable 1 and an upward
adjustment of 8 percent (15% of 50% = 8% rounded) will be applied to Comparable 3. Additionally, given
the very minimal portions of Comparables 1 and 3 that are located in the floodway (<1%), no further
adjustment will be made for this factor. Comparables 2 and 4 are not encumbered by any flood plain or
floodway and will not be adjusted.

Easements
The subject tract appears to be encumbered by fairly typical utility easements. Comparables 1, 3, and 4
also appear to be encumbered by fairly typical utility easements and no adjustments are necessary.
Approximately 3.6830 acres or 48 percent of the western portion of Comparable 2 is located within a
retention area to service this tract as wells as neighboring tracts. Additionally, a retention pond was
constructed within the drainage area before the purchase. The drainage area/retention pond significantly
hinders the development potential of this portion of the tract and basically limits its use to being able to
include this area in the setback and land area requirements. This is considered to be fairly similar to a
drainage easement. Therefore, discounts at the upper end of the range listed in the matrix below are
necessary as there are virtually no other conceivable uses remaining for the landowner. The following
Easement Valuation Matrix will be used as a guide for allocating value to the portion of the comparable
which is located within the drainage area. 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 portion of the Comparable located within the drainage area is estimated to encumber 85 percent of the
utility/value of this portion of the tract. Given that approximately 48 percent of Comparable 2 is encumbered
by the retention area, an upward adjustment of 41 percent (48% of 85% = 41%) will be applied.

DISCUSSION OF COST APPROACH – WHOLE PROPERTY
The subject property is land improved with a concrete slab and site improvements (gravel paving).
Therefore, we have provided a value of land only via the Sales Comparison Approach, and we have
provided a value of the site improvements located within the part to be acquired via the Cost Approach. The
land value via the Sales Comparison Approach is added to the contributory value of the site improvements
within the acquisition via the Cost Approach to arrive at a value of opinion of the whole property. As permitted
by USPAP Standard Rule 1-2 (e)(v), only the land and any affected site improvements are valued within
this appraisal. The improvements situated within the parts to be acquired involve gravel paving. According
to Marshall and Swift, the cost to replace the gravel paving would be approximately $0.65 per square foot.
Upon including an entrepreneurial profit incentive of 20 percent, total replacement cost new would equate
to $0.78 per linear foot ($0.65/LF + 20%). However, the site improvements (gravel paving) are considered
to be depreciated past their economic life. Thus, the site improvements are not considered to add
contributory value to the subject property.
Given that the site improvements within the acquisition are not considered to contribute to the value of the
whole subject tract, a market value of the whole property of $316,200 results.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE – PART ACQUIRED
The part to be acquired is a 0.0193 acre tract located along the eastern boundary of the subject tract. It
should be noted that no access rights are being acquired as part of the acquisition. The surveys and legal
descriptions provided for the part to be acquired are located on the following pages. This portion of the tract
is not considered to comprise an economic unit to be independently used apart from the whole property
given its shallow depth and irregular configuration. Given the constraints of this tract due to its configuration,
the highest and best use of this tract is to be used along with the whole property for industrial development.
Therefore, the part to be acquired is valued as a part of the whole property.
Right-of-Way Acquisition: As previously discussed, the part to be acquired is a 0.0193 acre tract located
eastern boundary of the subject. The part to be acquired spans from the northeast corner along the eastern
boundary of the tract approximately 50 feet, then west for approximately 23 feet, then northeast for
approximately 60 feet to the northern boundary of the subject, then east approximately 11 feet to the point
of beginning. The part to be acquired is near rectangular in shape and is approximately 800 feet west of
Tom Cole Road.
Approximately 180 square feet of gravel paving is situated in the proposed acquisition area. The site
improvements have been valued within the value of the whole property via the Cost Approach. However,
given that the site improvements are considered to be fully depreciated, they are not considered to add
contributory value to the acquisition area.
The land area within the right-of-way acquisition is an integral part of the whole property and has the same
value per acre as the whole property or $51,000 per acre. Thus, the land value of the part to be acquired
has a value of $984. Given that the improvements are not considered to have any contributory value, the
total value of the part to be acquired is $984.
Therefore, the value of the remainder of the subject tract is calculated by subtracting the value of the part
to be acquired from the value of the whole property as follows:
Value of the Whole Property: $316,200
Minus: Value of the Part to be Acquired: $984
Equals: Value of the Remainder Before Acquisition: $315,216

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS:
The Highest and Best Use analysis should consider the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property
considering legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. See Page 5.2
Given the subject remainder’s zoning, location, and current industrial development taking place in the area, the highest and best use of
the subject tract as vacant is for future industrial development.
VALUATION APPROACHES
As discussed earlier within this report, the subject property involves a 6.2000 acre tract of land improved with a concrete slab and site
improvements (gravel paving). The subject remainder tract consists of 6.1807 acres of land with improvements. However, the remaining
improvements are not affected by the acquisition and are excluded from the valuation. The Cost, Sales Comparison, and Income
Capitalization Approaches to value improved property have not been included within this analysis given the exclusion of the valuation
of the improvements. Thus, these valuation approaches are not applicable for this assignment. The Sales Comparison Approach utilizing
comparable land sales has been performed to determine the market value of the remainder of the subject land only.

Remainder Property = 6.1807 AC or 269,232 SF
Valuation of Remainder After the Acquisition:
The remainder tract after acquisition is a 6.1807 acre tract of land improved with a concrete slab and site
improvements. However, the improvements are not affected by the acquisition and are excluded from the
valuation. The remainder tract is of sufficient size and shape to support the highest and best use of the tract
for industrial development. The public project is a benefit to all properties in the neighborhood and not
specific to a particular property. The remainder after the acquisition has approximately 34 linear feet of road
frontage along SL 288 (based upon surveys provided). The acquisition does not further limit the accessibility
of the remainder tract. Therefore, no damages to the remainder tract are caused by the acquisition. The
Sales Comparison Approach is utilized to determine the market value of the remainder tract after the
acquisition.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS – REMAINDER TRACT
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. 8
With regard to vacant land, 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. 9
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.

9 Ibid. page 152
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 5.3
5) 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 criterion
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, 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 subject property is zoned Public Facilities and is subject to the City of Denton’s zoning ordinance.
According to Hayley Zagurski, a representative for the City of Denton Planning office, the Public Facilities
designation “in most instances was applied to land owned either by the City or another governmental or
quasi-governmental entity such as Denton ISD. It is possible that property zoned PF could be owned by
another entity or sold, though, and in those instances the proposed rezoning would be weighed against the
criteria for approval. One of the most important criteria is consistency with the comprehensive plan,
including the Future Land Use Map.” Additionally, according to Hayley Zagurski, rezoning requests are
analyzed based upon several factors, including compatibility with zoning and use of surrounding properties
and the City's comprehensive plan. The subject has a future land use designation of Industrial Commerce,
which allows for several industrial uses. Therefore, a wide variety of industrial uses are allowed. Thus,
future industrial development is considered to be indicative of the most likely and 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 remainder site consists of 6.1807 acres, which is considered to
be an economic unit typical for the market. The subject remainder is physically located approximately 800
feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles south of Jim Christal Road in Denton, Denton County,
Texas. Additionally, the remainder will have access to SL 288 upon completion. 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 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 subject remainder is considered to have good exposure
and access and is of adequate size for future industrial development. The immediate surrounding area is
predominantly industrial with some residential development.
The topography of the subject tract is considered to be level. Drainage appears to be adequate. This
topography is conducive for most types of industrial development. Additionally, soil and subsoil conditions
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 5.4
are not considered to significantly hinder the development potential of the site. The site has access to
electric utilities, and the site does not appear to be adversely affected by any easements or encroachments
which would be detrimental to property development. None of the subject property lies within the 100-year
flood plain. Based upon an analysis of land uses within the subject neighborhood, as well as the immediate
vicinity, and given the proximity of the site to U.S. 380, I-35 North, and the Denton Enterprise Airport, it is
our reasoned opinion that the subject can be used for future industrial development, which appears to be
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 is currently a significant amount of industrial and
residential development within the immediate vicinity of the subject. The majority of the current land sales
within the subject neighborhood have been acquired for either speculative investments or industrial
development. Given the subject’s size, zoning, location, and current industrial development taking place in
the area, the highest and best use of the subject remainder is for future industrial development. The most
likely purchaser would be an investor.

LAND SALES ANALYSIS
Elements of comparison are the characteristics of properties and transactions that cause the prices paid
for real estate to vary. The array of data suggests possible adjustments for various characteristics of each
transaction in comparison with the subject remainder site. The Sales have been compared to the subject
remainder for dissimilar characteristics and adjustments are made on a price per unit basis. Following is a
summary table of the comparable land sales.
Real 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 made for this
factor.
Financing Terms
All of the sales were consummated with the sellers effectively receiving cash in exchange for their
consideration in the property and no adjustments were made for advantageous seller financing.
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 of sale. Thus, no adjustments were made for this category.
Market Conditions
This adjustment is generally made after adjustments for property rights conveyed, financing, and conditions
of sale have been made. 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/Unit for each comparable which has been adjusted for the other
transactional adjustments. The % Physical Adjustment column indicates the total adjustments made for all
physical characteristics (location, size, corner, utilities, topography zoning, flood plain, etc.) as shown on
Page SCA 5.5. The Adjusted Price/Unit is calculated by applying the % Physical Adjustment for each sale
to its Price/Unit. By analyzing the comparable sales adjusted prices per unit 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.
In closely analyzing the Comparables, an upward trend is apparent and after talking with market
participants, they indicate that market conditions are also increasing in the area. Therefore, the
Comparables will be adjusted upwards 5 percent per year as follows: Comparable 1 (2 percent upwards),
Comparable 2 (3 percent upwards), Comparable 3 (12 percent upwards), and Comparable 4 (13 percent
upwards). This is subject to the COVID-19 statement discussed previously in this report. Therefore, in our
opinion, the market conditions adjustments are considered reasonable.
Location
Location is considered to be one of the most important characteristics of real estate; therefore, the location
of the Comparables is the first of the physical characteristics to be considered. The following adjustments
have been made based upon our professional opinion and experience. The subject remainder is located
approximately 800 feet west of Tom Cole Road, approximately 1.0 miles south of Jim Christal Road in
Denton, Denton County, Texas. Additionally, the remainder will have access to SL 288 upon completion.
Comparable 1 is located in a superior industrial development within close proximity to the Denton Enterprise
Airport. Therefore, Comparable 1 will be adjusted downward 10 percent for location. Comparables 2 and 3
are considered to have similar locations to the subject remainder and will not be adjusted. Comparable 4 is
located in a significantly inferior location with limited industrial development and limited exposure along
Masch Branch Road. Therefore, Comparable 4 will adjusted upward 20 percent for location.
Size
Comparable 1 (9.8260 acres) is moderately larger in size compared to the subject property and will be
adjusted upward 5 percent. Comparable 2 (7.6830 acres), and Comparable 3 (7.5700 acres) are similar in
size to the subject and will be not be adjusted. Comparable 4 (2.0000 acres) is smaller in size compared to
the subject property and will be adjusted downward 10 percent.

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.
The subject remainder does not have a corner location. Comparables 1, 3, and 4 do not benefit from corner
exposure and will not be adjusted. As previously discussed, Comparable 2 will have corner frontage once
the required road and sidewalk are constructed. However, at the time of the purchase, Comparable 2 was
not situated on a corner and will not be adjusted.
Utilities
The subject has electric utilities available. Comparables 1, 2, and 3 reportedly had access to all utilities and
will be adjusted downward 10 percent. Comparable 4 reportedly had water and electric utilities and will be
adjusted downward 5 percent.
Topography
This adjustment takes into consideration the topography (terrain) of the subject remainder and how
desirable/developable the site is. The topography of the subject remainder is considered to be level. The
topography of the site should not limit the use of the property provided proper site work is undertaken. All
of the Comparables have fairly similar topographical considerations, and no adjustments will be made.
Zoning
The zoning a property possesses dictates the legally permissible use(s) to which it can be developed.
Consequently, the value of a property can be significantly influenced by its zoning classification. The subject
property is zoned (PF) Public Facilities and is subject to the City of Denton’s zoning ordinance. According
to Hayley Zagurski, a representative for the City of Denton Planning office, the Public Facilities designation
“in most instances was applied to land owned either by the City or another governmental or quasi-
governmental entity such as Denton ISD. It is possible that property zoned PF could be owned by another
entity or sold, though, and in those instances the proposed rezoning would be weighed against the criteria
for approval. One of the most important criteria is consistency with the comprehensive plan, including the
Future Land Use Map.” Additionally, according to Hayley Zagurski, rezoning requests are analyzed based
upon several factors, including compatibility with zoning and use of surrounding properties and the City's
comprehensive plan. The subject has a future land use designation of Industrial Commerce which, allows
for several industrial uses. Additionally, a zoning change with a municipality would involve filing fees, public
hearings, and other city planning processes that would further increase the potential development costs for
the subject property. Therefore, Comparables 1, 2, and 3 are considered slightly superior to the subject
property due to these properties already having an industrial zoning in place at the time of purchase, and
they would not have these potential administrative costs associated with a zoning change. Therefore,
Comparables 1, 2, and 3 will be adjusted downward 5 percent for zoning. Comparable 4 has a similar
zoning to the subject property and will not be adjusted.

Page 5.9
Shape
The subject remainder is considered near rectangular in shape and considered fairly typical in the market.
All of the Comparables are all fairly typical in shape and configuration; therefore, none of the Comparables
will be adjusted for shape.
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 property is adversely affected by the 100 or 500-year flood plain. Approximately
7 percent of Comparable 1 is located in the 100-year floodplain and approximately 15 percent of
Comparable 3 is located in the 100-year floodplain. To extract the appropriate adjustment for flood plain,
paired sales analysis for several flood plain sales identified in the North Texas region have been displayed
in the following table. These flood plain sales are correlated with a very similar non-flood plain sale.

These paired comparisons indicated a range of roughly -23 percent to -92 percent and a mean of
approximately -56 percent. Therefore, a -50 percent adjustment will be utilized for the difference in the value
of land located within a flood plain, compared to land that is not located within a flood plain. Therefore, an
upward adjustment of 4 percent (7% of 50% = 4% rounded) will be applied to Comparable 1 and an upward
adjustment of 8 percent (15% of 50% = 8% rounded) will be applied to Comparable 3. Additionally, given
the very minimal portions of Comparables 1 and 3 that are located in the floodway (<1%), no further
adjustment will be made for this factor. Comparables 2 and 4 are not encumbered by any flood plain or
floodway and will not be adjusted.
Easements
The subject remainder appears to be encumbered by fairly typical utility easements. Comparables 1, 3, and
4 also appear to be encumbered by fairly typical utility easements and no adjustments are necessary.
Approximately 3.6830 acres or 48 percent of the western portion of Comparable 2 is located within a
retention area to service this tract as wells as neighboring tracts. Additionally, a retention pond was
constructed within the drainage area before the purchase. The drainage area/retention pond significantly
hinders the development potential of this portion of the tract and basically limits its use to being able to
include this area in the setback and land area requirements. This is considered to be fairly similar to a
drainage easement. Therefore, discounts at the upper end of the range listed in the matrix below are
necessary as there are virtually no other conceivable uses remaining for the landowner. The following
Easement Valuation Matrix will be used as a guide for allocating value to the portion of the comparable
which is located within the drainage area. 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 portion of the Comparable located within the drainage area is estimated to encumber 85 percent of the
utility/value of this portion of the tract. Given that approximately 48 percent of Comparable 2 is encumbered
by the retention area, an upward adjustment of 41 percent (48% of 85% = 41%) will be applied.

EXPLANATION OF DAMAGES (if any): The acquisition is not considered to negatively impact the potential use of the site.
Additionally, the acquisition does not limit the use or access of the remainder tract. Therefore, the highest and best use of the remainder
tract is not negatively impacted by the acquisition, thus no damages to the remainder are estimated.

Based on the data rendered via a physical inspection of the subject, as well as other pertinent
information, it is my opinion that the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject
property, as of March 6, 2018, is:
“As Is" Market Value:
ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($1,740,000)
Such opinion is subject to the general assumptions and limiting conditions found on page
?????. This letter must remain attached to the report, which contains ????? pages, in order for
the value opinion set forth to be considered valid. Particulars and supporting data are provided
in the accompanying report.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael A. Keane
State Certification #TX-1380384-G
michaelakeane@me.com
16) Hypothetical Condition: According to the 2020-2021 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.” The remainder property after the acquisition has been appraised under the
hypothetical condition that the public project is complete and in place and the part acquired
has been put to the use for which it was acquired as of the date of appraisal. This hypothetical
condition is consistent in keeping with previously established public policy. The use of this
hypothetical condition may affect the results of this assignment.
17) Extraordinary Assumption: According to the 2020-2021 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.” The subject is only accessible via a private access easement, which the
appraisers were not granted access to. Thus, the appraisers were only able to complete an
inspection from the public right-of-way, Tom Cole Road, which is just east of the subject.
Therefore, an extraordinary assumption has been made that, with the exception of the gravel
paving, which is visible via aerial imagery, no other site improvements are located within the
acquisition area, and that the subject property does not have any topographical
considerations that would adversely affect the development potential of the subject property.
If this assumption is found to be incorrect, it could necessitate reanalysis.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
1) No responsibility is assumed for matters legal in character or nature, nor matters of survey, nor of any
architectural, structural, mechanical or engineering nature. No opinion is rendered as to the title of the subject
property, which is presumed to be good and marketable. The legal description is assumed to be correct as
used in this report.
2) The property is appraised as though free and clear of any or all liens or encumbrances unless stated.
3) The property is assumed to be under responsible ownership and competent management.
4) The appraisers have not independently verified all of the information furnished or assumptions made with
respect to the appraisal unless otherwise indicated and therefore is not responsible for their content or their
effect on the market value of the property. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable.
However, no warranty is given for its accuracy.
5) All engineering is assumed to be correct. The maps or other illustrative materials included in this report are
intended only to depict spatial relationships. They are not measured surveys nor measured maps, and the
appraiser is not responsible for cartographic or surveying errors. Dimensions and areas of the subject
property and of the comparables were obtained by various means and are not guaranteed to be exact.
6) The appraisal is based on there being no hidden, unapparent, or apparent conditions of the property site,
subsoil, or structures or toxic materials which would render it more or less valuable. No responsibility is
assumed for any such conditions or for any expertise or engineering to discover them.
7) The appraisal is based on the premise that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
environmental regulations and laws unless otherwise stated in this report.
8) This appraisal is based on the assumption that all applicable zoning, building, and use restrictions for all types
have been complied with, unless a nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in report.
9) The assumption has been made that all required licenses, consents, permits or other legislative or
administrative authority, local, state, federal and/or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained
or renewed for any use considered in the value estimate.
10) Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, including without limitation
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum leakage, or agricultural chemicals, which may or may not be
present on the property, or other environmental conditions, were not called to the attention of nor did the
appraiser become aware of such during the appraiser's inspection. The appraisers have no knowledge of the
existence of such materials on or in the property unless otherwise stated. The appraisers, however, are not
qualified to test such substances or conditions. 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.
TODD PROPERTY ADVISORS
REAL PROPERTY ANALYSTS, INC.
Page 6.4
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 2020-2021 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.” The remainder
property after the acquisition has been appraised under the hypothetical condition that the public
project is complete and in place and the part acquired has been put to the use for which it was
acquired as of the date of appraisal. This hypothetical condition is consistent in keeping with
previously established public policy. The use of this hypothetical condition may affect the results of
this assignment.
25) Extraordinary Assumption: According to the 2020-2021 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.” The subject
is only accessible via a private access easement, which the appraisers were not granted access to.
Thus, the appraisers were only able to complete an inspection from the public right-of-way, Tom Cole
Road, which is just east of the subject. Therefore, an extraordinary assumption has been made that,

with the exception of the gravel paving, which is visible via aerial imagery, no other site improvements
are located within the acquisition area, and that the subject property does not have any topographical
considerations that would adversely affect the development potential of the subject property. If this
assumption is found to be incorrect, it could necessitate reanalysis.
