Agenda 05/12/2020 Item #11C (Proposed HHH Ranch acquisition)05/12/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept the findings of the two independent appraisals and provide direction on
the potential acquisition of the 967 +/- acres located three miles east of Collier Boulevard and
directly north of Alligator Alley known as the HHH Ranch owned by Francis and Mary Hussey, et
al.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the findings of the independent appraisals, consider the acquisition value of
the HHH Ranch, and respond to the term letter submitted.
CONSIDERATIONS: The land use associated with HHH Ranch property has been a point of contention
since the adoption of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District (RFMUD) in 2002. In 2008, the owners of
HHH Ranch filed suit against Collier County seeking compensation under the Bert J. Harris Private
Property Rights Act, § 70.001, Fla. Stat. (2007) (the Harris Act), and on a theory of inverse
condemnation.
In 2013, Collier County settled the case and by agreement amended the land use to allow for both sending
and receiving lands. The agreement is included for reference outlining the terms. Since that time, the
property has been actively marketed with various levels of interest but has not finalized a sale. The
property is access challenged and would be expected to go through lengthy and cumbersome permitting
process to take advantage of the entitlements. Additionally, the density allowed by the receiving area
through the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) process is cost prohibitive to develop without
adequate infrastructure (roads, water, and sewer) readily available.
The County has had numerous conversations with representatives of the HHH Ranch over the years. In
May of 2017, the County received an offer to sell the property for $75,000,000. The justification by the
seller for the high valuation was based on the value of the aggregate. The County solicited two
independent appraisals and the average justified valuation was $8,200,000. On December 10, 2017,
Agenda Item 11C (attached), the Board rejected the offer.
On March 10, 2020, Agenda Item 11D, a Term Letter was presented for the property outlining the terms
and conditions for the proposed sale with an asking price of $11,000,000 (attached).
The Board authorized the following:
• Chairman to sign the Letter of Interest
• Obtain appraisal updates for the property
• County Manager to negotiate terms and conditions
• Bring back a future agenda item with terms and conditions for Board consideration
The property, as depicted on the attached Location Map, is comprised of 967 +/- acres with 583 +/- acres
designated as RFMUD Receiving Lands and 384 +/- acres designed as RFMUD Sending Lands.
Appraisal updates were obtained establishing the valuation for the properties. The first appraisal update is
dated April 13, 2020 by Carlson Norris & Associates and valued the property at $8,200,000. The second
appraisal update is dated April 2, 2020 by Maxwell Hendry Simmons, Real Estate Appraisers &
Consultants and valued the property at $8,900,000. Collier County's in-house Sr. Real Estate Appraiser
prepared an appraisal report review and determined the average value of both appraisals is $8,550,000
and would recommend acquisition for that price.
On May 1, 2020, the County Manager’s office and staff discussed the valuation with the seller’s
representative. The representative would not agree to sell the property for the updated appraisal value.
They have responded with an updated offer (attached) at a valuation of $10,000,000 including a
11.C
Packet Pg. 38
05/12/2020
justification, in their opinion, for the increased value.
As the Board considers the facts above and the prior history included in the backup, there are intangibles
that were appropriately not factored into the appraisals as they represent potential offsite benefits to the
County. The County’s Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) contemplates the extension of Wilson
Boulevard as identified and approved by the Board through the Wilson-Benfield Corridor study (map
attached).
If this property is acquired, staff would work with the adjacent property owners to evaluate the relocation
of the roadway to minimize the environmental impacts, reduce right of way acquisition, and lower the
construction cost. Additionally, the relocated roadway would reduce the mitigation cost and potentially
increase the opportunity for incorporating a water quality component to the project. These options would
be pursued through an updated study and amendment to the LRTP.
Finally, the funding for this acquisition could potentially come from predominantly non-Ad Valorem
sources. The voter approved Sales Surtax included a $20,000,000 Community Land Trust allocation for
affordable housing which could be applied, at some level, against the property sale at the appropriate
time. Roadway impact fees would be used for the direct purchase of the right of way and potentially for a
portion of the valuation attributed to the water management and reduction in offsite mitigation. There is
also nominal value for the water treatment system and real value from the aggregate recovered from the
future lake excavation.
These factors give the Board justification to evaluate the appraisals and the counteroffer from several
perspectives. Currently, the Board has several options.
Direct the County Manager or his designee to:
1. Notify the seller that the Board is only willing to pay the average of the two appraisals
($8,550,000) and pursue an executed purchase and sale agreement.
2. Accept the counteroffer ($10,000,000) and authorize the Chairman to execute a purchase and sale
agreement. Note: This option requires a super majority of the Board
3. Continue the dialogue with the seller and try and negotiate a further reduction and bring back a
proposed purchase and sale agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The variety of potential end land uses for this site and the multiple sources of funds
which could pay down debt service lend itself to a competitive taxable bank loan like the financing
structure in place to borrow $28 million for acquisition of the Golden Gate Golf course. The current
financial market does not lend itself to the issuance of debt both in terms of potential market interest and
the cost of borrowing. This is primarily due to financial market uncertainty associated with the COVID 19
pandemic.
While the use of a portion of dollars set aside for workforce housing within the bucket of local option
infrastructure sales tax dollars is mentioned as a source of repayment, timing indicates that the property
would be purchased well before any decisions on end land use are known. This premise also applies to
potential use of impact fees and any other repayment sources. Therefore, the taxable bank loan with a
pledge of the County’s legally available non ad-valorem taxes is recommended as the financing source.
Without knowing the full extent of general governmental revenue reductions, the Board is well advised to
postpone any debt issuance until market conditions become more conducive to financing and the extent of
general sales tax, state revenue sharing, and local option infrastructure sales tax reductions are known.
Right now, it is estimated that at least $8.5 million in half cent sales tax collections and $3.0 million in
state shared revenues will be lost due to shut down of the local economy. Clarity on the debt market
11.C
Packet Pg. 39
05/12/2020
should be known within 120 days. The Office of Management and Budget will have a preliminary look at
general governmental revenue loss as part of the June Budget Workshop and a clearer view in August
ahead of September public budget hearings.
If the Board finds that the public interest is best served by pursuing this property acquisition now, an
internal advance from general governmental sources is available with repayment of the advance from
borrowed funds within six (6) months. Budget amendments would be required and detailed for approval
by the Board at the time a purchase contract is considered.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires
majority vote for approval. -JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board reviews the information provided and provides direction to the
County Manager or his designee. Further, should the Board wish to move forward with a designated
purchase amount, authorize the Chairman and County Manager or his designee to:
1. Authorize the Chairman to execute and Agreement for Sale and Purchase once approved by the
County Attorney.
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement and any additional closing documents, and
accept the Warranty Deed, once approved by the County Attorney’s Office.
3. Authorize staff to prepare related vouchers and backup for warrants for payment.
4. Authorize necessary budget amendments.
5. Direct the County Manager or his designee to proceed to acquire the Property and to follow all
appropriate closing procedures, to acquire and obtain clear title to the Property, and to record any
and all necessary documents (once approved by the County Attorney’s Office) in the Public
Records of Collier County, Florida.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reiect offer from Winchester Lakes Corporation and Francis and Mary
Hussey to enter into a public-private partnership with the County for the property located in
Sections 29 and 32, Township 49S, Range 27E. (Toni Mott, Mrnag€r - Property Acquisition &
Construcdon Menagement, Faclllties Management Dlvlslon)
OBJECTIVE: To provide relevant information regarding offer received liom Winchester Lakes
Corporation and Francis and Mary Hussey (Scllcr) for thc salc of 962 +/- acres (known as HHH Ranch)
located thrte miles east of Collier Boulevard and directly north of Alligator Alley and to recommend that
the offer be rejected at the current sales prise of975,000,000, inclusive ofa public-private partn€rship.
CONSIDERATION: On May 8, 2017, an €mail and prosp€ctus was received from Joseph Bonness,
President of Winchester Lakes Corporation on behalf of that corporation and Dr. and Mn. Hussey. A
copy of the email and the prospectus is attached. The potential ofler for sale was not contingent upon a
public-private partnership between Collier County and Winchester Lakes for mining activities. At that
time, no purchase price was provided. At the May 23,2017 Board meeting, staff was provided direction
under Agenda ltem l lD to obtain two appraisals and also evaluate the pubtic-private partnership proposal.
The details ofthe partnership are as follows:
. Collier County could either wholly or partially pay for lhe purchase ofthe HHH Ranch.o Winchester Lakes, Inc. would enter into an excavalion/Partnership agreement with the County to:o Require the County to have all permits in place necessary for mining.
o Excavate a minimum of 125 acres of property producing l0 million tons of fill and lime
rock materials.
o Provide a royalty or lease for all materials sold to Collier County as payment for the
excavation.
o Establish their exclusive rights to €xcavation and sublease plant sites for Asphalt,
Concrete and Recycling plants.
o Sale of the matenals from the excavation and manufacturing plants would produce lease
payments to pay for the land purchase.
o Sever Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) and be retained by the Seller (approximate
savings to purchase price $3,926,000)
o Potential future expansion of mining area.
A self-managed team was convened to complete a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
(SWOT) analysis on the proposal to explore the pros and cons ofsuch an acquisition.
At the June 12, 2017, Conservation Collier Land Acquisihon Advisory Committee, the committee
received a property nomination involving thc propcrty with an approximate asking price of$75,000,000.
The Committee unanimously agreed to move the application forward in the process.
Based on Board direction, two appraisals were comrnissioned from Maxweli-Hendry-Simmons Real
Estate Appraisers & Consultants and Carlson, Norris and Associates, Inc. Both prepared a valuation and
determined a fair market valuation of $8,200,000 for the land value. Copies of the valuation report arc
attached for Board review. In addition to the land value, Collier County's In-House Rea[ Eslate Appraiser
prepared valued the mining component at S25,480,000 at a drilling depth of 35 feet, which includes the
value of the land. A second mining valuation in the amount of $39,600,000 was derived from the income
approach. Copies of the valuations are attached for reference. The valuations didn't provide an
adjustment for or take into consideration the cost of mitigation required for the development of the
property or remediation that may be necessary due to the clearing that has occurred for the agricultural
uses. Additionally, the comparable properties used in the appraisal consisted of lands that have varying
11.C.2
Packet Pg. 63 Attachment: Hussey December 2017 Item 11C (12342 : HHH Ranch - Hussey)
tolt0t2017
degrees of environmental and development permits and approvals in place. By comparison, the subject
property has no permits in place.
Acquisition of the property could provide a number of future public benefits such as a source for road
material and fill for future projects for Collier County as well as the Florida Department of Transportation
or other unidentified County uses. In addition to the potential use of the fill material, etc. from the
northern portion of the property, there may be a potential to utilize the Sending Lands portion for on-site
mitigation as an offset to the overall mitigattion costs, or possibly the permitting ofthe property as a listed
species mitigation bank that could also benefit County projects. Investigation of these potentials would
require additional funding and time to determine. However, the requested sales price does not appear to
take into account the potential for costs associated with environmental mitigation and/or remediaiion and
obtaining the necessary development permits - which includes at a minimum conditional use approval
through a public hearing process. With no entitlemcnts or permits in place, any buyer must consider the
cost, and uncertainty, of obtaining these permits. Furthermore, obtaining permits will take a considerabte
amount of time and the property lacks infrastructure necessary for development (roads, water, sewer,
electric, etc.).
Based on current funding and the high cost ofentitlements for any future development ofthe property, and
uncertainty in obtaining entitlements for commercial excavation, staff believes the purchase price of
$75,000,000, or combination of public-private partnership to come to the amount requested by thi seller,
is too high. Based on the delta between the proposal and the appraisals, staff is recommending the offer
be rejected. Future needs by transportation or other county departments may warrant further analysis
should the sales price be adjusted downward accordingly.
Note: Staff did not have the authority to enter into negotiations or make a counter offer. Staff is
r€commending rejecting this offer as submitted but does recognize that under the right conditions and
terms, acquiring this property may add value and support the County's goals and objectives.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal i[U,act associated with this item.
GRowrIr MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No growth management impact associated with this item,
LEGAL cONSTDERATTONS: This item has been reviewed by the county Attorney, raises no legal
issues, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMEI\{DATION: That the Board rejects the offer and authorizes the County Manager or his
designee to noti$ the Seller that acquisition in total at the requested price or public-private partnership is
not supported by available data at this time.

Attlchmant : HHH Ranch park.ppu
Dear Toni
The HHH Ranch is proposed to be purchased by Collier County for quarry and future park use.
The land ls located three miles east of Collier Blvd and directly nonh of Alligator Alley.
HHH Ranch is composed of 952+/- acres with 578 acres designated as RFMUD Receiving Lands and 384 acres RFMUD
Sending lands.
The land desiSnation is the results of a settlement agreement between Collier County defendant and Francls & Mary pat
Hussey and Winchester Lakes lnc. as Plaintiffs.
It is envisioned that Collier County could purchase the ranch and the purchase repaid by excavation of ponions of the
recelvin8 land by Winchester Lakes lnc. The ranch has a vast reserve of high quality lime stone that will produce FDOT
quality aSSreSates and base rock materials. Mined to the maximum extent (8O% coverage) could produce over 37 million
cubic yards (50 million tons) of material. As owneR of the Ranch Collier County would make the decislon of what wlll be
the best ratio of excavated lake to residual park lands.
Of benefit to the County is securang materials that will be needed for infrastructure construction in the future and
residual lands will provide a lake based park, The Ranch is closely located to maior traffic corridors (951 & F75) and will
be on future a long ranBe plan corrldor (wilson Ext).
The lake or lakes will provide recreation, flood water storage as well as reservoir for water recharge and usage. The lake
will also be a wild life attractor.
Ouring the recent North Belle Mead wild fire, the Ranch and cleared pastures provided a dearly needed llre break that
helped deaden the hst moving wild fires from the east. A lar6e body ofwater will provide this buffer in the future with
this proposal.
The Ranch has habitat for endangered species such as Rcws, Panthers and Gopher Tonoise that collier would preserve
and enhance.
The park land outside of mine lake will contain 500-700 or more acres. lake size is dependent on design.
The land is repaid by a combination of Mine Royalties, Plant Site Leases and TDRS
20 - 50 million tons Royalties
10- 25 milllon ton/cy product from plant sites
307 TDRS
Alternate uses and value of the land is for mininS and housing development

Sales History: The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice requires a
statement of the listings, sales contracts, and sales history of the subject property for
the five years prior to the appraisal date. One of the parcels, Parcel Number
00329240004, has recorded that it was acquired by HHH lnvestments, Ltd. in August of
2019, by a Warranty Deed recorded as OR 5664-3993. The sale price was $67,500 for
the S-acre property.
The analyst is aware of no other sales on the subject parcels for the five-year period
prior to this appraisal date. The property owner has contracted with the real estate firm
of Land Solutions, lnc. to assist them in potential marketing of the property. An asking
price was set at $11,500,000.
An offering memorandum document has been developed which has included the input
from Land Solutions, the executive team of Randy Thibaut, Billy Rollings and Ron lnge
of lnge and Associates, along with the engineer RWA Consulting, (Patrick Vanasse) as
well as the environmentalists Synecological Analysts (Brown Collins). The listing agent,
Billy Rollings, stated that the property went under contract last year with a local
developer and that the price was around the previously appraised value, which was at
$8,200,000.
The developers decided to back out after doing some due diligence and finding that the
property would be a long-term project, over 20 years, for permitting, mining, issues with
road access, and other matters to be handled. The property is still listed for sale and
has had no other contracts or no contract pending to our knowledge.

RE: 967 Acres- HHH Ranch
Unincorporated Collier County, Florida 34117
Our File Number: 20-77
Purchase Order Number 4500202375
Dear Mr. Leonard:
At your request and authorization, Carlson, Norris and Associates has prepared an appraisal
presented in an Appraisal Report of the market value for the above referenced real property. Per
the request of the client, we have provided the market value estimate of the subject property on an
“as is” basis.
The subject property is located in southern Collier County adjacent to the north side of Interstate 75
east of the tollbooth and Collier Boulevard. The subject property contains 967 acres. The property is
primarily unimproved. The majority of the habitat is a combination of cabbage palms, slash pine and
cypress. There are significant cleared areas where the property has been timbered in the past. The
zoning classification of the subject property is A-RFMUO Sending Lands-NBMO and A-RFMUO
Receiving Lands-NMBO. The future land use designation for the subject property is RFMUD
Sending Lands within the North Belle Meade Overlay and RFMUD-Receiving Lands within the North
Belle Meade Overlay.
There is a settlement agreement between Collier County and the property owner which plays an
important role in the preparation of this appraisal. The settlement agreement specifically dictates the
number of receiving acres and sending acres the subject property has moving forward. As per the
settlement agreement the subject property has access along Blackburn Road, a dirt path which
extends easterly from the end of White Lake Boulevard extension to the southwest corner of the
subject property. This settlement agreement identifies this access as a road that is capable of
providing access to the subject property for excavation and residential purposes. The property only
has electricity and telephone available at this time.
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.
April 13, 2020
Page 2
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 Ethics
and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.
Carlson, Norris and Associates does not authorize the out-of-context quoting from or partial reprinting
of this appraisal report. Further, neither all nor any part of this appraisal report shall be disseminated
to the general public by the use of media for public communication without the prior written consent
of the appraiser signing this report.
Based upon the data contained in this report it is our opinion the subject property warrants a market
value for its fee simple ownership and in its “as is” condition as of March 20, 2020 of:
EIGHT MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ..................................... ($8,200,000.00).
PLEASE NOTE: The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, declared by the World Health Organization as a
global health emergency on 1-30-2020, is causing heightening uncertainty in local, national and global markets.
This outbreak was identified as a pandemic on 3-11-2020 and further classified as a National Emergency on 3-
13-2020. Worldwide cases of COVID-19 have been identified and the scope of this crisis has expanded. Travel
and “shelter in place” restrictions have been implemented to “blunt the curve” of infections and stem the scale
and longevity of this outbreak. A prolonged medical and economic crisis may have a significant, yet
unquantifiable impact on real estate markets.
The information provided within this appraisal is based on market data available at this juncture (date of value
and date of the report). However, due to the significant uncertainty in property and capital markets, as well as
the rapid unfolding of this event, it is indeterminable for the appraiser to quantify and assess the impact that this
outbreak has had/or will have on real estate property values. Values and incomes may change more quickly
and significantly than during more typical market conditions. It should be emphasized that the results of this
appraisal analysis and the value conclusions reported herein are based on the effective date of the
appraisal and the appraiser makes no representation as to the effect on the subject property of any
unforeseen event subsequent to the effective date.
Please refer to the attached appraisal report, plus exhibits, for documentation of the value estimates
contained herein. It has been a pleasure to assist you in this assignment. If you have any questions
concerning the analysis, or if Carlson, Norris and Associates can be of further service, please contact
us.

Section 1 – Premises of the Appraisal
Purpose of Appraisal: The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate market value of the subject
property in fee simple ownership as described in this analysis under the reporting requirements of
the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), as defined by the Appraisal
Foundation.
Function of Appraisal: To assist Collier County in the possible acquisition of the subject
property.
Competency of Appraiser: The appraisers' specific qualifications are included within this report.
These qualifications serve as evidence of their competence for the completion of this appraisal
assignment in compliance with the competency provision contained within the Uniform 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 appraiser has previously provided consultation and value estimates for large acreage sites
and various types of residential, industrial and commercial properties in Florida.
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 work has been to collect, confirm, and report data. Other general market data and
conditions have been considered. Consideration has been given to the property’s market area,
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

physical characteristics as well as zoning, land use and highest and best use. The work
performed for this assignment included but is not limited too:
• Extent to which the property was identified
o The property was identified by the Folio numbers and the legal description
provided by Collier County/Real Property Management.
• Extent to which the property was inspected
o An inspection of the subject property was done on March 20, 2020. We were
unable to observe the entire property grounds. In addition to the limited physical
inspection inspection, aerial photography was available through the Collier County
Property Appraiser’s office as well as Google Earth have been given consideration,
along with reports from prior inspection from our firm.
• Type and extent of the market researched
o Investigation of public records for the properties’ zoning, land use, flood zone
information, county property appraiser’s records for attributes of the subject
property itself.
o Collection and analysis of sales of TDR’s in Collier County as well as acreage and
AG land sales in the southwest Florida market area in order to form a market value
opinion.
A number of sales, listings as well as TDR transactions have been used in
this analysis. The land sales have been verified by the buyer, seller, broker
or representative thereof. The TDR transactions have been confirmed
through information provided by the Planning Department of Collier
County.
• 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, including land values, the attributes of
competitive properties, and sales data for similar properties.

o Reconciling the value indications from the appropriate approaches to value into
final value opinions for the subject property; all as of the effective date of this
report.
o Preparation of a written report.
To develop the opinion of value, Carlson, Norris and Associates performed an appraisal as defined
by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). In this appraisal, Carlson,
Norris and Associates used the Sales Comparison Approach to develop reliable value indications.
Neither the Cost nor the Income Approaches were applied in this appraisal. The Cost Approach
was not applied since there were no improvements to consider. Vacant land is typically not
purchased for its ability to generate an income stream. Therefore, the Income Approach was not
applied.
Furthermore, the value conclusions reflect information about the subject property and current
market conditions. This appraisal of the subject property has been presented in an Appraisal
Report, which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards
Rule 2-2(b) of the USPAP.
Property Rights Appraised: The property ownership rights appraised in this appraisal are those
known as fee simple.
Fee Simple Interest 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
Intended Use and User of Appraisal: The intended use of the appraisal is to assist the user, the
Collier County Government in the potential acquisition of the subject property.
Market Value Definition: As defined in the Agencies’ appraisal regulations, “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
1 Unless otherwise noted, all definitions in italics are taken from The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal Sixth Edition, the Appraisal
Institute, Chicago, Illinois (U.S., 2010)

is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are 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.”

Date of Value Estimate: March 20, 2020
Date of Property Inspection: March 20, 2020
Date of the Report: April 13, 2020
Sales History: The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice requires a statement of
the listings, sales contracts, and sales history of the subject property for the five years prior to the
appraisal date. One of the parcels, Parcel Number 00329240004, has recorded that it was
acquired by HHH Investments, Ltd. in August of 2019, by a Warranty Deed recorded as OR 5664-
3993. The sale price was $67,500 for the 5-acre property. The analyst is aware of no other sales
on the subject parcels for the five-year period prior to this appraisal date. The property owner has
contracted with the real estate firm of Land Solutions, Inc. to assist them in potential marketing of
the property. An asking price was set at $11,500,000. An offering memorandum document has
been developed which has included the input from Land Solutions, the executive team of Randy
Thibaut, Billy Rollings and Ron Inge of Inge and Associates, along with the engineer RWA
Consulting, (Patrick Vanasse) as well as the environmentalists Synecological Analysts (Brown
Collins). The listing agent, Billy Rollings, stated that the property went under contract last year with
a local developer and that the price was around the previously appraised value, which was at
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

$8,200,000. The developers decided to back out after doing some due diligence and finding that
the property would be a long term project, over 20 years, for permitting, mining, issues with road
access, and other matters to be handled. The property is still listed for sale and has had no other
contracts or no contract pending to our knowledge.
Appraisal History: Carlson, Norris and Associates last appraised the subject property in June of
2017.
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, 2016, the two types of appraisal types are; Appraisal Report and Restricted
Appraisal Report. 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)
This appraisal is reported in an Appraisal Report format.
Exposure Time: Exposure time is the estimated length of time the properties would have been
offered prior to a hypothetical market value sale on the effective date of appraisal. It is a
retrospective estimate based on an analysis of recent past events, assuming a competitive and
open market. It assumes not only adequate, sufficient, and reasonable time but also adequate,
sufficient, and reasonable marketing effort. 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
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
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.
An exposure time of two years or less for the sale of the subject site appears to be reasonable and
appropriate. This exposure time assumes the subject would have been competitively priced and
aggressively promoted within the market area.
Marketing Time: Marketing time is the period a prospective investor would forecast to sell the
subject properties immediately after the date of value, at the value estimated. The marketing time
is an estimate of the number of months it will require to sell the subjects 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 properties. 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 subjects (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 types, and many other factors.
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 sale of the subject
site will require a marketing time of approximately two to three years.

Extraordinary Assumptions: Extraordinary assumptions are defined as: “An assumption,
directly related to a specific assignment, 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:
• An expert soil analysis 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 toxic or hazardous materials either at ground level or
subsurface. The analyst is not an expert in the valuation of site contamination, and
recommend that an expert be consulted.
• The settlement agreement is the defining document as to the number of receiving acres,
sending acres and access.

COLLIER COUNTY AREA ANALYSIS
The subject property is located within Collier County, Florida, some 150 miles south of Tampa and
some 140 miles northwest of Miami. Collier County is located on the extreme southwestern portion
of the state of Florida. Collier County was 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 who 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.
PHYSICAL FACTORS
It is the largest county in the state in terms of land area with 1,998 square miles which includes
821,600 acres of preserves, parks, and refuges. Along with the land area Collier County also has
307 square miles of water to give Collier County a total size of 2,305 square miles. 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. The county is famous for its subtropical climate with average high
temperatures ranging from 78o F. in January to 92o Fahrenheit in August. The average annual
precipitation for the county is 56 inches. This area is also subject to tropical storms and
hurricanes. The hurricane season runs from June through November.
ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL FACTORS
There are numerous economic factors that impact the supply and demand for all types of real
estate and housing in any given area. These factors will be considered and discussed in the
following paragraphs. Although these factors are considered individually, they do not act as
independent agents in the marketplace. They interact and effect, one another. Therefore, the
economic-financial factors considered, should be considered in totality, as a part of the economic
framework.
Population: Collier County has 378,488 people living there as of July 1, 2018 making Collier
County Florida’s 17th most populous county. Collier County had a population of 321,521 in 2010
and they have experienced a 56,967 person increase over 8 years or 17.7% growth.
Additional population estimates reflect population projections from 2018 to the year 2040 and
compare the three coastal counties in the southwest Florida area. The counties include; Charlotte,
Collier and Lee. The population estimate for the year 2018 for Collier County is 367,000 and
increases to 516,000 in year 2045. This represents a 1.3% per year or 40.6% increase in
population over the entire period.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
16
Demographics within Collier County are predominately White at 89.3%, followed by Black or
African American at 7.4%, Asian at 1.6%, American Indian and Alaska Native at 0.5%, Native
Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander at 0.1% and then two or more races filling out the remaining
1.2%.
Tourism: 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. About 1.8 million visitors in 2018 spent over
$1.43 billion dollars, resulting in a total economic impact of over $2.14 billion to Collier County.
Collier County enacts a 5% tax on all hotel, campground and 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, 42.56% of the first 3.58% allocated for beach re-nourishment, beach park facilities
and inlet management. Category B is tourism promotion, 47.85%. Category C is museums,
9.59% of the first 1.91% is allocated for non-county museums.

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 is centered
around Ave Maria University, the country’s newest Catholic University. The university opened its
doors in 2007 and currently has about 1,120 students, including 35 in graduate programs. The
school has plans to keep growing and ultimately incorporate around 5,500 more 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 opened its doors on a site near Ave Maria
University in the form of a $25 million manufacturing plant. This construction brought 500
construction jobs to the area and currently employs around 350 workers, with more being added
all the time. Ave Maria has experienced a sever mosquito problem and as a result they have been
sprayed more than 30 times by very safe pesticides in 2015 making it the most sprayed area in
southwest Florida.
Employment & Income: The most recently reported median household income for Collier County
is at $69,867, a 5.78% growth from the previous year. Collier County’s unemployment rate
declined to 3.4 percent in February 2019, down from 0.2 percent in form January 2019 and 0.3
percent from February 2018. The overall trend of unemployment has been trending downward.
From January 2010 until now, Collier County has experienced downward trends in unemployment
getting as low as almost 3%. The chart below depicts this downward trend along with total
employed data and unemployed.

Collier County’s largest employment concentrations continue to be in industries that are fueled by
population growth. The retail trade (17,859 people), construction (19,630 people), and healthcare
and social assistance (16,643) industries have the most employees in Collier County. Those three
industries combined employ more than 54,000 people in Collier County. The fourth largest
industry in Collier County is the accommodation and food service industry, which employs more
than 14,000 people.
Major employers in Collier County include NCH Healthcare System with 7,017 employees, Collier
County School District with 5,604 employees, and Collier County Local Government with 5,119
employees. As the Collier County population matures, employment in the healthcare industry will
continue to make up a larger part of overall employment. Collier’s top employers are listed below.

Taxes: Florida is one of the few remaining states without a personal income tax. The absence of
personal income taxes draws many people to Florida. Businesses enjoy additional incentive of
low corporate income taxes. The Florida’s tax rate of 6% is one of the lowest in the U.S. and far
below the 12% levied by some states. The largest share of households in Collier County pay
$3,000+ in property taxes.
The Florida statutes provide for the annual assessment and collection of property taxes on real
and personal property. Property taxes are assessed and collected at the county level as revenue
for counties, municipalities, school districts and special taxing districts. The tax rate is set by the
taxing authority. One mill is equal to $1 per $1,000 of property value. The total just value for all
real estate property types in Collier County for 2018 was $112,272,221,732.
Prices: A price index is a tool that simplifies the measurement of price movements in a numerical
series. Movements are measured with respect to the base period, when the index is set to 100.
Our current cost of living index in Collier County is 113.4 meaning that generally speaking the cost
of living is more expensive in Collier County than the average cost of living throughout the United
States. Furthermore, Groceries are at 107.7, Housing is at 143 which is high, but down from 175 in
December of 2016, and Health is at 101 and below you can see the rest of the table and how it
compares to the United States.

Banking/Interest Rates/Financing: As of January 2020, the prime rate was reported at 4.75%.
Approximately one year ago the prime rate was 5.50%. The federal discount rate is most recently
reported to be 2.25%; a year ago was 3.00%. The federal funds rate is 1.75%, while a year ago is
was 2.50%. Currently the benchmark rate for a 30 year fixed loan is 3.68% compared with 4.55%
about a year ago; the 15 year fixed loan is 3.16% compared with 3.69% a year ago, and a five-
year/one-year adjustable arm rate at 3.39% compared with 3.48% the prior year. Mortgage rates
have shown some volatility over the last year. The trend is expected to be for higher interest rates
moving forward.
Financing both commercial and residential properties became difficult during the downturn in the
economy. Financing for vacant land is the most difficult. Vacant land is currently being purchased
by investors with cash and expectation of longer holding periods. Generally financing of improved
properties requires loans of 60%-75% of commercial properties and 90%-95% financing available
for residential properties.
Real Estate and Housing: Collier County was spared from the national economic downturn
(2007-2009). Collier County experienced a significant increase in residential and commercial
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
21
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.
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 monthly averages from 2009 to 2019. In the bottom of the recession
in 2009 Collier County fell below 50 permits per month. The total for November 2019 was up about
40+/- from November 2018. Single family permits identify houses under construction and therefore
reflect jobs in the construction industry.

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.

Total passenger activity for the Southwest Florida International Airport exceeded 1,050,000 in
January 2019, an increase of 9% over January 2018, as well as a 10% increase over the previous
month.
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.
POLITICAL-GOVERNMENTAL FACTORS
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.
Collier County has experienced a change of 1.73% in budget between FY 2018 and FY 2019. The
FY 2019 total net county budget is now $1,189,243,500.

Education: The Collier County public school system currently contains a total of 56 schools with
45,000 students and 3,200 teachers. Collier County averages 2,700 graduates per year. The
below chart shows more detail with regards to the public schools system.
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.
Collier County has a high level of education attainment compared to other counties in Florida and
compared. Collier County has 32% of their people attain a bachelor’s degree of higher compared
to 27% in Florida and 29% in the United States. Only 14% of those within Collier County have less
than a high school education.
SOCIOLOGICAL FACTORS
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
26
Recreation: Collier County offers a vast variety of natural and historical attractions. Places to visit
include the 52 acre Naples Zoo, Collier County Museum, Big Cypress National Preserve, Museum
of the Everglades, Naples Botanical Gardens and many other reserves, museums, zoos, etc.
Healthcare: Within Collier County there is the Naples Community Hospital, North Collier Hospital,
Regional Heart Institute, NCH Wellness Centers and other various clinics. Being the largest county
in Florida with a total area of 2,305 square miles its medical facilities manage to cover it all.
Helicopter usage cuts critical minutes from transport time. 78.7% of those within Collier County
have health insurance compared to 80.4% throughout Florida and 85.8% throughout the United
States. The highest percentage of those without healthcare coverage from people making $50,000
and less.
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, trends have been positive in
most recent years though. 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 is considered to be a wonderful place to live. There are 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.

The subject property is geographically some 16 miles east of State Road 29 in southern Collier
County, seven miles south of Immokalee Road and 12 miles west to the Gulf of Mexico.
A market area generally goes through four stages during its life cycle. These four stages include
the “growth” stage which is the period during which the market area gains public favor and
acceptance. The “stability” stage is the period of relative equilibrium without market gains or
losses. The “decline” period is when there is diminishing demand in the area and the fourth and
final stage is “revitalization” which is period of renewal, modernization and increasing demand.
Based upon the observed conditions within the defined market area, it is the analyst's opinion the
market area is in the growth stage of its market life cycle.
Due to the subject’s location on the eastern edge of Collier County development, its lack of
infrastructure, supporting services and facilities we have stated this area is in the growth stage. It
is in the infancy phase of the growth stage. There is limited development east of the subject
property at this time. Scattered development to the north and south of the subject property is the
main reason for the beginning stages for the growth cycle. Preliminary plans for more
development in eastern Collier County exists. These plans call for more residential development.
Collier County is currently preparing for an overall expansion of 1,000,000 residents within the next
75 years. Currently at peak season there are 400,000 residents in Collier County. The
Community of Golden Gate Estates is expected to grow by 10,000 people in the next 10 years.
There is constant pressure on government agencies to rezone properties to allow for more
development. Currently 77% of the lands in eastern Collier County cannot be developed. This
causes more intensive growth on property that can be. An additional interchange to service
Golden Gate at Interstate 75 is being considered.
Collier Enterprises was in the planning stages of a development to be known as Rural Lands West
off of Oil Well Road in recent years. The original plans for Rural Lands West contained a total of
16,000 acres of which 4,000 would be developed and 12,000 would be utilized for habitat and flow

ways. It was expected this community would add $2,600,000 to the tax base and another 10,000
residents. The community as planned would have parks, golf, commercial and retail shopping,
entertainment, churches and schools. This was to be a self-sufficient community not significantly
different from Ave Maria. The projected sell out of the community would be over a 20 year period.
On January 4, 2019, Collier Enterprises withdrew the RLW Stewardship Receiving Area
application from the Collier County review process. They are reportedly planning to develop the
land into smaller villages.
Today, generally lands to the east over to State Road 29 are undeveloped. This could be
changing as noted above in the next few years. These lands include some portions of Golden
Gate. The Florida Panther Nature Wildlife Refuge is here as well. South of Interstate 75 and east
of State Road 29 is Picayune Strand State Forest and Fakahatchee Strand Preserve. There will
be no further development in these locations.
North of the subject up to the north neighborhood boundary Immokalee Road is the community
Golden Gate Estates. Golden Gate Estates is a platted unincorporated part of Collier County.
The growth pattern for Collier County over the last two decades has been on a whole from west to
east. Many years ago Golden Gate Estates was referred to as swamp. Loggers initially came and
removed the cypress. Lands were cleared and used for pasture. Golden Gate Estates was at one
time known and the World’s largest subdivision. This community was projected to have 400,000
residents. Golden Gate Estates consumes 112,000 acres and has 880 miles of road and 183
miles of canals. The original developer was Gulf American Land Corporation. The majority of lots
found within the Golden Gate Estates community are 1.25 to 2.5 acres. In 1974 the county zoned
properties to require 2.25 acres to build a house. There are properties which are grandfathered in.
Collier County took over maintenance of the roads and Golden Gate Estates from the developer
who filed bankruptcy in 1978. In 1985 Golden Gate Estates was still significantly undeveloped and
the Collier County Conservation Recreation Lands Program targeted some 42,000 acres in the
southern part of the county for acquisition. This process is still underway. Golden Gate Estates
will continue to grow as Collier County grows west to east the infrastructure will continually be
improved by Collier County Government.
Golden Gate City is located within the market area. Golden Gate City is an incorporated city
located northwest of the subject property and has more intensive development with all

Boulevard. Most all goods and services exist here.
Closest developments include; Forest Glen Golf and Country Club 3.7 miles southwest, Cedar
Hammock 5 miles southwest, Naples Lake 6 miles southwest, Old Florida 5.5 miles north,
Lamorada 7 miles north and Vanderbilt Country Club 6.5 miles northwest. Other new
developments include; Hacienda Lakes, San Marino and The Golf Club of the Everglades.
The closest access onto Interstate 75 is at the intersection of Collier Boulevard and Interstate 75
which is 3.5 miles west of the subject. At this intersection can be found a Cracker Barrel, a
LaQuinta Inn, and a Fairfield Inn and a Spring Hills Suites. The White Lake Industrial Park
subdivision is also in the northeast quadrant of the interchange. White Lake Industrial Park is a
thriving industrial park currently home to Parker Hannefin Corporation previously known as Shaw-
Aero. Additionally Roush Enterprises is located in the White Lake Industrial Park. Two miles west
along White Lake Boulevard is a Collier County landfill as well as the location of Yahl Mulching and
Recycling. The Collier County landfill referenced is located at 3730 White Lake Boulevard. This
landfill is 310.97 acres and is a Class One solid waste management facility. It accepts solid waste
six days a week. The landfill began operation at this location in December 1976. The landfill is
operated by Waste Management, Inc. on behalf of Collier County.
Two miles to the north of the subject is the Preferred Materials Aggregate Mind. It along with the
Golden Gate Quarry and the Naples Asphalt Plant are part of a PUD called Warren Brothers. The
western portion of the market area is the location of the most intensive heavy developed portions
of Collier County where all goods and services and heavy residential development are located.
These locations are west of Collier Boulevard and Interstate 75 and are a distance 4 to 10 miles
from the subject. In this location can be found Fifth Avenue (high end retail), The Naples Zoo,
most government offices and hospitals as well as Tin City.
Police and fire protection are provided to the market area and specifically the subject location by
Greater Naples Fire and rescue. Station 70 is located in the center of Golden Gate City some 4.5
miles northwest. Station 71 is located 5 miles to the north. The Sheriff’s Office District 2
substation is also located within the community of Golden Gate City.

Land Description: Land description is described in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth
Edition as: “A compilation of detailed factual data, often including a legal description, other title and
record data, and information on the pertinent physical characteristics of a parcel of land or a site.”
This description is based upon conditions present as of March 20, 2020. We were unable to
complete an inspection of the entire subject site at this time, however, we have used observations
based on aerial photography and previous physical observation of the site.
The total gross acreage equals 967 acres. This includes sending unit acres of 384 and receiving
unit acres of 583. There are no neutral
acres on this property. Transferable
Density Rights (TDR) or Credits that are
attributable to this property include a base
density of 115 units on the receiving
lands and a maximum density of 583
units on the receiving land. The sending
lands account for a total of 230.4 TDR’s.
These include a base TDR number of
76.8, early entry TDR’s of 76.8 and RMP
TDR’s of 76.8. In order for the subject
site to achieve a maximum density of one
unit per acre on the receiving lands for
583 units, this calculation means that 238
units would have to be acquired from the
marketplace. All of these calculations are assume the Rural Village option is not undertaken by
the subject owner. Specifically, we are not considering the mining aspects of the property. Note, if
the Rural Village option were undertaken after mining this would utilize a significant amount of
ground area needed for development and therefore the Rural Village option is not sustainable for
the subject property along with mining.
Documentation between the property owner and our client Collier County indicates that the subject
property is not identified as having any Army Corps of Engineer jurisdictional wetlands.
The shape of the property is irregular. Generally, the property has a width of one mile. This is the
distance along the southerly boundary. The distance from south to north along the easterly
boundary is 8,580 feet or approximately 1.625 miles.

We have performed a web-soil survey of the site to generally obtain information about the soils
that are present. The survey shows seven different soils present on the site. The soil types
present include Holopaw fine sand, Malabar fine sand, Chobee limestone, Oldsmar fine sand,
Riviera fine sand, Fort Drum and Malabar fine sand, and Boca fine sand. Note, there are no
depressional or muck soils present at the subject site. Historically speaking, the wettest
observable areas on sites in the Southwest Florida area have depressional or muck soils. The
wettest portions of the site have Oldsmar fine sand and Riviera fine sand, both of which are
limestone sub strata.

The Florida Land Use Coverage Code System (FLUCCS) identifies 11 different habitats on this
site. A FLUCCS map is included for the reader’s consideration. By far the greatest percentage of
the property is classified as having cabbage palm and cypress dominated habitat. There are
additionally pine flatwoods and palmetto prairies. Some areas of Brazillian Peppers and
Melaleuca infestation are present but none are significant.

Utilities and services are considered next. Currently electricity is available to the site along with
telephone service. There is no public water or sewer service to the specific subject property.
According to the Collier County Government serving the subject property would require amending
the Collier County Water-Sewer District boundary (CCWSD). The closest facilities are 1.3 miles to
the west of the southwest corner. These services include a 10 inch water main and 2 inch force
main which currently serves the county landfill. Two inch force main discharges to a four inch
force main a quarter mile to the west. Collier County reported in recent years that they anticipate a
large subdivision to the north and bordering the subject on its easterly and northeasterly side in the
near future. This new development does consist of both RFMUO neutral and receiving lands.
County water and wastewater service will eventually be extended to this property when it is
developed. The County would not report a timeframe and so it is left with a possibility of water and
sewer being located somewhere just to the north and east of the subject in the future but we do
not know exactly when.
Support services generally refer to fire, police and emergency response time. Closest fire, police
and emergency services are located within the Community of Golden Gate City 4 to 5 miles
northwest of the subject. The answer time is extended but not significant and does not adversely
affect the subject.
The subject site has no paved road access at this time. White Lake Boulevard extends from
Collier Boulevard in an easterly direction. White Lake Industrial Park leads to the County landfill.
White Lake Boulevard turns into Blackburn Road which runs along the north side of Interstate 75
to the southwest corner of the subject property. Blackburn Road currently is one lane, a dirt
service and appears not to be County maintained. Based on the Settlement Agreement, we
consider the subject to have legal and physical access along this one lane dirt road. This is
approximately 6,700 feet of non-paved surface. The cost of building an acceptable road that could
service a residential development is significant.
Manmade improvements include such things as internal streets, curbs, walkways, vertical
structures, sidewalks and utility infrastructure. The only manmade improvements include
perimeter barbed wire fencing and cleared buggy paths. There are no wells or pumps. The
property has never been farmed and has only been used for low density cattle production and
recreational purposes. Reportedly, significant portions have been timbered.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

38
There is no impact on value or utility as it relates to surrounding hazards. The County landfill
which is located one mile to the east of the subject is somewhat of a nuisance in terms of potential
residential development.
Mining/Aggregate Analysis
It has been the specific purpose of the Collier County Government to have this appraisal represent
the value of the real estate only. Reportedly, the value of the underlying aggregate is significant
and is beyond the scope of this appraisal assignment. We have in no way considered any impact
positive or negative on the value of the real estate associated with the oil, gas and mineral rights
that may run with the title.
Checking other mine excavation projects in Collier County, we note a total of 12 active mines at
the present time. These active mines are known as 1) Seacon Pit, 2) Willow Run Pit, 3) Sunniland
Mine, 4) Sunny Winchester Lake, 5) State Road 846 Earth Mine (Jones Mine) 6) Logan Lakes II,
7) Golden Gate Quarry, 8) East Naples Mine Phase II, 9) The East Naples Mine Phase 1, 10)
Immokalee Sand Mine (Stewart Earth Mine), 11) Immokalee Sand Mine, and 12) South Grove
Lake. Also, there were currently reported to be no known new pending mine excavation
applications at the time.
Settlement Agreement Analysis
A settlement occurred in the 20th Judicial Circuit of Collier County, Florida in February 2013
between the owners of the subject property and the Collier County Government. The property
owner filed a claim under the Bert Harris Act challenging the Rural Fringe Amendment which
significantly impacted the future development rights of this property. The settlement resulted in an
exchange of development rights between two large parcels in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use
Development area (RMFUD). It changed 578 acres of the Hussey (subject) property previously
determined to be sending lands to receiving lands. The second component of the agreement
changed 578 acres of the land known as the “846 lands” from receiving lands to sending lands.
Thus the Hussey property having a total of 1,110 acres would have 578 acres receiving lands and
523 acres sending lands. Early entry TDR’s credits were extended as well. The Hussey property
deeded a 180 foot right of way located within 100 feet of the southerly boundary of the site along
the north side of the Interstate 75 right of way. This 180 foot right of way contained 22.318 acres.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
39
The owner was compensated at a rate of $2,500 per acre for the right of way. The credits
associated with this right of way area run with the Hussey land. In other words the Hussey land
includes the 22.18 acres (ROW) in density calculations. The subject property must follow
preservation and natural vegetation retention standards with the CCME. No mineral rights were
transferred from the 846 lands to the Hussey lands.
The “846 lands” consisted of 2,576 acres which now includes 578 acres sending and 1,998
receiving.
Transferrable Density Rights (TDR) Discussion
The concept of density transfer from one parcel to another stems from Government’s need to
protect ultimately the health and safety of its inhabitants. In Southwest Florida some lands are
suitable for development and others such as swamps and heavy growth hammocks holding the
key to water retention for aquifers and maintaining wildlife habitat are not. Transferring Density
creates a system where the property owner can preserve the sensitive land AND receive
compensation for their efforts. Underlying these Transfer Density Rights is the concept that it is
unconstitutional to take away development rights without paying for them thus the Bert Harris Act
came to be and was the legal basis for the Hussey lawsuit and settlement.
In a TDR the right is transferred and any units that may have been developed on a particular
property can be moved and developed to another better suited location. The TDR process is
being attempted in many parts of the country and surely the country as a whole is learning how
this system can best benefit the residents of impacted communities. Conceptually the TDR
process can be described with the Bundle of Rights theory. Bundle of Rights Theory is defined in
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition 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.”
In this comparison the Transfer of Density or Development Rights eliminates the open use of the
property, in other words the right to develop. Transfer Development Rights can be compared to a
Government agency acquiring a conservation easement on a particular site. In each case the
Government purchases the owner’s rights of future development and in turn the property owner

must maintain the property at a very high standard. The lands under consideration in this
appraisal assignment are designated as sending lands and/or receiving lands. Typically, sending
lands are more environmentally sensitive and receiving lands are more suited for development.
Theoretically TDR values can fluctuate depending upon how close a receiving site is to goods and
services amenities and existing development patterns (typical real estate supply/demand
characteristics). The Transfer of Density Rights in high demand locations will/should generate
higher values than lands in remote undesirable areas. The Collier County Transfer of
Development Rights Program located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District was adopted in
February 2004. TDR bonus amendments were adopted in September 2004. The TDR program
establishes a method for conservation and protection of some of the most environmentally
sensitive land in the county. This process theoretically allows property owners of these lands to
recover lost value and development potential through an economic process allowing them to
transfer their density units or rights to lands that are more appropriate for development. The TDR
program has at its core the Collier County Growth Management Plan and their focus on future
growth and development, especially relating to sewer, water and transportation needs. Collier
County is the registrar for buyers and sellers of TDR credits. Collier County maintains an activity
log which tracks all TDR’s in process. The below chart shows Transfers of TDR’s as of the Annual
Audit, December 2019.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

Collier County has established a minimum based TDR Credit of value $25,000. The current price
for bonus TDR’s relating to Early Entry, Restoration and Maintenance and Conveyance are all
negotiable through the buyer and seller and truly market derived while the establishment of a base
credit value of $25,000 is not market support. Because most all transactions include both base
AND bonus credits the ultimate price paid generates a market price. They can be compared to
government impact fees. Developers eventually factor in impact fees in what they pay for raw land
and what they can sell a finished product or home for. The same goes for TDR’s, buyers factor the
base credit cost of $25,000 into the negotiations of blended TDR purchases including base and
bonus credits
As to the location in Collier County where TDR Credits can be used, they can be used within the
Rural Fringe Mixed Use District, receiving lands. TDR Credits can also be used in non-Rural
Fringe Mixed Use Districts, urban residential fringe. The inherent density associated with receiving
lands is one dwelling unit per five acres. The maximum density through the TDR process is one
dwelling unit per acre with the exception that it is higher in Rural Village locations. The minimum
project size for receiving lands is 40 acres.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
42
As to the Urban Residential Fringe, one can only use TDR’s from sending lands located within one
mile of the urban boundary. The maximum density increase in the Urban Residential Fringe area
is one dwelling unit per acre. The total allowable density is 2.5 dwelling units per acre.
As to sending land credits in the Collier County TDR process, there are four types of TDR Credits.
The credits include the base and three bonus credit densities. The base TDR Credit is one TDR
per five acres. If legal nonconforming a lot less than five acres which existed prior to June 22,
1999, then the density is one TDR Credit. An existing dwelling on a property or plans for future
dwelling are not a problem subtract one TDR.
“Bonus Density One” is known as Early Entry. Early Entry bonus density is one additional credit
per base TDR Credit severed. Early Entry deadlines have been extended to September 2019.
The formula for Early Entry bonus density calculation is early entry bonus credits equals the
number of base TDR Credits, a simple one to one computation.
“Bonus Density Two” is known as Restoration and Maintenance Plan or RMP. RMP Credits are
based upon one credit per TDR Credit severed. Restoration and Maintenance TDR’s require an
RMP plan that has been accepted by the County. The formula for Restoration and Maintenance
bonus two credits is the number of base TDR Credits times percent sign subject to approved
RMP.
RMP Credits = Number of base TDR Credits X % property subject to approved RMP.
Conveyance is Bonus Density Three. Conveyance TDR’s are one credit per TDR Credit severed.
If the land is conveyed in fee simple to a federal state or local agency as a gift. A conveyance
credit is possible. Conveyance Credits require a restoration and management plan (RMP) that
has been accepted by Collier County. The formula for Conveyance Credit is:
Conveyance Credits = Number of base TDR’s X % property subject to approved RMP and
conveyed.
Lastly, entities which are authorized to accept conveyance of sending lands properties are as

Zoning/Land Use
By virtue of the 2013 settlement agreement between Collier County and the subject property land
owner the subject property which is subdivided and contains 578 acres of receiving lands and 348
acres of sending lands. An additional 5 acre parcel under the same ownership is considered and is
classified as receiving lands, which results in 583 acres or receiving lands total for the subject.
The zoning for the subject property includes A-RFMUO sending lands – NBMO and A-RFMUO
receiving lands – NBMO. These are descriptive terms for Rural Fringe Mixed Use Overlay
sending lands and North Belle Meade Overlay as well as Rural Fringe Mixed Use Overlay
receiving lands. The land use for the subject property is identified as RFMUD within the North
Belle Meade Overlay and RFMU District receiving lands within the North Belle Meade Overlay.
A complete description of the A classification, the RFMU receiving lands classification, the RFMU
sending lands classification as well as the North Belle Meade Overlay are located within the
addenda of this report.
Below you will find some descriptive maps would provide for a clearer understanding of the

Section 4 – Highest and Best Use Analysis
The principal of highest and best use is defined: “That reasonably probable use and legal use of
vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially
feasible, and that results in the highest value.”
The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility,
financial feasibility, and maximum profitability.
• 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?”
The cornerstone of every appraisal is highest and best use analysis. It is THE basis to wit the
actual valuation is based. In performing the highest and best use analysis the appraiser must
base the highest and best use conclusion on the property characteristics that exist as of the
effective date of appraisal or identify any hypothetical conditions and/or extraordinary assumptions
that are being employed.
The office of Real Property Management of Collier County has requested an estimate of market
value based on the “as is” fee simple ownership as of the effective date of appraisal. The effective
date of appraisal is March 20, 2020. Please be advised this highest and best use does not give
any consideration to oil, gas, mineral rights or any value associated with the aggregate on the
subject site.
Physically Possible Uses: First, the appraiser will consider the physically possible aspects of the
subject property. The subject property contains 967 acres. The total acreage includes 583 acres
of receiving lands. These acres are to the north end of the site. In addition, the subject property
contains 384 acres of sending lands. This is the southerly portion of the subject property. The site
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
49
has been partially cleared. Reportedly, there are no Army Corps of Engineer designated wetlands
on the site. We noted during the inspection significant standing water. There are wet portions of
the site. Access to the property is by a one lane dirt road which extends from White Lake
Boulevard. This access is privately maintained. The property is bordered by other wooded lands
and Interstate 75 to the south. Electricity and telephone utilities are available. Public water and
sewer are a significant distance from the site. The uses which are physically possible on the
property include a wide range of uses including residential, commercial, industrial, agriculture,
recreational and mining, which is not considered in this analysis.
Legally Permissible: Each section of highest and best use analysis will either strengthen or
weaken the uses defined in the previous sections, in this case the physically possible uses. That
should be the case here. Agriculture use of the property will remain a legal use. The subject
property is substantial enough in size to be economically viable. The property has not been
cleared for farming purposes. It is partially cleared based on timbering that was done and is used
for low density cattle production. The current zoning and land allows for residential and agricultural
uses. Commercial and Industrial are not considered as legally permissible under legal and zoning.
There are no legal aspects of the property which would eliminate recreational uses. Therefore,
those uses which remain legally permissible do include residential and agriculture as well as
recreational.
Economically and Financially Feasible: Agriculture and recreational uses while physically
possible and legally permissible do not meet the test of economic and financially feasible. Land
prices in this part of Collier County have exceeded what are typically paid for agriculture properties
in other areas of Southwest Florida. Residential development continues to be the economic driver
for jobs, population increases and the need for additional commercial industrial properties. We do
believe the subject property has current residential development potential. However, the access
and utilities are physical characteristics that will have to be overcome and ultimately affect the
value of the raw land as it exists today. Based upon the settlement agreement the subject
property can be developed with 583 units, 115 of these units coming from the receiving lands, 230
additional units coming from the southern portion of the subject or the sending lands requiring an
additional 238 units to be purchased in the marketplace bringing the overall density to 583 units on
the 583 acres of receiving lands.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
50
Higher density could be established on this property through the Rural Village option. However,
the Rural Village option would utilize a significant amount of the property for mining purposes and
would create large lakes. It would therefore eliminate the potential of reaching the maximum
density allowed under the Rural Village concept. We believe from an economic and financial
perspective, that use which represents the highest and best use of the property is potentially for
the property to be developed with a 583 acre future development on the receiving lands with the
sending lands ultimately being used for some type of passive recreational or agricultural use.
Maximally Productive Use: The maximally productive use for the subject property is for the
development as previously stated with a residential development making maximum utilization of
receiving lands agriculture or recreational use of the sending lands ultimately and the residential
development being developed around a mining project that occurs first.

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 interest in a property by estimating the current cost to construct a reproduction of (or
replacement for) the existing structure, including an entrepreneurial incentive, deducting
depreciation from the total cost, and adding the estimated land value. Adjustments may then be
made to the indicated fee simple value of the subject property to reflect the value of the property
interest being appraised.”
There are no improvements of significance on the subject property. The Cost Approach does not
apply.
VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE INCOME APPROACH
The Income Approach is defined as “A set of procedures through which an appraiser derives a
value indication for an income-producing property by converting its anticipated benefits (cash flows
and reversion) into property value. 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 income, the Income
Approach does not apply.
VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Sales Comparison Approach is defined as: “A set of procedures in which a value indication is
derived by comparing the property being appraised to similar properties that have been sold
recently, then applying appropriate units of comparison and making adjustments to the sale prices
of the comparables based on the elements of comparison. The sales comparison approach may
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
52
be used to value improved properties, vacant land, or land being considered as though vacant; it is
the most common and preferred method of land valuation when an adequate supply of
comparable sales are available.”
The Sales Comparison Approach involves the comparison of properties similar to the subject,
analyzing the differences between the sales and the subject property and correlating the results of
the comparison of the sales to the subject into a value indication.
This Sales Comparison Approach involves somewhat unique characteristics. As previously noted
the subject property is 967 gross acres. The 967 acres is comprised of 583 acres that have been
designated by Collier County as receiving lands through the settlement agreement. The southerly
balance of the property containing 384 acres has been designated as sending lands. The process
employed in valuing the subject property based on TDR units is to locate sales of TDR
transactions and compare those sales to the receiving and TDR sending lands of the subject. We
have documented a highest and best use for the entire subject property being 583 units all to be
developed on the receiving lands. The receiving lands themselves generate a total of 115 credits
or TDR’s. This leaves 463 credits to be obtained elsewhere in order to establish the maximum
density of one unit per acre. 230 of these needed credits can be obtained from transferring the
maximum TDR units from the sending lands to the receiving lands. These credits from the
receiving lands can be generated by base TDR credits of 76.8, early entry credits of 76.8 and RMP
TDR credits of 76.8. This mathematical process leaves 238 units or TDR credits to be obtained
from other locations. The cost or value associated with these 238 additional units is an expense or
cost against the retail value of the property at 583 units.
The process employed utilizes TDR sales and a comparison of those TDR sales to the subject.
This will result in a value of a TDR credit. The TDR value is established by a combination of a
regulated cost by Collier County for base credits of $25,000. All other bonus credits are
negotiable. The fact that the overall TDR value includes an established price by Collier County
and a negotiated price for bonus credits ultimately results in a market price for a TDR credit. We
call this, in this analysis a blended value or blended price per TDR.
The TDR sales included include mostly blended transactions and one bonus density only
transaction.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
53
The first component of the overall value by TDR analysis is to estimate the overall value of the
property for the 583 units at the blended TDR value. From this will be subtracted the value of TDR
credits that need to be acquired to reach the maximum of 583. This value represents the Value of
Receiving Lands by TDR analysis.
The second step in the TDR analysis is to value the sending lands. The sending lands will have
been stripped of their development rights by transfer of the density from the subject sending lands
to the subject receiving lands. The sending lands after being stripped of development rights still
have value. The value of the sending lands is somewhat similar to the value of a remainder parcel
which has an established conservation easement on it. Conservation easements typically restrict
all future development. Properties with conservation easements do have remaining value and can
be used for purposes such as agriculture and recreation. The subject sending lands can also be
used for agriculture purposes such as low-density cattle grazing. The value of the sending lands
after being stripped of development rights is estimated by comparing the sending lands with
agriculture sales in the Collier County and surrounding marketplace which we have located and
are analyzed on a value per acre basis.
The value of the sending lands is further supported by utilizing remainder parcel sales where
conservation easements exist, developing the percentage the remainder parcel conservation
easement sale represents in comparison to the fee value of that same parcel. A chart will be
provided for the reader’s consideration that will show a number of conservation easement
remainder sale transactions. From those sales a percentage for remainder parcel value is
established and compared to the gross acre value of the subject property as a fee simple tract.
These two techniques lend reliable support to the sending lands value.
The summing of the values of the receiving lands by TDR analysis and the value of the sending
lands by sales comparison results in a market value estimate for the subject property.
In order to provide added support for the market value of the subject property we have also
performed a typical Sales Comparison Analysis. In this Sales Comparison Analysis the total 967
acres of the subject property is compared to fee simple transactions of large acreage tracts with
similar characteristics to the subject. A market value is then established for the subject property on
a fee simple basis.

The last step in the Sales Comparison Analysis is to correlate the value estimated by the TDR
analysis and Sales Comparison analysis into one final value conclusion.

Sale 1 is a 2012/2013 transaction involving the transfer of 418.96 total units including base and
bonus. The price paid was $6,284,488 or $15,000 per blended unit. This transaction was for the
development rights. The transaction is analyzed on a cash basis without any impact caused by
financing. A market conditions adjustment is made. Property values in Collier County have shown
over the years from 2013 to 2020, with more stable values in the most recent year. We have
considered a nominal adjustment for time or market conditions for these TDR sales. As the
market gains a better understanding of the TDR process, we do believe that TDR transactions will
mirror the overall market in terms of market conditions. All sales are adjusted on the basis of
about 3.5% per year. The market conditions adjustment resulted in an adjusted price for sale
number one of $ $7,824,188 or $18,675 per blended unit. A comparison of this sale to the subject

Conclusion of TDR Analysis – Valuation of Receiving Lands
This analysis has utilized TDR sales as provided by the Collier County Planning Department.
These transactions have been analyzed on a blended unit basis with the exception of three sales
which were bonus unit only sales. The adjusted blended per unit values for three blended sale
comparables is from $15,890 to $18,675 per blended unit. The three bonus sale only transactions
have an adjusted price from $14,980 to $17,625 per unit. All sales have an overall rating of
superior.
The subject property’s value for a blended TDR credit which includes Base, Early Entry, RMP and
the consideration of conveyance bonuses will fall in a range between $15,800 and $18,700. A
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
64
difference will exist in associated values for receiving lands and sending lands. The reason for the
difference between the value of a TDR credit associated with receiving lands and a TDR credit
associated with sending lands is in the consideration of the time and effort to bring the TDR into
existence in a receiving area versus a sending area and the fact that receiving areas are the
ultimate location of the unit developement. Once TDR’s are established in a receiving area, they
are closer shall we say to a finished product than are TDR credits that are within a sending area.
We can theoretically consider the difference between the value of a TDR receiving credit and the
value of a TDR sending credit as costs and entrepreneurial profit associated with moving the TDR
further to the fully entitled product. It is my opinion the value of a blended TDR credit associated
with receiving lands is $16,000 per unit and the value of a TDR credit associated with the
purchasing TDR’s from a sending land is $14,000 per credit.
Based upon the above information we can estimate the market value of the 583 units to be located
on the 583 acres of receiving lands valued on a blended TDR basis. The computation of
multiplying 583 units by a value of $16,000 produces a market value estimate without further
adjustments of $9,328,000. In previous section of this report we have determined that in order to
reach the maximum density of 583 units the subject will be required to go into the marketplace and
purchase a total of 238 of those units. Based upon our value of $14,000 per blended TDR, which
the 238 units could be, results in an adjustment of $3,332,000. Subtracting the cost of acquiring
238 units from the gross value of 583 units produces a value for the receiving lands by TDR
analysis of $5,996,000.

Comments:
The sale was confirmed by the attorney representing the seller. The property had been on
the market for an extended period of time. Most recent use was for crop production. There
was no residual crop value or equipment in the transaction and no signifcant improvements.
The location does lend itself to other uses than strict agricultural use. Less than 2%of the soils
are of wetland type. Seller financing was part of the transaction. Our File Number: 17-75

Comments:
The property had been listed for approximately one year for $1,200,000 and had one offer
for $900,000 which was rejected by the owner. The listing expired and was re-listed with
another broker for $1,100,000 for approximately four months prior to being placed under
contract for $900,000. The transaction was part of a 1031 exchange and both the broker and
buyer indicated the transaction price was arm's length and represented market value. The
previous owner had filled approximately 16 acres from a lake dug on site. This was most
probably done without a permit based on information provided by both of the listing brokers.
Improvements include a single family dwelling containing 2,214 square feet built in 1987.
Additional improvements include a guest cottage, pole barns, stables, riding paddock and
other small out buildings. The property was purchased to be a weekend retreat. The listing
broker indicated the improvements did have some contributory value but was unable to
provide an allocation of value as the value of the improvements would be different for different
buyers. This was reported as an arm's length transaction at market value. Our File

Comments:
This is the sale of a land parcel in Immokalee, with zoning of Rural Agricultural District
including a Mobile Home Overlay and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay. The buyer is
the adjacent property owner, who purchased additional land for a residence. There was
reportedly interest from another party which would have potentially sold for more and the
listing agent stated that this land was not marketed and would likely have been sold for a
much higher price on the open market. The purchaser was not a related party but someone
who the seller had worked with for a different property and they were provided a discount on
the property.

Comments:
This was the sale of a 206.80 acre parcel in Naples, that was a former excavation site. The
property had 160 acres of the site that was a lake. The seller, Greg Jarrett, verified the sale
and the arm's-length nature and said he had listed online for $22 million to see if there was
any interest prior to the sale. He said there were some lower offers, however, the buyer who
is the adjacent owner, Jeff Greene, was interested in the site due to the site providing access
to Immokalee Road and additional water retention. The buyer owns the 2,500+ acres to the
south.

The above sales are agricultural transactions located in Collier County and are compared to the
384 acres of sending lands which in this scenario have no development rights. The 384 acres
have an agricultural highest and best use, therein lies the reason for this comparison.
Property Rights Conveyed: “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.” The property rights conveyed for all four of these transactions were fee simple. An
adjustment for the subject being a less than fee transaction is warranted. You will note on the
sales grid in the miscellaneous category consideration of the difference in the development rights
between the fee simple sales and the less than fee subject property.
Financing Terms: “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.” The AG sale transactions were a combination of cash, seller held and
conventionally financing. None of these components were considered to impact the price paid and
therefore no adjustment.
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, e.g., when the comparable transaction is not an arm's-length sale.” Consideration will
be given to the fact that Sale 1 was a bank owned transactions at the time of sale. This sale is
representative of being on the lower end of the market range based upon this factor alone.
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, also called a time adjustment because the differences in dates of sale are often
compared.” Based on the previous market conditions analysis the sales are adjusted at 3.5% per
year.
Adjusted Price per Unit of Value: The analyst has considered adjustments for property rights,
financing, conditions of sale, expenditures after sale and market conditions. The adjusted sales
prices for the transactions range from $4,793 per acre to $8,267 per acre.
Qualitative Analysis: The next analysis considers the factors of location, parcel size, land use,
zoning, utilities, access, and property rights transferred.

Location: The comparable Sales 1 through 4 are all located in the Immokalee area or more
easterly in Naples and further from the goods and services and general patterns of growth. The
location of all comparable sales are measured as inferior. Sale 5 is located in northeast Naples
and is considered similar to the subject.
Parcel Size: The subject property will contain 384 acres. The comparable sales range in size
from 128 acres to 207 acres and are comparable agricultural parcels to that of the subject. All
sales receive a similar rating for size.
Land Use: The subject property’s land use is Rural Fringe Mixed Use Sending and is located in
the North Belle Meade Overlay area. While the comparable sales have somewhat differing land
uses they are not significantly different from the subject in terms of the overall uses, we have rated
all comparable sales with respect to land use as similar.
Zoning: The subject property’s zoning is Agriculture, Rural Fringe Mixed Use Sending and North
Belle Meade Overlay. Again, the comparable sales differ for somewhat with respect to zoning, but
all ultimately are agriculture tracts. The comparable sales are rated as similar with respect to
zoning as compared to the subject.
Utilities: The subject property has electricity and telephone available. The comparable sales 1
through 3 all have electricity and telephone available and are rated as similar in this category of
comparison. Sales 4 and have well and septic available and are rated superior.
Access: The subject property has dirt road access. The paved publicly maintained portion of the
White Lake Boulevard extension is a significant distance from the subject property. Properties
located on paved roads are measured as superior. Properties measured on dirt roads are
measured as similar. In this connection, Sales 2, 3, 4, and 5 are measured as superior. Sale 1
has access on a dirt road and is measured as similar.
Miscellaneous: The miscellaneous category is used to consider the “less than fee” component of
the subject. The subject property is an agriculture parcel with no future development potential.
Sales one, three and four are located in truly agriculture areas. These properties will remain
agriculture for some time and have some potential low density long term development. We do
consider this to be superior. Sales 2 and 5 are located on State Road 82 and Immokalee Road ins
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

closer proximity to other developed properties and could see development sooner than the other
comparable sales. These sales are measured as superior with respect to development potential.
Final Analysis Sending Lands (AG Sales): The comparable sales are all agricultural
transactions located in Collier County. They have all occurred in a fairly recent period of time
between 2016 and 2018. The adjusted prices on a per acre basis range from $4,793 to $8,267.
The qualitative analysis resulted in all of the transactions being rated as superior to the subject.
We do believe the subject’s location is superior to most of the sales in closer proximity to
developing areas of Collier County and Naples; however, the lack of future development is a
significant factor. The subject property’s value falls somewhere just below the overall range as
indicated by these sales. It is my opinion the market value of the subject property as a “less than
fee” parcel with an agriculture highest and best use is $4,500 per acre which equals $1,728,000.
In order to provide additional support for the value of the sending lands we offer the following
analysis of remainder sales on conservation easement parcels.

The above ten sales are remainder transactions. In other words, these are sites that have
conservation easements. The conservation easements are for the purpose of limiting future
development. These ten transactions are all basically agriculture and recreation parcels. You will
note these transactions occurred in a geographical area around Florida between 2011 and 2015.
On a per acre basis the remainder transactions ranged from $326.00 per acre to $3,100 per acre.
As a percentage of fee value these parcels show a range from 22% to 62% of the fee value. The
approximate mean of these ten transactions indicates that typically remainder parcels have a
value of around 40% of the fee value.
In the next section of this report, an analysis will be presented wherein the value of the subject
property will be measured based upon fee simple transactions in the Southwest Florida market
area. The value supported by these sales is $9,000 per acre. Applying a percentage adjustment
of 50% based upon these above ten transactions would support a value of $4,500 per acre.
This information is provided for added support of the sending lands value supported by the four
agricultural sale transactions. Again, it is my opinion that the sending lands value is estimated at
$4,500 per acre as of the effective date of appraisal. The market value for the 384 acres of
sending lands with no development rights is $1,728,000.
Final Value Estimate TDR Analysis
The summation of the market value for the receiving lands and the market value of the sending
lands as a remainder parcel, results in an overall market value estimate of $7,756,000.
Receiving Lands Value Estimate $6,028,000
+ Sending Lands Value Estimate $1,728,000

Sale verified with listing broker Billy Rollins. The subject is 2,576± acres and consists of
agriculture, mining, and preservation lands. It is located in North Naples on the east side of
Immokalee Road approximately 13 miles east of Interstate-75. The land sits in the Rural

Comments:
This is an irregular shaped parcel purchased for continued agriculture use. The site had
previously been farmed with the majority of the property cleared, rim ditched, and drainage
ditched. There is a large wetland/cypress head on the central portion of the site. In addition,
there was a 120 acre orange grove located on the southerly portion of the property.
Immediately after purchase the new owner pushed the grove. The site sold a higher price per
acre overall than the value of the grove. The site had been on the market for a number of
years prior to being placed under contract. The property was listed for sale for $5,759,000
when it was placed under contract for $5,500,000. This transaction was part of a 1031
exchange. The seller's representative indicated this was an arm's length transaction at market
value at the time of sale. Reference Number: 20-32

This analysis is provided as additional support for the market value of the subject property. The
TDR process can be cumbersome and difficult to navigate. We believe that providing this
additional qualitative sales comparison analysis of fee simple transactions will add overall
credibility to the market value estimate.
The basis of this analysis is the comparison of actual fee simple transactions that exist in the
Southwest Florida marketplace for large acreage parcels with similar highest and best use and
physical characteristics. We researched the marketplace and found six transactions. Below is the
qualitative analysis presented in narrative form for the reader’s consideration. The above chart
has a criteria column, a subject column and six corresponding columns for the comparable sales.
The comparable sales are analyzed on a transactional basis for characteristics relating to property
rights, financing, conditions of sale, expenditures after sale if necessary and market conditions.
These transactional adjustments result in an adjusted sales price and an adjusted sales price per
acre.
This analysis is followed by consideration of the sales and subject property’s physical
characteristics of location, size, land use, zoning, utilities and access. This analysis is made on a
qualitative basis wherein each of these categories of comparison receives a rating of similar,
inferior or superior. Each of the six sales is given an overall rating of similar, inferior or superior.
Property Rights Conveyed: “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.” The property rights conveyed for all six sales were fee simple, no adjustments were
necessary.
Financing Terms: “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.” The transactions were a combination of cash, cash to seller and
conventionally financing. Financing of these six sales had no impact on sales price.
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, e.g., when the comparable transaction is not an arm's-length sale.” Conditions of sale
is that category used to adjust out for certain components such as possibly physical improvements
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
96
or such as vertical improvements or buildings which may have impacted value. No conditions of
sale adjustments are warranted.
Expenditures After Sale: None of the sales were adjusted for expenditures after sale for this
analysis.
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, also called a time adjustment because the differences in dates of sale are often
compared.”
Based upon the analysis in the previous sale comparison sections, these large acreage
transactions will be adjusted on the basis of a nominal 3.5% per year increase in value.
Adjusted Price per Unit of Value: The analyst has considered the base adjustments for property
rights, financing, conditions of sale, expenditures after sale and market conditions. Market
conditions adjustments were made to all of the sales. This process has resulted in an adjusted
price per acre range from $7,518 to $31,441.
Qualitative Analysis: The next analysis considers the factors of location, size, land use, zoning,
utilities and access. This portion of the analysis process was prepared on a qualitative basis
wherein each of the characteristics for the sale properties is given a rating of similar, inferior or
superior. An overall rating for each comparable sale as compared to the subject is also provided.
Location: The subject property is located in southeast Collier County. Sale 1 is located in east
Naples off of Immokalee Road. Sales 2, 4, 5, and 6 are located in Estero along Corkscrew Road.
These locations vary considerably depending on what section of Corkscrew Road the property is
located on. Lastly, Sale 3 is located off of Corkscrew Road along the east side of I-75. Sale 1 is
measured as similar in location. Sales 2 and 5 are located at the far end of Corkscrew Road and
are measured as inferior to the subject. Sales 3, 4, and 5 are located in closer proximity to
developed areas and are considered superior for location.
Parcel Size: The subject property contains 967 total acres. The comparable sales range in size
from 200 acres to 3,906 acres. Sites that are significantly larger, while not necessarily inferior
would have a lower price per unit of comparison. In this case per acre and therefore for qualitative
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
97
purposes are rated as somewhat inferior. Likewise, sales that are significantly smaller would
typically have a higher per acre basis and therefore are rated as superior on a qualitative basis.
Sales 2, 4, 5, and 6 are rated as similar for size. Sales 1 and 3 are rated as inferior for significantly
larger sizes.
Land Use: The subject property’s land use includes Rural Fringe Mixed Use Sending and Rural
Fringe Mixed Use Receiving in addition to the North Belle Meade Overlay area. The comparable
sales which is measured as similar to the subject includes Sale 1, the Collier County transactions.
Sales 2, 3 4, 5, and 6 are measured as inferior with lower overall density associated with the land
use.
Zoning: In the same connection as land use we measure the zoning associated with Sales 1, 2,
3, 5 and 6 measured as similar and the zoning associated with Sale 4 being rated as superior.
Utilities: The subject property has electricity and telephone utilities available. Comparable sales
1, 3, 4, and 6 have all utilities availableand are measured as superior. Sales 2 and 5 only have
electricity and telephone available and are measured as similar.
Access: The subject property has limited access from a long dirt road leading from West Lake
Boulevard extension along Blackburn Road which is a one lane dirt road. It is not publicly
maintained. All comparable sales have substantially superior access along paved roads and are
measured as superior in this category of comparison.
Final Analysis Sales Comparison Large Acreage Fee Simple Valuation: The above analysis
uses six transactions that have occurred in the Collier and Lee County markets since 2016. These
sale transactions are all competitive in that they are large acreage tracts in the general path of
development most of which were purchased with low density development rights but potential for
higher density through the permitting process.
The analysis has been made on a qualitative basis. The final analysis resulted in one of the
transactions as being rated as overall similar (Sale 5), one transaction being rated as inferior
overall (Sale 2) and four transactions being rated as overall superior (Sales 1, 3, 4 and 6). The
superior rated transactions have adjusted price per acre of these transactions is from $11,748 to
$31,441. Sales 4 and 6 are significantly superior and will receive the least emphasis. Sale 1 had
significant value influencing components relating to mining and is rated as superior. The inferior
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
98
rated sale, Sale 2, is at an adjusted price of $7,518 per acre. The similar rated sale, Sale 5, is at an
adjusted price per acre of $9,801. The subject property’s value should be below the superior range
of values and above the inferior value. Comparable sale two is the lowest rated sale and is rated
inferior with an adjusted price of $6,953 per acre. This property was purchased for investment and
is located on the extreme west end of Corkscrew Road. The subject’s value should be higher than
the indicated value of this sale. The subject’s value should fall within a range close to that value
associated with Sale 5.
Based upon the above analysis, it is our opinion giving significant consideration to the lack of
utilities and limited access to the subject property, the market value of the subject property is best
supported as of the effective date of appraisal, March 20, 2020, at $9,000 per acre for the 967
acres which produces a market value estimate of $8,703,000.
Final Analysis Reconciliation - Sales Comparison Approach
The subject’s market value estimate has been supported by a TDR analysis as well as a Fee
Simple Acreage Sale Transaction Analysis. The TDR analysis produced a market value estimate
of $7,724,000. The Sales Comparison analysis utilizing fee simple acreage transactions
supported a value of $8,703,000. Placing emphasis on both of these approaches, it is my opinion
the overall market value of the subject property as of March 20, 2020, is $8,200,000.

Section 6 – Reconciliation of Va lue
Value Estimate by the Cost Approach Not Applicable
Value Estimate by the Income Approach Not Applicable
Value Estimate by the Sales Comparison Approach $8,200,000
The Cost Approach has been considered but was not used because there are no improvements.
The Income Approach was considered but was not used. The subject property does not have
income potential as is.
The subject property is a large acreage parcel containing a total of 967 acres on the north side of
Interstate 75. The property has access along a dirt road which extends off of White Lake
Boulevard and is known as Blackburn Road. The subject property contains 384 acres of sending
lands and 583 acres of receiving lands. A settlement agreement in a Bert Harris lawsuit between
the property owner and the Collier County government resulted in the establishment of this ratio of
receiving and sending lands.
From a Sales Comparison perspective the valuation of the subject property has been measured in
two ways. The first method was through TDR analysis with further consideration of the sending
lands being a remainder parcel with no development rights. A significant amount of research was
undertaken in order to locate TDR sales as well as support for the remainder parcel. The value
estimate by this analysis is well supported. In addition, the analyst has provided an estimate of
market value based upon a comparison with large acreage fee simple transactions in the
Southwest Florida market area.
These two techniques used in the Sales Comparison Approach were correlated into a well-
supported final value estimate. This appraisal does not value oil, gas and mineral rights
associated with the subject property. This is based upon the conditions upon which the appraisal
was contracted for.

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.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
106
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.
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
107
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
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
108
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.
This analysis assumes no site contamination to the subject property. Environmental audits have
not been provided for the reader’s consideration. It is assumed that water use permits are in place
for the property.
Extraordinary Assumptions: Extraordinary assumptions are defined as: “An assumption,
directly related to a specific assignment, 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;
COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARLSON, NORRIS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
109
• 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:
• An expert soil analysis 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 toxic or hazardous materials either at ground level or
subsurface. The analyst is not an expert in the valuation of site contamination, and
recommend that an expert be consulted.
• The settlement agreement is the defining document as to the number of receiving acres,
sending acres and access.

Re: Appraisal of a 967± acre parcel known as “HHH Ranch” in Collier County, Florida
PO#: 4500202357
Dear Mr. Leonard:
As you requested, we have performed an appraisal of the above-referenced property, which is legally described
within the attached report. This letter is an integral part of, and inseparable from, this report.
The purpose of the appraisal is to arrive at an opinion of market value of the subject property in its “as-is”
condition. The interest being appraised is the undivided fee simple interest in the land as if otherwise free
and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances and/or encroachments. The intended use of this appraisal
is to establish a basis of value for a possible acquisition of the subject property. The intended user of this
report is Collier County Board of County Commissioners.
This appraisal report is intended to conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice & the
Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute. This
appraisal is made subject to the Assumptions and Conditions contained within the body of this report.
Based upon our analysis of the data contained within the attached appraisal report, it is our opinion that the
“as-is” market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property, as of 2 April 2020, is
EIGHT MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS - $8,900,000

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lengthy. Please see Property Description section.
SITE AREA:
967± acres as per legal description and information from settlement
agreement (Case No.: 08-6933-CA and 08-6988-CA) in the Circuit Court of the
20th Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida.
IMPROVEMENTS:
The subject property has perimeter fencing and some minor improvements
including a small hunting camp. Because of the large size of the property (967±
acres) and the age and condition of these improvements, it is our opinion that
any interim use value would be below the rounding threshold used in this
appraisal and subsequently would not contribute to the overall value of the
subject in an appreciable manner.
ZONING:
Rural Agricultural District (A) within overlays of Rural Fringe Mixed Use -
Receiving Lands, Rural Fringe Mixed Use - Sending Lands, and North Belle
Meade Overlay District (NBMO). The north 583 acres is located within RFMU –

Lands.

COMMENTS ON COVID-19
On Wednesday, March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the COVID-19
Coronavirus to be a global pandemic. This appraisal is being completed in the midst of the pandemic and there
is significant market uncertainty. The analysis has been performed in the context of the best information
available at this time and was completed with additional reliance on Appraisal Institute Guide Note 10 which
offers advice on the development of an opinion of market value in the aftermath of a disaster. Appraisal Institute
Guide Note 12 was also relied upon in its direction relative to market analysis in a quickly changing market. The
client should be clear that the appraisal is performed at a point in time and that the market value opinion is as
of a certain date, the effective date. Analysis is being performed as quickly as possible to measure the impacts,
if any, to the subject’s market as a result of this event.
Guide Note 10 offers the following: “The more problematic appraisal assignments are those for which the date
of value occurs in the aftermath of the disaster. If no data is available on transactions that occurred in the
aftermath of the disaster, data on transactions that occurred prior will require adjustment for market conditions.
Such adjustments may be difficult to substantiate. An appraiser must be extremely careful in the use of such
data and the estimation of any such market conditions adjustment. In time, more transactions will occur and
more data will become available for analysis. Until then, the appraiser must work with what is available. The
terms and conditions of any sales that do occur must be analyzed more closely; buyer and seller motivations
must be investigated more thoroughly, and the nature of the property’s exposure on the market must be
examined.” The analysis is being performed with as much current information and market feedback as possible.
However, the appraiser can only work with what is available.
Guide Note 12 provides the following context: “However, appraisers are not expected to be prognosticators.
Unforeseen events can completely eradicate conclusions that have been based in trend analysis or fundamental
market analysis. A market value opinion is as of a particular date, and it is an attempt to reflect the anticipations
of market participants as well as market fundamental trends and analysis. Events subsequent to the date of
value that were not anticipated by market participants can cause values to change -- in some cases,
significantly.” and “There are two risks inherently associated with any appraisal that are of particular concern to
the intended user. The first is the risk that the reliability of the value conclusion may be adversely impacted by
a lack of quality data. The second is the risk that the value might not be sustainable over time.”
On March 15th 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered the federal funds rate to a target
range between 0-0.25 percent. This was the largest emergency reduction in the more than 100-year history of
the Fed. The target range has been lowered to this level only one other time, during the 2008 financial crisis.
The Fed also announced that it would purchase $500 billion in U.S. Treasuries and $200 billion in mortgage-
backed securities and would take additional measures over the next several months. They also lowered reserve
requirements, and will allow financial firms to utilize capital and liquidity buffers to encourage lending activity
across the country.
As of Monday March 16th, 2020, all four of the major publicly traded commercial real estate brokerages (Colliers
International, Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE and JLL) experienced substantial losses in their respective stock
prices ranging from 5-10%. Major homebuilders saw daily stock prices plummet at a steeper pace with many
experiencing losses between 19-31%. Shares of Home Depot, Zillow, and Redfin also fell roughly 20%.
A 2005 study from the Congressional Budget Office modeled the impact of a potential influenza outbreak and
the analysis suggested that a severe pandemic could cut U.S. GDP by roughly 4.5%. The study also found,
however, that a sharp rebound was possible at the end of such an event. Justin Boyar, CoStar Director of Market
Analytics, suggested “With the stock market declining and fears of a recession on the horizon, consumers will
be nervous to spend, even with lower oil prices. With a decline in consumer spending, business investment could
decline as well.”
The above is a sampling of initial information being analyzed during the appraisal process. Further, our office is
studying trends which have occurred in the Southwest Florida real estate market as a result of the COVID-19
epidemic. As illustrated below, the residential market is reacting with a reduction of supply (listings) to match
the current decrease in demand (pending/under contract sales). The charts below illustrate this reduction in
4
supply with withdrawn listings and the decrease in demand with a significant decline in pending listings
compared to similar time periods in 2018 and 2019.
5
In addition, commercial trends are being studied in Southwest Florida. However, the commercial market data is
lagging and has not illustrated the immediate reaction as found in the residential market. A similar lag was
experienced during the Great Recession in which the residential markets reacted to the financial imbalance in
the market in late 2005-early 2006. However, the commercial markets continued to flourish for another year+.
Lastly, our office surveyed real estate and business professionals in our market via an email survey
campaign. The results of the survey varied. However, most respondents felt the impact of COVID-19 will likely
be short term (< one year). A clear condition derived from the survey was that over 90% of the respondents feel
marketing times in all real estate sectors will be extended.
As additional data becomes available with the passage of time, it will be incorporated in future analysis. The
client should be aware of and consider the context of the value opinion reliability as it relates to current events.

SEC. II: SCOPE OF WORK
According to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2020/2021 Edition, 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 data research; and
the type and extent of analysis applied to arrive at opinions or conclusions.
EXTENT OF PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION
For this analysis, the subject property was identified by a legal description and research of public records via the
internet. For this appraisal, reliance was placed primarily upon information provided by the local public records,
as well as information provided by our client.
EXTENT OF INSPECTION
For the purposes of this appraisal, no onsite inspection of the subject property was completed as agreed upon
by the appraiser and the client. Gerald A. Hendry, MAI, CCIM has previously inspected the subject property onsite
in June 2017. For purposes of this analysis, inspections were made via aerial photography, GIS portals, etc.
TYPE AND EXTENT OF DATA RESEARCH
Data research is regularly conducted using the following sources:
Public Records
Local REALTOR® Association Multiple Listing Services (MLS)/Loopnet/CCIM
CoStar comparables service
Information from contractors, brokers and agents in the area
The primary emphasis of the data research concentrated on the subject market area. Census data, as well as
municipal and governmental websites, were utilized in gathering the information analyzed. The time period
researched for any sale data encompasses the past few years up until the date of the most current data
available. All comparable data is verified with the buyer, seller or a property representative unless otherwise
indicated. In the analysis, the selling price, financing, motivation to purchase/sell and, if applicable, any lease or
income/expense information was verified as of the time of sale.
TYPE AND EXTENT OF ANALYSIS
Purpose of the Appraisal
The purpose of this appraisal is to develop an opinion of the “as is,” fee simple market value of the subject
property as if free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and/or encroachments.
7
Condition Appraised
In this analysis, we are developing an opinion of the “as is” condition, defined by the Appraisal Institute in The
Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition as follows:
The estimate of market value of real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as of the
appraisal date.
Real Property Interest Appraised
There are primarily two forms of interest to consider when developing an opinion of value for real property. These
are defined by The Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition as follows:
Fee simple interest (estate) is:
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.
Leased fee interest is:
The ownership interest held by the lessor, which includes the right to receive the contract rent specified in the
lease plus the reversionary right when the lease expires.
As the subject property is vacant land and not subject to a lease, the interest being appraised in this situation is
the undivided fee simple interest in the land as if free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and/or
encroachments except as may be amended in the body of this report.
Value Appraised
The opinion of value developed and reported herein is the market value of the subject property. Market value,
as defined by the agencies that regulate financial institutions in the United States and published by 12 CFR Ch.
V Part 564.2 (g) Office of Thrift Supervision, Department of the Treasury, is:
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:
a. Buyer and seller are typically motivated.
b. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their
own best interests.
c. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and
e. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with
the sale.
Approaches Developed
As there are no significant improvements associated with the subject property, the Cost Approach does not apply.
Further, as properties such as the subject parcel are not typically purchased, as vacant, for their ability to produce
a rental income stream within this marketplace, the Income Approach has also been omitted. Therefore, we
have utilized the Sales Comparison Approach exclusively in developing an opinion of market value.

Report Type
This is an Appraisal Report which is intended to comply with the reporting standards set forth under Standard
Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2020/21 Ed.
ASSUMPTIONS
An assumption is defined by The Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition as
follows:
“that which is taken to be true.”
Please see the Addenda for further details regarding the assumptions utilized in this appraisal.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
Extraordinary Assumption is defined by the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2020/2021
Edition, as:
“an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis
which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”
Per USPAP standards, please note that the use of extraordinary assumptions might have affected the assignment
results. It is strongly recommended that the reader thoroughly read the entirety of these assumptions, as they
outline the limitations under which this appraisal is developed.
This analysis does not include any consideration for sub-surface rights or any minerals or materials
potentially associated with the subject property.
For purposes of this analysis, we have considered the size of the subject property to be 967± based on
the Settlement Agreement (Case No.: 08-6933-CA and 08-6988-CA), the legal description contained
within this Settlement Agreement, and the Collier County Property Appraiser for FOLIO 00329760005.
The Settlement Agreement includes properties in Section 33. However, our analysis includes only those
properties in Sections 29 and 32. Moreover, we have relied upon the agreement for specific rights
associated with the subject property which, in some instances, vary from the Land Development Code
and Growth Management Plan. A copy of the Settlement Agreement may be found in the Addenda to
this report.
There are potential cattle, hunting, and timber leases currently on, or formerly on, the property. These
documents have not been provided. It is assumed these potential leases are short term (less than one
year) and would not impact the market value.
We have relied upon information from Collier County Government, Growth Management Department, as
well as other departments for the potential dwelling units on the subject property and Transferable
Development Rights (TDR) on the subject property. It is assumed the information contained in this
appraisal from Collier County is accurate. Should this information be found to be false, this could alter
the opinions and conclusions herein.
It is assumed the property would have legal access via a 50’ right of way on the south side of Section
31, Township 49 South, Range 27 East, owned by Collier County.
No information regarding potential Panther mitigation was available on the property. It is assumed all
of the comparables would have a relatively similar cost upon development for this potential mitigation.
9
No current onsite inspection was completed. It is assumed the subject property is physically in a similar
state as the June 2017 inspection.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
Hypothetical Condition is defined by the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2020/2021 Edition,
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.”
Per USPAP standards, please note that the use of hypothetical conditions might have affected the assignment
results. It is strongly recommended that the reader thoroughly read the entirety of these assumptions, as they
outline the limitations under which this appraisal is developed.
None applicable.
COMPETENCY PROVISION
This summary appraisal report has been prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Within USPAP there is a Competency Provision which states, in part, “Prior to
accepting an assignment or entering into an agreement to perform an assignment, the appraiser must properly
identify the problem to be addressed and have knowledge and experience to complete the assignment
competently......” If the appraisers lack the knowledge or experience necessary for a particular assignment, this
must be disclosed and all steps necessary to complete the assignment competently must be taken. In regard to
this appraisal, we have the necessary knowledge and experience to complete the assignment.

SEC. III: MARKET AREA ANALYSIS
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA / COLLIER COUNTY DATA
11
Collier County, named for Barron Collier, was created from Lee County in 1923, and is the second largest county
in the State of Florida by land area. Collier County is bordered by Miami-Dade Counties to the east and Lee and
Hendry Counties to the north. The county's western boundary is the Gulf of Mexico. The county contains a total
of 2,025 square miles of land area and 91 square miles of inland water area. Collier County is the second largest
county east of the Mississippi River and is larger than the States of Rhode Island and Delaware. The present-
day Collier County encompasses 2,305 square miles, with a variety of natural inland, coastal, and barrier island
habitats, with approximately 13% of the total area being water. The year-round population is 321,520 as of the
2010 census. There are three (3) incorporated municipalities in Collier County as follows:
City of Naples: Incorporated in 1949. 14.41 Square Miles. 2010 Population: 19,537.
The city of Naples is the county seat of Collier County, as well as being the principal city of the Naples-Marco
Island Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city was originally settled in 1886, with the majority of growth occurring
after the depression and World War II. The City is home to a number of major employers, as well as non-profit
organizations and Fortune 1000 companies. The Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South corridors are
considered to be the heart, or “downtown” of the City of Naples, and this area is a popular retail and shopping
destination. The City of Naples also features a number of cultural centers and organizations including The Naples
Players, the Opera Naples, the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, the Philharmonic Orchestra and Theatre Zone
Equity Theatre Company, the Naples Jazz Orchestra, the Naples Youth Jazz Orchestra and the Naples
Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
City of Marco Island: Incorporated in 1997. 17.1 Square Miles. 2010 Population: 16,413.
Originally named San Marco Island by Spanish explorers, Marco Island is the largest barrier island within
Southwest Florida's Ten Thousand Islands area, extending southerly to Cape Sable. The island was purchased
in the 1920’s by Barron Collier, and was originally incorporated as Collier City in 1927, but was later
unincorporated. Marco Island is generally considered to be a resort destination, and the desirability of real estate
coupled with the finite supply, has led to a rapid escalation of property values, which are significantly higher than
many other parts of Collier County.
City of Everglades: Incorporated 1923. 1.2 Square Miles. 2010 Population: 400.
The City of Everglades, known more commonly as Everglades City, is located at the mouth of the Barron River,
on Chokoloskee Bay, approximately 32 miles southeast of Naples, near the extreme southeasterly corner of
Collier County. With the establishment of the Everglades National Park in 1947, the economy of Everglades City
began to shift from industrial and agricultural to tourism and eco-tourism. The Everglades National Park visitor’s
center is located in Everglades City.
There are many other unincorporated, yet distinct, communities in Collier County, both rural and suburban in
nature. These include Ave Maria, Golden Gate, Goodland, Naples Manor, Naples Park, Immokalee, Lely Resort
and many others.
Collier County is a growing county with many diverse geographical areas and populous communities. Collier
County is second only to Lee County as the center of growth and activity for the five (5) county area (Charlotte,
Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee).
12
There are four basic factors that influence value according to The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition.
These factors include:
I. Social Forces
II. Economic Forces
III. Governmental Forces
IV. Environmental Forces
Each of the forces interacts, resulting in increases, decreases, or stabilization of property values. As a result,
these forces also serve to directly affect the demand for real property in a particular area. The four forces that
affect values are described as follows:
I. Social Forces
Population fluctuation has a significant impact on property values. The chart below demonstrates the change in
population between the two most recent decennial Censuses..

(1 JULY EST.) 2010 2000 Change
COUNTY POPULATION 378,488 322,653 257,926 +46.74%
1. United States Census Bureau
II. Economic Forces
Economic considerations involve the financial capacity of the inhabitants of a region to rent or own property and
properly maintain it. These economic forces may include income levels, unemployment rates, the economic
base of a region and the strength of development and construction.

Collier County Single Family
14
This historical data indicates that approximately 7% to 17% of the available single family units listed for sale in
Collier County were absorbed each month for the most recent 12 month period. The average for the most recent
12 month period was 14.08%, while the last 48 month average was 12.78%. As of the date of this report, the
residential markets are in a period of growth and the bulk of the evidence suggests that conditions going forward
should be a continuation of our current conditions with slightly moderated growth as the pace of pricing
normalizes as shown above. For the most recent 12 month period, there were an average of approximately
3,199 single family residential units on the market per month, and an average of 438 units were absorbed each
month. It took an average of 101 days to achieve a sale in 2019 compared to 93 days in 2018, 102 days in
2017, and 85 days in 2016.
For the single family product type in Collier County, inventory levels have increased since December 2015. The
highest level of inventory was experienced in 2019 with average single family inventory of 3,311 homes which
is up from the averages of the previous three years of 3,063 in 2018, 2,712 in 2017, and 2,752 in 2016. The
following chart illustrates the average available inventory since November 2015:
Average marketing times increased from 2016 level, however, have been relatively consistent from 2017-2019.
Although demand has been increasing (see Number of Sales below), the increase in inventory is creating a slight
increase in the average marketing time. The following chart illustrates the historical marketing times for this
product type since December 2015:

The following chart illustrates the number of sales since November 2015:
Also, the following chart illustrates the change in pricing levels over the same period:
III. Governmental Forces
The county government consists of a five-member board of county commissioners, elected to four-year terms
within single-member districts. A non-elected county manager heads the government staff. Other elected
officials in the county are sheriff, tax collector, supervisor of elections, clerk of the circuit court, and property
appraiser. In addition, there are numerous special districts with independently elected boards, with the services
provided ranging from fire protection tot water & sewer service.
Services
There are two incorporated cities with the usual municipal services, such as police protection and fire protection.
The balance of the county is patrolled by the Florida State Highway Patrol and the Collier County Sheriff’s
Department. Independent fire control districts serve the balance of the unincorporated area for fire and rescue
services.
16
Utilities
CenturyLink is the primary telephone service provider for Southwest Florida. CenturyLink has a fiber optic
backbone that has the ability to connect all of its central offices and maintain high network availability. KMC
Telecom, Inc., along with CenturyLink, has a SONET ring surrounding Fort Myers. This SONET ring safeguards
customers from service interruptions by using diverse routing of its fiber optic cables. Electricity is supplied by
Florida Power and Light and TECO. Gas is available from any one of a number of manufactured bottled gas
dealers in the county or directly from TECO. Water and sewer service is supplied by the either city or county
government.
Medical Services
The Naples Community Hospital System is a private non-profit which oversees several facilities throughout the
county.
Educational System
The School District of Collier County oversees the uniform K-12 public educations system within Collier County.
There are also several private and parochial schools in the county. Florida Southwestern State College has a
campus in Naples, while Florida Gulf Coast University is located in south Lee County. Ave Maria University is a
newly established Catholic University located in Naples.
Transportation
By far, the major artery through Collier County is U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail). Another major artery is Interstate 75 (I-
75), which connects Naples to the east coast population centers of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Air service is
limited but currently expanding out of Naples Airport. Currently, sixteen airlines operate out of Southwest Florida
International Airport, just north of Naples, in Fort Myers.
IV. Environmental Forces
The county has a sub-tropical climate. The average temperature is 74 degrees. Temperature extremes are
infrequent with only a rare freeze and few readings above the mid-90s. Rainfall averages just over 53 inches
annually, with the heaviest rains during the summer months.
CONCLUSION / LIFE CYCLE STAGE
The subject market area is in the Growth stage of its life cycle. This market area experienced tremendous
development from 2003-2005, then an equally significant decline in property values from 2006-2011, followed
by the current growth cycle from 2012 to current. This growth trend is most pronounced within the Naples area,
but increasing property values and new development is also occurring in the eastern rural areas of the County
as well as land is becoming scarce in the central (western) areas of Collier County.
17
COMPETITIVE MARKET AREA
18
I. Boundaries:
The subject property is located on the north side of Interstate 75, east of CR 951, and west of Everglades
Boulevard in the eastern portion of Collier County.
The competing market area consists is delineated as follows:
North Immokalee Road
South Interstate 75
West CR 951 (Collier Boulevard)
East SR 29
This portion of Collier County is generally undeveloped, and rural or agricultural in nature, with the exception of
developments off Immokalee Road and CR 951 and smaller, rural residential properties of Golden Gate Estates.
To the north of this market area is Immokalee, which is an unincorporated community consisting of
approximately 20,000 residents. Over the past decade, this area has experienced renewed activity with the Ave
Maria Development and most recently with the announcement of the Rivergrass project. These two projects are
both part of the Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) program which was established by Collier County's Land
Development Code (LDC) 4.08.00 in conformity with the Growth Management Plan in 2002. This program was
developed to protect and refurbish areas needed for wildlife habitat and natural flow-ways while allowing property
owners the opportunity to develop in a manner that benefits economically and ecologically.
Historically, this area has been solely utilized for agricultural, rural residential and some mining purposes. With
the Rural Land Stewardship program, approximately 200,000 acres in eastern Collier County have been
delineated which gives incentive to property owners to preserve large areas of environmentally sensitive lands
and focus development away from these sensitive areas. The program has created a balance between
developers and environmental groups in sensitive areas of the County.
II. Linkages:
There are generally three functional classifications which apply to roadway networks, being arterials, collectors,
and local roads. All streets and highways can be grouped into one of these classes, depending on the character
of the traffic (i.e., local or long distance) and the degree of access that they allow. Arterials provide the highest
level of mobility and a greater degree of access control, while local facilities provide a high level of access to
adjacent properties but a low level of mobility. Collector roadways provide a balance between mobility and land
access. This market is served by two minor north/south arterial routes and two minor east/west arterial routes.
Immokalee Road, CR-951(Collier Boulevard) and Oil Well Road are the primary arterials providing access to the
urban core areas west of the subject. Immokalee Road is a County Road, and provides access from the urban
areas of Naples starting at its western terminus of Tamiami Trail N.(US 41) east to Immokalee. CR-951 provides
north-south access from Immokalee Road south to Marco Island. SR 29 represents the approximate eastern
boundary while Interstate 75 (I-75) is the southern boundary. I-75 provides limited access to subject market
area with interchanges at CR-951 and SR 29. Oil Well Road, to the north of the subject is an east-west traffic
artery which is the “gateway” into Ave Maria. Oil Well Road continues easterly to an intersection with State Road
29, which provides additional access to Interstate 75.

III. Demographics:
The east Collier County market was historically a rural and low density area of Collier County with a relatively
stabilized population base at very low levels until the development of Ave Maria University and surrounding
community in the mid 2000’s. This area had historically grown much slower than Collier County as whole,
although a sharp spike in population was seen between 2000 and 2010, with the introduction of the university
and surrounding communities. Growth within this market area is expected to increase over the next five years,
with the Ave Maria project surpassing 2,000 closed homes in 2019 and year over year sales increasing 10.5%
from 2018 to 2019. Moreover, other developments such as Rivergrass will continue to add units to this area
along with smaller projects such as The Ranch at Orange Blossom. The following chart illustrates the population
and households in this market area since 2010:

The population growth in this market area had historically lagged far behind Collier County as a whole until the
introduction of Ave Maria. This was partially attributable to the stabilized population within this market area and
the desire for much of the market to remain at low densities. Between 2000 and 2010, the population grew
significantly primarily due to the development of Ave Maria. This growth rate slowed substantially during the
recession, and has improved with the sales pace of homes. The competitive market area is projected to have an
annual population growth rate of 2.23% through 2024 which exceeds the growth rate of Collier County and
Florida. The following is a breakdown of the demographics of delineated market area:

IV. Significant Projects:
Ave Maria: The Ave Maria community is located near the easterly edge of the above delineated market area. Ave
Maria is a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) located in the easterly unincorporated areas of Collier County,
south of the community of Immokalee, Florida. Ave Maria University and the surrounding town were created in
the early 2000’s in a partnership agreement between Tom Monaghan and the Barron Collier Companies. The
original Ave Maria campus was located in Michigan, but was relocated to Collier County when zoning rights for
planned expansions in Ann Arbor Michigan could not be obtained. In 2003, the Barron Collier Companies
donated approximately 5,000 acres of land for the project, and the campus was opened in 2007 with an initial
enrollment of about 700 students. Approximately 20% of the overall lands are designated for the University
Campus, with the rest of the lands being used for residential and other development. The town and university
are conceptualized to be a Roman Catholic-centric enclave, in a mold similar to that of Notre Dame in Indiana.
A number of master planned communities are being developed within the town of Ave Maria by third party
builders, and there are approximately 11,000 planned residential units at build-out. Enrollment and home sales
have fallen short of initial expectations and, as a result, some of the new master planned communities (such as
Maple Ridge, Coquina and Avalon Park) are being marketed to a wider demographic which includes families
looking for more affordable single family housing (relative to Naples as a whole) in a small town environment.

The following is an overview of the Ave Maria community:
22
The Ave Maria community itself is located near the northeasterly edge of the above delineated market area and
has experienced strong initial growth in 2007 with 177 sales followed by 2008-2012 which had an average of
48 sales per year. A resurgence occurred in 2012 with 107 sales and continued with 183 sales in 2014, 287
sales in 2015, 321 sales in 2016, 337 sales in 2017, 237 sales in 2018, and 262 sales in 2019. In total,
there has been 2,152 closed sales through 12 December 2019.
There are a number of distinctive master planned neighborhoods within Ave Maria, as well as the town center,
each having their own product type, character and appeal. These neighborhoods can be described as follows:
Del Webb: The Del Webb Naples neighborhood in Ave Maria is a 55+ adult community located along Anthem
Parkway, south of the Ave Maria town center. There are 11 models of homes available within the community
ranging from 1,289 square feet to 2,634 square feet with two and three bedrooms floor plans. Prices start from
$236,990 up to $353,990. Amenities include the Oasis Club, an amenity center featuring over 12,000 square
feet of entertainment and fitness space, resort and lap pools, tennis and bocce ball courts, café, art studio and
an 18-hole championship golf course.
Emerson Park: Emerson Park is a family friendly, all-ages neighborhood located at the northeast corner of the
site, originally developed by Lennar and most recently marketed by Pulte, consisting of one and two story single-
family homes. There are a number of floor plans and styles available ranging from 1,570 square feet to 3,514
square feet, with three to six bedrooms. This project is now sold out
Hampton Village: Hampton Village is being marketed as a traditional-style neighborhood, with homes that
feature front porches, alley-loaded garages, and large, single-family floor plans designed specifically for growing
families. Hampton Park is located just south of the Town Center. Pulte Homes sold out this project
Bellera Walk: Bellera Walk is now sold out. The project was most recently marketed by Divosta Homes.
Residences at La Piazza: The Residences at La Piazza are condominium units located on the second and third
floors of the Town Center. They are designed to be Mediterranean or European in style with views of the
University and the downtown area. The floor plans range in size from 1,189 square feet to over 1,700 square
feet of living space. Resales range in price from $180,000 to $287,000.
Maple Ridge: Maple Ridge is one of the newer communities within Ave Maria and is intended for single family
development by CC Devco. The development will have 1,699 units at buildout with Phases 5A, 5B, and 6A (42),
Phase 2 (88), Phase 3 (220), Phase 4 (164), remaining Hampton Village (23), Phase 5A (130), Phase 5B (121),

6A (12) and future phases of 899 units. There are 17 floor plans being offered, with 30 exterior elevation
packages. Floor plans range from three to five bedroom homes on one or two stories. Sizes range from 1,935
square feet to 4,032 square feet, and pricing from $289,990 to $417,990.
Coquina at Maple Ridge: Coquina at Maple Ridge is located adjacent to the larger Maple Ridge project. This
community is designed with smaller, single family lots (45’). This community has homes ranging in size from
1,348 square feet to 2,251 square feet and pricing ranging from $211,990 to $264,990. This project is nearing
sellout which should occur in 2Q 2020.
Maple Ridge Reserve: Maple Ridge Reserve is also a CC Devco community within Ave Maria and is intended for
larger, single family lots and residences. The development has homes ranging in size from 3,097 square feet to
4,358 square feet. Pricing within this community averaged $480,00 to $490,000 in 2019. Marketing began in
approximately July 2015. There are 51 lots in Phase I. Due to slow sales for this product type, the developer
eventually converted future phases to smaller lots with a project known as Silverwood.
Avalon Park: Avalon Park is the newest community within Ave Maria and is being developed by Pulte Homes.
The development will consists of 1,200 units with homes ranging in size from 1,565 square feet to 4,242 square
feet. Pricing within this community ranges from $242,990 to $436,990.
Silverwood: Silverwood is one of the newer communities within Ave Maria and is being developed with single
family residences with lots typically of 40’± in width. The development has homes ranging in size from 1,133
square feet to 2,251 square feet. Pricing within this community ranges from $219,990 to $269,990.
Ellington Park: Ellington Park is also one of the newer communities within Ave Maria and is bundled within the
Avalon Park Community being marketed by Pulte. The development has homes ranging in size from 1,861
square feet to 4,242 square feet. Pricing within this community ranges from $296,990 to $436,990. Lots
within this community are typically 70’ to 75’ in width.
Town Center and the Arthrex Commerce Park: The La Piazza Town Center is located adjacent to the university
campus near the northerly edge of the town of Ave Maria, and is centered around the Ave Maria Oratory Church.
The Town Center features retail shops and restaurants as well as office space and public services. Located near
the southerly end of the Town of Ave Maria, the Arthrex Commerce Park is a 57 acre flex/light industrial park
anchored by the new 197,000 square foot manufacturing facility for Arthrex, Inc., a major medical instrument
manufacturing company. This industrial park will eventually encompass 200 acres accommodating a wide range
of businesses, R&D and manufacturing.
The Ranch at Orange Blossom: This project is a master planned community being developed by Lennar Homes,
located along Oil Well Road, just east of Immokalee Road. New homes within the community are priced from
between $208,999 to $444,999. Amenities include tennis facilities and a community pool as well as bike and
jogging paths throughout the community.
To the east of Ave Maria is Camp Keais Road, and little development other than orange groves extending beyond
the easterly edge of the market area. To the south of the community is Oil Well Road, with row crops and orange
groves extending southerly until development dissolves into conservation lands and the Florida Panther National
Wildlife Refuge. To the west of the Ave Maria community is an area of wetlands extending southerly from Lake
Trafford which is a flow way draining into the conservation lands to the south. Beyond this area of wetlands are
row crops, Oil Well Grade Road, and further west, the fringes of the suburban portions of Collier County. The
majority of the area in the competitive market area is within the Rural Land Stewardship Overlay, which
encourages conservation, clustering of development and smart growth concepts. Overall, the market area
generally serves as an agricultural and rural community with the exception of Ave Maria. Of significance is a
proposed project to the west known as Rivergrass which will be a Rural Village SRA under Collier County. This
project is proposed to be developed by Collier Enterprises and will consist of 999 acres. The project will
eventually include up to 2,500 dwelling units, 80,000 square feet of neighborhood-scaled retail and office uses,
and 25,000 square feet of civic, government, and institutional uses, and an 18-hole golf course. The project is
still seeking approval by Collier County. On 7 November 2019, the Collier County Planning Commission
recommended denial of the application. At the 10 December 2019, Collier County Board of County
24
Commissioner’s meeting, the application was extended and not voted on by the Commission.
The following is a summary of the potential projects within the competitive market area from a presentation by
Mark Strain in December 2019 titled “Collier County Looking Ahead: Numbers, Updates & Trends 2020”:

V. Stages Of The Market Area Life Cycle:
A market area normally goes through four stages during its life cycle. These four stages are as follows:
Growth - a period during which the market area gains public favor and acceptance.
Stability - a period of relative equilibrium without market gains or losses.
Decline - a period of diminishing demand.
Revitalization - a period of renewal, modernization, and increased demand.
The subject’s market area is in a period characterized as being in a growth stage given the significant
development activity primarily to the west at Interstate 75/Collier Boulevard, and north along Immokalee Road
and Oil Well Road.
VI. Conclusion:
In summary, this geographic area is a mostly rural and agricultural expanse far removed from the urban core,
with projects like Ave Maria and Rivergrass being independent enclaves, somewhat isolated geographically,
economically, characteristically and ideologically from the surrounding patterns. The population within the larger
market area has shown favoritism towards rural and low density lifestyles, and employment and income figures
have historically been far below county norms. This area will be a future growth area as western and central
portions of Collier County are approaching build-out. Growth continues to spread outward and eastward from
the coast and the developed urban core.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS
SUBJECT OVERVIEW:
The subject property is an assemblage of eight (8) parcels containing
approximately 967+/- acres of gross land area, located along the northerly
right-of-way of Interstate 75 (“Alligator Alley”), approximately 3.1 miles east of
CR 951 (Collier Boulevard) and approximately 3.6 miles south of Golden Gate
Boulevard in the eastern Naples area of Collier County, Florida. The property is
subject to Settlement Agreement (Case No.: 08-6933-CA and 08-6988-CA
Hussey v. Collier County). A copy of said Settlement Agreement can be found
in the Addenda to this report. The Settlement Agreement changed the
designation of the northerly 578 acres of the subject property from Sending to
Receiving Lands (see Zoning/Land Use). The southerly 384 acres of the subject
is designated Sending Lands.
ADDRESS:
According to the Collier County Property Appraiser, the address of the property
is undetermined. The property is located in the unincorporated areas of Collier
County, Florida.

LOCATION/ACCESS/
EXPOSURE:
The subject property is located along the northerly right-of-way of Interstate 75,
east of CR 951 (Collier Boulevard) and south of Golden Gate Parkway in
unincorporated Collier County, Florida. The extensive frontage along Interstate
75 provides good exposure to the property. However, as of the date of
appraisal, legal access is somewhat uncertain. Physically access is now
provided from CR 951, east along White Lake Boulevard to Blackburn Road to
the southeast entrance to the subject property. The subject is approximately 1
mile from White Lake Boulevard. Blackburn Road is a 50’ right of way owned
by Collier County which is currently a dirt road in poor condition. It is assumed
Blackburn Road would be the primary access to the subject and would most
likely have to be developed at the expense of the property owner. It is assumed,
in addition to this providing access, the property owner would most likely
receive some impact fee credits for developing this right of way.
Land Solutions, Inc., the listing broker for the property, provided a Conceptual
Site Plan completed by RWA Engineering in May 2017, which illustrates
potential future access points at the southern intersection of Markley Avenue
and Inez Road which would traverse the subject to the east side of the property
and potentially access Wilson Boulevard Extension and Haul Road, neither of
which exist or are in the planning stages as of the date of valuation. These road
extensions are not known to be on Collier County’s plan or the Metro Planning
Organization plans in near future. The southern terminus of Wilson Boulevard
is approximately 2.5 miles north of the northern boundary of the subject.
While the subject property has frontage along Interstate 75, there is no direct
access to this highway, and none is likely to ever be granted. Access is a
significant hurdle for development of the subject whether for residential
purposes or mining purposes. Significant upgrades would be necessary to the
roadway networks prior to development of the subject. It is assumed, the
property owner would incur significant costs whether in the form of developing
Blackburn Road or acquiring rights for an access to the north.
SIZE (SITE AREA)/SHAPE:
According to the Settlement Agreement, the subject property consists of a total
of 967± acres. In addition, there is an additional parcel identified as FOLIO
00329760005 which consists of 5 acres for a total subject size of 967± acres.
This appraisal is subject to a current survey. The Settlement Agreement
describes the total ownership as 1,110 acres. However, the 143 acres in
Section 33 is not part of this appraisal. The Settlement Agreement lists 308
acres in Section 29 and 654 acres in Section 32. The subject property is
slightly irregular in shape with the southerly edge measuring approximately one
mile in length along the Wilson Road Extension right of way and Interstate 75.
44
PHYSICAL FEATURES
(TOPOGRAPHY, ELEVATION,
ETC.):
The subject property is rather large (967± acres) and, as a result, contains a
variety of different topographies and features. According to a letter dated 9
August 2015 from the Department of the Army, Jacksonville District Corps of
Engineers, “the project site is a 975 acre parcel containing 14.9 acres
jurisdictional freshwater herbaceous wetland and six isolated freshwater
herbaceous wetlands totaling 126.3 acres.” In addition, according to a map
depicting wetland jurisdiction completed by Synecological Analysts dated 10
December 2010, the property has the following FLUCCS codes and
descriptions:

UTILITIES:
Currently, the subject property has electrical service provided by FP&L.
However, the subject property is outside of the Collier County water and
wastewater service area which is highlighted below in blue:
According to the Collier County Public Utilities Engineering and Project
Management Division, serving the subject property would require amending the
Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) boundaries and there are
presently no water or wastewater facilities readily available. According to this
source, the closest facility is 1.3 miles west of the southwest corner of the
subject property and includes a 10” water main and a 2” force main that serves
the Collier County landfill. The 2” force main discharges to a 4” force main ¼
mile to the west. The main can be shown as follows:
46
FLOOD ZONE:
According to The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s - Flood Insurance
Rate Map program (Community Panel No. 12021C0420H and 12021C0440H
- Date: May 16, 2012), the subject is primarily situated in an area designated
as Zone AH with small portions of the property located within Zone AE. Flood
Zone AH has flood depths of 1’ to 3’. Flood Zone AE has base flood elevations
determined. Typically, flood insurance is required under most financing
situations.
IMPROVEMENTS:
The subject property has perimeter fencing as well as minor improvements for
a hunting style camp. The hunting camp consists of several aging buildings
which were damaged by a fire in 2017 and are in extremely poor condition.
Because of the large size of the property (967± acres) and the age and
condition of these improvements, it is our opinion that any interim use value
would be below the rounding threshold used in the appraisal and subsequently
would not contribute to the overall value of the subject in an appreciable
manner.
EASEMENTS,
ENCROACHMENTS, ETC.:
As noted, as part of the Settlement Agreement, the subject property owner
donated the southerly 180’ of Section 32, Township 49 South, Range 27 East
to Collier County for the Wilson Boulevard Extension. The subject has access
and rights via this property. We are not aware of any other easements or
restrictive covenants which may be associated with the subject property, other
than those typical easements which are required to provide utility service, and
ingress and egress. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other restrictions or
development moratoriums that would have an adverse impact on the property.
ASSESSED VALUE, TAXES,
AND ASSESSMENTS:
As of the date of this appraisal, the taxes are paid for 2019, and we are not
aware of any outstanding tax liability.
47
ZONING:
The subject property has a designated zoning classification by Collier County as
follows:
2.03.01 A. Rural Agricultural District (A). The purpose and intent of the
rural agricultural district (A) is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral,
and rural land uses by accommodating traditional agricultural, agricultural
related activities and facilities, support facilities related to agricultural
needs, and conservation uses. Uses that are generally considered
compatible to agricultural uses that would not endanger or damage the
agricultural, environmental, potable water, or wildlife resources of the
County, are permissible as conditional uses in the A district. The A district
corresponds to and implements the Agricultural/Rural land use
designation on the future land use map of the Collier County GMP, and in
some instances, may occur in the designated urban area. The maximum
density permissible in the rural agricultural district within the urban mixed
use district shall be guided, in part, by the density rating system contained
in the future land use element of the GMP. The maximum density
permissible or permitted in A district shall not exceed the density
permissible under the density rating system. The maximum density
permissible in the A district within the agricultural/rural district of the
future land use element of the Collier County GMP shall be consistent with
and not exceed the density permissible or permitted under the
agricultural/rural district of the future land use element.
In addition, the subject is located in the overlay districts of Rural Fringe Mixed-
Use District – Receiving Lands, Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District – Sending
Lands, North Belle Meade Overlay. These are generally described as follows:
2.03.08A.Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District ( RFMU District ).
Purpose and scope. The purpose and intent of the RFMU district is to
provide a transition between the Urban and Estates Designated lands and
between the Urban and Agricultural/Rural and Conservation designated
lands farther to the east. The RFMU district employs a balanced approach,
including both regulations and incentives, to protect natural resources
and private property rights, providing for large areas of open space, and
allowing, in designated areas, appropriate types, density and intensity of
development. The RFMU district allows for a mixture of urban and rural
levels of service, including limited extension of central water and sewer,
schools, recreational facilities, commercial uses and essential services
deemed necessary to serve the residents of the RFMU district. The
innovative planning and development techniques which are required
and/or encouraged within the RFMU district were developed to preserve
existing natural resources, including habitat for listed species, to retain a
rural, pastoral, or park-like appearance from the major public rights-of-
way, and to protect private property rights.
48
ZONING - CONTINUED:
RFMU receiving lands. RFMU receiving lands are those lands within the
RFMU district that have been identified as being most appropriate for
development and to which residential development units may be
transferred from RFMU sending lands . Based on the evaluation of
available data, RFMU receiving lands have a lesser degree of
environmental or listed species habitat value than RFMU sending lands
and generally have been disturbed through development or previous or
existing agricultural operations. Various incentives are employed to direct
development into RFMU receiving lands and away from RFMU sending
lands, thereby maximizing native vegetation and habitat preservation and
restoration. Such incentives include, but are not limited to: the TDR
process; clustered development; density bonus incentives; and,
provisions for central sewer and water. Within RFMU receiving lands, the
following standards shall apply, except as noted in subsection 2.03.08
A.1. above, or as more specifically provided in an applicable PUD.
RFMU sending lands. RFMU sending lands are those lands that have the
highest degree of environmental value and sensitivity and generally
include significant wetlands, uplands, and habitat for listed species.
RFMU sending lands are the principal target for preservation and
conservation. Density may be transferred from RFMU sending lands as
provided in LDC section 2.03.07 D.4.c. All NRPAs within the RFMU district
are also RFMU sending lands
2.03.08C. North Belle Meade Overlay District (NBMO).
Purpose and intent. The North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) is unique to
the RFMU district because it is surrounded by areas that are vested for
development on three sides. Because this area is largely undeveloped
and includes substantial vegetated areas, the NBMO can and does
provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including endangered species. The
NBMO is intended to achieve a balance of both preservation and
opportunities for future development that takes into account resource
protection and the relationship between this area and the Estates
developing around the NBMO.

SEC. V: HIGHEST & BEST USE ANALYSIS
Real estate is valued in terms of its highest and best use. Highest and best use is the use which would be the
most profitable and likely use of a property. It may also be defined as that available use and program of future
utilization which produces the highest present land value. Highest and best use is defined by The Dictionary of
Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, as follows:
1. 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.
2. The use of an asset that maximizes its potential and that is possible, legally permissible, and financially
feasible. The highest and best use may be for continuation of an asset’s existing use or for some alternative
use. This is determined by the use that a market participant would have in mind for the asset when
formulating the price that it would be willing to bid. (IVS)
3. [The] highest and most profitable use for which the property is adaptable and needed or likely to be needed
in the reasonably near future. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions)
The Highest and Best Use Analysis begins with an analysis of the property as if vacant and available to be put to
its highest and best use. The property is further analyzed if there are improvements, either existing or proposed,
for the site. The four criteria of highest and best use are as follows:
Legally Permissible Use - what uses are permitted by zoning and deed restrictions on
the subject property?
Physically Possible Use - what uses are physically possible to put on the site?
Financially Feasible Use - which possible and permissible uses will produce a net return
to the owner of the site?
Maximally Productive Use - among the feasible uses, which use will produce the
highest net return?
PRESENT USE
The subject property presently utilized for speculative holding for future development.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS VACANT
The highest and best use analysis of the site examines the type of improvement that is most appropriate for a
particular site.
Legally Permissible
Within this community, the future land use categories are broad indicators of growth potential such as raw
residential density and service provision, while the zoning designation controls specific allowable development.
The subject property is zoned A (Rural Agricultural District) by Collier County. The purpose and intent of the Rural
Agricultural District (A) is to provide lands for agricultural, pastoral, and rural land uses by accommodating
traditional agricultural, agricultural related activities, and facilities, support facilities related to agricultural needs,
and conservation uses. Other uses such as single family dwelling, oil and gas exploration, and others are
permitted. In addition, the property is located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use (RFMU) Receiving Lands overlay
and Sending Lands overlay and the North Belle Meade Overlay. The subject property consists of 583 acres
located in the RFMUD-Receiving Lands and 384 acres in the RFMUD-Sending Lands. Furthermore, according to
the Growth Management Plan, the property is located within the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District – Receiving
lands and Rural Fringe Mixed use District – Sending Lands as well as the North Belle Meade Overlay of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Collier County. The subject property is somewhat unique in that the property
51
has development rights stemming from a settlement agreement between Francis D. Hussey, Jr. and Mary P.
Hussey and Winchester Lakes Corporation with Collier County. This Settlement Agreement, which can be found
in the Addenda to this report, has several nuances which supersede the Land Development Code. According to
Collier County Government, Growth Management Department, the 384 acres located within RFMUD-Sending has
a base density by right of 9 dwelling units (384 acres/40 units per acre = 9.6 dwelling units rounded to 9 dwelling
units). In total, including base TDRs and bonus TDRs, the sending area could potentially have 230.4 TDR credits.
The following is a breakdown of the subject lands located in the RFMUD-Sending lands along with the estimated
base density allowable:

The following is a breakdown of the potential TDRs which could be achieved on the subject property according
to Collier County Government, Planning Department:

to assume ownership and management responsibility in Sending in this area.
In addition, a total of 583 acres of the subject property is located within RFMUD-Receiving Lands. According to
Collier County Government, Planning Department, the subject property has a base, allowable density of 116
units (583 acres/5 units per acre = 116.6 units rounded to 116 units). Furthermore, the property has a potential
density of 1 unit per 1 acre by maximizing TDR credits. The property could achieve 583 dwelling units by
acquiring TDR credits from Sending Lands. Moreover, if the property is developed as a Rural Village (RV), there
would be a potential for a minimum density of 1.5 dwelling units per acre up to a maximum density of 3 dwelling
units per acre. The following is a breakdown of the subject parcels located within the RFMUD-Receiving Lands
as well as the estimated potential TDRs on the subject property with and without a Rural Village:

Based on the zoning, zoning overlays, and land use, the legally permissible uses would be agricultural,
residential, and/or oil and gas exploration.

Physically Possible
Various physical factors have an effect on the uses to which a property may be developed. These factors may
include: size, shape, topography, and soil conditions. The subject property is slightly irregular in shape,
consisting of an estimated 967± acres of land area. The southerly portion of the subject property benefits from
extensive frontage along Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley) but has no access to this highway. According to
information from the Department of Army, Jacksonville District Corps of Engineers, there are a total of 126.3
acres of jurisdictional wetlands. These wetlands, in our opinion, based on preliminary conceptual plans
completed by RWA Engineering, are placed in a manner which allow for a sufficient layout of a residential
community. Although the subject property benefits from legal rights associated with the RFMUD-Sending Lands
and the RFMUD-Receiving Lands, there are some physical constraints to the subject property in terms of access.
Currently, the property is physically accessed via Whitelake Drive to Blackburn Road to the southwest corner of
the subject property. Moreover, as per the aforementioned Settlement Agreement, the Husseys (Property owner)
deeded to Collier County 180’ of right of way for the future Wilson Boulevard Extension (Blackburn Road) along
the southerly line of the property. This land area deeded to the County consists of 22.31± acres. In return for
deeding this property, the property owner received $55,795 in road impact fees which will run with the subject
property into perpetuity. The property owner will be permitted to access this future Wilson Boulevard Extension
for residential and agricultural uses with at least two tie in locations that permit left turns in. As per the
Settlement Agreement, the property owner may be permitted access onto the future Wilson Boulevard Extension
for the hauling of excavated materials which access will be subject to the conditions of any excavation permits
or conditional uses that may be obtained. The property owner entitlements to density and TDRs shall include
this area dedicated to the County (22.31 acres).
The subject site area is sufficient to allow for development and all legally permissible uses could be physically
placed on the subject without any unreasonable hindrance. As of the effective date of appraisal, the subject
property does not have utility (water or sewer) or access networks sufficient to support residential development,
although extension and development of the necessary infrastructure is physically possible. The physical nature
of the subject does not preclude any of the legally permissible uses. Based upon the physical characteristics of
this site, the legally permissible uses would be physically possible.
Financially Feasible
As long as a potential use has value commensurate with its cost and conforms to the first two tests, the use is
considered to be financially feasible.
In contemplating the feasible uses, consideration must be given to the site location, physical features of the
property and access. Many of the previously discussed factors such as lack of available roadways, utility
services, wetland mitigation and environmental issues could result in higher than normal infrastructure, planning
and construction costs for the subject as well as lengthened holding and absorption periods. These issues are
compounded by the extremely large size of the property, the distance to more centralized urban core areas, and
the regulatory and environmental challenges connected to the site.
Two possible alternative future development scenarios for the subject would be for mixed use residential
development or natural resource extraction. These uses are not mutually compatible, and development of one
use would most likely exclude the other use, at least for the reasonably foreseeable future. In terms of residential
development, although there is a certain segment of any population which desires to live in a primarily rural
environment, the majority of the population prefers more centrally located housing, closer to the urban core,
near goods and services, schools and employment. There are several new projects in the subject market area,
which have increased the amount of available inventory. The primary developments in this area consist of Ave
Maria and The Ranch at Orange Blossom. Furthermore, permitting is in place for the aforementioned Rivergrass
development. Although the most immediate physical access to the subject property at the current time is via
CR951 to Whitelake Boulevard to Blackburn Road, it appears a future access could also be north from Golden
Gate Parkway South to the subject property. However, this access would require easements or right of way
acquisitions and a significant, potential expense. Although the traditional development patterns in Collier County
have been west of the subject property, as these areas are building out, areas east of 951, namely off of
Immokalee Road, are becoming favorable to the market.
53
Considering this, the legally permissible and physically possible uses are acceptable and would not meet undue
resistance in the market; however, the most feasible use appears to be for interim hold/agricultural uses to
reduce holding costs, and continued holding for future development (2-5 years) as demand increases in Collier
County and infrastructure and access/roadway networks become more available to the site.
Maximally Productive
The highest and best use of a site is determined by the improvements that would generate the highest return to
the land. In determining the highest and best use of this property, we have considered those uses which are
legally permissible, physically possible, and financially feasible. In addition, we have considered the likelihood
of regulatory changes such as zoning or land use amendments which might be reasonably expected in the
foreseeable future. We have also considered the external conditions and timing associated with various
development scenarios available to the subject. Based upon our analysis, it is our opinion that any type of
development of the property under the current conditions would require significant investment, a lengthy time
horizon, and a very high risk. Furthermore, based upon these facts, conclusions, and opinions, we believe the
maximally productive use of the subject site is for interim agricultural use to reduce holding costs, and then
future residential and conservation uses.
54
SEC. VI: VALUATION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
There are three standard approaches to property valuation:
Cost Approach to Value
Sales Comparison Approach to Value
Income Approach to Value
Each of these three approaches usually will indicate a slightly different value. After all of the factors of the three
approaches have been carefully weighed, the indicators of value are correlated to a final opinion of value.
Cost Approach to Value
The Cost Approach to Value requires estimating the replacement cost new of the improvements, utilizing current
labor and material prices and modern construction techniques. Next, accrued depreciation is estimated and
subtracted from the cost new. Finally, the land value is added to the remainder to derive a value for the property
as a whole. The Cost Approach is most reliable when the improvements are new and the opinion of land value
can be reasonably developed. Conversely, when the improvements are older and/or adequate land sales are not
available, the Cost Approach provides a less reliable result.
Sales Comparison Approach to Value
An opinion under the Sales Comparison Approach to Value is derived by comparing the property under appraisal
with other similar properties that have sold recently. The Sales Comparison Approach is most reliable when the
comparable sales are very similar to the subject property and have occurred relatively recently. Conversely, when
large or numerous adjustments are necessary, the Sales Comparison Approach is less reliable.
Income Approach to Value
The Income Approach to Value is normally applied to commercial or income-oriented properties, since it
measures the present worth of future rights to income. The Income Approach to Value, when adequate income
and expense data are available, is often the most reliable approach in the valuation of commercial properties as
it best represents investors' and lenders' actions in the marketplace.
Approaches Developed
As the subject of this appraisal is a vacant tract of land, we have utilized the Sales Comparison Approach to
Value considering both large vacant land sales with a similar highest and best use and an analysis of
Transferrable Development Right credits. As they are not applicable to the property type, the Cost Approach and
Income Approach have not been utilized.
55
THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH TO VALUE
The Sales Comparison Approach to Value is a process of comparing sales of similar properties in the marketplace
to the subject property.
Market data, when carefully verified and analyzed, is good evidence of value because it represents the actions
and reactions of sellers, users and investors. The opinion of market value has been defined as an interpretation
of the reactions of typical users and investors in the marketplace. The Sales Comparison Approach is based
upon the principle of substitution, which states that a prudent person will not pay more to buy a property than it
would cost to buy a comparable substitute property. The price a typical purchaser pays is usually the result of
an extensive shopping process in which he/she is constantly comparing available alternatives.
The steps in the Sales Comparison Approach are:
1. Seek out similar properties for which pertinent sales and data are available.
2. Qualify the prices as to terms, motivating forces and bona fide nature.
3. Compare each of important attributes of the comparable properties with the corresponding
attributes of the property being appraised under the general division of time, location and physical
characteristics.
4. Consider all dissimilarities in terms of their probable effect upon the sale price.
5. Formulate an opinion of relative value of the property being appraised as compared with the price
of each similar property.
Source: Appraisal Institute, The Appraisal of Real Estate, 14th edition. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2013).
As previously stated, the purpose of the appraisal is to arrive at an opinion of market value of the subject
property, as if otherwise free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and/or encroachments as of the
date of appraisal of 2 April 2020. Because of the unique nature of the subject such as the large size, unique
geographical features, location, lack of utilities, access issues, etc, we have used similar properties which also
have many differing characteristics, which we have made every attempt to consider. The comparable sales will
be analyzed primarily based upon the price per acre multiplier. This is the multiplier which is most commonly
used by market participants when trading these types of properties. Because of the scarcity of sales of similar
comparability in the subject geography, we expanded the search area to include other market areas. The
selected sales would be considered the most similar sales available for comparison to the subject property,
although significant adjustments for differences in elements of comparison would be necessary. A dataset of
comparable listings will also be presented and analyzed. Comparable listings are useful in that they illustrate
the competitive properties which are available in the marketplace, and might be considered as substitute
properties by a potential buyer of the subject.
In developing an opinion of market value for the subject property via the Sales Comparison Approach, we have
analyzed the following comparable sales:

subject. This property was considered superior in terms of its location on the more developed Immokalee Road.
This property has a similar lack of utilities which would have to be extended a similar distance as needed by the
subject. The site is similar in terms of topography, environmental conditions (50% wetlands), shape, and zoning,
and little or no adjustment would be required for these elements of comparison. The final adjusted value
indication is $10,916 per acre.
Sale 2 is the May 2016 sale of a vacant parcel located on the east side of Immokalee Road in northeast Collier
County. The property sold for $38,479,500 or $14,938 per acre. After adjusting for market conditions, this sale
had an adjusted price of $16,693 per acre prior to physical adjustments. This property also required a downward
adjustment for access. The comparable property is located directly on Immokalee Road which is superior to the
subject. The property, at 2,576 acres, was significantly larger than the subject and required an upward
adjustment on a per acre basis. This property was considered similar in terms of lack of utilities which would
have to be extended a similar distance as needed by the subject. The site also benefits from ongoing mining
operations which are generating income in the interim and reducing holding costs. The parcel was purchased
with the intent of residential development, and the requirement to finish the mining permit, while beneficial in
terms of providing interim income, has also delayed the ability to redevelop the site in the near term. With that
being said, consideration is given to the interim income being generated by the sale property, and a downward
adjustment was made. The final adjusted value indication is $10,016 per acre.
Sale 3 is a property known as Edison Farms located south of Corkscrew Road with direct exposure to Interstate
75 similar to the subject. The property sold in November 2017 for $42,435,000 or $10,518 per acre. The
property has several factors which are extremely similar to the subject such as the need to extend a roadway
over one mile along with utilities. Moreover, the Edison Farms property has extensive frontage on Interstate 75.
This property was considered superior given its location with close proximity to Corkscrew Road and Interstate
75 and, as such, a downward adjustment was applied for location and access. Furthermore, an upward
adjustment for size was necessary as this property was 4,035 acres compared to the subject at 967 acres. The
Edison Farms property had wetland area greater than the subject and an upward adjustment for topography was
considered. The final adjusted value indication is $10,717 per acre.
Sale 4 is the October 2018 sale of a vacant parcel located on the south side of Immokalee Road (State Road
82) in eastern Collier County. This property sold for $1,500,000 or $7,253 per acre. After adjusting for market
conditions, this sale had an adjusted price of $7,580 per acre prior to physical adjustments. The property
required a downward adjustment for its superior location on Immokalee Road and access to said road.
Furthermore, this property was considered inferior due to its more intense wetlands compared to the subject
property. The final adjusted value indication is $7,580 per acre.
Sale 5 is the May 2019 sale of a vacant parcel located on the south side of Corkscrew Road. This property sold
for $19,500,000 or $30,564 per acre. After adjusting for market conditions, this sale had an adjusted price of
$31,405 per acre prior to physical adjustments. This property was considered to be far superior in terms of its
location in southern Lee County off of Corkscrew Road. This property was also considered to be superior due to
its frontage and access to Corkscrew Road as well as its availability of utilities and superior zoning. The final
adjusted value indication is $9,421 per acre.
Sale 6 is the October 2019 sale of a vacant parcel located along the south side of Corkscrew Road in Lee County.
This property sold for $33,000,000 or $22,603 per acre. After adjusting for market conditions, this sale had an
adjusted price of $22,942 per acre prior to physical adjustments. This sale was considered to be far superior in
terms of its location off of Corkscrew Road. Moreover, the property was considered superior due to its access
to said roadway as well as its availability to utilities and its superior MPD zoning in place. The final adjusted
value indication is $9,177 per acre.

Analysis of Comparable Data
This analysis is dependent upon adjustments to the sale prices of the comparable sales based on the following
elements of comparison outlined by The Appraisal Institute:
1. Real property rights conveyed
2. Financing terms
3. Conditions of sale
4. Expenditures made immediately after purchase
5. Market conditions
6. Location
7. Physical characteristics
8. Economic Characteristics
9. Use
10. Non-realty components of value
For ease of analysis, we have divided this list into two parts. This division is based upon the type of adjustments
made for the differences. Elements 1 – 5 are considered to be transactional adjustments, whereas elements 6
– 10 are considered to be physical adjustments.
Transactional Adjustments
There were no transactional adjustments warranted for Property Rights Conveyed, Financing Terms, Conditions
of Sale, and Expenditures Made Immediately after Purchase for these sales.
In considering Changes in Market Conditions since the time of sale, we must consider the significant changes in
the Southwest Florida real estate market. The property value trend found throughout Southwest Florida changed
drastically over the past decade, with substantial increases during the period of 2002-2005, followed by equally
substantial declines during the period of 2006-2009 and this declining trend reversed in 2012. From 2012 to
2015, increases were approximately 0.50%. This trend slowed from 2015 to current with increases but at a
slower increase. In addition, according to the Land Values 2019 Summary published by the United States
Department of Agriculture, cropland in Florida indicated a statewide increase of 2.1% from 2018-2019. On the
other end of the spectrum, Collier County median residential home prices have increased (see Market Area
Analysis). The median single-family home price increased 5.39% from February 2019 to February 2020.
Considering these benchmarks, and the highest and best use of the subject, it is our opinion that a 3.0% increase
per year would be reasonable for this analysis.
Physical Adjustments
We have considered the following specific physical adjustments to the comparable sales. A brief description of
the nature of these characteristics is provided below:
Location: Location refers to the economic attributes of the surrounding market area, drive times,
proximity to goods and services, etc. These attributes affect the financially feasible uses of the site, and
can also be one of the most significant factors affecting value and desirability. The subject property is
located in the eastern portion of Collier County in a rural area somewhat removed from most support
facilities. The comparable properties are likewise in less developed areas of either eastern Lee County
or Collier County. Sales 1, 2, and 3 are all located in eastern Collier County on Immokalee Road. These
properties, although located in a rural area of Collier County, are considered superior given the
significant development in proximity to these properties. Sales 3, 5, and 6 are located in eastern Lee
County along Corkscrew Road. Most of these properties are surrounded by residential and more
intensive commercial uses. These sales also required a downward adjustment for location.
Access/Exposure (Frontage): This refers to the exposure to the fronting thoroughfare (i.e. -
capacity/traffic count), and accessibility of a property. The subject has exposure to Interstate 75, but
no access to this highway. The subject property has limited access as of the date of valuation. It is our
66
assumption there would be access along Blackburn Road which would need to be developed at the cost
of the property owner. This roadway is one mile from the southeast corner of the subject property. We
have considered publications from the Florida Department of Transportation as well as other sources,
which indicated an approximate cost for one mile of a two lane road with 5’ paved shoulders at
$2,000,000. All of the comparable properties, with the exception of Sale 3, have direct access and
were adjusted downward. Sale 3 had a similar need to develop a roadway for access. All of the sales
were considered to be superior in terms of their overall exposure compared to the subject property.
Access: This refers to the accessibility of a property (i.e. – frontage road vs. direct frontage, existence
of median cuts, etc.). The subject property has limited access as of the date of valuation. It is our
assumption there would be access along Blackburn Road which would need to be developed at the cost
of the property owner. This roadway is one mile from the southeast corner of the subject property. We
have considered publications from the Florida Department of Transportation as well as other sources,
which indicated an approximate cost for one mile of a two lane road with 5’ paved shoulders at
$2,000,000. All of the comparable properties, with the exception of Sale 3, have direct access and
were adjusted downward. Sale 3 had a similar need to develop a roadway for access.
Size (Site Area): Larger parcels often sell for a lower price per unit, while smaller parcels typically sell
for a higher price per unit. This attribute affects the physically possible uses of the site, as well as initial
acquisition costs, capital outlays, and economies of scale. The sale properties range from a low of
206.8 acres to a high of 4,034.52 acres compared to the subject’s 967 acres. Adjustments were made
to each of the sales for size.
Topography, External, Environmental Issues, and existing use: This refers to the physical condition of
the property, such as if the property is cleared or if there are significant changes in elevation. This also
refers to any physical influences on property value. These could include negatives, such as close
proximity to a garbage disposal site, or positive, such as proximity to a beach. This could also include
site conditions that preclude and/or restrict development, such as the presence of jurisdictional
wetlands or protected species. Adjustments were necessary for Sale 2 being superior in terms of overall
wetland and topography. Sales 3 and 4 were inferior for these conditions relative to the subject.
Shape: This refers to the shape or orientation of the property which might impact the development
potential of a property. For example, a property which is a long, but relatively thin, rectangle may have
difficulty being developed due to setback requirements. All properties were similar in term of shape and
utility.
Utilities: The presence or absence of certain utilities can severally impact the physically possible uses
of a site, the second test in the analysis of Highest and Best Use (i.e. - the absence of central sewer may
prevent intensive development). This can also indicate what future expenditures will be required, which
can have an impact on how much a potential buyer would be willing to pay to acquire the land. All of
the comparable properties required significant utility extensions similar to the subject. Those properties
located along Corkscrew Road, with the exception of Sale 3, have closer availability of utilities and were
adjusted downward for superior utilities.
Zoning/Future Land Use: Zoning and Future Land Use directly determine the legally permissible uses
of a site, the first test in the analysis of Highest and Best Use. Since these governmental controls directly
influence the highest and best use, and the eventual return on investment a buyer would expect, this
characteristic can also often have a significant impact on value. A downward adjustment was applied
to Sales 5 and 6 which had superior planned developments in place.
67
Analysis of Comparable Listings
In addition to the closed sales, consideration was given to the following listings:
Value Conclusion
Due to the large size and complexity of issues associated with the subject and the date of use, many factors
were considered in the development of our opinion of value. Of primary importance were the challenges with
future access, and capital outlays, which would be required for access, extension of utilities, site development
expenses, and the holding costs during the process. These all represent significant uncertainty and risk to a
potential buyer of the property. However, the availability of potential development rights by zoning and by TDR
credits represent positive characteristics of the property. Therefore, given all of the previously presented
evidence, it is our opinion that the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property as of 2 April
2020 would be in the range of $9,000 per acre to $9,500 per acre. This value range is exhibited by the
comparable sales after transactional and physical adjustments and also within the range exhibited by the
comparable listings. It should be recognized that the properties at the upper end of the range tend to have
superior road frontage as well as entitlements for development potential. Based on this analysis, the subject
property via the Sales Comparison Approach is as follows:
Test of Reasonableness considering TDR credits
Given the unique nature of the Transferrable Development Right (TDR) program in Collier County, we have also
considered an analysis of the subject property based on sales of TDR credits. According to Collier County
Government, Growth Management Department, the 384 acres located within RFMUD-Sending has a base
density by right of 9 dwelling units (384 acres/40 units per acre = 9.6 dwelling units rounded to 9 dwelling units).
In total, including base TDRs and bonus TDRs, the sending area could potentially have 230.4 TDR credits. The
following is a breakdown of the subject lands located in the RFMUD-Sending lands along with the estimated base
density allowable:

In addition, a total of 583 acres of the subject property is located within RFMUD-Receiving Lands. According to
Collier County Government, Planning Department, the subject property has a base, allowable density of 116
units (583 acres/5 units per acre = 116.6 units rounded to 116 units). Furthermore, the property has a potential
density of 1 unit per 1 acre by maximizing TDR credits. The property could achieve 583 dwelling units by
acquiring TDR credits from Sending Lands. Moreover, if the property is developed as a Rural Village (RV), there
would be a potential for a minimum density of 1.5 dwelling units per acre up to a maximum density of 3 dwelling
units per acre. The following is a breakdown of the subject parcels located within the RFMUD-Receiving Lands
as well as the estimated potential TDRs on the subject property with and without a Rural Village:

**Acres = Acres from Collier County Property Appraiser Records
Maximum TDRs RV Minimum Density RV Medium Density RV Maximum Density
583 DUs 867 DUs 1306 DUs 1734 DUs
As shown above, there are variables which could increase or decrease the potential TDR credits but, in our
opinion, the most probable density would be a total of 583 dwelling units on the entire subject property or a
density of 1 unit per acre of Receiving Lands. Although it is possible that a greater density could be achieved,
this would require approval via a PUD (Planned Unit Development) process which would require public input and
ultimately, approval from the Collier County Board of County Commission. Approval of 583 dwelling units is a
more probable development option which is achievable with TDR credits. The most likely scenario would be the
use of the potential TDR credits from the subject’s Sending Lands. As shown above, the Sending Lands would
have a potential of 230 TDR credits broken down as 76.8 Base TDRs, 76.8 Early Entry Bonus TDRs, and 76.8
RMP (Restoration and Management Plan) Bonus TDRs. It should be noted the Base TDRs and the Early Entry
Bonus TDRs would be a relatively straight forward process which would require some expense on the part of the
property owner, but not extensive. The RMP Bonus TDRs would require an RMP for the subject property which
may be a more costly process with no guarantee of success. Albeit, in our analysis, we are considering the
69
Sending Lands of the subject to have 230 TDR credits and will value these units assuming the potential for an
RMP but no plan in place.
As estimated, the Receiving Lands have a most probable development of 583 dwelling units based on a density
of one unit per acre if TDR credits are acquired. By right, the Receiving Lands have 116 dwelling units (1 unit/
5 acres) and, therefore, the required TDR credits would be estimated as follows:
Potential Dwelling Units (DU) 583
Less: DU by right 116
Credits needed for development 467
A most likely development scenario and requirement of the Settlement Agreement would be a
transfer/acquisition of the subject’s TDR credits from the Sending Lands of 230. Assuming these potential TDR
credits are severed from the Sending Lands, the number of remaining credits needed to be acquired “off site”
would be 233 and is summarized below:
Credits needed for development 467
Less: Potential TDRs from Sending Lands 230
Credits to acquire for 583 DU 237
In order to estimate the value of the TDR credits in the Sending Lands, consideration was given to actual TDR
sales in Collier County. The sales include both Base TDR credits and Bonus TDR credits. We have also surveyed
potential TDR sellers who are listed on the “Collier County TDR Credits – Sellers List”. The Sellers interviewed
all stated that although the Base Units are required to transfer with a sale price of $25,000 per credit, the market
typically blends the cost of the Base and Bonus credits and sells both types of credits in a transaction. In our
analysis, we are estimating a blended value of the Base and Bonus credits for the subject property. The following
TDR sale transactions in Collier County were considered in the analysis:

Moreover, we have considered the Rural Fringe Mixed-Use District Restudy White Paper which states, “The Rural
Fringe Coalition combining a base TDR with a bonus TDR results in a current market average price of $13,500
per TDR.”
Considering these sources, we have estimated the value of a RFMU – Sending Lands credit at $15,000 and the
value of the credits on the receiving lands at $16,000 per credit. In this analysis, we have applied the value of
these units to our subject property in terms of the value of the potential units and the cost of the units which
would be required to be purchased to achieve the density of 583 units on the subject property. The following is
a summary of this analysis:
583 units (Receiving) @ $16,000/unit = $9,328,000
-Cost of TDR units needed (237 x $15,000/unit) = -$3,555,000
Value of Receiving Lands and Sending Land TDRs = $5,773,000
In addition to the value of the TDR credits in the Sending Lands and the value of the Receiving Lands, we must
also consider the value of the remainder or “severed” land of the Sending Lands. This property will have 384
acres which have some rights for agricultural (as existent at date of transfer of TDR), cattle grazing, passive
recreation and low density residential (1 unit/40 acres). A buyer of the subject property would consider the
value of this severed property. We have estimated the value of this component at $5,000 per acre based on the
following sales of agricultural/low density properties (complete sales data can be found in the addenda):

As shown above, prior to adjustments, these sales ranged from a low of $3,150 per acre to a high of $7,481 per
acre. The sales considered for the “Sending” lands of the subject as though severed were all sales with a highest
and best use for agricultural purposes and/or were being utilized for farming purposes. The subject land, as
though severed of TDR credits, would most likely be used for agricultural (cattle grazing), passive recreation, or
low density residential purposes. These sales, although somewhat different geographically, are good indicators
of value for these type properties.
After adjustments, the agricultural/low density sales range from $3,456 per acre to $6,539 per acre. These
sales, except for Sale 1, are all in inferior areas compared to the subject property but have characteristics such
as agricultural or low density future development that make these sale good indicators of value for the subject,
as though severed of TDR credits. After considering these sales, we estimate the market value of the 384 acres
as though severed of TDR credits to have a value of $5,000 per acre which can be shown as follows:
Site Area (Acres) Price per Acre Land Value
384 x $5,000 = $1,920,000
After considering the value of the severed/remainder property, we estimate the entire value as follows:
Value of Receiving Lands and Sending Land TDRs = $5,773,000
Plus: Value of severed land in RFMU – Sending Lands
384 acres @ $5,000/acre = $1,920,000
TOTAL INDICATED VALUE = $7,693,000
72
SEC. VII: RECONCILIATION OF OPINIONS OF VALUE
Sales Comparison Approach to Value $8,900,000
Value considering TDRs $7,693,000
In the analysis, we considered a Sales Comparison Approach utilizing sales of large properties in south Lee
County and eastern Collier County. After appropriate adjustments, we estimated a market value of $8,900,000.
Furthermore, we considered an analysis breaking down each component of the subject property by potential
development rights. We estimated a value utilizing TDR sales and concluded a value of $7,693,000.
The subject property is rather unique given its RFMU – Receiving Lands and RFMU – Sending Lands zoning, as
well as the limitations it has with regards to access and zoning. Both methods considered are believed to be
reasonable analyses of the subject property. It is our opinion that each method should be considered with the
heaviest consideration given to the per acre analysis. This type of property would most likely be acquired for a
speculative hold with future development potential. Given the potential changes which could occur with the
Rural Fringe Mixed Use District Restudy, there is uncertainty as to how this will impact properties in this area.
The TDR program in Collier County has only had limited activity as evidenced by the number of sales which have
occurred since inception. Given the lack of overall activity with this program, we have given the per acre analysis
the most weight.
Based upon the results of the analyses and data contained in the report, including any Extraordinary
Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions outlined in the Addenda, and our experience in the real estate
appraisal profession, it is our opinion that the “as is,” fee simple market value of the subject property, as of 2
April 2020, is
EIGHT MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS - $8,900,000
This value is contingent upon the certification and the assumptions and conditions of this appraisal, if any.
CONTRACTS, LISTINGS & SALES HISTORY
According to public records of Collier County, only one of the properties indicates a sale. The property described
as Folio # 00329240004 was sold in August 2019 for $67,000 which represented a price of $13,500 per acre.
This property is currently owned by HHH Investments, LTD. The listing agent stated this was a non-arms length
transaction. The entire property is currently listed for sale with LSI with a list price of $11,500,000. The property
has been listed at this price since February 2020. The property was previously under contract starting in
February 2019 at an undisclosed price. However, this contract fell through due to the lengthy timeframe
necessary to development a property such as the subject, according to the listing broker. In our opinion, the
current list price is above market indicators of value for the subject property.
73
ESTIMATION OF MARKETING TIME
Marketing time is defined by the USPAP Advisory Opinion as follows:
1. The time it takes an interest in real property to sell on the market sub-sequent to the date of an appraisal.
2. Reasonable marketing time is an estimate of the amount of time it might take to sell an interest in real
property at its estimated market value during the period immediately after the effective date of the appraisal;
the anticipated time required to expose the property to a pool of prospective purchasers and to allow
appropriate time for negotiation, the exercise of due diligence, and the consummation of a sale at a price
supportable by concurrent market conditions. Marketing time differs from exposure time, which is always
presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. (Advisory Opinion 7 of the Appraisal Standards
Board of The Appraisal Foundation and Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 6, "Reasonable Exposure
Time in Real Property and Personal Property Market Value Opinions" address the determination of
reasonable exposure and marketing time.)
Marketing time is further discussed in the Advisory Opinion referenced above as follows:
“…Marketing time occurs after the effective date of the market value opinion and the marketing time
opinion is related to, yet apart from, the appraisal process. Therefore, it is appropriate for the section
of the appraisal report that discusses marketing time and its implications to appear toward the end of
the report after the market value conclusion. The request to provide a reasonable marketing time
opinion exceeds the normal information required for the appraisal process and should be treated
separately from that process.
It is also appropriate for the appraiser to discuss the impact of price/value relationships on marketing
time and to contrast different potential prices and their associated marketing times with an appraiser’s
market value opinion for the subject property...
…Clients concerned with marketing real or personal properties who obtain a market value appraisal as
part of their decision-making process should be aware that it may be inappropriate to assume that the
value remains stable during the marketing period. Therefore, it is technically incorrect for the user of an
appraisal to take a current value opinion, carry it forward to the end of a concluded marketing period,
and then discount back to the present…”
Based upon the analysis and conclusions developed in this appraisal, the marketing time for the subject property
is estimated to be 12 to 24 months.
ESTIMATION OF EXPOSURE TIME
Inherent in an opinion of market value is the development of an estimate of exposure time for the subject
property. Exposure time is defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP),
2020/2021 Edition, as follows:
(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 the appraisal.
Based upon the analysis and conclusions developed in this appraisal, the exposure time for the subject property
is estimated to be 12 to 24 months.

RE-CERTIFICATION:

106
ASSUMPTIONS
An assumption is defined by The Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition as
follows:
“That which is taken to be true.”
Please review the following assumptions, which we have “taken to be true” about this appraisal.
This appraisal is to be used in whole and not in part. This appraisal report has been prepared at a specified
point in time as indicated by the date of valuation. Therefore, this report can neither be used prior to, or
subsequent to, the effective appraisal date. Market values and conditions change significantly with the passage
of time. This report cannot be viewed subsequent to the appraisal date and then reliance placed on values,
opinions, and analysis made by the appraiser or other consultants in the report. The forecasts or projections
included in this report are used to assist in the valuation process and are based on current market conditions,
anticipated short-term supply and demand factors, and a continued stable economy. These forecasts are
therefore subject to changes in future conditions, which cannot be accurately predicted by the appraiser and
could affect the future income and/or value forecasts.
No part of this report shall be used in conjunction with any other appraisal. The appraiser(s) herein, by reason
of this report, is not required to give testimony or attendance in court or any governmental hearing with reference
to the property appraised, unless arranged previously therefore. The consideration for the preparation of this
appraisal report is the payment by the client of all charges due the appraiser in connection therewith. Any
responsibility of the appraiser for any part of the report is conditioned upon full payment.
Neither all, nor any, part of the contents of this report shall be conveyed to the public through advertising, public
relations, news, sales or other media without the written consent and approval of the author, particularly as to
the valuation conclusion, the identity of the appraiser or firm with which he is connected, or any reference to any
professional organization of which the appraiser may be a member.
The property has been appraised as if free and clear, unencumbered by mortgages, liens, delinquent taxes,
assessments, special or unusual deed conditions or restrictions, but subject to zoning regulations. An
investigation, but no record search, has been made.
All comparable data utilized are confirmed by Costar Group, Inc., the Local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), parties
related to the sale, and/or public records. The data used in compiling this report was secured from sources
considered reliable and authentic and, so far as possible, was verified. However, no responsibility is assumed
for its accuracy or correctness.
Unless otherwise noted, no survey or plans were requested or provided and information regarding the subject
property has been gathered from the appropriate public records. It is assumed that the legal descriptions, site
sizes and boundaries utilized are correct, that the improvements (if applicable) are entirely and correctly located
on the property described, and that there are no encroachments or overlapping boundaries. Unless stated
otherwise, legal access to the property is assumed. Marketable title, but not responsibility as to legal matters, is
assumed. This appraisal is subject to a current survey and title search.
It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations
and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report and it is further
assumed that all applicable zoning, land use regulations and restrictions have been complied with, unless a
nonconformity has been stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report.
This appraisal is subject to all growth management ordinances (i.e. concurrency) both local and state. The
appraiser has relied upon representations made by the developer, client or authorities considered to be
knowledgeable in this regard. A determination was not made by the appraiser as to the development potential
for the property, unless otherwise stated.
107
Unless otherwise noted, we were not provided with a title search, and we have assumed that the subject property
has a unified title, or in absentia, that the right of entry is barred for oil, gas, and mineral rights holders. We have
further assumed that no off-site subsurface exploration or extraction activities are occurring, or have occurred,
which would have an impact on the subsurface elements of the property, or which would adversely affect the
value of the property. No consideration was given within this appraisal as to the time or expense (if any) which
would be required to determine or obtain unified title or bar the right of entry. Should this assumption regarding
unified title later prove to be false, this could alter the opinions and conclusions contained herein.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective on February 26, 1992. The appraiser has not made
a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine if it is in conformity with the various
detailed requirements of the ADA. As the appraiser has no direct evidence relating to this issue, possible
noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property has not been considered.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS / HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
Please see the Scope of Work for further details.
