LRE: APPRAISAL OF LAKE AVENUE S. VACATION LOCATED AT LAKE AVENUE
S. BETWEEN S. 2ND & S. 3RD STREETS IN RENTON, WASHINGTON
L(File #15329)
Dear Mr. Boyns: L
In response to your request, we have completed an appraisal of the Lake Avenue S.
Vacation between S. 2nd & S. 3rd Streets in Renton, Washington. The purpose of
l the report is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject
L, property for the purpose of vacating the street to the owners of abutting parcels. In
accordance with State law, our valuation assumes the subject is an economic unit,
which effectively disregards the disadvantage of its highly irregular shape.
However, our analysis takes into account the easements the City will retain to
maintain existing underground utility lines for sanitary sewer, water, and storm
drainage.
We value the subject by first comparing it with six sales of similar commercial
parcels, under the assumption that the subject would not be encumbered by utility
line easements. The overall lack of sale comparables forced us to go back in time as
far as 1990 to find comparables. Nevertheless, because one of the comparables
involved an adjacent parcel, and because the sales logically bracket this sale price, we
L believe the comparable data adequately portray a range in which subject value falls.
We conclude an unencumbered subject would have a value of $11.25 per square foot.
We believe a discount for the easement lines of 20% is significant enough to
L. recognize the prohibition on structures that the easements would cause. This brings
our fee simple value estimate recognizing the easements to $9.00 per square foot.
This appraisal was made in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and is intended to conform with FIRREA regulations
and with the appraisal standards of the entity requesting this appraisal. Complete

is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a
compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of
the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the
requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the
property. Since we have no direct evidence relating to this issue, we did not consider possible
non-compliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property.

PART I - INTRODUCTION
Identification of the Subject Property
The subject consists of the undeveloped section of Lake Avenue between 2nd and 3rd
Avenues S., just east of Rainier Avenue S. in Renton. The street is unimproved
except for some paved area close to 3rd Avenue S. The City of Renton intends to
vacate this segment of Lake Avenue to adjoining property owners.
Legal Description
A complete metes and bounds description of the subject is reproduced as an
addendum to this report.
History and Ownership
The City of Renton has owned the subject property for at least the past 5 years. No
sale transactions involving the subject have occurred during that time.
Date of InsgectionNaluation
The subject property was inspected on December 19, 1995, and subsequent dates.
The effective date of this appraisal is December 20, 1995.
Purpose of the Appraisal
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the fee simple
interest in the subject property as of December 20, 1995. Market value is defined as:'
The most probable price which 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:
1. buyer and seller are typically motivated.
2. both parties are well-informed or well-advised and acting in what they consider
their best interests,

u
3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market,•
4. payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of
financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
,1 special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated
tl with the sale.
Iu Property Rights Appraised
L This appraisal sets forth the estimated value of the fee simple interest. Fee simple
l interest is defined as:2
IThe maximum possible estate one can possess in real property. A fee simple estate is the
least limited interest and the most complete and absolute ownership in land, it is of
indefinite duration, freely transferrable, and inheritable. Fee simple title is sometimes
I referred to as 'the fee." All other estates may be created from it, which means that all
+ other estates must be something less than fee simple (such as life estates, leaseholds, etc.).
Any limitations that exist on the control and use of the land held in fee do not result from
f the nature of the estate itself but are the result of the limitations of Eminent Domain,
I L escheat, police power, and taxation.
Scope of the Appraisal
As vacant land, the subject is appropriately valued using only the Sales Comparison
Approach. Consequently, data was collected on comparable sales of land. In
appraising the subject property, the following was done:
Researched Washington Real Estate Register and COMPS, Inc.;
Researched Bruce C. Allen & Associate's existing data bank;
�- — Confirmed all land sales with buyers, selling agents, and/or public records;
Inspected all comparable sales; and
Reviewed all documents as cited throughout this report.

Neighborhood Description
The subject is located at the western edge of the central business district (CBD) of
the City of Renton.
Renton is King County's fourth largest city and is well served by a major airport, an
interstate freeway system, and several major state highways. When Renton was first
incorporated in 1901, the city was only 1 square mile in size. The expansion was
achieved mostly through annexations of adjacent and nearby areas. During 1949 to
1969, 10.8 square miles were added to the city -- 67% of its present territory. This
growth was fueled by people migrating to the area to work in the booming wartime
industries in Renton. PACCAR. and Boeing were the primary employers as they
manufactured Sherman tanks and war planes. In the 1940s, population exploded
from 4,488 to 16,039 persons.
In the decades following the 1949-1969 period, expansion has occurred slowly, and
the city has gained only about 1.9 square miles to arrive at the current size of 16.1
square miles. The 1994 population of Renton is 43,970, making it the fourth largest
city in King County, behind Seattle, Bellevue, and Federal Way, respectively. An
additional 60,000 people live in the unincorporated area surrounding the city.
Between 1980 and 1992 the City of Renton annexed 840.9 acres of land, adding 509
people and 207 houses to its population.3 From 1990 to 1994 Renton's population
changed from 41,688 to 43,970, for an annual average change of 1.4%. This is similar
to other areas of King County.
Transportation
The city of Renton is situated at the south end of Lake Washington and provides
access around the lake through its regional transportation network. One interstate
highway and three state highways run through the city.
Interstate 5 (I-5) -- the major north/south highway in the state which gives access to
Seattle, Canada, and Portland -- lies approximately 2 miles west of downtown
Renton. Interstate 405 (I-405) branches off from I-5 and runs in an east/west
direction for 2 miles before turning in a north/south direction along the east side of
3Source: Washington State Office of Financial Management.
Bruce C. Allen & Associates, Inc.
15329MH - January 5, 1996 4 Complete/Self-Contained
Lake Washington through the cities of Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Bothell,
where it subsequently rejoins I-5. State Route 167 (SR-167) runs south from I-405
through the cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn, and Tacoma. SR-167 is also known as
the East Valley Freeway as it is located along the eastern edge of the Green River
Valley. The subject property thus has excellent access to major transportation
routes. I-405 is just south of the subject with an interchange at Rainier Avenue S.
Because of Renton's location in the region and its own industrial, commercial, and
other types of employment centers, freeways and arterials in the city get heavily
congested during peak hours.
In an effort to improve traffic flow in the city and to upgrade the street capacity in
general, the city maintains a multiple -year transportation improvement program
which includes constructing new streets as well as rehabilitating existing ones. In
1988, the City of Renton initiated a per capita business fee, which charged businesses
based on the number of employees. This fee has been used to fund street projects
that are high -priority for the business community.
I-405 has been one of the major sources of traffic congestion in Renton. Major
construction for widening I-405 to six lanes, including one lane in each direction for
the exclusive use of carpools, buses, and motorcycles, was completed in the vicinity of
the subject, including construction of on- and off -ramps. Widening of I-405 has
relieved some of the local traffic congestion within the city as well.
General transportation facilities to the city of Renton include rail service provided by
Burlington Northern and truck service provided by all major truck lines operating in
the Puget Sound area. Seattle -Tacoma International Airport and Boeing Field
International are located approximately 6 miles from Renton, providing complete air
service.
In addition to these regional airports, the city of Renton has two adjacent
airports -- one for general aviation, and the other, the 'Will Rogers -Wiley Post
Seaplane Base" for seaplanes. The municipal airport provides regional and local non-
commercial aviation services for corporate and recreational aviation. The Boeing
Company leases 70% of the general aviation airport space and uses it for airplane
production -related purposes.

L
LLand Use
The existing land use pattern of the City of Renton reflects 100 years of settlement
and expansion. The original city was settled in the broad flood plains at the
confluence of the Cedar and Black Rivers, along the shore of Lake Washington. This
` area continues to be the heart of Renton with its mix of heavy industrial uses and
t the airport along Lake Washington, the Central Business District at the foot of
Renton Hill, all interspersed with older single-family housing mixed with small
1. apartment complexes.
Surrounding the original settlement are the residential areas on the hills and
plateaus, much of which was originally developed in the county and annexed into the
city. Single-family residential neighborhoods are concentrated in the Highlands,
Kennydale Hill, West Hill, Earlington Hill, Talbot Hill, Sierra Heights, President
{ Park, and along the ridges along Maple Valley. Along the edges of the single-family
1 neighborhoods and along the transportation corridors are concentrations of
multifamily housing. Significant concentrations exist along NE 4th Street, Sunset
L Boulevard NE, SW Sunset Boulevard, and Benson Road S.
In addition to the Central Business District, commercial areas are concentrated along
the major arterials and freeway exchanges including Rainier Avenue, Grady Way,
Sunset Highway, Bronson Avenue, NE 4th, the NE 44th Street exit, and SW 43rd
Street.
I The Green River Valley was annexed to Renton in the late 1950s with the intention
L of developing a second industrial base. This area, which was originally the northern
end of a long farming belt along the Green River, now includes a few residual houses
�- and a significant concentration of manufacturing, warehousing, and office park
development. A node of commercial services is located in the southeast corner of the
Valley.
Valley Medical Center dominates the land uses along the southern portion of Talbot
Hill. Surrounding the hospital is a concentration of support facilities including
medical and dental offices and laboratories.

LEconomic Development - Boeing
During World War II, the Boeing Company's decision in 1940 to build a new plant at
the south end of Lake Washington to produce B-17 bombers and new flying boats
changed the city of Renton more than any other event in recent history. From a
relatively small town of about 4,500 people in 1940, Renton became a large industrial
center of the Puget Sound region, with a population of 16,039 in 1950. Today, the
1,
Boeing Company is involved in producing commercial airplanes (737s, 747s, 757s,
767s, and 777s), as well as various military and space programs. Renton is the home
Lof Boeing Commercial Airplane Group's world headquarters. Each month 15 new
737 and 757 planes take their maiden flights from the Renton Municipal Airport.
Boeing's recent purchase of the Longacres Race Track for future construction of a
L multibuilding facility demonstrates the company's commitment to the Renton area.
LThe flight training center completed in 1994 trains 777 pilots from all over the world.
According to Renton's recently published (February 1995) Comprehensive Plan,
Renton continues to be an important center of employment providing over 45,000
L jobs. Most of the people work for the Boeing Company or PACCAR, which continue
to be major players in the local and regional economy. As discussed above, the air
L- transportation industry is the leading job provider, followed by business and medical
services. By comparison, the trucking and warehousing businesses are not a major
L source of employment. The following chart summarizes the top 10 employers in the

f l The chart clearly illustrates the dependence of Renton's job base on the Boeing
U Company. As Boeing impacts Renton more than any other employer, the company's
activities are important to the local economy.
In 1990, the Boeing Company purchased the 212-acre Longacres horse racing track
la near Southcenter, to the southwest of the subject property, south of I-405. It intends
to construct a new world headquarters campus containing as much as 2.5 million
square feet of predominantly office space in 15 buildings. The campus will house as
many as 10,000 workers when fully built out.
For many years the Boeing Company's policy was to lease office space generally for 5
years in order to maintain staffing flexibility. In the late 1980s this policy was
changed as demonstrated by the company's decision to acquire the Longacres site
and to build a 1.2-million-square-foot addition to the Everett facility. In late 1992,
due to airplane order deferments, the company announced manufacturing
employment cutbacks that would take effect over the next year. The production
cutbacks, in combination with the desire for consolidation fulfilled by the completion
of the major construction in Everett, have led to an abandonment of 760,000 square
feet of space to date in the South End area alone.
Over the short term, then, Renton's Boeing employment has decreased during this
shifting/transitional phase; however, as construction occurs at the Longacres site,
employment in the immediate area will rise accordingly. Meanwhile, the other
L non -Boeing aspects of Renton employment are growing, most notably in health care
with the recent addition to the Valley Medical Center, and in retail, particularly new
Lauto dealerships. Effects on the local economy such as retail sales are not yet
apparent as the Boeing move -outs are so recent.
Immediate Nei¢hborhood
The subject is located at the western edge of the Renton CBD, on the east side of
Rainier Avenue and extending from S. 2nd to S. 3rd Street.
The subject abuts several tax parcels in eight ownerships. On the west side and
fronting Rainier Avenue are two fast food restaurants, Taco Time and Wendy's

LHamburgers, a Renton Subaru auto sales lot, and two vacant parcels. On the east
Lside is land owned by First Interstate Bank and a small retail building occupied by
Custom Picture Frame. In addition, a Safeway store, scheduled for reconstruction,
occupies the parcel on the east side of First Interstate's corridor of land and fronting
2nd Street.
Commercial development activity in downtown Renton can best be described as most
active along the arterials at its periphery but relatively inactive within those
boundaries. To a large extent this is due traffic circulation, which is cumbersome
within downtown but robust on the peripheral arterials, especially Rainier Avenue
on the east side, Grady Way on the south side, and Bronson Way/Sunset Boulevard
L on the east side. These streets are nearly always busy, especially with traffic to and
Lfrom I-405.
The center of downtown is occupied by the mostly older commercial buildings
comprising the traditional Renton business district. These are generally surrounded
by residential neighborhoods to the west and northwest mixed with older
commercial buildings. Larger landmarks include the Renton Airport and the Boeing
Plant on the north side of downtown, Paccar's Kenworth plant and large industrial
tract on the northeast side, Renton Memorial Stadium south of the Boeing Plant,
and Renton High School, located on S. 2nd Street south of the airport.
In the subject's immediate vicinity, commercial redevelopment consists of the
gradual change of the face of Rainier Avenue from I-405 northward past the airport.
L, In recent years Fred Meyer has remodeled its store and shops at Renton Center at
the southwest corner of Rainier Avenue and S. 3rd Street.
Property acquisitions by auto dealerships have occurred in recent years near the
intersection of Rainier Avenue and Grady Way, traditionally an auto sales area and
` now designated by the City as a regional auto mall, with special zoning
characteristics. In fact, the City recently purchased the downtown sites of Good
Chevrolet to permit that business's move to the auto mall area.
Along Rainier Avenue some property owners have redeveloped their sites by
removing buildings to make way for fast food restaurants and other businesses,
Bruce C. Allen & Associates, Inc.

which seek the advantage of frontage on this heavily traveled arterial. Newer
buildings include Taco Time, McDonald's, and Wendy's.
The vacation of Lake Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets was prompted in large
part by Safeway's plans to rebuild its property just east of the subject. That plan
calls for demolition of the Safeway store and the adjacent bookstore building and the
construction of a larger Safeway store and a building of retail shops.

PART II - FACTUAL DATA
Description of the Subject Property
Site
The subject is flat, irregularly shaped (see Site Plan), and 35,804.8 square feet in
size.
Access
The subject can be accessed from both 2nd and 3rd Streets as well as from the
parcels adjacent to it.
Soils
No results of a soils test have been provided for our review. However, judging from
the presence of commercial buildings on other nearby parcels, we assume that the
soils making up the subject site have sufficient load -bearing capacity to support
commercial improvements indefinitely.
We have not been informed of whether the site has been tested for the presence of
hazardous materials. This report assumes no hazardous materials are present.
Utilities
All are available, including sanitary sewer, water, electrical power, natural gas,
refuse disposal, telephone, and cable television.
Zonin
Until the City's adoption of its new zoning code, the subject was zoned B-1, Business,
a general commercial designation. Now it is zoned CA, Arterial Commercial, the
purpose of which, according to the zoning code, is "to provide suitable environments
for strip commercial development" and "provides for a wide variety of retail sales and
personal/professional services primarily oriented to automobile traffic along
designated major arterial streets."

Permitted outright in CA zones are a lengthy list of commercial uses organized under
the headings Retail and Services.
Permitted as "secondary" uses subject to conditions are places of adult
entertainment, multifamily residences (up to 20 units per acre), professional and
business services, furniture and home appliance sales, parking lots, research and
development buildings, medical facilities, gas stations, rental services, schools and
studios for art, dance and music, and elementary and secondary schools.
A number of uses are permitted as accessory, or incidental to a permitted primary or
secondary use, and as conditional uses requiring a hearing examiner's review.
Typical development standards include:
— A building height limit of 50 feet (less adjacent to a residential zone, greater
with a conditional use permit).
— Front yard setbacks of 0 to 15 feet for buildings less than 25 feet high, 15
feet or greater for taller buildings.
— Lot coverage of 65% of total lot area (up to 75% if parking is provided within
the building or within a parking garage).
— landscaping strips at least 15 feet wide along public streets.
— minimum lot line of 15 feet along public streets.
The CA zones in the designated regional auto mall carry special exceptions to
regulations governing CA zones. In this area -- bound by Grady Way, Rainier
Avenue, I-405, and Lind Avenue, called Area A, and by Grady Way, Shattuck Avenue,
the railroad right-of-way, and the CA boundary east of Lind Avenue called Area
B -- primary uses are auto, motorcycle and passenger truck sales, while secondary
uses are licensing bureaus, car rentals, public parking, or other uses that directly
support dealerships.
Assessed Value and Real Estate Taxes
As publicly owned property, the subject pays no property taxes but nevertheless is
assessed as follows:

The subject and the adjacent properties are taxed under levy code 2100, for which
the 1995 tax rate is $13.80797 per $1,000 of assessed value. The preliminary 1996
rate is $14.07, a 1.9% increase over 1995.
Description of Improvements
The subject appears unimproved except for some paving improvements along its
southern half. In addition, a portion of the Custom Picture Frame shop may extend
onto the subject. These improvements were constructed by adjacent property
owners and hence belong to those tax parcels. Therefore, their value does not
contribute to subject value.

L PART III - HIGHEST AND BEST USE
L
Highest and best use is defined as:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the
' 1 highest value.
L As If Vacant
An analysis of the highest and best use of the subject site as vacant must consider
L uses that are 1) physically possible, 2) legally permissible, 3) financially feasible, and
4) maximally productive.
L
L.
Physically, the subject is about 0.8 acres in size. But its shape is, of course, long,
narrow, and curved. The fact that this shape is wholly inappropriate for a
stand-alone commercial use is irrelevant, because Washington state law requires
that street vacations be appraised as economic units. Therefore, the site's physical
constraints do not lower value.
Legally permissible uses are itemized by the City's definition of the CA zoning
designation, which permits retail commercial uses. These are clearly maximally
productive, based on the uses of the adjacent parcels, and financially feasible, as
evidenced by Safeway's planned redevelopment of its site next door.
However, although the City will vacate the subject, it will retain easements for three
existing utility lines, sanitary sewer, water, and storm drainage. These easements
effectively will prohibit the placement of structure on much of subject area and
thereby will lower its value in comparison with an unencumbered subject.
As Improved
The subject improvements amount to nothing more than asphalt paving. The value
of the property as if vacant certainly exceeds or equals any value as improved.
Therefore, the highest and best use as improved remains the same as that as if
vacant.

Comparable Land Sales Map
Bruce C. Allen & Associates,
PART IV - ANALYSES AND CONCLUSIONS TO VALUE
Valuation
Approaches Used in the Valuation Process - As vacant land, the subject is
appropriately valued using only the Sales Comparison Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach to Value entails comparing the subject
property with comparable commercial land that has sold recently. We employ the
comparison process to establish subject value assuming it is unencumbered by
easements. In a final step, we estimate an appropriate discount for the utility
easements.
Sales Comparison Approach to Value
To value the subject, comparable sales of vacant commercial parcels are described
and analyzed to arrive at an estimated market value for the subject. The process
involves adjusting the comparable prices upward and downward to the subject to
account for differences between them.
The following table summarizes the comparable sales, and each comparable property
is described in greater detail on the pages that follow.

L All of the comparables were zoned B-1, Business, when they were sold. Under
Renton's new zoning, the most important comparables are now zoned CA, as is the
L" subject, while the downtown comparables carry CD, Downtown Commercial,
designations. Any differences in zoning are far outweighed by differences in location,
giving zoning little weight in indicating subject value.
Sale 1 is the most important indicator of subject value. It involves the First
LInterstate Bank ownership that abuts the subject's east side. The buyer eyed this as
the site of a future bank branch -- the existing one is just across 3rd Street to the
south -- and liked the fact that this site both fronted 3rd Street and had access to and
from 2nd Street.
LThis is the only parcel in the subject's immediate vicinity to sell in the past 5 years.
The only other transactions involve Safeway's current assembling of nearby land for
its planned new store. Safeway's representative declined to reveal either the
owner/sellers he had contacted or the option prices he had negotiated, but he did
indicate his negotiations were guided by this comparable sale. He also confirmed the
option prices fall in the range of $10.00 to $15.00 per square foot.
`- Sale 2 is the City of Renton's acquisition of the Good Chevrolet site downtown. The
L purchase makes possible Good's move to the vicinity of Rainier Avenue and Grady
Way, a few blocks south of the subject and the City's designated auto mall. The City
has no immediate plans for this acquisition, and the purchase qualifies as a policy
move by the City toward shaping the future of downtown.
LThe sale price, based on appraisals, applies to the actual CBD, whereas the subject's
vicinity, associated with the more active retail development of Rainier Avenue, is
locationally different. Comparatively speaking, the CBD's appeal is more limited,
L due to the predominance there of small businesses in outdated structures, which
generally serve as cash cows for their longtime owners. This situation inhibits any
LJ inclination to redevelop, consequently making land values for the most part lower
than in the subject's immediate vicinity. Hence, despite the subject's smaller size,
1.. we would expect the subject to sell for more per square foot than this comparable.
Bruce C. Allen & Associates,
15329MH- January 5, 1996 16 Complete/Self-Contained
l: Sale 3 is another downtown site, albeit a peripheral one. This was the former
Llocation of two single-family residences and was purchased as expansion area for the
Renton Family Practice Center, which owns most of the block. While the zoning and
the contemplated use are commercial, the immediate area, except for the clinic
building, consists of older single-family residences, making this location one where
the slow commercial expansion of downtown over the years has not quite penetrated
u the residential neighborhood around it. This is the lowest comparable unit price,
and the location's inferiority to the subject's much more active one defines this price
as lower than the subject's.
Sale 4 is the site of a new gas station on the south side of the CBD, close to the auto
L mall area along Grady Way and near other commercial improvements there,
including the Renton Village Shopping Center with multiplex movie theater. As a
corner location at two arterial streets, the site is decidedly superior to the subject.
Sale 5 consists of two transactions involving the site of Mathewson's Automotive, an
auto repair shop. Mathewson Automotive's current owner, Brent Kranz, bought the
business from Ross Mathewson in 1985.
Sale 5a involves Kranz' 1990 purchase of the gas station that housed the business.
Kranz had planned the new building now standing there but soon realized the
location was not feasible without expansion for parking. He persuaded Mathewson
to become a partner in buying the parcel next door to the south, described here as
Sale 5b (Kranz later bought out Mathewson's share).
Our sale descriptions indicate unit sale prices based on parcel sizes indicated in the
L county assessor's current records. However, Assessor's records at the times of sale
show slightly different parcel sizes which produce unit prices of $11.51 and $11.54 for
Sales 5a and 5b, respectively. Nevertheless, Kranz recalls Sale 5b's area being the
16,670 square feet shown on our table.
We note also that Sale 5a's unit price might be slightly higher, since both buyer and
seller shared the cost of demolition and tank removal. However, the buyer indicated
this cost was small, definitely less than $5,000. Therefore, demolition cost's impact
on land acquisition price would not be significant.
Bruce C. Allen & Associates, Inc.
V 15329MH - January 5, 1996 17 Complete/Self-Contained
This location fronts both Rainier Avenue and Nelson Place, the side street that runs
Lalong the comparables' west side; furthermore, Rainier Avenue's intersection with
Airport Way is just few hundred feet to the south. This makes the comparables'
visibility and access superior to the subject's.
Analysis and Conclusion
l The comparable sales form the range of $8.39 to $13.78 per square foot. Our
discussion of the sales concluded that the subject is inferior to Sales 4 and 5, superior
L to Sales 2 and 3, and comparable to Sale 1. These observations shrink the range to
$9.36 to $11.58, as indicated by Sales 2 and 5.
The sales go back in time as far as 5 years, and our selection of older comparables
was forced by the relative lack of commercial land sales activity in the subject's
neighborhood. Because some of the sales are relatively old, one questions whether
price appreciation has occurred over time.
In the region generally, real estate prices have held fairly steady since the last wave
of price appreciation ended in mid-1990. Meanwhile, the land market for some
property types, especially branch banks, are influenced by special needs for location,
L_ visibility, and access that result in their selling near the upper end of their respective
locations' market ranges (fast food restaurants and gas stations have similar
requirements).
First Interstate knew it was paying top dollar for Sale 1 at the time but felt location,
visibility, and access made that site worth it. Whether it would pay more today is
probably best indicated by the option prices Safeway has negotiated for its planned
L expansion. The only information available to us about those options does not define
the subject's value range more precisely than do the comparables.
We conclude that the prices indicated by the comparable sales do not indicate
significant value appreciation for land in the subject's vicinity. They do, on the other
hand, portray a climate of redevelopment in which demand could drive prices higher.
Nevertheless, we feel the subject's current market value is best indicated by Sale 1's
price of $11.08. Giving the subject a small mark-up for smaller parcel size, we
Bruce C. Allen & Associates, Inc
L, 15329MH- January 5, 1996 18 Complete/Self-Contained
conclude a value estimate -- assuming a subject is an economic unit unencumbered by
easements -- of $11.25 is appropriate.
Discount for Easements
The presence of easements for water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage utility lines
makes the subject is simply worth less than it would be without these encumbrances.
They prevent the placement of buildings on much of the subject's area, limiting its
use to parking and other supporting development features.
The easements do not prevent the subject area from contributing to the building
density of the parcels of which they are a part. Furthermore, because the lines are
underground, the surface area can be used in any way except to support structures
and thereby is far less restricted than by, say, a sidewalk or landscape easement.
Therefore, we would estimate the discount at significantly less than 50% of
unencumbered value.
On the other hand, the prohibition against structures in our view calls for a discount
that must be considered significant. We conclude a discount of 20% from
unencumbered value is appropriate. This would place our value estimate with
easements at 80% of $11.25, or $9.00 per square foot.
For the 35,804.8-square-foot subject, this indicates an estimated value for the subject
as an economic unit and assuming easements for utility lines of $322,243, rounded to
$320,000.
