MEETING BATE: Monday, January 14, 2008 --- Work. session
BACKGROUND: The City Manager has been in discussions with the executive
staff of Valley Bank regarding a land exchange in which the bank would acquire the
City's five lots on Main Street between 3rd and 4th Streets and the City would
acquire five of the Bank's adjacent lots on First Avenue West. An appraisal of the
properties has been obtained that has been approved by the Bank's Board of
Directors. This appraisal is attached for Council's consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: City staff is recommending that Council direct that
negotiations continue on the fair land exchange to reach a result that would allow
Valley Bank to construct its new facility on Main Street on the existing City
parking lot and allow the City to obtain the land necessary to be able to eventually
construct a multilevel parking facility on First Avenue West.

Dear Representatives of Valley Bank,
In accordance with your request, I have personally inspected and prepared an appraisal report and
analysis of the real property known as:
Kalispell original Townsite, Block 55, Lots 16-20 [Part A]
Kalispell original Townsite, Block 55, Lots 8-1 2 [Part B ]
The attached narrative, summary report contains the bases, data and analyses upon which the value
estimates rely containing 38 pages including exhibits, is hereby submitted for your review.
The appraisal assignment is to estimate the market value of the real estate, under the hypothetical
condition that the properties identified above are vacant and ready for future development to their highest
and best use. The appraisal problem, as discussed with my client, is to determine the fair market value of
the two sites in conjunction with the potential for a trade of the properties between the City of Kalispell
and Valley Bank of Kalispell. The purpose of this appraisal assignment is to estimate the market value of
the real properties for potential trade negotiations. The assignment is a real estate appraisal issued in a
Summary Report, which is in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
[USPAP].
The report presents a summary of my analysis and states the integral facts, reasoning and
conclusions regarding the appraisal process to develop an opinion of market value. The effective date of
appraisal is December 18, 2007 the date of viewing and photographs. The value estimate is subject to the
attached assumptions and limiting conditions contained in the appraisal report. William R. Frazier, MT
General Appraiser #401 inspected the property. I trust that the information provided is sufficient to
accomplish its intended use. The opinion of market value assumes a marketing and exposure period of
approximately one-year based on sales within the marketing area.
A summary of my conclusions follows:
As -Is Vacant Land
MARKET VALUE ESTIMATE:
Part A, Valley Bank Site: $280,000
Part B, City Main St. Site: $350,000
It has been a pleasure to assist you. If I may be of further service to you in the future, please let
me know.
Sincerely,
William R. Frazier
Montana General Appraiser #401

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
By this notice, all persons or firms reviewing, utilizing or relying on this report in any manner bind
themselves to accept these assumptions and limiting conditions. Do not use this report if you do not so accept.
These three pages are part of this appraisal report; they are a preface to any certification, definition, fact or analysis
and are intended to establish as a matter of record that my function is to provide a present market value indication
for the subject property based upon my observations as to the subj ect property and its associated real estate market.
This appraisal report is an economic study to estimate value as is defined within. It is not an engineering,
construction, legal or architectural study or survey and expertise in these areas, among others, is not implied.
The appraisal process considers socio-economic conditions as they affect the property being appraised.
This encompasses national, regional and local factors that affect the property either advantageously or
disadvantageously. In arriving at a final value estimate the appraiser reviews all applicable approaches to value.
The greatest weight is given to the approach or approaches that provide the most reliable information for the
property being appraised. The appraiser's opinion of value is thus based upon the interpretation of facts developed
from the marketplace, utilizing the appraiser's general knowledge and experience in processing and analyzing
available data.
1 } USE OF REPORT: This appraisal is a package composed of multiple pages and parts. Other
component parts of this appraisal report include but are not limited to maps, floor plan sketch, pictures and
various explanatory addenda. This appraisal report is to be used only in its entirety and no part is to be used
without the whole report. Possession of this report or any copy thereof does not carry with it the right of
publication nor may it be used for other than its intended purpose. The physical report remains my property
for use by the client; the fee is for the analytical services only and neither all nor any part of this appraisal
report shall be disseminated to the general public by the use of advertising media., public relations, news,
sales or other media for public communication without my prior written consent.
2) CONFIDENTIALITY: I will not divulge the material contents of this appraisal report, its analytical
findings or conclusions to anyone not employed by my firm or give a copy of the report to anyone other than
the client or his designee as specified in writing except as may be required by a court of law or other body
with the power of subpoena. All conclusions and opinions concerning the analysis as set forth in this report
were prepared by me and no change of any item in the report shall be made by anyone other than myself. I
shalt bear no responsibility if any such unauthorized change is made.
3) CHANGES: Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. as the appraisal firm, and I, as the undersigned appraiser,
reserve the right to alter statements, analyses, conclusions or other value estimates in the report if facts
become known to us that are pertinent to the appraisal process but that were unknown to us when the report
was finished.
4) REGULATION COMPLIANCE: This appraisal is based on the premise that there has been full
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws unless otherwise
stated. I also assume that all applicable zoning, building, use regulations and restrictions of all types have
been complied with unless otherwise stated and that all required licenses, consents and permits from
legislative or administrative authorities, local, state, federal and/or private entities or organizations have been
or can be obtained or renewed for any use considered in the value estimate.
5) THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA): The ADA became effective January 26,
1993. I have not made a specific compliance survey 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 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 I have no direct evidence relating to this issue, I did not consider
possible noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property.
6) TRADE SECRETS: This appraisal was prepared by and obtained from Frazier Appraisal Services,
Inc. and signed by William R. Frazier, Montana Certified General Appraiser [#401 ]. It consists of "trade
secrets and commercial or financial information" that is privileged and confidential and exempted from
disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Notify me for any request to reproduce this appraisal in whole or in
part.
- Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. 5
7) INFORMATION USED: No responsibility is assumed by myself for accuracy of information
furnished by work of or work by others, the client, a designee or public records. I am not liable for such
information or for the work of possible subcontractors. However, the comparable data relied upon in this
report have been confirmed with one or more parties familiar with the transaction or from affidavit or other
source thought to be reliable. All are considered appropriate for inclusion in this report to the best of my
factual judgment and knowledge. An impractical and uneconomic expenditure of time would be required in
attempting to furnish unimpeachable verification in all instances, particularly as to engineering and market
related information. I suggest that the client consider independent verification as a prerequisite to any
transactions involving sale, lease or other significant commitment of funds on the subject property. Any
sketches, photos or other of the above -listed data., when included as part of this report are only for the
purpose of assisting the reader in visualizing the subject property. Site plans are not surveys unless shown as
being from separate surveyor.
S} SOIL, LEGAL, ENGINEERING, STRUCTURAL, MECHANICAL NATURE OF HIDDEN
COMPONENTS: The Appraiser or Firm has no responsibility for matters that are legal [either in character
or nature] nor of any matters of an architectural, structural, mechanical or engineering nature. No opinion is
rendered as to the title, which is presumed to be good and merchantable. The property has been appraised as
though free and clear of all encumbrances unless otherwise stated in particular parts of the report. The legal
description, as used, is assumed to be correct.
To the best of my knowledge and beliefs, the statements of fact contained in this report are true and
correct but no advice is given regarding mechanical equipment or structural integrity or adequacy or for
matters concerning liens, title status or legal marketability.
I have inspected, so far as is possible, by observation, the land.
The appraisal is based on there being no hidden, unapparent or apparent conditions of the property site,
subsoil, structures or toxic materials that would render it more or less valuable. I have no responsibility for
any such conditions or for any expertise to discover them.
9) VALUE CHANGE OVER TIME: The estimated market value that is defined in this report is subject
to change with market value changes over time. Value is highly related to exposure, time, promotional effort,
terms, motivation and conditions surrounding the offering. The value estimate considers the productivity and
relative attractiveness of the property physically and economically in the marketplace. In cases of appraisals
involving the capitalization of income benefits, the estimate of market value or investment value or value in
use is a reflection of such benefits and my interpretation of income and yields and other factors derived from
general and specific client and market information. Such estimates are as of the date of the subject estimate
of value and are thus subject to change as the market itself changes. Value is therefore naturally dynamic.
10) COMPONENT VALUES: Where the value of land and their improvements is shown separately, the
value of each is segregated only as an aid to better estimate the value that it lends to the whole rather than the
value of that particular item if it were by itself. The distribution of the total valuation in this report between
land and improvements applies only under the existing program of utilization. The separate valuations for
land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
11) INCLUSIONS: Furnishings, equipment, personal property or business operations except as
specifically indicated and typically considered as part of the real estate, have been disregarded with only the
real estate being considered in the value estimate unless otherwise specifically noted.
12) PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements proposed, if any, on or off site, as well as any
repairs required, are considered, for purposes of this appraisal, to be completed in good and workmanlike
manner according to information submitted and/or considered by myself. In cases of proposed construction,
the appraisal is subject to change upon viewing of property after construction is completed.
13) MANAGEMENT: Responsible, prudent ownership and competent management are assumed for the
property that is the subject of this report.
14) TOXIC MATERIALS: I have no knowledge concerning the presence or absence of toxic materials
and/or urea -formaldehyde foam insulation in the existing improvements. If such is present the value of the
property may be adversely affected and reappraisal, at additional cost, may be necessary to estimate the
effects of such. The value estimated in my report is based on the assumption that the property is not
Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc.
negatively affected by the existence of hazardous substances or detrimental environmental conditions. I am
not an expert in the identification of hazardous substances or detrimental environmental conditions. My
routine viewing of and inquiries about the subject property did not develop any information that indicated
any apparent significant hazardous substances or detrimental environmental conditions that would affect the
property negatively. It is possible that tests and viewings made by a qualified hazardous substance and
environmental expert would reveal the existence of hazardous materials and environmental conditions on or
around the property that would negatively affect its value.
15 ) POST -COMPLETION TESTIMONY OR CONSULTATION: I am not required to give testimony
or appear in court in any capacity by reason of this appraisal except under separate and special arrangement
and at additional fee. The contract for appraisal, consultation or analytical service is fulfilled and the total fee
is payable upon completion and shortly after delivery of the report. If testimony or deposition is required
because of any subpoena the client shall be responsible for any additional time, fees or charges regardless of
issuing party.
16) LIMIT OF LIABILITY: My liability, as undersigned appraiser, and Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc.
as the appraisal firm, is limited to the client only and to the fee actually received by the firm. Further, there is
no accountability, obligation, or liability to any third party. If this report is placed in the hands of anyone
other than the client, the client shall make the other such third party aware of all limiting conditions and
assumptions of the assignment and related discussions. I am in no way to be responsible for any cost
incurred to discover or correct any deficiencies of any type present in the property --physically, financially or
legally. In the case of limited partnerships or syndication offerings or stock offerings in real estate, the client
agrees that in case of lawsuit (brought by lender, partner or part owner in any form of ownership, tenant or
other party) any and all awards, settlements of any type in such suit, regardless of outcome, that the client
will hold me completely harmless in such action.
17) EXHIBITS: The sketches, maps and illustrations in this report are included to assist the reader in
visualizing the property and are not necessarily to scale. Various photos, if any, are included for the same
purpose. Site plans are not surveys unless shown from a separate surveyor.
1 S) AUXILIARY AND RELATED STUDIES: No environmental or impact studies, special market
study or analysis, highest and best use analysis study or feasibility study has been requested or made unless
otherwise specified in an agreement for services in the report.
19) FEE STRUCTURE AND COMPENSATION: Neither the employment to make the appraisal nor
the compensation for it is contingent upon the amount of valuation reported. The fee for this appraisal is for
the service rendered and not for the time spent on the physical report.
20) PAYMENT OF FEE: Payment in full is due in a timely fashion after delivery of the report. Suitable
time is allowed for review of the report as to accuracy and thoroughness.
ACCEPTANCE OF, AND/OR USE OF THIS APPRAISAL REPORT BY CLIENT OR ANY
THIRD PARTY CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS.

STATEMENT of COMPETENCE
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice [USPAP] requires that appraisers
entering into an appraisal agreement have the knowledge and experience to complete the assignment
competently; or alternatively:
1) disclose the lack of knowledge and/or experience to the client before accepting the
assignment; and
2) take all steps necessary or appropriate to complete the assignment competently; and
3) describe the lack of knowledge and/or experience and the steps taken to complete the

DEFINITION of FAIR MARKET VALUE
STATE of MONTANA
Current fair market value. (MCA 70-30 -313) "Current fair market value is the price that
would be agreed to by a willing and informed seller and buyer, taking into consideration, but not limited
to, the following factors:
(1) the highest and best reasonably available use and its value for such use, provided
current use may not be presumed to be the highest and best use;
(2) the machinery, equipment, and fixtures forming part of the real estate taken; and
(3) any other relevant factors as to which evidence is offered."
The economic or financial definition of Market Value is slightly different. It is utilized as the
basis for financial transactions. The definition is from FIRREA.
"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."2
These definitions are intrinsic to the value conclusions set forth in the appraisal assignment.
PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
Property rights are typically assumed to be unencumbered, fee simple title. I have assumed no
responsibility for the marketability of the title. The value conclusion assumes an encumbered fee simple
title.

DEFINITION OF FEE SIMPLE TITLE
"A title that signifies ownership of all the rights in a parcel of real property subject only to
limitations of the four powers of government. "3 These are eminent domain, escheat, police power and
taxation.
PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE APPRAISAL
This appraisal is to develop an opinion of market value of the above cited subject real estate to
U.S. cash terms in fee simple title. Ronald R. Rosenberg, representing Valley Bank of Kalispell, ordered
the appraisal and is thereby my client. Based on our discussion of the appraisal assignment, the intended
users of the appraisal are to include representatives of Valley Bank and the City of Kalispell. The
intended use of the appraisal is for negotiating a potential trade of the two properties and/or establishing a
basis for the potential trade.
SCOPE OF WORK
For each appraisal or consulting assignment, the appraiser must;
1) Identify the problem to be solved. The appraisal problem, as discussed with my client, is to
provide an appraisal that determines the market value of the two defined tracts of land as
though vacant and ready for development to their highest and best use as described in the body
of the report. Any differences in the value conclusion of the two parcels will establish the
basis for negotiating a potential trade of the two parcels.
2) Determine and perform the work necessa to develop a credible result. The scope of work is
to recognize the specific conditions set forth in the definition of fair market value. These
"conditions" require a specific knowledge of the subject property, knowledge of the real estate
market and marketing area, an understanding of market behavior, conditions of sales and the
subject's history, contracts and other sales history that can be reconciled to the general market
conditions. The appraisal considers socio-economic conditions as they affect the property
appraised. This encompasses the national, regional, local and all other external factors that
affect the subject real property. A physical inspection of the property, neighborhood and local
area is made as a basis for the analysis and application of the three recognized approaches to
real property valuation; Sales Comparison Approach [SCA or Market], Cost and Income. In
arriving at a value estimate, the appraiser reviews all approaches to value and applies those
approaches that are applicable to the assignment.
There are six valuation methodologies that can be utilized in land valuation. 1) Sales
Comparison or Market Approach, which consists of adjusting comparable sales to the
subject property. 2) Ground Rent Capitalization or Direct Capitalization; which is the
leased fee interest in an income producing site. 3) Extraction Technique; which is
estimating the site value of an improved property by subtracting the depreciated
contributory value of the improvements. 4) Allocation; which is the application of the
appropriate land to value ratio of improved properties, typically utilized in improved
subdivisions where no vacant lots or "similar" lots are available for comparison. 5)
Subdivision Development; which is based on the net present value of the projected income
from the sale of lots after all expenses estimated for the development are extracted over the
time necessary to sell the lots. 6) Land Residual Technique is similar to Extraction but
from a cost or income perspective versus sales. All costs to improvements [hard, soft,
profit, etc.] are deducted from value of an improved property. Similarly, income from an
improved property is analyzed and all expenses for operation and the return attributable to
3 American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, The Dictionary o, f Real Estate Appraisal, Second Edition, (Chicago: American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989), 120.
- Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. - 9
the other agents of production are deducted and the net income imputed to the land is
capitalized to derive an estimate of value to the land.
In this assignment, Sales, Extraction and Allocation methodologies are considered
throughout the analysis.
3) Disclose the scope of work in the report. Preparation of this assignment included:
➢ viewing the subject property and defined neighborhood.
➢ a viewing of comparable sales [land and improved] within the Kalispell marketing area;
➢ gathering, confirming and analyzing sales and data applicable to the subject property;
➢ applying the valuation methodologies to arrive at an indication of value for the subject real
estate and reconciling the data to present a reasonable opinion of market value for the
subject real estate.

To develop the opinion of value, I performed the appraisal process, as defined in USPAP. This
document is categorized as a Summary Report.
In conclusion, the appraisal seeks to answer the following questions:
(1) Does the As -Is value meet the criteria set forth as a reasonable determination of the highest
and best use of the land?
(2) When all market data is analyzed and reconciled, what is the market value of the property,
As -Is, and is there a measurable value difference between the two defined properties that
would require one or another party [owner] to pay a cash difference in order to equalize
value for the potential trade.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use is, 'That 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
highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility and maximum profitability."s The use determined from any analysis
represents opinion. In addition, highest present value does not always have to be defined strictly in terms
of money but, for the purposes of this report, it is that value that maximizes the owner's return on equity
investment for an investment -type property.
Highest and best use of the land resolves around the concept of development to its zoning
potential. older texts defined highest and best use as "the use that will provide the greatest return to the
land after the requirements of labor, capital and coordination have been satisfied."6 Two perspectives in
each category must also be considered: "as though vacant" and "as improved".
Dictionary, op cit, p. 149

of Real estate Appraisers, 1978), 43.
— Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. — 19
AS -VACANT:
The land value is thus based on the premise of the Highest and Best Use of the property as though
vacant. The four tests, which are considered in developing an opinion as to the Highest and Best Use of
the property are legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and maximally
productive. There are five general uses that are considered. These are residential, commercial, industrial,
agricultural and recreational.
Legally permissible: The property is currently designated with a B-4 Designation. This zone is
restricted to the central, downtown Kalispell commercial marketplace; other uses [industrial, agricultural,
etc.] are generally restricted from the zone..
Physically possible: The site is approximately 0.40-acre, rectangular in shape and has good
exposure and vehicular access. City services and public utilities are available. The site is physically able
to be developed to its zoning potential.
Financial feasibility: Analysis of supply, demand and location are needed to identify those uses
that are financially feasible and ultimately that use which is maximally productive. Commercial use is the
conforming use that appears to be the most financially feasible.
Maximally productive: Commercial use appears to be that use which would be maximally
productive.
Conclusion: The subject's highest and best use as vacant is as a commercial site.
AS -IMPROVED:
It is beyond the scope of the appraisal assignment to determine the "ideal" improvement for the
subject real estate.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH / LAND AS THOUGH VACANT
There are numerous valuation methodologies to arrive at a value conclusion for vacant land; these
include sales comparison analysis, extraction, allocation, income capitalization, land residual technique
and subdivision analysis. In this assignment, the sales comparison approach to value is considered but
due to the lack of B-4 zoned vacant land sales, little weight is applied to the methodology. It is typical for
downtown areas to be built -out with little or no vacant land available for construction. Some local towns
are currently witnessing the demolition of existing buildings for new construction; however this is not yet
common to the Kalispell area. Therefore, the sales included in the summary below are considered as a
basis for further valuation models.

*The average unit price of the sales is $13.96/sf rounded to $14/sf.
The first, obvious fact is that none of the sales are located within the central business district and
none have the B-4 zoning. These recent sales bracket the subject site in land size area and have a
relatively tight range in unit price from $13.81/sf to 16.16/sf.
Sale #1 is located northwest of the subject, in an area of Kalispell that is further away from the
downtown Central business district. The site is located off Meridian Road which is considered a main
arteriole running north /south on the west side of Kalispell. The site is smaller than the subject and has
inferior zoning, and visibility. The location is considered inferior to the subject due to a lower traffic

for $ 176,000 in a cash transaction with a marketing period of 541 days.
Sale #2 is included for its recent date of sale and similar site size. This sale is considered inferior
to the subject based on its zoning and distance from the downtown central business district. This sale was
listed on 6/8/2007 for $290,000. The property sold on 7/9/2007 for $250,000 in a 14% discounted cash
transaction with a marketing period of 31 days.
Sale #3 is located north of the subject near the Kalispell Regional Hospital in the Buffalo
Commons development. This area is developing with a wide spectrum of commercial uses including
professional offices, retail, service, and medical related facilities. This site is larger than the subject site
but on -site parking is required. It is considered to have good access and visibility from Highway 93. This
sale was listed on 5/ 16/2007 for $499,000 and sold on 1011. 2/2007 for $445,000 reflecting an 11 %
discount with a marketing period of 149 days.
Sale #4 is located north east of the subject near Highway 2. This site is smaller than the subject
and is considered inferior in zoning. This property was listed on 7/18/2007 for $109,000. The property

The location map of these sales illustrates their physical differences to the subject. While all are
viable building sites, they have little direct correlation to the subject site. Therefore, other valuation
models are considered in the analysis.

Land valuation: Allocation
The allocation technique in appraisal methodology is described by the Appraisal of Real Estate,
Twelfth Edition from the Appraisal Institute as "Either sales of improved properties and the prices paid
are allocated between the land and improvements, or comparable sites under development are analyzed
and the costs of the finished properties are allocated between the land and improvements. Allocation can
be used in two ways: to establish a typical ratio of land to total value [LTV], which may be applicable to
the property being appraised, or to isolate the value contribution of either the land or the building from the
sale for use in comparison analysis." The Twelfth Edition also states "Allocation is useful when
transactional data on comparable sites in the immediate area is not available." Since there are no "good"
direct comparable land sales for the subject site and there are improved sales available for analysis, the
Allocation technique is a weighted methodology in the overall analysis.
To begin the allocation technique, I considered seven recent commercial office construction
projects throughout Flathead County to establish a reasonable land to value ratio.

Therefore I am going to apply the extraction method to the first group of sales listed above. These

The next step in the analysis is to consider improved sales from the subject "neighborhood"

*The average unit price to the B-4 land allocation is $13.321sf, but if Sale #5 is excluded, the
average is $14.65 relatively consistent with the vacant land sales from the previous section. See following
comments.
Sale #1 is located northeast of the subject on First Avenue East. This sale was included for its
similar downtown location and its similar zoning. The site size is smaller than the subject, but reflects
potential for future development of the individual subject lots. This sale was listed on 3/10/2006 for
$350,000 and sold on 6/16/2006 for $275,000 in a 2 1 % discounted cash transaction with a marketing
period of 98 days.
Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. - 22
Sale #2 is located in the immediate area of Sale # I on First Avenue East. This sale is included for
similar site size, location and utility. This sale reflects the use of a singular building maximizing the five
city lots. This sale was listed on 10/21 /2005 for $1,600,000 and sold on 9/29/2006 for $1,225,000
reflecting a 23% discount with a marketing period of 343 days.
Sale #3 is located east of the subject on First Avenue East. This site is located on a highly visible
corner within the downtown area. This sale is similar to the subject in utility and downtown location.
The site is smaller than the subject, but again reflects the utility of improvements to one or more of the
subject lots. This sale was listed on 6/9/2006 for $398,000 and sold on 2/26/2007 for $357,000 in a 10%
discounted transaction with a marketing period of 262 days.
Sale #4 is a slightly smaller site located across the street from the subject. The site is located in
the middle of the block, similar to the subject site. This sale was listed on 1/10/2007 for $548,000 and
sold on 311.612007 for $510,000, reflecting a 7% discount with a relatively short marketing period of 65
days.
Sale #5 is located on a smaller lot size, but is similar in downtown location and utility. This site is
located on a highly trafficked corner with good visibility and access. This sale was listed on 5/23/2007
for $515,000 and sold on 7/31/2007 for $480,000 in a 7% discounted cash transaction. It was disclosed
by the listing agent that there was a time factor for the sale of this property, which could reflect a "quick
sale" when compared to the other property sales located within the downtown marketing area, and the
relatively short marketing period of 69 days. Sale #5 is the location of the old Salvation Army property at
the corner of 1't Ave. W. and Fourth Street. In this case, the typical allocation does not produce a
"consistent" unit price to the land, primarily due to the functional utility of the old building on the site. In
this case, it is clear that a greater percentage [higher than 22%] should be allocated to the land because the
contributory value of the building is significantly less than the other, more typical buildings utilized
above. In a particular case like this one would expect a 40% [+/-] land to value ratio, which if applied to
this particular sale would yield a unit price to the land at $14.511sf, which is well within the range of the
other sales.
CONCLUSION:
It is clear that the downtown Kalispell area is primarily "built-up", and is reflected in the lack of
comparable vacant land sales. The vacant sites remaining are generally parking lots utilized by businesses
within the downtown area where customer parking is limited. It is recognized that four of the five
comparable lots are smaller, which supports the fact that sales of similar zoning, site size and location are
limited, and the search parameters for similar properties must be expanded. Even when the search was
broadened, similar vacant lot sales were not available therefore I applied the allocation technique and
analyzed improved sales as a reasonable approach to land values. From the two data sets of sales
[improved and un-improved], we can conclude that the appropriate unit price for the subject property
should be greater than the unimproved sites [averaging $141sf] because of their perimeter locations and
inferior zoning.
The improved downtown sites reflect a range of $ 81sf [rounded] to $161sf [rounded] but three of
the five improved sales produce unit prices to the land between $15.501sf and $16.351sf. It appears
reasonable, appropriate unit price [$/sq to the subject should be at $161sf. Therefore, based on the
improved sales a value of $161sf is applied to the subject area of 17,500 to arrive at an estimated value of
$280,000.

MGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use is, "That 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
highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility and maximum profitability. "a The use determined from any analysis
represents opinion. In addition, highest present value does not always have to be defined strictly in terms
of money but, for the purposes of this report, it is that value that maximizes the owner's return on equity
investment for an investment -type property.
Highest and best use of the land resolves around the concept of development to its zoning
potential. older texts defined highest and best use as "the use that will provide the greatest return to the
land after the requirements of labor, capital and coordination have been satisf ed."8 Two perspectives in
each category must also be considered: "as though vacant" and "as improved".

AS -VACANT!
The land value is thus based on the premise of the Highest and Best Use of the property as though
vacant. The four tests, which are considered in developing are opinion as to the Highest and Best Use of
the property are legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and maximally
productive. There are five general uses that are considered. These are residential, commercial, industrial,
agricultural and recreational.
Legally permissible: The property is currently designated with a B-4 Designation. This zone is
common in the downtown Kalispell, commercial marketplace; other uses [industrial, agricultural, etc.] are
generally restricted from the zone.
Physically possible: The site is approximately 0.40-acre, rectangular in shape and has good
exposure and vehicular access. City services and public utilities are available. The site is physically able
to be developed to its zoning potential.
Financial feasibility: Analysis of supply, demand and location are needed to identify those uses
that are financially feasible and ultimately that use which is maximally productive. Commercial use is
visible in the local marketing area and is the fastest growing market segment that appears to be the most
financially feasible.
.Maximally productive: Commercial use appears to be that use which would be maximally
productive.
Conclusion: The subject's highest and best use as vacant is as a commercial site.
AS -IMPROVED:
It is beyond the scope of the appraisal assignment to determine the' ideal' improvement for the
subject real estate.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH / LAND AS THOUGH VACANT
There are numerous valuation methodologies to arr4.
ive at a value conclusion for vacant land; these
include sales comparison analysis, extraction, allocation, income capitalization, land residual technique
and subdivision analysis. In this assignment, the sales comparison approach to value is considered, but
due to the lack of B-4 zoned vacant land sales little weight is applied to the methodology. It is typical for
downtown areas to be built --out with little or no vacant land available for construction. Some local towns
are currently witnessing the demolition of existing buildings for new construction; however this is not yet
common to the Kalispell area. Therefore, the sales included in the summary below are considered as a
basis for further valuation models.

*3 is the combination sale of two properties.
Sale #1 is located north of the subject. The site is larger than most downtown city lots. This sale
is included for its similar zoning, and downtown location. This sale was listed on 9/15/2005 for $498,000
and sold on 4/17/2006 for $400,000 in a 20% discounted transaction with a marketing period of 214 days.
Sale #2 is located in the immediate area of the subject on Main Street. The site size is smaller, but
reflects the highest unit price [$/sfl of the comparable sales. It is common in the market place for smaller
sites to reflect a higher unit price when directly compared with larger sites, assuming no other factors of
value. This sale is somewhat non -typical because the building was completely renovated prior to the sale.
Therefore, in this instance, the building could contribute a greater percentage of value, than "typical"
when directly compared with other recent sales along Main Street. This sale was listed on 5/4/2006 for
$490,000 and sold on 6/30/2006 for $470,000 in a 4% discounted transaction with a marketing period of
57 days.
Sale #3 is a smaller site located in the immediate area of the subject. This is a sale of two
properties that were sold as a combined sale. The property with the address of 314 Main Street was listed
for $398,000 and the 318 Main Street property was listed for $360,000. These properties were both listed
on 8/10/2006. The properties were sold due to financial issues ensued by the seller, which could be
reflected in the higher than normal discounted sales price for the properties. This combination was sold
for $580,000 in a 23% discounted cash transaction. The marketing period for the properties was 155
days.
Sale #4 is included for its close proximity to the subject and recent date of sale. The site size is
smaller than the subject, but is similar in location and utility. This sale was listed on 6/12/2007 for
$230,000 and sold on 10/812007 for the list price of $230,000 with a marketing period of 118 days.

CONCLUSION:
It is clear that the downtown Kalispell area is primarily "built-up" and is reflected in the lack of
comparable vacant land sales. The vacant sites remaining are generally parking lots utilized by businesses
within the downtown area where customer parking is limited. It is recognized that all the comparable lots
are smaller, which supports the fact that sales of similar zoning, site size and location are limited, and the
search parameters for similar properties must be expanded. Even when the search was broadened similar
sales were not available therefore I applied the allocation technique from improved sales. From the two
data sets of sales [improved and un-improved], we can conclude that the appropriate unit price for the
subject property should be reasonably greater than that produced by the un-improved sales [averaging
$141sf] because of their perimeter locations and inferior zoning. The improved downtown sites reflect a
range of $131sf [rounded] to $30/sf [rounded], with most allocated sites ranging below $201sf. Improved
Sale #2 produces the greatest allocated unit price to the land but it is also the "superior" building of the
group such that the contributory value of the improvements may be greater than "typical" in this sub -
neighborhood. Therefore, I am weighting Sale #3 as the most applicable to the assignment because the
assemblage of two improved properties appears to satisfy the best example of market trends because one
building is renovated and the other is older so the two, together should "equalize" the overall impact of
the improvements on the sale price. Since the subject site is a corner location versus Sale #3's "interior"
lots, I am adjusting the unit price from Sale #3 slightly upward by 10% to $201sf when the adjusted unit
price of $201sf is applied to the subject's area of 17,500 the value indication for the subject site is
estimated at $350,000.
FINAL RECONCILIATION: PARTS A & B
The Kalispell downtown business zone, B--4 is primarily improved with few vacant lots and fewer
lot sales available for analysis. Therefore, sales comparison analysis is not a weighted methodology in
this assignment. Allocation technique [and to a lesser extent] extraction analysis utilizes improved sales
and land to value ratios to establish an appropriate unit price applicable to the downtown lots identified in
the assignment. There are a few differences in the sites that are noted but difficult to measure; 1) the City
site is a high visibility corner location compared with the Valley Bank site, which is an interior location;
2) considering redevelopment of the sites, the City site would require greater planning and oversight due
to the existence of a neighboring, older building and U.S. Highway 93 right-of-way versus the Valley
Bank site, which appears to be the "easier" site for construction of a new building. 3) the relatively new
application of impact fees could have an impact regarding the type and use of a new building constructed
on the sites. While these could be meaningful differences, the data for application of a numerical
adjustment is virtually impossible to calculate.
These factors and the sales data and analysis produce a difference in the two sites with the Valley
Bank site estimated at $280,000 and the City site valued at $350,000. Both value indications appear
reasonable when compared with the recent sale prices of other development sites around the Kalispell
marketing area. The difference in the market value estimates is $70,000. This too appears to be a
reasonable measure of the differences in the two sites, which equates to approximately 25% increase from
the Valley Bank site to the City site. That is to say there is a 25% difference in the Valley Bank interior
site on Pt Avenue West when directly compared with the City's Main Street high -visibility exposure and
corner location.
