Recommendation
Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. OB - 085,
APPROVING the Disposition Agreement for the property located at the northeast comer
of Shadow Mountain Drive and Larkspur Lane, Palm Desert, California with El
Paseo Hotel, LLC, in the amount of $2,200,000 (appraised value).
Background
In June of 2006, the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency acquired the property
through assignment by William DeLeeuw and Larkspur Hotel, LLC (former developer).
The Agency then entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Larkspur
Hotel, LLC in April of 2007 to develop a hotel on the site. The former developer received
entitlements for the site but due to the recession was unable to secure financing for the
project and after several extensions; all agreements were terminated with the former
developer.
With the elimination of the Redevelopment Agency and renewed interest in the site by
hotel developers, a Request For Proposals (RFP) was circulated and by the deadline in
April of 2012, one submittal was received from West River, Inc. (Robert Leach) and the
development team known as El Paseo Hotel, LLC (Developer).

The Successor Agency's Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) was
approved by the Department of Finance (DOF) on June 2, 2014 and the subject properties
are referenced as 7a and 7b on the LRPMP.
The developer is ready to proceed with the purchase of the property and the development
of a hotel. The hotel will consist of the following:
• 154 room boutique hotel with a 4-Star rating
• Restaurant and lounge that serves three daily meals and room service
• Pool and spa
• Ballroom
• Underground parking garage
If the Disposition Agreement for the property is approved by the Oversight Board and the
DOF, the developer will be required to finish all entitlement work, have proof of financing,
permit approvals and completed negotiation with a hotel flag prior to the close of escrow.
If all approvals are secured, the developer anticipates breaking ground in April of 2015
and opening the hotel 18 months later.
Discussion
In anticipation of the sale of the property, staff requested a current appraisal for the
property. Performed by Lidgard & Associates, Inc., the appraisal (see attached) complies
with the reporting requirements set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice, under Standard Rule 2-2(a). The valuation study consisted of:
• An inspection of the subject property,
• Review of ordinances adopting the existing Development Agreement on the
property,
• Discussions with City officials regarding development potential of the
subject parcels,
• Review of public records,
• Research and collection of comparable market data in the immediate and
general subject market area, and
• Valuation employing applicable methodology based on an analysis of the
comparable market data.
The property has been appraised by Lidgard & Associates, Inc. at $2,200,000 (Two
Million, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars).
Staff is seeking authorization to execute a purchase and sale agreement (Disposition
Agreement) in the amount of $2,200,000 and to open escrow so the developer can
complete the design and entitlement work and meet all requirements of the agreement.

terminate. Such termination of the Escrow by a non -defaulting Party shall be without prejudice
to the non -defaulting Party's rights and remedies against the defaulting Party at law or equity;
provided, however, any action for damages by the Developer shall be limited to the Developer's
out -of pocket costs and expenses hereunder, and shall not include any consequential or special
damages it may suffer including without limitation those related to profits relating to the Project.
In the event of a default under this Agreement after the Close of Escrow, the non -
defaulting Party may seek against the defaulting Party any available remedies at law or equity,
including but not limited to the right to pursue an action for specific performance, but in no event
shall such non -defaulting Party be entitled to receive any consequential or special damages.

or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
Section 3.5 Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement to the contrary, any failure or delay by either Party in asserting any of its rights and
remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Certain technical terms have been used in the following report which are
defined, herein, for the benefit of those who may not be fully familiar with
said terms.
MARKET VALUE for Fair Market Value):
Market value is sometimes referred to as Fair Market Value; the latter is a
legal term, and a common synonym of Market Value. Market value as
defined in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) is defined as follows:
"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 own best interests;
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 comparable thereto; and
5. 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."
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH:
One of the three accepted methods of estimating Market Value. This
approach consists of the investigation of recent sales of similar properties to
determine the price at which said properties sold. The information so
gathered is judged and considered by the appraiser as to its comparability
to the subject property. Recent comparable sales are the basis for the Sales
Comparison Approach.
LIDGARD AND ASSOCIATES
APPRAISERS -CONSULTANTS
11
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS (Continued)
COST -SUMMATION APPROACH:
Another accepted method of estimating Market Value. This approach
consists of estimating the new construction cost of the building and yard
improvements and making allowances for appropriate amount of
depreciation. The depreciated reconstruction value of the improvements is
then added to the Land Value estimate gained from the Sales Comparison
Approach. The sum of these two figures is the value indicated by the Cost -
Summation Approach.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH:
The Income Capitalization Approach consists of capitalizing the net income
of the property under study. The capitalization method studies the income
stream, allows for (1) vacancy and credit loss, (2) fixed expenses, (3)
operating expenses, and (4) reserves for replacement, and estimates the
amount of money which would be paid by a prudent investor to obtain the
net income. The capitalization rate is usually commensurate with the risk,
and is adjusted for future depreciation or appreciation in value.
DEPRECIATION:
Used in this appraisal to indicate a lessening in value from any one or more
of several causes. Depreciation is not based on age alone, but can result
from a combination of age, condition or repair, functional utility,
neighborhood influences, or any of several outside economic causes.
Depreciation applies only to improvements. The amount of depreciation is a
matter for the judgment of the appraiser.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE:
Used in this appraisal to describe that private use which will (1) yield the
greatest net return on the investment, (2) be permitted or have the
reasonable probability of being permitted under applicable laws and
ordinances, and (3) be appropriate and feasible under a reasonable
planning, zoning, and land use concept.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

VALUATION ANALYSIS
The purpose of this valuation study is the estimation of market value of the
unencumbered fee simple interest in the subject underlying land parcel as
presently entitled for a boutique hotel development. The property has been
appraised as of April 28, 2014.
Prior to the application of the appraisal process, which in this case employs
the Sales Comparison Approach as applied to land value, it is necessary to
consider and analyze the highest and best use of the subject property.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS:
Highest and best use is defined in The Appraisal of Real Estate, by the
Appraisal Institute, 14th Edition, Page 332, as:
"The reasonably probable use of property that results in the
highest value."
In the process of forming an opinion of highest and best use, consideration
must be given to various environmental and political factors such as zoning
restrictions, probability of zone change, private deed restrictions, location,
land size and configuration, topography, and the character/quality of land
uses in the immediate and general subject market area.
There are three basic criteria utilized in the highest and best use analysis of
a property as if vacant, as well as presently improved. The three criteria are
summarized as follows:
1. Physically possible.
2. Legally permissible.
3. Financially feasible.
The foregoing are typically considered sequentially; for example, a specific
use may prove to be maximally productive, however, if it is not legally
permissible, or physically possible, its productivity is irrelevant.
Physically Possible:
The physical possibility of developing a specific property is governed, in part,
by the size, shape, area, and terrain of the property in question. The
availability of public utilities is also an important consideration in the analysis
of a property's overall development potential.

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS: (Continued)
Physically Possible: (Continued)
Additional physical considerations are warranted when analyzing the highest
and best use of the subject property, as presently improved. The size,
architectural design, and condition of the existing building improvements are
important elements, and may have a substantial impact on the highest and
best use of a property, as presently improved.
Legally Permissible:
Legally permissible uses are determined, in part, by a community's general
plan, zoning requirements, local building codes, and private deed
restrictions.
The general plan of a community is established to assure continuity of
development within the community and the surrounding area. There is
usually a consistency between the general plan of a community and the
various zone classifications. The zone classification sets forth the various
types of development allowed within a specific zone district. Zoning
requirements typically constitute the available choices of development for a
property. Local building codes are generally addressed as part of the zone
classification, and include items such as maximum building densities,
building height restrictions, setback and parking requirements, etc. Private
deed restrictions relate to mutual agreements under which a property was
acquired. Said restrictions may prohibit certain types of development.
Financially Feasible;
Those uses which meet the first two criteria, i.e. physically possible and
legally permissible, are further analyzed in order to determine which uses
produce an adequate return on the investment. The specified use is
considered financially feasible if the net income capable of being generated
is enough to satisfy the required rate of return and provide a return on the
land.
Among those uses which are considered financially feasible, that use which
produces the highest price, or value, consistent with the required rate of
return, is considered the highest and best use of the property.

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS: (Continued)
Conclusion:
The subject property has a nonsignaiized corner location at the intersection
of two secondary streets within the Downtown Business District of Palm
Desert. The site is situated in close proximity to the El Paseo commercial
corridor, has an effectively rectangular land configuration, generally level
topography, and contains 91,476 square feet of land area. Site
prominence/exposure, along with vehicular accessibility of the subject
parcel is rated average.
All public utilities such as water, gas, electric power, telephone, as well as
public sewer are available at the site. The physical characteristics of the
subject parcel are considered adequate to accommodate a variety of legally
permissible uses.
Development of the subject property is governed by Ordinance No. 341
originally adopted on August 11, 1983 and subsequently amended on
December 7, 1989 by Ordinance No. 589. Said ordinances are collectively
referred to as the Development Agreement Ordinance. Further, Ordinance
No. 1 158 adopted by Palm Desert City Council on July 16, 2008 pertains to
Development Agreement 07-02 between the City of Palm Desert and
Larkspur Associates, LL_C, a California Limited Liability Company.
The development plan comprises a four -star boutique hotel with a maximum
of 154 units/keys consisting of two fully integrated components including a
(1) three-story four -star boutique hotel with 106 rooms, and (2) a two-story
condominium complex containing a total of 16 hotel suites, each having
three bedroom lockout rooms. The maximum number of keys for the
project is limited to 154. The project also includes 203 underground
automobile parking spaces, restaurant, gift shop, conference/meeting
rooms, spa, and amenities including roofdeck pool/bar, garden, and patios.
11 of the 16 condominium hotel units will include roofdeck patios. It is
understood that the condominium component has been removed from the
project with the approval of the planning commission.
Based on a paired sales analysis involving entitled and unentitled land
parcels within the greater Southern California Region, the value attributable
to development entitlements can command premiums ranging between
20% and 40% of the otherwise unencumbered fee simple value. This
condition does not hold true for the proposed subject development due to
current economic conditions as well as extraordinary costs associated with
the necessity of constructing a subterranean parking garage.
LIDGARD AND ASSOCIATES
APPRAISERS -CONSULTANTS

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS: (Continued)
Conclusion: (Continued)
Specifically, estimated costs to construct the subterranean parking garage
have been reported at $3,382,599, which reflects an additional cost of
$21,965 per guest room based on the 154-room boutique hotel as
proposed. In contrast, a scaled down hotel development containing
approximately 75 guest rooms would not require construction of the garage
structure. The required number of automobile parking spaces could be
provided via a surface parking lot, thus substantially reducing the cost of
construction. As stated, however, future development of the property must
adhere to standards and specifications set forth in the development
agreement.
In light of the foregoing, the existing development agreement and
accompanying entitlements are considered having a negative impact on the
value of the subject land parcel. While a 154 guest room boutique hotel
development is physically possible and legally permissible, it is not
necessarily feasible or maximally productive with respect to the monetary
return on the investment. The limited development opportunities have been
assigned particular consideration in the analysis of the subject land parcel.
VALUATION METHODS:
There are three conventional methods (approaches) which can be used to
estimate value. They are the Sales Comparison Approach, Cost -Summation
Approach, and Income Capitalization Approach. Following is a brief
description of each approach to value.
Sales Comparison Approach:
This approach consists of the investigation of recent sales of
similar properties to determine the price at which said
properties sold. The information so gathered is judged and
considered by the appraiser as to its comparability to the
subject property. Recent comparable sales, either vacant land
or improved properties, are the basis for the application of the
Sales Comparison Approach.
Cost -Summation Approach:
The Cost -Summation Approach consists of estimating the
construction cost new of the building and yard improvements
and making allowances for the appropriate amount of accrued
LIDGARD AND ASSOCIATES
APPRAISERS -CONSULTANTS

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
VALUATION METHODS: (Continued)
depreciation. The depreciated reconstruction value of the
improvements is then added to the land value estimate. The
sum of these two figures is the value indicated by the Cost -
Summation Approach.
Income Capitalization Approach:
The Income Capitalization Approach consists of the capitalizing
of net income of the property under appraisement. The
capitalization methodology studies the income stream, allows
for (1) vacancy and credit loss, (2) fixed expenses, and (3) oper-
ating expenses. The value indicated by the Income
Capitalization Approach represents the money which would be
paid by a prudent investor to obtain the net income capable of
being generated by the property. The capitalization rate is
usually commensurate with the inherent risk.
Inasmuch as the subject property consists of an effectively vacant land
parcel readily available for commercial development, the Sales Comparison
Approach, as applied to commercial land value, is the only approach
considered applicable in the subject case.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH:
The Sales Comparison Approach takes into account properties which have
sold in the open market. This approach, whether applied to vacant or
improved property, is based on the Principle of Substitution which states,
"The maximum value of a property tends to be set by the cost of acquiring
an equally desirable substitute property, assuming no costly delay is
encountered in making the substitution." Thus, the Sales Comparison
Approach attempts to equate the subject property with sale properties by
analyzing and weighing the various elements of comparability.
The Sales Comparison Approach was applied after conducting an
investigation of market data (land sales) in the greater subject market area.
The reader is referred to the Market Data Section for comprehensive
information pertaining to each sale property employed herein. Reference
the Market Data Map on the following page for an illustration of the location
of the various sale properties.

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: (Continued)
Primary indicators studied included sales of commercial zoned land parcels
as well as land sales construction cost estimates and depreciation
schedules. Other elements considered included (1) pride of ownership
exhibited by an aggressive and on -going maintenance program, and (2)
trends toward change evidenced by private redevelopment and remodeling,
or gradual continued building degeneration in certain areas.
The knowledge and understanding of present and historical value patterns
and trends affecting the local real estate market are based on the
observation of market conditions and the appraisal of other commercial
properties, as well as information obtained from various sources which
include the following:
• Owners: Interviews were conducted with owners of
properties in the general research area to determine various
market trends, and value patterns.
• Tenants: Interviews were conducted with various tenants of
properties located within the immediate subject market area.
• Real estate brokers and salespersons: A number of active
brokers and salespersons within the greater subject market
area were interviewed regarding existing and historical lease
and sales data, as well as value patterns and trends.
• Public officials: Various public officials were interviewed
regarding (1) existing or proposed projects which have an
impact on real property values, (2) economic trends, (3) level
of public services, (4) zone classifications and building
standards, and (5) property tax structure and assessment
districts.
• Published data: Information was gathered and studied
regarding population, unemployment levels, employment
centers, commercial/residential sales data as well as rental
data, and other demographic and economic factors.

The land sale properties surveyed are located within the general subject
vicinity, and represent the most recent comparable land sale transactions.
The properties range in size from 24,084 to 54,886 square feet of land area.
The overall purchase prices range from $425,000 to $1,550,000, reflecting a
range of $12.1 1 to $28.94 per square foot of land area.
Due to the absence of a representative number of land sale properties
having recently sold within the immediate subject market area, it was
necessary to expand the (1) chronological time frame, and (2) geographic
search area to include nearby communities of La Quinta, Rancho Mirage,
and Palm Springs. Particular consideration has been assigned to general
location and immediate environmental influences in the analysis of the
individual sale properties. The foregoing sale transactions represent the
most recent and comparable properties available for analysis.

Land Value: (Continued)
All of the sales employed herein conveyed title to the fee simple interest, and
represent arm's length transactions. Financing terms of each sale are
considered generally typical of the subject market area. Adjustments for
property rights conveyed, conditions of sale, and financing terms, therefore,
are not warranted.
Market Conditions:
Certain of the land sales data considered extended over a time period back
to the second quarter of 2011. The time frame permitted the development
of a rather comprehensive real estate market profile. The sales employed in
this report are set forth in chronological order, and took place between April,
2011 and March, 2014.
Virtually all types of real estate within the greater Southern California region
experienced relatively high levels of value appreciation throughout 2003 to
the first half of 2006. The lack of available properties offered for sale, along
with the expansion of subprime lending practices, have been the primary
reasons for the unprecedented rate of real estate appreciation, particularly
with respect to single family and low density multiple family residential
properties.
While the appreciation rate pertaining to residential properties began to
subside in the middle part of 2006, the market for commercial and industrial
properties, along with vacant land parcels continued to thrive. The destabili-
zation of the residential market was caused by numerous factors including
(1) increasing interest rates, (2) an oversupply of properties available for
sale, (3) the tightening of credit markets wherein difficulty of obtaining
financing began, and (4) the lack or diminishing confidence level regarding
future value appreciation for residential properties.
Within the past four to five years, both the local and national economies have
suffered a major housing and credit crisis which has had a significant impact
on market activity involving all types of real property. The lack of financing
options available for purchase and refinancing activities has had a
detrimental impact on demand and value.

Land Value: (Continued)
Market Conditions: (Continued)
Based on market research findings and analysis of the immediate and
general subject vicinity, it is apparent that values of commercial properties
continued to appreciate through the last quarter of 2007 despite the
meltdown of the residential market. Interviews with active real estate
brokers and salespersons indicate that commercial and industrial
properties, including vacant land parcels, have declined in value
substantially since the peak period.
As stated, appreciating conditions occurred throughout the first three
quarters of 2007 and leveled off during the fourth quarter thereof. Due to the
lack of financing options and overall uncertainty regarding credit markets,
the declining trend gained significant momentum in the last quarter of 2008
and throughout the first quarter of 2009. It is apparent that market
conditions have stabilized since the second half of 2010. There has been an
increase in the demand for vacant land parcels within the past several
months. The increased demand has resulted in a slight upward value trend.
This condition has been considered in the analysis of the individual land sale
properties employed herein.
Elements of Comparability:
After viewing each of the sale properties, and obtaining certain information
pertinent to land value, the appraiser analyzed the various elements of
comparability for each sale property which, among others, include the
following:
General location.
Immediate environmental influences.
Zoning.
Vehicular and pedestrian access.
Vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Availability of public alley.
Overall developability.
Site frontage/depth ratio.
Site prominence and exposure.
Proximity to freeway.
A Relative Comparison Analysis (RCA) has been conducted between the
individual comparable properties and the subject property. The RCA is a
qualitative technique for analyzing comparable sales, and is a valuable tool
employed to illustrate whether the characteristics of a comparable property
are inferior, superior, or similar to those of the property under appraisement.

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: (Continued)
Land Value: (Continued)
Elements of Comparability: (Continued)
The Relative Comparison Analysis is similar to paired data analysis without
the use of arbitrary or unsupportable quantitative adjustments. This
technique acknowledges the imperfect nature of the subject real estate
market. The primary objective is to bracket the subject property between
the comparable sales with respect to the similarity, superiority, and inferiority
thereof. Superior elements of comparability of an individual sale property
would reflect a downward adjustment to the value indication thereof.
Conversely, inferior elements suggest an upward adjustment.
Additionally, it is important to note that the above elements of comparability
were not assigned equal weight in making the analysis of each property.
The general location, immediate environmental influences, vehicular
accessibility, site conditions, site prominence/exposure, and land plottage
were considered the most important factors in the subject case, as follows:
General Location:
Social, economic, and governmental forces have a substantial
influence on property values. Locational factors considered
include, but are not limited to, demographics such as proximity
to housing, schools, employment centers, transportation
facilities, as well as quality of public services, proximity to
freeway corridors, enforcement of codes, and median income
levels.
Immediate Environmental Influences:
Considered with respect to the density and quality of existing
developments within the immediate proximity to a specific
property. By contrast, immediate environmental influences
represent a myopic consideration of location as opposed to
more generalized characteristics considered with respect to
general location.
Vehicular Accessibility:
Commercial and industrial properties rely heavily on vehicular
accessibility. Generally, corner locations with multiple access
points command higher values than interior parcels having
single point ingress/egress.

VALUATION ANALYSIS (Continued)
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: (Continued)
Land Value:(Continued)
Elements of Comparability: (Continued)
Site Conditions:
This factor is considered with respect to the condition of the
property at the time of the sale. While certain properties are
acquired based on the underlying land value, often times
improvements exist on the site which either contribute or
detract from the value. In many instances, an additional
expense must be incurred to demolish existing improvements
which expense increases the cost of the underlying land. In
contrast, however, a nominally improved property may be
receiving income for an interim period during the planning and
entitlement phase of a future development.
Site Prominence/Exposure:
Commercial retail and office properties, along with certain
industrial uses, rely heavily on site prominence/exposure as a
means of attracting customers and clients. The advertising
exposure along commercial thoroughfares can also be
beneficial to industrial and business park oriented properties. In
general terms, signalized corner parcels offer superior
prominence/exposure than interior sites. Additionally, heavily
traveled corridors are preferred by commercial uses over
secondary collector streets.
Land Area:
The functional utility or desirability of a site often varies
depending on the types of contemplated uses. Different
prospective uses have ideal size and shape characteristics that
influence value as well as highest and best use. The purchase
price per square foot of land area can fluctuate greatly
depending on the size of property.
Smaller parcels lend themselves to a higher degree of market
participants capable of purchasing and developing the sites.
Due to the precept of "economies of scale", it is the general
consensus that smaller parcels tend to sell on a higher per
square foot basis than larger parcels. In light of the variation in
land size among the sale properties employed herein, particular
consideration has been assigned to land area in the analysis.

Overall marketability of each sale property was also considered.
Marketability is the practical aspect of selling a property in view of all the
elements constituting value, and certain economic and financing conditions

Sales Comparison Analysis: (Continued)
Reference the Market Analysis Comparison Grid set forth on the following
facing page. The sale properties have been compared to the subject
property with consideration assigned to property rights conveyed, date of
sale, financing terms, along with the various elements of comparability.
By way of review and comparison, the subject parcel has a nonsignalized
corner location, effectively rectangular land configuration, generally level
topography, and contains 91,476 square feet of land area. While the site is
fully entitled for hotel development, said entitlements are judged to have a
negative impact on value due to extraordinary costs associated with
constructing a semi -subterranean parking garage. Reference the detailed
discussion regarding same on Pages 3 and 4 of this section.
In addition to the consummated sale transactions discussed herein,
research was expanded to include four reasonably comparable land parcels
presently offered for sale within the general subject market area, as follows:

The properties surveyed range in size from 37,462 to 80,586 square feet of
land area. The overall asking prices range from $799,000 to $2,500,000,
reflecting $21.33 to $33.33 per square foot of land area. The marketing

Land Value: (Continued)
Sales Comparison Analysis: (Continued)
All of the consummated sale transactions employed herein were considered
helpful in the land valuation analysis of the subject property. The purchase
price per square foot of land area has been utilized herein as the primary
indication of value inasmuch as it is most commonly utilized by market
participants. Following is a summary relating the overall comparability of the
individual sale properties to the subject property.
Overall
Data Comparability $ Per SF
D far inferior $12.11
G inferior $17.88
F similar $21.23
Subject - - - - $24.00
E similar $25.83
A similar $26.37
B superior $28.24
C superior $28.94
After considering the various elements of comparability, as well as economic
and financial conditions prevailing during the consummation of the various
sale properties, when compared to current market conditions, it is the
appraiser's opinion that the unencumbered fee simple market value of the
subject site is estimated at $24.00 per square foot of land area, as follows:
91,476 SF @ $24.00 = $2,195,424.
Adjusted: $2,200,000.
FINAL ESTIMATE OF MARKET VALUE:
Based on the foregoing valuation study, the unencumbered fee simple
market value of the subject property, as of the date of value employed
herein, is estimated at $2,200,000.

EXPOSURE TIME:
Exposure time is defined in the 2014-2015 Edition of the Uniform Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice as the `estimated length of time that the
property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market
prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the
effective date of the appraisal" Exposure time is a retrospective opinion
based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open
market. The reasonable exposure time is a function of price, time, and use,
not an isolated opinion of time alone.
The exposure time of a particular property is a direct function of supply and
demand within a particular market segment. Generally, a higher demand
results in a shorter marketing period. During the course of extensive market
research, interviews were conducted of parties involved in the transactions
regarding the sale properties employed in the Sales Comparison Approach.
Based on said interviews, as well as interviews with a number of real estate
brokers and other market participants, the exposure time estimated for the
subject property, assuming an aggressive and comprehensive marketing
program, is estimated at approximately six to nine months.
