City Engineer City of Coppell 255 Parkway Blvd/P.O. Box 478 ,-, Coppell, Texas 75019 _ Re: BELTLINE ROAD PROJECT 91-829 Parcels 12-se & 12-DE Property Owner: Crow-Billingsley MacArthur, Ltd. ,. An appraisal of a proposed 1.577 acre Permanent Slope Easement and a 1.127 acre Permanent Drainage Easement out of an approximate 39.924 acre tract of land situated adjacent to the southwest quadrant of Beltline Road and MacArthur Boulevard. The parent --- tract is legally described as being part of the John C. Cook Survey, Abstract No. 315, City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas Dear Mr. Cullar: At your request, we have conducted the analysis and investigations necessary to derive the value of -- the whole property (Land Only) and proposed acquisition areas based on the economic conditions which prevailed on the current valuation date of December 1, 1999. It is understood that the function of the appraisal, and of this summary of data and analysis employed in that appraisal process, will be used as a basis for establishing just compensation due to the property owner concerning the intent of the city of Coppell to acquire the referenced right of way for the widening and improvement of _ Beltline Road between MacArthur Boulevard and Denton Tap Road. This appraisal was prepared in accordance with valuation principles which conform with the State _ of Texas condemnation laws and subsequent legal precedents based on, but not limited to, State v Carpenter, 89 SW2nd, 1936. Further this report addresses appraisal guidelines of the International Right of Way Association, the Appraisal Institute, and is classified as a limited summary report .- format under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) promulgated by the Appraisal Foundation. All herein mentioned value estimates are market oriented and based on the principle of Value in Exchange rather than Value in Use to a specified owner. These value terms, -- along with other appraisal terminology, are def'med in the addendum section of this report. The subject property was inspected from various points of reference on several dates in October, -- November and December 1999 with the date of appraisal being December 1, 1999. The boundaries of the proposed easement areas have not been marked. The proposed acquisition area is shown in the photographs contained in this report. 11615 Forest Central Drive · Suite 205 · Dallas, Texas 75243 · (214) 553-1414 Mr Ken Griffin, P.E. December 10, 1999 Based on a review of engineering and profile plans provided by City of Coppell, and an inspection of the subject whole property, after the acquisition the site will have the same access and exposure when compared with the before condition. Marketability and utility of the property should be unchanged. Thoroughfare safety along the frontage of subject property will be significantly improved. The appraisers have analyzed the subject property both before and after the proposed Slope Easement and Drainage Easements and found no diminution in value. The proposed right of way area is located at the northern section of the property, its frontage along Beltline Road, with the entire proposed acquisition areas situated within the flood plain of Grapevine Creek. Details of that analysis can be found in the final section of this report. Neighborhood Description The subject property is situated in southeastern quadrant of the City of Coppell. The immediate area consists of a large amount of vacant land, much of which is low lying and within the flood plain and flood way of Grapevine Creek and the Elm Fork Trinity River. Much of the land area along Belt Line Road is unimproved due to the flood plain situation. Improved properties in the area include retail and service oriented uses at all four comers of the intersection of Beltline Road and MacArthur Boulevard, new single family subdivision currently being developed along the north side of Beltline Road across from the subject. Other improved properties in the vicinity include several additional residential subdivisions consisting of good quality single family residences, good quality multi- family projects along Beltline Road and MacArthur Blvd, and the Riverchase Country Club and Golf Course. concrete batch plant, and a night club across Belt Line Road from the subject. The most notable feature of the area is the large amount of vacant land, and the lack of commercial construction along Belt Line Road between MacArthur Blvd and Denton Tap Rd to the west. In summary, the subject area is a suburban, moderately developed neighborhood which includes a large amount of vacant land situated in the Grapevine Creek and Elm Fork Trinity River flood plains, as well as good quality residential and prominent commercial uses positioned at the intersection of Beltline Road and MacArthur Boulevard. -- Subject Site Description According to investigation of Dallas County Plat Maps, field review by Evaluation Associates, and -- information obtained from the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD), the subject whole property fronts along the south side of Belt Line Road. The tract is irregular in shape, and follows the meander of Grapevine Creek which forms the southern and westem boundaries of the property. It -- is important to note that the subject property includes additional acreage to the south across Grapevine Creek (which is in the city of Irving), and to the west. However for the purposes of this appraisal, the subject property is defined as 39.924 acres, which is the area identified on DCAD maps as the area affected by the proposed acquisition. Also, the subject tract is bisected by a utility right-of-way (see plat map), but it is likely that any development of the subject would occur in concurrence with the utility tract as the right-of-way is for electric transmissions lines. Topographical features include terrain which is below the grade of Beltline Road and adjacent improved properties to the east and south, and slopes downward from north to south. The entire -- subject tract is identified by current FEMA Maps as being within the flood plain of Grapevine Creek - Panel Number 480170 0010 E, dated April 15, 1994. The flood plain elevation for this area is 451 Mr Ken Griffin, P.E. December 10, 1999 feet along the western portion of the tract and 446 feet at the southeast corner of the tract. The flood plain area can only be reclaimed under managed conditions after hydrological study, application to the Corps of Engineers, and approval by both the Corps and the City of Coppell. Also, according to Mike Martin, assistant engineer with the City of Coppell, improved properties must have finished floor elevation of 2-feet above the current flood elevation. ,. It appears costly for an individual owner/developer to undertake the necessary reclamation efforts as there is a considerable area and depth to fill. Given the available land in the surrounding area, and the flood plain problems associated with the subject property, a prolonged holding period can be _ anticipated. In summary, the entire 39.924 acre subject tract is situated within the flood plain of Grapevine Creek. -- The utility of the property is limited. Further study and consultation with a hydrology engineer is required to quantify the economic barriers to development within this flood impacted area. Given the area covered, it is assumed to be considerable. Zoning -- Based on our review of the City of Coppell Zoning Map, the subject whole property is zoned MU, Mixed Use, and is also noted as being situated in the flood plain. The City requires and maintains certain building and site requirements in this district, a copy of which has been retained in the file. -- Property adjacent on the west of the subject tract is currently vacant and situated within the defined flood plain and flood way. Properties immediately to the east, which are several feet higher in elevation than the subject, have been improved with a neighborhood retail center, fast food restaurants and automotive service facility. Properties to the west are vacant and properties to the north across Beltline Road, are currently being developed with single family residences. Given the _ proximity of the flood plain, it is unlikely that the subject could comply with any or all of the current zoning district ordinances. Highest and Best Use The highest and best use is that use which will provide the greatest net return to the owner of the land within applicable physical, legal and financial market acceptance constraints. These criteria are usually considered and tested sequentially; i.e., a use may be financially feasible, but this is irrelevant if it is physically impossible or legally prohibited. Highest and Best Use is defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, 1 lth Edition, published by the Appraisal Institute as being: "the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value." Physical factors include physical characteristics of the site such as shape, size, topography, ingress and egress. The subject property encompasses approximately 39.924 acres. The tract has an irregular shape, frontage along the south side of Beltline Road, and good visibility/exposure. Utility services are available to the improved properties adjacent to the east. The topography of the tract Mr Ken Griffin, P.E. December 10, 1999 -- severely limits the development potential. As noted the entire tract is located within the flood plain or flood way. Quantification of reclamation alternatives were not provided to the appraiser; however, topography maps of the area indicate substantial fill would be required to reclaim this area, ,. including grading, and drainage culverts which both add to development costs and reduces the developable area. The physical influences indicate the encumbrance of flood plain severely limits the utility of the tract. The legal limits in this case are determined by the zoning ordinance. The subject tract is zoned for mixed use. As previously discussed, the adjacent properties include a neighborhood retail center, ,- fast food restaurants, residential development and vacant land. The combined legal and physical factors negatively impact the functional utility of the subject tract. Without significant reclamation efforts, there is no use which could be supported in this area. No offsetting area for flood plain -- mitigation was noted on the subject property in the as is topographical condition. An analysis of financial factors would include determining uses which produce a market accepted -- rate of return based on the risks involved. As noted, the subject tract has limited utility due to the impact of Grapevine Creek flood plain. Without significant reclamation efforts, which were not quantified for this report, the development potential is limited. Highest and Best Use Conclusion -- The highest and best use of the whole subject property is to hold for future development, if it can be reclaimed from the flood plain. Valuation Approach _ Since the subject tract is vacant, the most realistic approach to value is through the direct comparison of land sales. It is noted that the property is located within the flood plain. Several sale transactions were analyzed and adjustments were made to compensate for differing influences on value. A _ detailed summary of those sales considered most representative of the current market, and the conclusions derived from our analysis, have been included in this report. -- Based on information supplied and investigations made by Evaluation Associates personnel, it appears that after the completion of the Beltline Road widening project there should be no negative impact on the remainder resulting from the proposed slope easement and drainage easement - acquisitions. Access and visibility will be the same both before and after the proposed acquisition. Therefore, the site is not adversely affected by the proposed acquisition and the subject property is valued on a land only basis. Additional detail and discussion in support of this conclusion can be '- found in the Analysis and Valuation of the Proposed Acquisition Area section. Conclusion Our research has included an investigation of market and neighborhood trends which are believed to influence the value of the subject whole property (Land Only). Specific attention and consideration was given to the value of the subject property, both before and after the proposed Mr Ken G-riff'm, P.E. December 10, 1999 right of way acquisition area. Based upon our analyses and interpretation of the data, the Market -- Value of the proposed temporary acquisition areas as of December 1, 1999, is estimated to be: SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY SIX DOLLARS ($7,636) ,.. The following narrative report sets forth a description of the subject property along with maps, photographs and other exhibits. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct promulgated by the Appraisal Institute and the International Right of Way Association. The report is subject to the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions included in the Addendum. .- This report was prepared by James W. Cullar, Jr. representing the firm Evaluation Associates, and deriving the analysis and value estimate conclusion. The undersigned assumes responsibility for any required testimony.

I SOU THWES TERN -- RAILWAY -- Evaluation Associates APPRAISAL PROCEDURE The estimation of Market Value of a property that is being appraised is accomplished by the comparison and analysis of as many techniques as are appropriate. Three approaches are generally used to produce value indications for improved properties while only one (the Sales Comparison Approach) is normally employed in analyzing an unimproved property. COST APPROACH The value indication by this approach is accomplished by determining ,.. the Reproduction (or Replacement) Cost New of the improvements less accrued depreciation from all causes to which the value of the land (estimated by comparison) is added. -- SALES COMPARISON APPROACH The comparison of similar properties that have sold · in the marketplace is used to produce an indication of value. The comparison may either be direct or indirect by commonly accepted units or elements of comparison. INCOME APPROACFI This approach to value is applicable to properties capable of producing a net income stream. The net income is translated into a value indication through '- capitalization. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach employed are weighed in the final analysis. The approach or approaches offering the greatest quantity and quality of supporting data are typically '" given most consideration and the final value is then correlated. As noted, the entire subject property is impacted by flood plain with no area currently available to be developed. The area within the flood plain has diminished utility and, consequently, diminished value. Accordingly, the subject property was evaluated and valued based on being entirely ,.. within the flood plain. That being the case, only the Sales Comparison Approach is employed in this instance. ? -10- LAND VALUATION A reliable value indication for the subject tract is provided by an analysis and comparison of sites that have sold in the marketplace. Many factors influence the price of land. The selected sales are analyzed with respect to real property rights conveyed, financing terms, conditions of sale, market conditions, location and physical characteristics. · A transaction price is always predicated on the real property interest conveyed. The revenue generating potential of a property can be limited by the terms of existing leases. · The pumhase price can be influenced by financing terms. Non-market financing terms must be considered to determine the cash equivalent price. · Adjustments for conditions of sale usually reflect the motivations of the buyer(s) and the seller(s). Circumstances such as assemblage sales are considered in this analysis. · Market conditions sometimes change over time and past sales must be analyzed to determine the velocity and direction of change between the sale date and the appraisal date. · The analysis of location includes the comparison of trade or market area, proximity and - accessibility to major thoroughfares and exposure and accessibility to traffic. · The analysis of physical characteristics would include zoning, topography, frontage, depth, shape, proximity to public utilities and other factors influencing the utility or use. - The following sales best represent the current market value of the subject property which is situated ._ entirely within the floodplain LAND SALE SUMMARY _ Land Sale No. 1 Mapsco # D-1B-R Location: N/s SH-190 (projected), 229 i~ west ofIH-35E, Carrollton Grantor: J D Etier -- Grantee: Hunter Ferrell Associates Legal Description: Riverside Community Phase I Section B Date of Sale: January 1, 1997 Volume/Page: 97013/3433 -- Site Data: Size: 22.561 Acres Zoning: Industrial -- Utilities: Available in the area Frontage: SH- 190 (projected) -- Shape: Irregular Topography: Generally level; most of the property is in the flood plain Easements: None detrimental noted _ Improvements: None of value Intended Use: Investment Consideration: $420,000 or $18,616 per acre -- Financing: Cash to seller Comments: The tract is located in the flood plain of the Elm Fork Trinity River -- and Fumeaux Creek.

Lakeland He Evaluation Associates LAND VALUATION SUMMARY LAND VALUATION SUMMARY The subject property is located in the southeastern portion of Coppell. The following table presents the previously described flood plain sales, however there are some differences. Such differences make -- it necessary to apply adjustments to the sale properties in order to reconcile the affect of these features on Market Value. _. RECAPITULATION OF SALES DATA S~eNo~ : Date I S~e {Ac) Zonin~ SP/Aere 1 1/97 22.561 Industrial $18,616 2 6/97 41.44 Commercial $ 7,481 3 10/97 254.443 Industrial $ 8,000 SUBJECT 11/99 39.924' Mixed_Use .... · size obtained froth DCAD tax records The above table capsulizes the data presented on the preceding pages. The chart that follows after this section, uses the sales price per acre as a unit of comparison. The sales are analyzed and compared with the subject tract for similarities and differences. The elements considered to be inferior to the subject property are adjusted upward while the superior qualities of the competitive sales are adjusted downward. Adjustments have been based on the appraisers observations of physically and economically oriented differences in each competitive sale. The amount of adjustment is determined by the extent to which the sale varies from the flood free portion of the subject property. The adjustment process compensates for the difference between the competitive sale and subject and provides an indication of value for the subject property. _ Analysis and Correlation The preceding summary chart displays three land sales for comparison to the subject whole property/parent tract. A reliable value indication for the subject land is provided by an analysis and '" comparison to other vacant land that has recently sold in the marketplace. This market derived sales data has been used to abstract and analyze property features that affect sales price. Rights conveyed, _ financing terms, conditions of sale, market conditions, location, and physical characteristics were factors considered to determine which influences price in the subject market area. LAND VALUATION SUMMARY Rights Conveyed The market value fee simple interest in the subject whole property is being sought in this analysis. During the sales verification process, it was determined that there were no existing leases on any of the sale properties, thus indicating that fee simple interest was transferred in each transaction. Therefore, no adjustment is applied to any of the sales for this factor. -' Financing Terms The adjustment for financing considers the effect that seller financing has on the purchase price of a -- property. Below market interest rates are typically reflected in higher prices per unit. The adjustment for financing is estimated by comparing the financing terms with the terms readily available, as of the sale date, from disinterested parties. All of the sales were cash to the seller. No adjustment is '" applied. .-- Conditions of Sale Adjustments for conditions of sale usually reflect the motivations of the buyer and seller or any unusual concessions by either party to the transaction. The sales were purchased for commercial and high density residential developments. No adjustment for this factor is applied. -- Market Conditions The sales occurred.over an approximate 35-month period prior to the valuation date (November .., 1999). A comparison of the three sales did not provide substantive evidence on which to base a time/market conditions adjustment. Thus, no adjustment for market conditions was applied to the sale properties. Location -- As noted, the subject tract is positioned along the south side of Beltline Road, just west of MacArthur Boulevard. The Beltline Rd/MacArthur Blvd intersection has developed with neighborhood retail centers, fast food restaurants, and other service oriented uses. In addition, a good quality residential subdivision is currently going in across fi.om the subject on the north side of Beltline Road. -- Sale No. 1 is located just west oflH-35E, along the north side of proposed SH-190 which is the new outer loop around Dallas County. The surrounding vicinity consists of scattered developments and _ is rated similar when compared to the subject locale. Thus, no adjustment for location is applied to Sale No. 1. Sale No. 2 is positioned along the north side of IH-30, west of Green Oaks Boulevard. This property LAND VALUATION SUMMARY was purchased for development-of an 18 hole golf course, which as of the date of appraisal, is in -- operation. During the past several years the area around this sale property has steadily developed with commercial and residential uses. Overall, this location is rated inferior to the subject tract due quality of surrounding developments. An upward adjustment is made. Sale No. 3 is situated approximately one mile east of the subject, along the south side of Beltline -- Road. This area is influenced by similar locational characteristics as the subject tract. The location 0f Sale No. 3 is rated similar to the subject and no adjustment is applied. Physical Features, Size The terrain of the subject property is uneven and requires considerable fill prior to any commercial use. As noted each of the three sale properties are also located within the flood plain. It is noted that the purchasers of Sale No. 1 are known throughout the surrounding counties for their mining -- operations of sand gravel. While the appraisers were not informed as to the extent of minerals on the tract, a downward adjustment is applied for this factor. The physical characteristics of Sale Nos. 2 and 3 are rated similar to the subject. The subject tract contains 39.924 acres. The three sales range in size from 22.561 acres to 254.443 -- acres. The market for real estate is comparable to that for other commodities in that price is sometimes influenced by volume (quantity or scarcity). It can generally be demonstrated that as ._ volume decreases, the price per unit will likely rise. In contrast, unit price typically declines when volume increases. If all other attributes are equal the site may sell for more on a unit basis than a larger one due to reduced holding costs and less risk. However, smaller tracts which may have -- limited utility and possibly an extended marketing time sometimes sell for less per square foot than a larger tract. Therefore, in real estate, the aspect of quantity discounting should not be assumed -- because it is not an economic principle, but rather an inconsistent market reaction. It should be supported by market transactions, if available. Although the review of details of the three sales properties did not reveal a paired sales analysis, the appraisers have applied an adjustment for size to Sale Nos. 1 and 3. Sale No. 1 is one-half the size of the subject and a downward adjustment was. made. Sale No. 3, which contains over 254 acres, is over six-times the size of the subject, and an -- upward adjustment was appropriate. The following table summarizes the adjustment process. LAND VALUATION SUMMARY I I SP/AC $18,616 $7,481 $8,000 Rights Conveyed Fee simple Fee simple Fee simple Financin~ Cash Cash Cash Conditions of Sale Market Market Market Market Conditions Similar Similar Similar Adjusted Price $18,616 $7,481 $8,000 Location Similar Inferior Similar Physical features, Superior, Similar Larger Size mining + potential Net Adjustment -30% 25% 40% Indicated Value $13,031 $9,351 $11,200 At~er adjustments were made to the sale properties, this approach produced a relatively reliable range '" of indicators. Sale No. 3, being in proximity to the subject and having frontage along Beltline Road, is rated most similar to the subject tract. In view of these indicators, the Market Value of the subject .. land is estimated to be: 39.924 Acres x $12,000/AC = $479,088 Rounded to: $480,000 CORRELATION AND CONCLUSION The subject property is valued as an unimproved tract of land. Therefore it was not necessary to separately evaluate any buildings. There was no construction cost or accrued deprecation to analyze. In this appraisal situation, the Cost Approach was not considered applicable. Also, since there is no trend toward land leases in the area and there is no existing or feasible activity to generate reliable and consistent rental or lease income attributable to the land, the Income Approach to estimate value was not utilized. The Sales Comparison Approach analyzes trends of buyers and sellers from the analysis of competitive land sales. Three land sales which are situated entirely in the flood plain were selected for comparison with the subject property. Rights conveyed, financing terms, conditions of sale, location, market conditions and physical characteristics were factors analyzed to determine the influence on price in this market area. Each sale was inspected, analyzed and compared with the subject property. The Sales Comparison Approach produced the only reliable and supportable indication of market value for the subject property.

The Slope Easement is situated across -- the northern boundary of the subject tract, adjacent to the Beltline Road frontage. The Drainage Easement is situated in the eastern portion of the subject tract and extends from just south of the ,. Slope Easement and along the eastern boundary of the tract. Slope Easement "' According to the attached surveyor's field notes, the proposed acquisition area consists of 68,715 square feet or 1.577 acres for the widening of Beltline Road. However, as previously noted Texas -- Utilities Electric Company owns a portion of the area which is proposed to be acquired for the road widening project. The area which is owned by Texas Utilities Electric Co. in the proposed acquisition includes approximately 145 feet of frontage by a depth of 45 feet for a total of 6,525 square feet. The 6,525 square feet is subtracted from the 68,715 square feet for a total easement acquisition of 62,190 square feet or 1.428 acres. The location, dimensions and shape of the proposed acquisition area is -- shown on the Acquisition Map exhibit page. The proposed easement acquisition area is an irregular shaped strip of land along the northern property boundary. Property rights being appraised in this _ acquisition area are not fee simple, and thus some rights of ownership are retained. In as much as the proposed acquisition area is along the frontage of the subject property, the easement area may still be used in the required set back of any possible future development. Thus, it is estimated that the rights to be acquired represent 10% of the fee simple. -- Drainage Easement According to the attached surveyor's field notes, the proposed acquisition area consists of 49,112 -. square feet or 1.127 acres for a drainage easement ineonjunction with the widening of Beltline Road. The location, dimensions and shape of the proposed acquisition area is shown on the Acquisition Map exhibit page. The proposed easement acquisition area is an irregular shaped strip of land along the "' northeast and eastern property boundary. Property rights being appraised in this acquisition area are not fee simple, and thus some rights of ownership are retained. In as much as the proposed -- acquisition area is along the eastern boundary of the subject property, the easement area may still be used in the required side yard set back of any possible future development. Thus, it is estimated that the rights to be acquired represent 10% of the fee simple. Slope Easement 1.428 Acres x $12,000 x 10% = $1,714 Drainage Easement 1.127 Acres x $12,000 x 10% = $1,352 Total Easement Acquisition $ 3,066 -29- ANAL YSIS AND VALUATION OF PROPOSED A CQ UISITION AREA Fencing The existing fencing which approximately parallels the north and eastern sides of the subject tract is very old, but appears to be 100%. functional. There are various ways to account for compensation for fencing. The method selected for this appraisal is based on the assumption that the remainder will require fencing after the acquisition, and the cost of the new fencing will be funded through payment for fencing in this category. This is more straight forward than' calculating the possibly depreciated value of the older current fencing and including that amount in the value of the part to be acquired, then adding back another amount as a loss in value of the remainder which would need to be added together to purchase new fencing for the remainder tract. With this explanation, it should be understandable and clear that the herein compensation for the fencing discussed in this section is calculated based on the anticipated amount required to install new, similar fencing with similar utility. Fencing in the proposed acquisition area, 1,828 LF x $2.50/LF = $ 4,570 · - Value of the Remainder Before the Acquisition The value of the Remainder Before the Acquisition is simply the mathematical difference between the value of the whole property less the value of the Proposed Acquisition Area. Therefore, the value of the Remainder Before the Acquisition can be calculated as follows: -- Whole Property Value $480,000 Less: Value of Proposed Acquisition Areas $ 3.066 _ Value of the Remainder Before the Acquisition' $476,934 Value of the Remainder After the Acquisition As noted, the proposed easement acquisiti6n areas will be used for a slOpe easement to widen Beltline Road along the northern boundary of the subject, and construct a drainage easement along the eastern boundary of the subject tract. After the proposed acquisition, the remaining tract will have a similar highest and best use as before the acquisition. Also, the subject ingress/egress will remain the same. Analysis indicates the net affect of the easements will cause no reduction in the value of the Remainder After the Acquisition beyond the proportionate value of the whole property. Also, since the easement is positioned away from any proposed development, any impact on the existing use or potential use is minimal to nil. Surface rights remain with the property owner and most any use of the easement is permitted except construction of permanent buildings. The Remainder will retain similar use and marketability before and after the proposed acquisitions. Since there is no negative effect on the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the Remainder After the Acquisition, the value of the Remainder after the proposed Acquisition of the Permanent Easement is not less than the Remainder Before the Acquisition: RECAPITULATION .- A recapitulation of the pertinent values of the whole property, the proposed acquisition area, the remainder before and after the acquisition are depicted below: " Value of the Whole Property (Land Only) $480,000 Value of Proposed Acquisition Areas $ 3,066 Value of the Remainder Before the Acquisition (Land Only) $476,934 Value of the Remainder After the Acquisition (Land Only) $476,934 ,_ Improvements within the acquisition area $ 4,570 Damages $ -0- Total Compensation $7,636 -- AFFIDAVIT AND CERTIFICATE OF VALUE The undersigned does hereby certify that, except as otherwise noted in this appraisal report that: 1.

That title to the individual property will be good and marketable and that title is in fee simple under single ownership unless otherwise stated. 2. No responsibility is assumed by the appraiser for matters of legal character. The value is reported without regard to questions of title, boundaries, encumbrances, easements and encroaehmems. All existing liens and encumbrances have been disregarded, and the property is appraised as though free and clear under responsible ownership and management unless otherwise stated. 3. The valuation is reported in dollars of currency prevailing on the date of the appraisal. 4. If the subject is an improved property, the sketches in this report are approximate and are included, together with the photography, to assist the reader in visualizing the property. 5. All information and comments pertaining to this and other properties represent the combination of facts provided by others and the professional opinion of the appraiser, formed after careful examination and study of the subject property. Hence, the work product of the appraiser is an estimate. While it is believed that the information, estimates and analyses which led to the herein stated estimated value conclusions are correct, and the primary appraiser is prepared to testify as to the applicability of the selected data to the valuation of the subject property, the appraiser does not guarantee any element of the data base. Nor does he assume any financial liability for errors in facts provided by others, analysis or judgement. The client's remedy is referral of a faulty analysis to the Appraisal Institute, the International Right of Way Association, and/or the Texas Appraisal Licensing and Certification Board. 6. This is a financial decision document. It is not a marketing tool. Therefore no part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraiser or the firm with which he is connected, or any reference to the professional organizations that designate the appraisers or to the applicable designation) shall be disseminated to the public through advertising media, public relations media, news media, sales media or any other public means of communication other than the intent of the report as a financial decision tool for the original client. 7. Given adequate preparation notice, the appraiser is prepared to provide testimony and to appear in court by reason of this appraisal, under separate contract, at the request of the original client. 8. 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 buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used. 9. Also, the value is estimated under the assumption that there will be no international or domestic, political, economic, or military actions that will seriously affect real estate values throughout the country. 10. Real estate values are influenced by a large number of external factors. The analysis included all of the data necessary to form an informed highest and best use and value conclusion. The report -- Evaluation Associates ASSUMPTIONS, LIMITING CONDITIONS & DISCLOSURES VALUE does not include all the data necessary to support the value estimate. All pertinent facts have been referenced in this report, but we do not guarantee that we have knowledge of all factors that might influence the value of the subject. Due to rapid changes in the external factors, the value estimate is considered reliable only as of the date of the appraisal and any related testimony. 11. In the event the appraisal is based upon proposed improvements, it is assumed that the improvements will be constructed in substantial conformity with plans and specifications that -- have been furnished the appraiser, and with good materials and workmanship. It is also assumed that the proposed foundation and construction techniques are adequate for the existing sub-soil conditions. 12. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of environmentally hazardous or damaging material, which may or may not be present on the property, was not observed by the appraiser. _ The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos or urea-formaldehyde may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is -- predicted on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property that would cause such a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client, property owner and/or prospective purchaser is advised to conduct environmental due diligence with regard to the '" - property including having the necessary environmental assessments and/or environmental audits made to determine if any environmental problems related to the subject property exist. If any environmental problems are found which effect the subject property, the value estimate contained -- in this report is subject to review and may not be valid. 13. The American and Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. I (We) have not -- made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the -- ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property. Since I (we) have no direct evidence relating to this issue, I (we) did not consider possible _ noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property. -- Evaluation Associates DEFINITION OF TERMS 1.
