With that change the City’s tax rate would not deviate from the prior year. Mayor Adams opened the public hearing, hearing none and having received no public comment in writing Mayor Adams closed the public hearing.

of 3

finalize the plan and approve an ordinance adopting the tax abatement program.

11) Mayor Adams asked Administrator Anderson to present the discussion regarding the contract for collection and hauling of solid waste and recyclables. Anderson explained that in May the contract with Waste Connections would be up and wanted direction from the Council about if the contract should be put out to bid or if they wanted to make changes to the service. Anderson noted that garbage rates have been held constant since 2009 and that an increase in garbage rates may be necessary. The Council directed Anderson to discuss a renewal with Waste Connections and to bring back alternatives to mitigate any potential rate increases.

12) Staff/Council Reports

Veenstra reported on some zoning issues that the Planning and Zoning Commission is working through. Veenstra also reported on the status of the water treatment plant project.

City of Van Meter, Iowa City Council Minutes – 04-06-2017

1) The Van Meter City Council met for a work session on Thursday, April 06, 2017 at the Veterans Reception Center. Mayor Allan Adams called the meeting to order at 6:01PM. The following council members were present upon roll call: Kim Sacker, Mike Peterson, Owen Stump, Lyn Lyon, and Adam Lamoureux. Staff present: City Administrator Jake Anderson and Erik Fisk.

2) Mayor Adams asked for a motion to approve the agenda. Moved by Peterson supported by Sacker. Passed

unanimously

3) Mayor Adams and the City Council discussed city facilities. The majority of the discussion focused on what the Council would be willing to do to move the public library. In general, it was understood that public safety needs additional space and the logical way for them to expand is to take over all of the real-estate at 505 Grant Street. The Council asked the Mayor to discuss the prospect of moving with the Library Board. Mayor Adams asked for some consensus on a funding pledge and time tables. The Council generally expressed that if the Library Board crafted a plan within the next few months and began executing it by the end of calendar year 2017 then the Council would match up to $125,000 for a library project if it could be completed in 2 years. The City Council underscored how very important it is for them to see progress toward a facility project if they are going to continue to invest in the public library and its services.

4) Anderson reported on discussions with Jack Inman of Crestview Estates No 1 LLC regarding the development agreement for Crestview. Anderson explained that Inman asked for an extension of TIF payments and would also like tax abatement to apply to the development. Anderson noted that he would be discussing the matter with the City’s bond attorney and would report back to the Council as a recommendation takes shape. Mayor Adams reported on discussions with CentruyLink about how broadband can be improved in Van Meter noting that 7mbps is the best available download speed in Crestview. Anderson also explained that the City should consider paying for conduit to be put in the ground when work is done in the right-of-way to save on the future expense of installing City fiber. Concepts are also being weighed that would amend the City’s subdivision ordinance to require conduit for telecommunications. Lyon discussed having conversations with the HOA and developers of Hickory Lodge regarding voluntary annexation once the City’s tax abatement program is finalized.

5) There were no other report and non-action discussion items.

6) Having no further business Mayor Adams asked for a motion to adjourn. Moved by Sacker supported by Stump. Passed unanimously.

Dear Mr. Anderson:

Re: Value Finding Appraisal of Wahlert Parcel, Located along Main Street, Van Meter, Iowa.

As you requested, we have on March 15, 2017, viewed the above referenced property. A de-scription of the parent tract is included in the Summary of Salient Data Section of the accompa-nying report. We have included an acquisition map in the report that identifies the proposed ac-quisition.

The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the difference in the fair market value of the fee sim-ple estate, and of the separate property ownership or tenant interests, if applicable, in the proper-ty immediately before and immediately after the proposed acquisition for project improvement purposes. The estimate of market value, before acquisition, assumes the price paid for the prop-erty is not affected by any knowledge of the proposed project. “Fair Market Value” is defined in the Summary of Salient Data Section of the accompanying report. The appraisal is to be used for acquisition purposes. The intended user is the City of Van Meter and its representatives.

The appraisal is prepared in compliance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Prop-erty Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended, in accordance with Part 24 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. It is made in conformance to the guidelines of the Uniform Stand-ards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the Appraisal Institute’s Code of Ethics. However, Jurisdictional Exception is taken if USPAP is in conflict with the Uniform Relocation Act.

Mr. Jake Anderson March 28, 2017 Page 2

Value Conclusions Based on the data and judgments contained in this appraisal, we conclude that the difference in the market value of the fee simple estate in the subject property, immediately before and immediately after the proposed acquisition, as of March 15, 2017, is: $43,200.

Just Compensation $43,200.

It has been a pleasure providing appraisal services to you. If you should have any questions regarding the derivation of just compensation, please feel free to contact us at your conven-ience.

Respectfully submitted,

SUMMARY OF SALIENT DATA

Property Identification - Parent Tract The parent tract consists of a 52.53-acre tract of land improved with a house and associated site improvements. A legal description for the property, as obtained from public assessment records, is as follows:

Lot 2, Trails End Plat 1, an Official Plat, Van Meter, Dallas County, Iowa

The property is also identified on the maps included in this report.

Proposed Acquisition The City of Van Meter proposes to acquire fee title to 121,532 square feet (2.79 acres).

A map and description of the proposed acquisition is included in this report.

Ownership & Sales History According to public records, the owner is Michael J. Wahlert per a real estate contract rec-orded in Book 2012, Page 7081 of the Dallas County Recorder’s Office. The contract was dated July 15, 2010 and transferred ownership from William C. Knapp. The contract had a total sale price of $481,903 with $85,000 down (18%) and the remaining balance at 6% per year for 7 years. We are not aware of any other transfers of ownership during the past five years. The property is not listed for sale.

Occupancy The north portion of the property (17.58 acres) is leased to Ron Gebhardt for agricultural purposes. The south portion of the property is owner-occupied and improved with a single-family home and associated improvements.

Assessed Value According to the Dallas County Assessor’s Office, the property is identified and assessed value as follows.

Parcel Acres Land Improvements Total 15-27-200-019 17.58 $39,580 $0 $39,580 15-27-200-020 34.95 $35,880 $140,000 175880 Total 52.53 $75,460 $140,000 $215,460

Purpose of the Appraisal The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the difference in the fair market value of the fee simple estate, and of the separate property ownership or tenant interests, if applicable, in the property immediately before and immediately after the proposed acquisition for project im-provement purposes. The estimate of market value, before acquisition, assumes the price paid for the property is not affected by any knowledge of the proposed project. The apprais-


2

al is to be used for acquisition purposes. The intended user is the City of Van Meter and its representatives.

Scope of Work The appraisal is to be used to estimate just compensation for acquisition purposes related to the proposed project.

The scope of work for this assignment included an inspection of the subject property, re-viewing public record information concerning the subject and other properties in its imme-diate neighborhood, reviewing construction plans associated with this project, and searching for sales of properties similar to the subject. The interior of buildings, if present, were not inspected by the appraiser. The property owner or representative was contacted and offered an opportunity to inspect the property with the appraiser.

A sales comparison approach was completed to estimate the market value of the land. All comparable sales used in the appraisal were inspected by the appraiser or an employee of Commercial Appraisers of Iowa, Inc. The sales were verified by interviewing the grantor, grantee, and/or through public records. The comparable sales applied in the analyses are described in detail on the data sheets included in the addendum to this report.

The estimate of just compensation was estimated by completing a value finding appraisal report. The just compensation in a value finding appraisal is intended to reflect the differ-ence between the before and after values. The estimate of just compensation is the diminu-tion in value as a result of the proposed acquisition.

The scope of this assignment includes apportioning the value of the acquisition between any parties that may have an interest, if applicable.

Definition of Fair Market Value The term “fair and reasonable market value” means the cash price which would be arrived at as between a voluntary seller, willing but not compelled to sell, and a voluntary purchaser willing, but not compelled to buy. It assumes a buyer and seller are bargaining freely, in the open market for the purchase and sale of the real estate in question.

The term does not mean a value under circumstances where greater than its fair price could be obtained, nor does it mean the price which the property would bring at a forced sale. It does not mean what the property is worth to the plaintiff (owner) nor what the defendant (acquiring authority) can afford to pay, but what it is fairly worth in cash on the open mar-ket, as above stated. (Iowa Civil Jury Instructions 2500.4)

In short, the fair and reasonable market value of a property is to be considered in the same manner that a knowledgeable, voluntary buyer determines the fair and reasona-ble market value of a property—what are its capabilities, what are its detriments, what is it fairly and reasonable worth in the market place? The jury and/or Compen-sation Commission is entitled to be informed of all-factors which (1) the willing sell-er would impress upon the willing buyer that tend to show value and (2) the willing


3

buyer would impress upon the willing seller that tend to indicate lack of value—including sales of comparable properties and evidence of its highest and best use. Basis: Iowa Civil Jury Instructions 2500.6 and annotate authorities; Bellew v. Iowa State Highway Commission, 171 N.W. 2d 284, 288-289 (Iowa 1969); and, In Re Primary Road No. 141, 255 Iowa 711, 124 N.W.2d 141, 147 (1963).

The determination of “Market Value” may not consider or reflect any enhancement in value of the subject, caused by the public improvement which has prompted the taking. (No sales exhibiting these effects may be used as a comparable in arriving at the value of the subject property, either before or after the date of condemnation.) Basis: Iowa Civil Jury Instructions 2500.3; Socony Vacuum Oil Co. v. State, 170 N.W.2d 378 (Iowa 1969).

Compliance with USPAP - Jurisdictional Exception Rule The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) states, “If any applica-ble law or regulation precludes compliance with any part of USPAP, only that part of US-PAP becomes void for that assignment.”

This assignment involves a jurisdictional exception because the Iowa Code prohibits consid-eration of increases in a property’s value caused by the project. It specifically states, “shall not take into consideration any advantages that may result to said owner on account of the improvements for which it is taken”.

USPAP requires that “when analyzing anticipated public or private improvements, located on or off the site, an appraiser must analyze the effect on value, if any, of such anticipated improvements to the extent they are reflected in market actions.” We are specifically disre-garding the benefits that could accrue to the subject property due to the proposed project. Therefore, we note this appraisal is made using a “jurisdictional exception” in order to ap-praise the property in compliance with requirements for government acquisition appraisals.

Date of Inspection and Valuation The property was viewed on March 15, 2017 by Karen C. Olson. Russ G. Manternach viewed the property on March 27, 2017. The estimate of just compensation is effective as of March 15, 2017.

Contamination There are no obvious signs of contamination. We have performed this analysis assuming no contamination exists.

Value Conclusions

Just Compensation (March 15, 2017) $43,200.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

We are appraising the property assuming it does not suffer from soil or groundwater contamina-tion. Our estimate of market value, and other findings presented in this report, is contingent upon this assumption.

The date of value to which the opinions expressed in this report apply is set forth in the letter of transmittal. We assume no responsibility for economic or physical factors occurring at some later date, which may affect the opinions stated herein.

The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compli-ance 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 noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property.

No opinion is intended to be expressed for legal matters or that would require specialized inves-tigation or knowledge beyond that ordinarily employed by real estate appraisers, although such matters may be discussed in the report.

No opinion as to title is rendered. Data on ownership and the legal description were obtained from sources generally considered reliable. Title is assumed to be marketable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, easements, and restrictions except those specifically discussed in the report. The property is appraised assuming it to be under responsible ownership and compe-tent management and available for its highest and best use.

No engineering survey has been made by the appraiser. Except as specifically stated, data rela-tive to size and area, were taken from sources considered reliable. No encroachment of real property improvements is assumed to exist, unless otherwise stated.

The maps, plats, and exhibits included are for illustration only, as an aid in visualizing matters discussed within the report. They should not be considered to be surveys or relied upon for any other purpose.

No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas, or mineral rights. The property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of such materials except as is express-ly stated.

Because no title report was made available to the appraiser, I assume no responsibility for such items of record not disclosed by our normal investigation.

No detailed soil studies covering the subject property were available for my use. Therefore, premises as to soil qualities employed in this report are not conclusive but have been considered


6

consistent with information available. It is assumed that the site would support those improve-ments that represent the highest and best use.

Disclosure of the contents of this appraisal report is governed by the By-Laws and Regulations of the Appraisal Institute, the American Society of Appraisers, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraiser or the firm with which he is connected, or any reference to the Apprais-al Institute or to the MAI or RM designation or the SREA, SRPA or SRA designations, the American Society of Appraisers or their members) shall be disseminated to the public through advertising media, public relations media, news media, sales media, or any other public means of communication without the prior written consent and approval of the undersigned. This con-sent and approval does not apply to Governmental Agencies who disclose appraisals and ap-praised values through their normal business functions.

We have inspected the subject property and found no obvious evidence of structural deficiencies except as stated in this report. However, no responsibility for hidden defects or conformity to specific governmental requirements, such as fire, building and safety, earthquake, or occupancy codes can be assumed without provision of specific professional or governmental inspections.

Because no termite inspection report was available, we assume no termite damage or infestation unless so stated.

Because no asbestos inspection report was made available to the appraiser, we assume no re-sponsibility for such materials or like items that would require specialized knowledge or investi-gation beyond that ordinarily employed by real estate appraisers.

Unless stated otherwise, we did not observe and are not aware of the existence of hazardous or toxic materials or wastes at subject property. The existence of such materials may have an affect on the estimate of value. The client should retain an expert in these fields, if desired.

Testimony or attendance in court or at any other hearing is not required by reason of rendering this appraisal unless such arrangements are made a reasonable time in advance.

It is assumed that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, or national government or private entity or or-ganization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based.

It is assumed that the property is in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless the lack of compliance is stated, described, and con-sidered in the appraisal report.

No consideration has been given in this appraisal to personal property located on the premises, or to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property, except noted otherwise. Only the real property has been considered.

STATEMENT OF THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM

Project Definition The City of Van Meter is acquiring property to construct a Water Treatment Plant. The pro-ject entails the construction of buildings and storage tanks on the acquired property. The site will be located along Main Street, which will be extended to the east as part of the pro-ject.

We have not considered any increase in value that may accrue to the property due to this project. However, we are considering negative effects caused by the project and associated acquisitions.

Proposed Acquisition The City of Van Meter proposes to acquire fee title to 121,532 square feet (2.79 acres).

A map and description of the proposed acquisition is included in this report.

The value reduction to the parent tract is equal to the contributory value of the land, im-provements, and partial rights acquired, along with any damage to the remainder, if applica-ble.

The report will be a Value Finding Report.

DES MOINES AREA AND CITY DATA

A detailed description of the Des Moines Metropolitan Area has been retained in our files and is available upon request of our client. In summary, the social, economic, governmental and environmental forces that affect properties in the Des Moines Metropolitan Area are favorable. The Metropolitan Area population has steadily increased over the past 30 years and future increases are anticipated. The Metro Area has a diversified and growing work force. There has been stable growth, which has resulted in a relative balance in the supply and demand for most of the major property groups. There is no excessive vacancy and con-tinued stable growth is anticipated.

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION

General The subject property is located in Van Meter, approximately ten miles west of Des Moines.

Population The population of the State of Iowa, Dallas County, and the City of Van Meter are summarized in the following table.

Van % Dallas % % Year Meter Change County Change Iowa Change 1980 747 29,513 2,913,808 1990 751 0.5% 29,755 0.5% 2,776,755 0.5% 2000 866 15.3% 40,750 15.3% 2,926,324 15.3% 2010 1016 17.3% 66,135 62.3% 3,046,355 4.1%

The data indicates a population increase for the City of Van Meter, Dallas County, and the State of Iowa between 2000 and 2010. The population of the area is expected to continue increasing as the metropolitan area expands westward.

Employment The majority of the neighborhood population commutes to Des Moines and its suburbs for employment.

PARENT TRACT DESCRIPTION -BEFORE

General The site is an irregular shaped tract of land located adjacent to Main Street in Van Meter, Iowa.

Size The site area is 52.53 acres. The area was obtained from public assessment data and a plat map provided by the property owner.

Frontage/Streets The site does not have direct frontage along a paved street. Main Street abuts the property at the northwest corner of the site. A one lane gravel road, which is owned by an adjacent property owner, bounds the site on the north. The south portion of the site has an easement across the adjacent site to the west for ingress/egress access.

Boundaries The site is bounded by the American Legion, recreational fields, and residential properties to the west. A railroad line, agricultural land and the City of Van Meter sewage plant bound the site to the north. The site is bounded on the east and south by primarily vacant land.

Topography and Flood Hazard Area The site has level to rolling topography. The south portion of the site is heavily treed.

According to the flood maps included in this report, the northeast approximately 20% of site is located in a designated 100-year flood hazard area. A flood map is included in this report.

Easements and Encroachments The subject site benefits from access via two easements over adjacent parcels. We are unaware of any other easements that would adversely affect the value of the site.

We did not note any encroachment during our inspection.

Zoning The north portion of the site (17.58 acres) was recently rezoned R-3, Multiple Family District, by the City of Van Meter. The Van Meter future land use map indicated this portion of the property as future commercial and open space uses.

The south portion of the site is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District, by the City of Van Meter.

Utilities All utilities and city services are located in close proximity to the site. The existing house utilizes an on-site septic tank system.


20

Soils We have performed no soil analysis. It is assumed the site would support those uses deemed to be the highest and best use of the land. We have assumed the site does not suffer from any soil or groundwater contamination.

Improvements The site is improved with a single-family house and associated site improvements. Assessment records indicate the house was constructed in 2000 and has 1,895 square feet of living area. Other improvements include agricultural buildings, gravel drive, a pond and landscaping.


21

HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF PROPERTY - BEFORE

Approximately 20% of the site is located in a flood hazard area. This consists of the north-east portion of the parent tract as shown on the flood map included in this report. The high-est and best use of the flood land is for agricultural or recreational use.

The highest and best use, as if vacant, for the remaining land is for single-family residential development and possibly some low density multiple family development. Agricultural use is considered an interim highest and best use.

It appears the house and associated improvements contribute value to the site. The highest and best use, as improved, for the improved portion of the site is for continued single family residential.


22

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS TO BE ACQUIRED

The City of Van Meter proposes to acquire fee title to 121,532 square feet (2.79 acres). The acquisition consists of the northwest portion of the site.

A map and description of the proposed acquisitions is included in this report.


23

PLAN MAP


24

EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

The effect of the fee title acquisition is the reduction of the effective size of the parent tract by 2.79 acres, or approximately 5% of the site area. The size of the parent tract will be re-duced from 52.53 acres to 49.74 acres.

The owner will continue to have access during the project. In the before situation, the sub-ject property is located at the end of Main Street right-of-way. Main Street provides access to the subject property from Mill Street to the west. In the after situation, Main Street will be extended to the east along the proposed acquisition area and the subject property will have similar access.

We assume the fencing along the west property line will be replaced by the City of Van Me-ter as part of the project.

There is no loss in the contributory value of the building(s). The highest and best use of the remainder property will not change after the proposed acquisition.

Any driveways, grass areas, or drainage tile disturbed by the project will be repaired/ re-placed by the project contractor, unless noted otherwise.


25

VALUATION

The City of Van Meter proposes to acquire a portion of the parent tract in fee, along with a temporary construction easement. To assist in our estimate of just compensation, we will estimate the market value of the fee simple estate in the parent tract land. The value loss attributable to the proposed acquisition is best measured by considering the contributory value of the partial rights acquired. We will also consider the loss in landscaping and other items, if applicable.

Land Valuation The essence of the land sales comparison approach is to discover what similar properties have sold for recently in the local market, and after an appropriate adjustment process, to develop indications of what they would have sold for if they had possessed all of the physi-cal and economic characteristics of the property being appraised.

We researched the market for sales that would provide a good indication of value for the property being appraised. We have chosen five sales for presentation within this section. The comparable sales are summarized in the following table. Additional information on the sales is included in the Addendum.

The most consistent indicator of value is the sale price per acre and adjustments have been made on this basis.

The Land Sales Comparison Adjustment table follows. It is a presentation of the essential data for each sale and the adjustments we deemed necessary. An adjustment greater than 1.00 indicates that the comparable sale is inferior to the subject property in that regard. Conversely, an adjustment less than 1.00 demonstrates that the sale is superior to the subject.

Justification of Adjustments

Property Rights Conveyed - The adjustment most often required for property rights conveyed is for the existence of a leasehold position. This adjustment reflects the impact of leases on property value when contract rents differ from market rents. This category can also consider adjustments necessitated if the subject or comparable property is subject to easements that have negative impacts towards value beyond typical boundary related easements, unless separately adjusted in a following catego-ry. No adjustments were necessary for this category.

Cash Equivalency - If a comparable sale occurred under conditions other than cash to the seller, then a cash equivalency adjustment may be necessary. No adjustments were necessary for cash equivalency.

Conditions of Sale - This adjustment considers buyer or seller motivation. Condi-tions of sale may include desperation exchanges, tax ramifications, reinvestment or condemnation money, assemblage, non-arm’s length transactions, and other situa-tions.

The seller of Sale #2 stated the sale price was slightly below market because the buyer was a civic organization and the City of Van Meter agreed to extend Main Street to the property after the sale.

Sale #5 was adjusted upward for the buyer agreeing to transfer 2 developed single family lots back to the seller at no cost upon development of the subdivision. The sale was adjusted upward for this factor.

Market Conditions – Adjustments are made in this category to reflect the increase or decrease in property values between the date of comparable sale and valuation of the subject property.

The demand for residential lots and development land has been increasing the past few years. We have applied an upward adjustment of 3% per year for this period.


27

Location– This category takes into consideration the location of the comparable sales in relation to the subject property. The major factors considered were access and visibility from traffic arteries, the type and quality of development in the area, and acceptance for development in that location by the market. This category also considers paved street frontage and proximity to utilities.

The majority of the sales were adjusted downward for their superior location and/or for having more utilities available in relation to the subject site.

Size and Shape – Size adjustments were made to reflect the impact of economies of scale. As a larger tract of land is purchased, its sale price per square foot will typi-cally decrease. An irregular shape generally decreases the utility of a site and lowers the sale price.

All of the sales were adjusted downward for their superior shape and/or smaller size in relation to the subject parent tract.

Topography/Flood – The northeast approximately 20% of the site is located in a flood hazard area. Sale #1 was adjusted upward for having more land located in a flood designation in comparison to the subject site. This adjustment takes into con-sideration approximately 15% of the Sale #1 area consists of the Raccoon River bed.

Sales #2, #3, #4 and #5 were adjusted downward for having superior topography and/or less flood hazard areas in relation to the subject property.

Zoning – The zoning of the subject and comparable sales allow primarily the same uses.

2010 Subject Sale The subject property sold via contract on July 15, 2010 from William Knapp. The contract had a total sale price of $481,903 which includes the single-family home. This indicates a sale price of $9,173 per acre including the subject building improvements.

Reconciliation – Land Value After adjustments, the comparable sales indicate a value range for the subject parent tract from $14,500 to $15,500 per acre. We have given consideration to all of the sales and rec-oncile to a market value of $15,500 per acre for the parent tract.

Fee Acquisition The diminution in value as a result of the fee acquisition is as follows:

2.79 Acres x $15,500 Per Acre = $43,245.

Rounded to $43,200.


28

Total Value Loss Conclusion The total diminution in value as a result of the acquisition is as follows:

Fee Acquisition $43,200. Permanent Easement N/A. Temporary Easement N/A. Landscaping/Other N/A. Total Just Compensation $43,200.

Other Interests The site is leased to Ron Gebhardt for agricultural purposes. The lease is on an annual term.

Our appraisal assumes any existing crop will be allowed to be harvested prior to project con-struction. Also, future lease terms can be modified to consider the smaller land area or other effects of the project. Therefore, no compensation is estimated for the farm tenant.

DEFINITIONS

The following definitions have been taken from The Dictionary Of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edi-tion, published by the Appraisal Institute, as printed in 2010.

Easement

Non-possessory (incorporeal) interest in landed property conveying use, but not ownership, of a por-tion of that property.

Eminent domain

The right of government to take private property for public use upon the payment of just compensa-tion. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, also known as the takings clause, guarantees payment of just compensation upon appropriation of private property.

Fee simple estate

Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations im-posed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.

Fixture

An article that was once personal property, but has since been installed or attached to the land or building in a rather permanent manner so that it is regarded in law as part of the real estate.

Grantee

A person to whom property is transferred by deed or to whom property rights are granted by a trust instrument or other document.

Grantor

A person who transfers property by deed or grants property rights through a trust instrument or other document.

Lease

A contract in which the rights to use and occupy land or structures are transferred by the owner to another for a specified period of time in return for a specified rent.

Leased fee interest

A freehold (ownership interest) where the possessory interest has been granted to another party by creation of a contractual landlord-tenant relationship (i.e., a lease).

Leasehold improvements

Improvements or additions to leased property that have been made by the lessee.

Leasehold interest

The tenant’s possessory interest created by the lease.

Lessee

One who has the right to occupy and use the property of another for a period of time according to a lease agreement.

Lessor

One who conveys the rights of occupancy and use to others under a lease agreement.


Life Estate

Rights of use, occupancy, and control, limited to the lifetime of the designated party, sometimes re-ferred to as the life tenant.

Market Rent

The most probable rent a property should bring in a competitive and open market reflecting all con-ditions and restrictions of the lease agreement, including permitted uses, use restrictions, expense obligations, term, concessions, renewal and purchase options, and tenant improvements (TIs).

Market Value

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 consummation of a sale as of a specified date and 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 each acting in what they consider their ownbest interest;

3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements compara-ble thereto; and

5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or crea-tive financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
