Location: Golden Gate Boulevard E.
Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida
Our File Number: 15-150-403
Dear Mr. Henderson:
At your request and authorization, Carlson, Norris and Associates, Inc. has completed an
appraisal presented in an Appraisal Report format of the market value estimate for the total
compensation due to the property owner for the proposed road right-of-way, drainage and utility
easement acquisition.
The parent tract is located along the north side of Golden Gate Blvd. E. approximately 0.2 miles
east of Everglades Blvd. N. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. It is rectangular and contains
a total of 5.15 acres or approximately 224,400 square feet. The parcel is a vacant wooded site
with a width of 330 feet and a depth of 680 feet.
The proposed road right-of-way, drainage and utility easement acquisition area (Parcel 403
RDUE) is irregular shaped and contains 6,550 square feet rounded. It varies from 15 or 25 feet
wide by 330.00 feet. It is located along the north side of the existing roadway easement in the
southerly portion of the parent tract. The acquisition area did not appear to contain any
improvements. The remainder property contains 5.15 acres including the proposed easement
acquisition area.
Data, information, and calculations leading to the value conclusion are incorporated in the report
following this letter. The report, in its entirety, including all assumptions and limiting conditions, is
an integral part of, and inseparable from, this letter. Any special assumptions and limiting
considerations were especially noted in Section 7 of this report. Your attention is directed to these
General Assumptions and Limiting Conditions which are part of this report.
The following appraisal sets forth the most pertinent data gathered, the techniques employed, and
the reasoning leading to the opinion of value. The analyses, opinions and conclusions were
developed based on, and this report has been prepared in conformance with, our interpretation of
the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation, the requirements of the Code of Professional

Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of
the Appraisal Foundation. The appraisers' knowledge and experience, combined with their
professional qualifications, are commensurate with the complexity of this assignment based on the
following:
• Professional experience
• Educational background and training
• Business, professional, academic affiliations and activities
The appraisers have previously provided consultation, value estimates, and compensation due to
property owners for right of way acquisitions.
Scope of Work: The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) define the
scope of work as: “the type and extent of research and analyses in an assignment”. “The scope of
work includes, but is not limited to: the extent to which the property is identified, the extent to which
tangible property is inspected, the type and extent of market research and the type and extent of
analysis applied to arrive at opinions or conclusions.”
The scope of this appraisal has been to collect, confirm, and report data. Other general market
data and conditions have been considered. Consideration has been given the property’s zoning
and surrounding improvements and neighborhood. The work performed for this assignment
included but is not limited to the following:
• Extent to which the property was identified
o The appraisers relied on sketches, construction plans and right-of-way maps
provided by our client and parcel numbers obtained from the Collier County
Property Appraiser’s office relating to the subject property. In addition, we obtained
a copy of the legal description for the parent parcel from the instrument recording
the most recent transfer of the property.
• Extent to which the property was inspected
o An inspection of the property being appraised as well as the neighborhood in which
it is located was done on November 18, 2015. During the inspection, an inventory
of the property attributes was collected based on visual observation and
photographs taken.

C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .

• Type and extent of the data researched
o Investigation of public records for the property’s future land use, zoning, flood
hazard area classification, property appraiser records, and tax collector records for
attributes of the property.
o Collection and analysis of comparable land sales in order to form an opinion of the
value of the underlying land.
§ Sales and listings in the market area were located and were selected
based on physical and location characteristics.
§ The data was verified with the buyer, seller, or representative of the
comparable as well as the public records.
• Type and extent of analysis applied
o The value opinions presented in this report are based upon review and analysis of
the market conditions affecting real property value, including land values and sales
data for similar properties.
o Three approaches were considered to be utilized in determining value. 1) Cost
Approach – either replacement or reproduction cost is used to develop a value
indication for the subject property. 2) Income Approach – valued on the ability of a
property generating a cash stream. 3) Sales Comparison Approach – value
indication is derived by comparing sales of similar properties. It is the most
common and preferred method of land valuation when an appropriate supply of
comparable sales are available.
o As the subject property contains no improvements, the Cost Approach is not
considered to be an applicable appraisal tool.
o Vacant land is not generally purchased for its ability to generate a cash stream;
therefore, the Income Approach is not utilized.
o The analyst will utilize the Sales Comparison Approach exclusively in estimating
the market value for the subject property.

§ An investigation of comparable land sales and active listings of similar
unimproved properties were utilized. The sales and listings were
considered in order to make a comparative analysis which would lead to
the completion of the Sales Comparison Approach.
o The value opinion presented in this report is based upon review and analysis of
the market conditions affecting real property value, including land values, cost and
depreciation estimates (where appropriate), the attributes of competitive
properties, and sales data for similar properties.
o In estimating the compensation due to the property owner, the analyst provided
different values for the property. Initially a value estimate for the parent tract was
obtained prior to the proposed acquisition. Next an estimate was obtained for the
acquisition area. Then the remainder property before and after the acquisition was
estimated. Finally, we provided an estimate of the total compensation due the
owner.
o Preparation of a written report.
To develop the opinion of value, Carlson, Norris and Associates, Inc. performed an appraisal as
defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). In this appraisal,
Carlson, Norris and Associates, Inc. used the Sales Comparison Approach to develop a reliable
value indication.
Furthermore, the value conclusion reflects information about the subject and market conditions.
This appraisal of the subject has been presented in the form of an Appraisal Report, which is
intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the
USPAP.
Property Rights Appraised: The property ownership rights appraised in this appraisal are those
known as fee simple for the parent tract and easement for the proposed road right-of-way,
drainage and utility easement acquisition area.

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
Easement is defined as: “The right to use another’s land for a stated purpose.”
Bundle of Rights Theory is defined as: “The concept that compares property ownership to a
bundle of sticks with each stick representing a distinct and separate right of the property
owner, e.g., the right to use real estate, to sell it, to lease it, to give it away, or to choose to
exercise all or none of these rights.”
Market Value Definition: The following definition of market value is used by agencies that
regulate federally insured financial institutions in the United States: “The most probable price that
a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair
sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified
date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
• Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their
best interests;
• A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
• Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and
• The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with
the sale.”

knowledge the subject is not currently listed for sale and we are not aware of contracts or offerings
to purchase at this time.
Valuation History: The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice requires the
appraiser to divulge any services provided on the subject property during the preceding five years.
J. Lee Norris, Timothy P. Foster or Carlson, Norris and Associates, Inc. have not completed an
appraisal of the subject property, nor have we provided any services related to the property during
the five years preceding the date of this appraisal.
Appraisal Analysis and Report Type: The Appraisal Standards Board controls the process of
making an appraisal of a parcel of real estate. The Board issues rules and guidelines from which
all appraisals and resulting reports are made. The process of administration of those rules and
guidelines is addressed to the Real Estate Appraiser Commission of each respective state. The
Appraisal Standards Board issues the rules and guidelines in the form of a document update
published each year by The Appraisal Foundation. That document is entitled “The Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” (USPAP).
As of January 1, 2014, the two types of appraisal types are; Appraisal Report and Restricted
Appraisal Report. The appraisers have used the Appraisal Report option. The following
definitions have been adopted for each type of report:
• An Appraisal Report: A written report prepared under Standards Rule 2-2(a).
• Restricted Appraisal Report: A written report prepared under Standards Rule 2-
2(b).
Exposure Time is defined as: “The estimated length of time that the property interest being
appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale
at market value on the effective date of appraisal. Exposure time is a retrospective opinion based
on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market.” Exposure time is
therefore interrelated with appraisal conclusion of value.”
An estimate of exposure time is not intended to be a prediction of a date of sale or a simple one-
line statement. Instead, it is an integral part of the appraisal analysis and is based on one or more
of the following:
• statistical information about days on the market
C O L L I E R C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N R I G H T -O F W A Y G R O U P
C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .
11
• information gathered through sales verification
• interviews of market participants.
The reasonable exposure period is a function of price, time, and use. It is not an isolated estimate
of time alone. Exposure time is different for various types of real estate and under various market
conditions.
In consideration of these factors, we may have analyzed the following:
• Exposure periods of comparable sales revealed during the course of this appraisal;
• Macroeconomic exposure times for the subject property type across the Subject MSA
and the entire United States as published in multiple articles and websites.
• Knowledgeable real estate professionals.
The sales used in this report sold in a period of one to seventeen months. A majority of the sales
sold in less than twelve months. It is our opinion that properties that are competitively marketed
would have an exposure time of up to 12 months. This exposure time assumes the subject parcel
would have been competitively priced and aggressively promoted within the market area.
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.” The marketing time is an estimate of the
number of months it will require to sell the subject from the date of value, into the future. The
anticipated marketing time is essentially a measure of the perceived level of risk associated with
the marketability, or liquidity, of the subject property. The marketing time estimate is based on the
data used in estimating the reasonable exposure time, in addition to an analysis of the anticipated
changes in market conditions following the date of appraisal. The future price for the subject (at the
end of the marketing time) may or may not equal the appraisal estimate. The future price depends
on unpredictable changes in the physical real estate, demographic and economic trends, real
estate markets in general, supply/demand characteristics for the property type, and many other
factors.

C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .
12
Based on the premise that present market conditions are the best indicators of future performance,
a prudent investor will forecast that, under the conditions described above, the subject will require
a marketing time of up to 12 months.
Hypothetical Condition is defined as: “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. Hypothetical conditions are contrary to known facts
about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions
external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in
an analysis.” A hypothetical condition may be used in an assignment only if:
• Use of the hypothetical condition is clearly required for legal purposes, for purposes of
reasonable analysis, or for purposes of comparison;
• Use of the hypothetical condition results in a credible analysis; and
• The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in USPAP for
hypothetical conditions.
Please note the following hypothetical condition:
• For the sake of this report we assumed the proposed acquisition and roadway
improvements have been completed as of the date of value, November 18, 2015.
Extraordinary Assumption is defined as: “An assumption, directly related to a specific
assignment, as of the effective date of the assignment results, which, if found to be false, could
alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact
otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject
property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or
about the integrity of data used in an analysis.” An extraordinary assumption may be used in an
assignment only if:
• It is required to properly develop credible opinions and conclusions;
• The appraiser has a reasonable basis for the extraordinary assumption;
• Use of the extraordinary assumption results in a credible analysis; and
• The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in USPAP for
extraordinary assumptions.

Please note the following extraordinary assumptions:
• A soil analysis for the site has not been provided for the preparation of this appraisal. In the
absence of a soil report, it is a specific assumption that the site has adequate soils to
support the highest and best use. The analyst is not an expert in area of soils, and would
recommend that an expert be consulted.
• It is assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions to the property, soil, or
subsoil, which would render them more or less valuable. Subsurface oil, gas or mineral
rights were not considered in this report unless otherwise stated. The analyst is not an
expert with respect to subsurface conditions, and would recommend that an expert be
consulted.
• It is assumed that there are no hazardous materials either at ground level or subsurface.
None were noted during the property inspection. The analyst is not an expert in the
evaluation of site contamination, and would recommend that an expert be consulted.
• The appraisers were not provided a wetland study or report for the subject property. The
value conclusions are based on the extraordinary assumption that any wetlands on the
subject property would be minimal and would not affect its development potential.

Section 3 – Description of Real Estate Appraised
Location Map
COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
Overview: The subject property is located in Golden Gate Estates within Collier County, Florida,
some 170 miles south of Tampa and some 120 miles northwest of Miami. Collier County is
located on the extreme southwestern portion of the state of Florida. It is the largest county in the
state (in terms of land area) with 2,026 square miles which includes 821,600 acres of preserves,
parks, and refuges. The most highly developed areas within the county are west of Interstate 75
and along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico. Development becomes increasingly sparse the
more easterly the location in the county; and these easterly areas of the county contain a
considerable amount of preserved land. There are three incorporated cities within the county;
namely City of Naples, City of Marco Island, and Everglades City.
Collier County was created during the Florida land boom in the 1920s, the start of modern
C O L L I E R C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N R I G H T -O F W A Y G R O U P

15
development of the area. (1) Collier County was actually created in 1923 and was separated out
from what was a larger Lee County. Collier County is named for Barron Collier, a New York City
advertising mogul and real estate developer had moved to southwest Florida and established
himself as prominent business man and land owner. By the end of the decade railroads and
Tamiami Trail were in-place which opened the area to agricultural and resort development.
Florida’s first commercial oil well was drilled in 1943, and the county’s pine and cypress logging
industry flourished into the 1950s. The county’s economy boomed along with its population shortly
after World War II. In a short span of 30 years the population increased from 6,500 to 86,000 by
1980. The economy was sustained from agribusiness, tourism and real estate. This turned the
county into one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
The county is famous for its subtropical climate with average high temperatures ranging from 75o
F. in January to 91o Fahrenheit in July and August. The average annual precipitation for the
county is 51.9 inches. This area is also subject to tropical storms and hurricanes. The hurricane
season runs from June through November. The most recent damaging storm to hit this area was
named Wilma. National Public Radio described this storm with the following quote: “Hurricane
Wilma hit southwest Florida at dawn as a Category 3 storm, packing winds of 125 mph that took
off roofs, damaged homes, downed power lines and brought flooding as far south as Key West.
The storm remained powerful as it crossed from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean.” This

Tourism is important business for Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades. As the leading
employer and the primary economic engine for the region, the tourism industry is responsible for
over 34,000 jobs in Collier County. Over 1.6 million visitors in 2013 spent over $1.08 million
dollars, resulting in a total economic impact of over $1.6 billion to Collier County. Collier County
enacts a 4% tax on all hotel, campground, vacation rental stays of less than six months. The
distribution of tourist development tax dollars is set according to Collier County ordinance. The
funds are dispersed as follows; Category A is beach related projects and re-nourishment, 50% of
the first 2% allocated for beach re-nourishment, beach park facilities and inlet management. 100%
of the third percent collected is allocated to beach re-nourishment, beach park facilities and inlet
management. Category B is tourism promotion, 24% of the first 2% collected pays for tourism
administration and for re-imbursement of emergency advertising funds. 100% of the fourth
percent pays for tourism advertising and promotion. Category C is museums, 26% of the first 2%
is allocated for museums. County owned museums receive 22%, non-county museums receive
4.764%.
New Development: A relatively new town is developing in the eastern part of Collier County
known as Ave Maria. The town is located on what was once largely agricultural land and it is
centered around Ave Maria University, the country’s newest Catholic University. The university

opened its doors in 2007 and plans to grow to 5,500 undergraduate and graduate students. The
town is designed to be a compact, walk-able, self-sustaining town that reflects the community’s
rural roots while offering a full range of residential options and commercial services to its residents.
The Ave Maria community totals about 5,000 acres, of which nearly 20% has designated as the
University Campus. A Town Core anchored by the landmark oratory that also incorporates retail,
commercial, and residential living space provides a central connection between the town and the
university. Business is expanding in Collier County as evidenced by a surgical device company
that recently broke ground on a site near Ave Maria University to build a $25 million manufacturing
plant. This construction project is expected to bring 500 construction jobs to the area this year;
and once complete, the plant will employ 403 to 500 workers.
Government: The county government is headed by a Board of Commissioners. There are five
commissioners, each assigned to a specific geographical area within the county. A County
Manager coordinates most of the departments including county services, public services,
community development/environmental services, utilities and transportation. The county is
currently experiencing a decline in revenues which will result in future capital improvement plans
being significantly cut back. Additionally operating expenses are under increasing pressures due
to legislative mandates from the state, escalating costs of property insurance and health benefits,
and the overall economic downturn.
Transportation: The infrastructure of the county continues to see improvements. Interstate 75
has been widened to six lanes from Fort Myers to Golden Gate Parkway in Naples. The County
recently widened several major corridors such as Immokalee Road, Collier Boulevard, Rattlesnake
Hammock Road and Goodlette-Frank Road. East Naples was not overlooked, with road widening
projects along Collier Boulevard, Santa Barbara Boulevard and Radio Road. Major north south
roads are: US 41, Interstate 75, Airport Pulling Road and Livingston Parkway. The Collier County
Government has worked diligently to develop an efficient road system that will accommodate
future growth; and it is likely to continue to develop the necessary road infrastructure in the years
to come.
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, Florida satisfies the passenger traffic
needs for the fast growing population of Southwest Florida. RSW is the eighth fastest growing
airport in the nation, servicing more than 8 million passengers a year. More than two dozen
commercial airlines currently serve Southwest Florida Regional Airport with non-stop service to

more than 27 domestic and two international destinations. The Southwest Florida International
Airport also maintains customs clearing facilities for international cargo. RSW is located off
Interstate-75 in South Lee County, an approximate 30 minute drive from most areas of Naples. In
2005 the airport was completely updated and expanded to meet the growing demand of area
businesses and visitors. The $386 million ultra-modern complex includes a two story terminal with
28 aircraft gates along three concourses, a new taxiway, and new parking options that includes a
three story parking structure. The facility will allow for incremental expansion up to 65 gates.
Construction was recently completed on a direct access connection between I-75 and the airport.
In March 2015 passenger activity for the three southwest Florida airports grew to 1,425,354
persons of 31% over February 2015 and 4% higher than March 2014. Premier International in
southwest Florida had passenger activity totaling 1,181,382 enplanements in March 2015 which is
a 3% over one year earlier.
The Naples Municipal Airport is a fully certificated air carrier airport. The airport also provides FBO
services for general aviation including fueling and catering. It is the home to charter airlines,
aircraft maintenance facilities, a restaurant, fire/rescue services, mosquito control, car rental
agencies, the Collier County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit, flight schools, the Humane Society, and over
40 additional aviation and non-aviation businesses. The airport encompasses approximately 732
acres of land, approximately two miles northeast of Old Naples with convenient access to major
roads and Interstate-75.

which employs more than 13,000 people. Major employers in this area are NCH Healthcare with
4,000 employees and Collier County Public Schools which employs nearly 3,000 teachers. As the
Collier County population matures, employment in the healthcare industry will continue to make up
a larger part of overall employment. Below you will find a top 25 employer chart in Collier County
as developed through Reference USA and FGCU.

below chart shows more detail with regards to the public schools system.
High speed fiber optic networks now span all of Collier County, providing businesses with leading
edge internet, VOIP, and wireless services. Collier County Public Schools are all interconnected
via multiple fiber rings enabling the educational institutions to leverage technology to present our

Collier County is home to several colleges and universities. As mentioned, Ave Maria University is
a newly established Catholic University offering liberal arts oriented baccalaureate degrees as well
as some graduate degree programs. The county is also home to branch campuses of Florida
Southwestern State College and Florida Gulf Coast University.
General Real Estate Discussion: Collier County was not spared from the national economic
downturn (2007-2009). Collier County experienced a significant increase in residential and
commercial property values from 2004 through 2006. Several news publications rated Naples as
the most over-valued area of the country with respect to residential housing values. The decline in
residential property values began in 2006. Inventory levels began to rise as investors and owners
positioned themselves to sell at a significant profit. However, buyers were reluctant to purchase
any property with a sense that the economy as a whole was headed for trouble. Many investors
were not able to meet their carrying costs and properties went into foreclosure. Southwest Florida
became the epicenter for residential property foreclosures with communities such as Golden Gate
at the forefront of the crisis in Collier County.

C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .
23
Residential construction projects in various stages of development were stopped as housing
inventories continued to rise and prices began to fall significantly. Southwest Florida thrived on the
residential construction industry; and with no homes to build, this industry was quickly decimated.
Contractors that supplied this industry typically ran their businesses from various industrial
locations in Collier and Lee Counties. This type of property was the first commercial property to be
adversely affected with retail and office properties following.
There are 24+/- industrial parks and parks of commerce located throughout Collier County. Each
park is proximate to Interstate-75 for connection to major air transportation and water ports. Collier
County’s zoning allows the flexibility of properties of 19 acres or more to be zoned as Research
and Technology Parks, which are based on commerce parks and offer advanced infrastructure to
attract technology based businesses.
Single family permits are an indicator of health in an economy of a given area. Below is a chart
showing single family permits issued on a monthly basis from 2005 to 2014. This chart shows
clearly that at the height of the market in 2005 over 300 permits being issued per month. In the
bottom of the recession in 2009 Collier County was below 50 permits per month. In 2014 the
average was approaching 200 permits per month. This indicates a steady improvement in the
economic conditions as far as the real estate market is concerned. Single family permits identify
houses under construction and therefore reflect jobs in the construction industry.

Conclusion: In summary, Collier County is located along the west coast of Florida along the Gulf
of Mexico. The climate is sub-tropical with mild winters that allow for year round enjoyment of the
many attractions this area offers. Collier County is a desirable destination for residents and non-
residents alike. In spite of the many positives, portions of Collier County were greatly affected by
the past housing debacle which resulted in a significant number of residential foreclosures, a
significant decline in residential and commercial development, and a high unemployment rate.
While the current “improving” economic climate will keep commercial and residential development
at bay in the short term, the availability of commercial vacant land, the county's numerous natural
attractions, and the anticipated future population growth will bode well for this area over the long
term.
Collier County has tremendous opportunities as far as employment is concerned in many different
industries. The diversity of job opportunities spans a significant range from low income persons to
jobs of very high income people as well. There are tremendous recreational facilities with
numerous golf course, beaches and recreational parks, not to mention the significant amount of
land that is federally held in conservation in the eastern portions of the county. The public school
system is good and provides for a well-rounded public education for the students that reside within
the county. Property values continue to increase, the median price for a single-family home was
$392,000 up 23% from a year earlier. In fact, Collier County is one the leading areas in the nation
in terms of property appreciation over the last 12 months with significant construction and
development occurring.
GOLDEN GATE ESTATES AREA
Overview: The subject property is located in Golden Gate Estates within the eastern portion of
Naples in Collier County, Florida. This community was acquired and developed in 1960 and was

Market Area Map
Market Area is defined as: “The geographic region from which a majority of demand comes and
in which the majority of competition is located. Depending on the market, a market area may be
further subdivided into components such as primary, secondary, and tertiary market areas, or the
competitive market area may be distinguished from the general market area.”
Market Area:
Boundaries: Northern Randall Boulevard
Southern 18th Avenue SE
Eastern Desoto Boulevard
Western Wilson Boulevard

Life Stage: “Because market areas are perceived, organized, constructed, and
used by people, each has a dynamic quality. Appraisers describe this
quality as a market area’s life cycle. The complimentary land uses
that make up neighborhoods and homogeneous land uses within
districts typically evolve through four stages:
1. Growth – a period during which the market area gains public
favor and acceptance
2. Stability – a period of equilibrium without marked gains or
losses
3. Decline – a period of diminishing demand
4. Revitalization – a period of renewal, redevelopment,
modernization and increasing demand”
It is our opinion that the subject market area in the eastern portion of
Golden Gate Estates is currently in the growth cycle. Sales prices
and transactions have been increasing for the last couple of years for
single family residences and for vacant land.

Section 4 – Highest and Best Use Analysis
The principal of highest and best use is defined as: “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.”
• Permissible Use (Legal) - what uses are permitted by zoning and deed restrictions on the
site in question?
• Possible Use- to what uses is it physically possible to put the site in question?
• Feasible Use-, which possible and permissible uses will produce any net return to the
owner of the site?
• Highest and best Use- among the feasible uses, which use will produce the highest net
return or the highest present worth?
Highest and Best Use “As Vacant”
Legally Permissible: Factors that impact the legally permissible uses for the subject
property include such things as the comprehensive land use plan classification, zoning
classification, deed restrictions and government regulations. The subject has a future land
use designation within the Estates District. This district is characterized by low density semi-
rural residential lots with limited opportunities for other land uses. Typical lots are 2.25 acres
in size. However, there are some legal non-conforming lots as small as 1.14 acres.
Residential density is limited to a maximum of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per
legal non-conforming lot of record, exclusive of guesthouses. Multiple family dwelling units,
duplexes, and other structures containing two or more principal dwellings, are prohibited in all
Districts and Subdistricts in this Designation.
The subject’s future land use designation is also within the Residential Estates Subdistrict.
This indicates that single-family residential development is allowed within this Subdistrict at a
maximum density of one unit per 2.25 gross acres, or one unit per legal non-conforming lot of
record, exclusive of guesthouses.

The subject is zoned Estate District (E). The purpose and intent of the estates district (E) is to
provide lands for low density residential development in a semi-rural to rural environment,
with limited agricultural activities. The dimensional standards include a minimum lot area of
98,010 square feet or 2.25 acres and a minimum lot width of 150 feet. The subject property
contains 5.15 acres and exceeds the dimensional standards required.
Physically Possible: The physical aspects of the site impact legally permissible uses. The
subject property is rectangular in configuration containing 5.15 acres or 224,400 square feet with
frontage along Golden Gate Blvd. E. It is 330 foot wide and 680 feet deep. Based on the size
and configuration of the site, it is our opinion the physically possible and legally permissible uses of
the subject property would include a single family residential use.
Economically and Financially Feasible: Any physical possible and legal use of the vacant land
that produces a positive return to the land after considering risk and all costs to create and
maintain the use. The subject is located along the north side of Golden Gate Blvd. E.
approximately 0.2 miles east of Everglades Blvd. N. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida.
Single family residential properties are increasingly being developed in the subject’s immediate
area and throughout Golden Gate Estates. The most probable buyer would purchase the subject
property for single family residential development which in our opinion is a financially feasible use.
Maximally Productive: With the increase in single family residential activity in the subject’s
market area, it appears this is a financially feasible use. The future land use and zoning
classifications allow single family residential uses. Considering the nearby land uses and the
typical buyers, it is our opinion that the highest and best use as vacant is for single family
residential development.

Section 5 – Valuation of the Subject
VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE COST APPROACH
Cost Approach is defined as: “A set of procedures through which a value indication is derived for
the fee simple estate by estimating the current cost to construct a reproduction of (or replacement
for) the existing structure, including an entrepreneurial incentive or profit; deducting depreciation
from the total cost; and adding the estimated land value. Adjustments may then be made to the
indicated value of the fee simple estate in the subject property to reflect the value of the property
interest being appraised.” Since there are no improvements to consider, the cost approach will not
be used in this appraisal.
VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE INCOME APPROACH
The Income Approach is defined as “Specific appraisal techniques applied to develop a value
indication for a property based on its earning capability and calculated by the capitalization of
property income.” This conversion can be accomplished in two ways. One year's income
expectancy can be capitalized at a market-derived capitalization rate or at a capitalization rate that
reflects a specified income pattern, return on investment, and change in the value of the
investment. Alternatively, the annual cash flows for the holding period and the reversion can be
discounted at a specified yield rate.”
The Income Approach is widely applied in appraising income-producing properties. Anticipated
future income and/or reversions are discounted to a present worth figure through the capitalization
process. Since vacant land is typically not purchased for its ability to generate a positive cash
stream, the income approach will not be used in this appraisal.
VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Sales Comparison Approach is defined as: “The process of deriving a value indication for the
subject property by comparing sale of similar properties to the property being appraised, identifying
appropriate units of comparison, and making adjustments to the sale prices (or unit prices, as
appropriate) of the comparable properties based on relevant, market-derived elements of
comparison. The sales comparison approach may be used to value improved properties, vacant

C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .
38
land, or land being considered as though vacant when an adequate supply of comparable sales is
available.”
The Sales Comparison Approach will be used and it involves the direct comparison of sales of
similar properties, adjustments for variances, and correlation of the results into a property value
indication. Adjustments to the sale prices of competitive properties selected for comparison are
considered as they relate to the subject property and to the various dissimilar investment features.
The application of this approach produces an estimate of value for a property by comparing it with
similar properties which have been sold or are currently offered for sale in the same or competing
areas.
Site Valuation: The valuation of the subject site involves research, analysis, and comparison of
sales of similar properties to the subject. There are several units of comparison applicable for
appraisal purposes. Due to the nature of the subject property and comparable sales, it is our
opinion the sales price per acre would be the most appropriate for utilization. This unit is
calculated by dividing the sale price of the comparable sales by the number of acres contained
within the sale.
The subject site is being valued based on highest and best use; and as such, data selection
begins by limiting the sales considered to include only those sites with a highest and best use
similar to that of the subject. From these sales, only the most similar to the subject in terms of
physical and locational characteristics were selected. The appraiser’s research uncovered
multiple sales of sites that were considered appropriate for comparison purposes. These
transactions were included in the analysis process. The appraiser also considered listings.
In the analysis process, the analyst will utilize a qualitative procedure. In the initial step the
appraiser will utilize a cumulative adjustment for each of the sale properties considering property
rights, financing, conditions of sale, expenditures immediately after sale, and market conditions
(commonly known as time). As the adjustments are cumulative in nature they must be performed
in the order in which they occur.
Next the analyst will utilize a qualitative procedure by considering physical characteristics including
location, site size, future land use, zoning, topography, and access. These properties will be rated
C O L L I E R C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N R I G H T -O F W A Y G R O U P
C A R L S O N , N O R R I S A N D A S S O C I A T E S , I N C .
39
and compared to the subject. They will be considered as similar, inferior, or superior. After
completion of the analysis of each individual sale based on its physical characteristics, an overall
property rating will be assigned to each of the sale properties. This property rating will be similar,
inferior, or superior. After completion of the analysis and adjustment process, the appraiser will
estimate an appropriate value per acre and multiply this by the number of acres contained within
the property in order to estimate the market value for the site. This value estimate will then be
rounded to an appropriate figure for appraisal purposes.
We now invite your attention to a land sales location map which follows. This map shows the
relative location of each of the sales to that of the subject property. Following this will be a land
sales exhibit which will contain land sales data sheets for each transaction utilized in the analysis
process showing the relative size, configuration and location of the site as well as the relative
information for each individual sales transaction. Following the land sales exhibit will be a sales
grid showing the relevant information for the subject and each of the comparable sales as well as
the adjustments and factors which were considered in providing an overall rating for each of the
comparable properties.

well as being compared to the subject property in order to assist in the adjustment process.
Property Rights: “An element of comparison in the sales comparison approach; comparable
properties can be adjusted for differences in the real property rights involved in a transaction.” In
this analysis all property rights conveyed were fee simple, no adjustments were necessary.
Financing: “An element of comparison in the sales comparison approach; comparable properties
can be adjusted for differences in the financing terms of a transaction, also called cash
equivalency adjustment.” In this analysis the transactions were either market financed or cash to
the seller, no adjustments were necessary.
Conditions of Sale: “An element of comparison in the sales comparison approach; comparable
properties can be adjusted for differences in the motivations of either the buyer or a seller in a
transaction.” In this analysis, the sales were all at “arm’s length” including no conditions of sale.
Expenditures made immediately after purchase: “An element of comparison in the sales
comparison approach; comparable properties can be adjusted for any additional investment (e.g.,
curing deferred maintenance) that the buyer needed to make immediately after purchase for the
properties to have similar utility to the subject property being valued.” The appraisers are not
aware of any expenditures made immediately after the sale of these transactions.
Market Conditions: “An element of comparison in the sales comparison approach; comparable
properties can be adjusted for differences in the points in the real estate cycle at which the
transactions occur. Sometimes called a time adjustment because the differences in dates of sale
are often compared, although the usage can be misleading because property values do not
change merely as the result of the passage of time.”
The comparables occurred recently from August 2015 to October 2015 and the date of value is
November 18, 2015. Per market information and discussions with realtors, property values have
been increasing in the subject’s market area. To estimate the amount of the increase the
appraisers utilized information from the multiple listing service. A search was completed of vacant
acreage and residential lot sales from 2011 through 2015 year to date within an approximate three
mile radius of the subject property. The search criteria considered 373 properties.

The properties had an average sales price for 2011 of $18,064 increasing to $27,007 through
2015. The average increase over these four years is 12.38% per year or 1.03% per month. The
properties had an average sales price for 2013 of $18,199 increasing to $27,007 through 2015.
The average increase over these two years is 24.20% per year or 2.02% per month. The
properties had an average sales price for 2014 of $18,928 increasing to $27,007 through 2015.
The average increase over this period is 42.68% per year or 3.56% per month. Over the three
different time frames used the price increases ranged from 1.03% per month to 3.56% per month.
Based on this information, the appraisers have estimated an increase of 2.0% per month and have
adjusted the sales accordingly.
Physical Characteristics: Next the sales were considered and compared with one another and
the subject for physical characteristics. These include location, size, future land use, zoning,
topography and access. This process involves a qualitative analysis. Qualitative analysis involves
distinctions based on qualities which do not in themselves provide quantifiable results.
Location Adjustment: The subject property is located along Golden Gate Boulevard E.
approximately 0.2 miles east of Everglades Blvd. N. in the eastern portion of Golden Gate Estates,
Naples, Florida. The sales have similar locations to the subject based on their proximity to areas
with commercial services.
Size: The subject property contains 5.15 acres and the comparables range in size from 1.14
acres to 5.00 acres. The sales are all small acreage parcels and are considered similar to the
subject property.
Future Land Use: The subject property has a Residential Estates Subdistrict future land use
designation. The sales were considered similar with the same designation.
Zoning Classification: The subject property has an Estate District (E) zoning designation. The
sales were considered similar with the same designation.
Topography: The subject property is wooded and the value conclusions are based on the
extraordinary assumption that any wetlands on the subject property would be minimal and would
not affect its development potential. Each of the sales are similar since they are also wooded with
uplands or only a minimal amount of wetlands.

Access: The subject property is located along a two lane paved road. Each of the sales were
considered similar with two lane paved road frontage.
Land Sales Discussion: Following will be a brief discussion of each of the sales transactions
utilized in this analysis to estimate the value for the subject property.
Sale One was purchased on October 1, 2015 and is located along the south side of 14th Avenue
NE west of Everglades Blvd. N. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The property consists of
1.14 acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $23,403 or $20,526 per acre.
Sale Two was purchased on October 1, 2015 and is located along the west side of 18th Street NE
north of Golden Gate Blvd. E. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The property consists of
1.14 acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $17,680 or $15,509 per acre.
Sale Three was purchased on August 17, 2015 and is located along the north side of 6th Avenue
SE east of Everglades Blvd. S. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The property consists of
1.14 acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $18,020 or $15,807 per acre.
Sale Four was purchased on September 21, 2015 and is located along the west side of
Everglades Blvd. N. just south of 8th Avenue NE in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The
property consists of 2.58 acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $33,176 or $12,859 per
acre.
Sale Five was purchased on October 23, 2015 and is located along the north side of 10th Avenue
NE east of Everglades Blvd. N. in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The property consists of
2.73 acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $35,700 or $13,077 per acre.
Sale Six was purchased on August 28, 2015 and is located along the south side of 14th Avenue
NE east of 8th Street NE in Golden Gate Estates, Naples, Florida. The property consists of 5.00
acres and was acquired for an adjusted price of $61,480 or $12,296 per acre.
Competitive Listings: A search was completed for active listings within an approximate two mile
radius of the subject property. Fourteen listings were considered ranging from 1.14 acres to 5.00

acres. On a per acre basis the listing prices range from $11,999 to $21,842 per acre with a mean
of $17,577 per acre.
Final Analysis: When evaluating the comparable land sales, considerations including location,
size, future lane use, zoning, topography and access were utilized. The sales have adjusted sales
prices range from $12,296 per acre to $20,526 per acre with a mean of $15,012 per acre.
Consideration was also given to the listings prices that had a mean of $17,577 per acre. It is our
opinion that the appropriate unit of value for the subject property should be $16,000 per acre.
Multiplying $16,000 per acre times the subject’s 5.15 acres equals an estimated value of $82,400
or $82,000 rounded.
It is our opinion the market value of the fee simple interest of the Parent Tract “As Is” under the
hypothetical condition, extraordinary assumptions, and market conditions effective November 18,
2015 utilizing the Sales Comparison Approach is $82,000.
Project Description: Collier County is completing roadway improvements to widen Golden Gate
Boulevard (C.R. 876) to four lanes from Wilson Boulevard to Desoto Boulevard. The gross length
of the project is 6.098 miles. A portion of Everglades Boulevard will also receive improvements
where it intersects with Golden Gate Boulevard. The intersection improvements along Everglades
Boulevard include the acquisition area of the subject property. The information is based on 60%
Contract Plans and is part of Project No. 60145. The improvements will include without limitation
new roadway including turn lanes, shoulders, drainage structures, curbs and gutters, utilities,
sidewalks, brick pavers, sodded areas and portions with a grass median.
Acquisition Easement (Parcel 403 RDUE)
Description Parcel 403 RDUE: Collier County has a proposed road right-of-way, drainage and
utility easement acquisition area known as (Parcel 403 RDUE). It is rectangular, contains 6,550
square feet or 0.150 acres and is located in the southerly portion of the parent tract. It varies from
15 or 25 feet wide along its east and west boundary and is 330.00 feet along its north and south
boundary. The acquisition area did not appear to contain any improvements. Its southern
boundary is located along the north side of the existing roadway easement.
Collier County has used the following wording in describing other similar road right-of-way,
drainage and utility easements they have acquired. The easement conveys, grants, bargains and
sells unto the Grantee (Collier County), a perpetual, non-exclusive road right-of-way, drainage, and

utility easement to enter upon and to install and maintain roadway, bikepath and sidewalk
improvements, drainage structures, including but not limited to ditches, swales, earthen berms, rip-
rap and retaining wall systems, underground pipes, various types of water control structures and
any and all manner of public and private utility facilities over, under, upon and across the subject
property. The grantee has the right to enter upon said land and to place and/or excavate materials
for the purpose of constructing, operating, and maintaining roadway, sidewalk, drainage and utility
facilities thereon. “Utility facilities” includes public as well as private utilities, such as electric,
telephone and cable television, but only if such facilities have Collier County’s consent and proper
authorization. This easement includes the right to remove and use any and all excavated material.
The easement granted herein shall constitute and easement running with the land and shall
burden the lands described above.
Legal Description Parcel 403 RDUE: The legal description for proposed Parcel 403 RDUE is
lengthy and is provided from a sketch and description prepared by RWA Consulting, Inc. as shown
on the following page.

Valuation Parcel 403 RDUE: Easements should be evaluated based on how they impact the
utility/efficiency of the underlying fee simple ownership. They are not typically bought and sold on
the open market. The subject’s proposed perpetual road right-of-way, drainage and utility
easement acquisition significantly reduces the bundle of rights (previously defined in this report)
remaining to the property owner. The easement has permanent above and below ground
improvements with access rights to maintain these improvements. It is our estimate that the
easement consumes 99% of the fee simple value.
The proposed road right-of-way, drainage and utility easement acquisition area known as (Parcel
403 RDUE) is valued as follows. Previously the value for the parent tract was estimated at $16,000
per acre. The easement was estimated to consume 99% of this value or $15,800 per acre
rounded ($16,000 x 99%). Applying $15,800 times the easement area of 6,550 square feet or
0.150 acres results in the following estimate.
Valuation Summary Parcel 403 RDUE:
Parcel 403 RDUE: 0.150 acres x $15,800 Per Acre = $2,370
$2,400 Rd.
Remainder Property
Description of Remainder: The remainder property size is unchanged at 5.15 acres for an
estimated 224,400 square feet. It now includes the proposed easement acquisition area in its
southern portion of 6,550 square feet or 0.150 acres as previously described. The remainder
property is a vacant wooded site with the same road frontage, width of 330 feet, and depth of 680
feet. It continues to have access to Golden Gate Blvd. E. It is estimated that the highest and best
use is unchanged and continues to be for single family residential development. In our opinion the
remainder property is not damaged as a result of the proposed acquisition and no cost of cure is
necessary.

61
Valuation of Remainder: The value of the remainder property before and after the proposed
acquisition is estimated to be the same since no damages were estimated. There are no
improvements to consider. The value of the remainder property is obtained by subtracting the
value of the acquisition from the parent tract. We invite your attention to the following information
that summarizes these values.
Value of Parent Tract: $82,000
Less Value of Acquisition (Parcel 403 RDUE): (2,400)
Value of Remainder Property Before & After: $79,600
Compensation Due Owner:
We invite your attention to the following summary of the estimated compensation due to the
owner.
Easement (Parcel 403 RDUE): $2,400
Improvements Acquired: 0
Total Compensation Due Owner: $2,400

Section 6 – Reconciliation of Value
The Cost Approach and Income Approach to value were not included and not considered to be
applicable in this appraisal. The cost approach was not used since there are no improvements to
consider. The income approach was not used since vacant land is typically not purchased for its
ability to generate a positive cash stream.
The Sales Comparison Approach was used exclusively in estimating the market value of the
parent tract prior to the right of way acquisition. In using this approach, the site valuation was
initially completed followed by a valuation of the acquisition area. The value of the Remainder
Property was than estimated and was not considered to be damaged as a result of the proposed
acquisition. Finally the appraisers estimated the compensation due to the property owner.
Based upon the results of the investigation and analyses contained in the following report, subject
to the hypothetical condition and extraordinary assumptions noted in the attached appraisal, it is
our opinion the total compensation due to the property owner for the proposed easement
acquisition under market conditions existing November 18, 2015 is:
TWO THOUSAND FOUR DOLLARS ............................................................................ ($2,400.00).

General Assumptions & Limiting Conditions
Information Used: No responsibility is assumed for accuracy of information furnished by others
or from others, including the client, its officers and employees, or public records. We are not liable
for such information or for the work of contractors, subcontractors and engineers. The comparable
data relied upon in this appraisal has been confirmed with one or more parties familiar with the
transaction unless otherwise noted; all are considered appropriate for inclusion to the best of my
factual judgment and knowledge.
Certain information upon which the opinions and values are based may have been gathered by
research staff working with the appraiser. Names, professional qualifications and extent of their
participation can be furnished to the client upon request.
Legal, Engineering, Financial, Structural or Mechanical Nature, Hidden Components, Soil:
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
legal nature or condition of the title to the property, which is presumed to be good and marketable.
The property is appraised assuming it is free and clear of all mortgages, liens or encumbrances,
unless otherwise stated in particular parts of this report.
The legal description is presumed to be correct, but I have not confirmed it by survey or otherwise.
I assume no responsibility for the survey, any encroachments or overlapping or other
discrepancies that might be revealed thereby.
I have inspected, as far as possible by observation, the land thereon; however, it was not possible
to personally observe conditions beneath the soil or hidden; as a result, no representation is made
herein as to such matters unless otherwise specifically stated. The estimated market value
assumes that no such conditions exist that would cause a loss of value. I do not warrant against
the occurrence of problems arising from any of these conditions. It is assumed that there are no
hidden or unapparent conditions to the property, soil, subsoil or structures, which would render
them more or less valuable. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions or for any
expense or engineering to discover them.
Information relating to the location or existence of public utilities has been obtained through inquiry
to the appropriate utility authority, or has been ascertained from visual evidence. No warranty has
been made regarding the exact location or capacities of public utility systems. Subsurface oil, gas
or mineral rights were not considered in this report unless otherwise stated.
Legality of Use: The appraisal is based on the premise that there is or will be full compliance with
all applicable Federal, State and local environmental regulations and laws, unless otherwise stated
in the report; and that all appropriate zoning, building and use regulations and restrictions of all
types have been or will be complied with and required licenses, consent, permits or other authority,
whether local, State, Federal and/or private, have been or can be obtained or renewed for the use
intended and considered in the value estimate.
Component Values: The distribution of the total valuation of this report between land and
improvements applies only under the proposed program of utilization. The separate valuations of
land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal, and are invalid if so
used.

A report related to an estate that is less than the whole fee simple estate applies only to the
fractional interest involved. The value of this fractional interest, plus the value of all other fractional
interests, may or may not equal the value of the entire fee simple estate considered as a whole.
A report relating to the geographic portion of a larger property applies only to such geographic
portion and should not be considered as applying with equal validity to other portions of the larger
property or tract. The value for such geographic portions, plus the value of all other geographic
portions, may or may not equal the value of the entire property or tract considered as a single
entity.
All valuations in the report are applicable only under the estimated program of the highest and best
use and are not necessarily appropriate under other programs of use.
Auxiliary and Related Studies: No environmental or impact studies, special market study or
analysis, highest and best use analysis study or feasibility study has been requested or made by
us unless otherwise specified in this report or in my agreement for services. I reserve the unlimited
right to alter, amend, revise or rescind any of these statements, findings, opinions, values,
estimates or conclusions upon any subsequent study or analysis or previous study or analysis that
subsequently becomes available to us.
Dollar Values, Purchasing Power: The value estimates and the costs used herein are as of the
date of the estimate of value. All dollar amounts are based on the purchasing power and price of
the United States dollar as of the date of value estimate
Inclusions: Furnishings and equipment or business operations, except as otherwise specifically
indicated, have been disregarded, with only the real estate being considered.
Proposed Improvements Conditioned Value: For the purpose of this appraisal, on- or off-site
improvements proposed, if any, as well as any repairs required, are considered to be completed in
a good and workmanlike manner according to information submitted and/or considered by us. In
cases of proposed construction, the report is subject to change upon inspection of the property
after construction is complete. The estimate of value, as proposed, is as of the date shown, as if
completed and operating at levels shown and projected.
Value Change, Dynamic Market Influences: The estimated value is subject to change with
market changes over time. Value is highly related to interest rates, exposure, time, promotional
effort, supply and demand, terms of sale, motivation and conditions surrounding the offering. The
value estimate considers the productivity and relative attractiveness of the property both physically
and economically in the marketplace.
The estimate of value in this report is not based in whole or in part upon race, color or national
origin of the present owners or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the property appraised.
In the event this appraisal includes the capitalization of income, the estimate of value is a reflection
of such benefits and my interpretation of income and yields and other factors which were derived
from general and specific market information. Such estimates are made as of the date of the
estimate of value. As a result, they are subject to change, as the market is dynamic and may
naturally change over time. The date upon which the value estimate applies is only as of the date
of valuation, as stated in the letter of transmittal. The appraisal assumes no responsibility for
economic or physical factors occurring at some later date which may affect the opinion stated
herein.

An appraisal is the product of a professionally trained person, but nevertheless is an opinion only,
and not a provable fact. As a personal opinion, a valuation may vary between appraisers based
upon the same facts. Thus, the appraiser warrants only that the value conclusions are his best
estimate as of the date of valuation. There are no guaranties, either written or implied, that the
property would sell for the expressed estimate of value.
Title Review: Unless otherwise stated, the appraiser has not reviewed an abstract of title relating
to the subject property. No title search has been made, and the reader should consult an attorney
or title company for information and data relative to the property ownership and legal description.
It is assumed that the subject title is marketable, but the title should be reviewed by legal counsel.
Any information given by the appraiser as to a sales history is information that the appraiser has
researched; to the best of my knowledge, this information is accurate, but not warranted.
Management of the Property: It is assumed that the property which is the subject of this report
will be under prudent and competent ownership and management over the entire life of the
property. If prudent and competent management and ownership are not provided, this would have
an adverse effect upon the value of the property appraised.
Confidentiality: We are not entitled to divulge the material (evaluation or valuation) content of this
report and analytical findings or conclusions, or give a copy of this report to anyone other than the
client or his designee, as specified in writing, except as may be required by the Appraisal Institute,
as they may request in confidence for ethic enforcement, or by a court of law with the power of
subpoena.
All conclusions and opinions concerning the analyses as set forth herein are prepared by the
appraisers whose signatures appear. No change of any item in the report shall be made by
anyone other than the appraiser, and the firm shall have no responsibility if any such unauthorized
change is made.
Whenever our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of fact is qualified by the
phrase or phrases "to the best of our knowledge", "it appears" or "indicated", it is intended to
indicate that, during the course of our review and investigation of the property, no information has
come to our attention which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such
facts.
The client shall notify the appraiser of any error, omission or invalid data herein within 10 days of
receipt and return of the report, along with all copies, to the appraiser for corrections prior to any
use whatsoever. Neither our name nor this report may be used in connection with any financing
plans which would be classified as a public offering under State or Federal Security Laws.
Copies, Publication, Distribution, Use of Report: 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 physical report remains the property of the firm for the use of the client, with the fee
being for the analytical services only. This report may not be used for any purpose by any person
or corporation other than the client or the party to whom the report is addressed. Additional copies
may not be made without the written consent of an officer of the firm, and then only in its entirety.
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report shall be conveyed to the public through
advertising, public relations effort, news, sales or other media without my prior written consent and
approval of the client.
It has been assumed that the client or representative thereof, if soliciting funds for his project, has
furnished to the user of this report complete plans, specifications, surveys and photographs of land

and improvements, along with all other information which might be deemed necessary to correctly
analyze and appraise the subject property.
Authentic Copies: Any copy that does not have original signatures of the appraiser is
unauthorized and may have been altered and, therefore, is considered invalid.
Testimony, Consultation, Completion of Contract for Appraisal Services: A contract for
appraisal, consultation or analytical services is fulfilled and the total fee payable upon completion
of the report. The appraisers or those assisting in the preparation of the report will not be asked or
required to give testimony in court or hearing because of having made the appraisal in full or in
part, nor will they be asked or required to engage in post appraisal consultation with client or third
parties except under separate and special arrangement and at an additional fee.
Any subsequent copies of this appraisal report will be furnished on a cost plus expenses basis, to
be negotiated at the time of request.
Limit of Liability: Liability of the firm and the associates is limited to the fee collected for
preparation of the appraisal. There is no accountability or liability to any third party.
Fee: The fee for this appraisal or study is for the service rendered, and not for time spent on the
physical report. The acceptance of the report by the client takes with it the agreement and
acknowledgement that the client will pay the negotiated fee, whether said agreement was verbal
or written. The fee is in no way contingent on the value estimated.
Special Limiting Conditions: The Americans with Disabilities Act became effective January 26,
1992. Not withstanding any discussion of possible readily achievable barrier removable
construction items in this report, Carlson, Norris and Associates, has not made a specific
compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in conformance with the
various detailed requirements of the A.D.A. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property
together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the A.D.A. could reveal that the property is
not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the A.D.A. If so, this fact could have a
negative effect on the value estimated herein. Since Carlson, Norris and Associates has no
specific information relating to this issue, nor is Carlson, Norris and Associates qualified to make
such an assessment, the effect of any possible non compliance with the requirements of the
A.D.A. was not considered in estimating the value of the subject property.
This analysis is made in conformity with the requirements with the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice and the Standards of Professional Conduct of the Appraisal
Institute.
Hypothetical Condition is defined as: “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. Hypothetical conditions are contrary to known facts
about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions
external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in
an analysis.” A hypothetical condition may be used in an assignment only if:
• Use of the hypothetical condition is clearly required for legal purposes, for purposes of
reasonable analysis, or for purposes of comparison;
• Use of the hypothetical condition results in a credible analysis; and
• The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in USPAP for
hypothetical conditions.

Please note the following hypothetical condition:
• For the sake of this report we assumed the proposed acquisition and roadway
improvements have been completed as of the date of value, November 18, 2015.
Extraordinary Assumption is defined as: “An assumption, directly related to a specific
assignment, as of the effective date of the assignment results, which, if found to be false, could
alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact
otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject
property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or
about the integrity of data used in an analysis.” An extraordinary assumption may be used in an
assignment only if:
• It is required to properly develop credible opinions and conclusions;
• The appraiser has a reasonable basis for the extraordinary assumption;
• Use of the extraordinary assumption results in a credible analysis; and
• The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in USPAP for
extraordinary assumptions.
Please note the following extraordinary assumptions:
• A soil analysis for the site has not been provided for the preparation of this appraisal. In the
absence of a soil report, it is a specific assumption that the site has adequate soils to
support the highest and best use. The analyst is not an expert in area of soils, and would
recommend that an expert be consulted.
• It is assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions to the property, soil, or
subsoil, which would render them more or less valuable. Subsurface oil, gas or mineral
rights were not considered in this report unless otherwise stated. The analyst is not an
expert with respect to subsurface conditions, and would recommend that an expert be
consulted.
• It is assumed that there are no hazardous materials either at ground level or subsurface.
None were noted during the property inspection. The analyst is not an expert in the
evaluation of site contamination, and would recommend that an expert be consulted.
• The appraisers were not provided a wetland study or report for the subject property. The
value conclusions are based on the extraordinary assumption that any wetlands on the
subject property would be minimal and would not affect its development potential.
