PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION
The subject of this appraisal is a 4.921-acre land parcel located at 9998 90th St. S. in
the city of Cottage Grove, Washington County, Minnesota. The land, which is zoned
AG-1, Agricultural Preservation, is improved with the Christ The Lord Evangelical
Lutheran Church facility. This appraisal is limited only to the valuation of the subject
land and site improvements impacted by the proposed permanent right-of-way and
drainage/utility easement acquisitions by the City of Cottage Grove for road
construction purposes.
MIME
PURPOSE/INTENT OF THE APPRAISAL/INTENDED USER
The City of Cottage Grove has proposed to construct a new parkway to extend through
the East Ravine area of the community. The project involves reconstructing a section
of 90th St. S. in the vicinity of the subject property, at Keats Ave. S. The rebuilt
section will become part of the new Ravine Pkwy. The road construction project
requires the acquisition of property rights from the subject property, comprising 1) a
permanent easement for road right of way and 2) a permanent drainage and utility
easement for storm ponding purposes.
The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an opinion of the loss in the subject
property market value resulting from the partial property rights acquisition. The
estimates of market value are predicated upon the definition of market value contained
herein. The intent of this appraisal is to allow use by the client in negotiating the
proposed acquisition with the property owner. The intended user is the client, the
City of Cottage Grove.
NW.
SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL
This is a limited appraisal, in that the valuation does not include the entire property.
The contributory value of the building improvements does not change as a result of the
proposed permanent easement acquisitions. Consequently, only the land component is
appraised. The only valuation applied to improvements on the property is the impact
on landscaping and other site improvements due the acquisition and road
reconstruction. The damage to the site improvements is measured either by the
reduction in their value contribution to the property or the cost to correct deficiencies
caused by the acquisition.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 2
The subject land is appraised on a "before and after" basis. Opinions of market value
are developed reflecting the property as it exists before the acquisition and road
project, and in its remainder state after the acquisition. The difference between the
before and after values comprises the value damages to the land. Damages to site
improvements are added to arrive at a total amount of value damages, or Just
MOM
Compensation, due to the property owner as a result of the acquisition.
The subject land before and after market value opinions have been developed by
processing the Direct Sales Comparison Approach, which involves the comparison of
recently sold, similar tracts of land to the subject property. Neither the Cost
Approach nor the Income Approach appraisal techniques are applicable, since
typically their use becomes pertinent only when there are building improvements being
appraised. The completion of the appraisal has involved the research and assemblage
of pertinent information from county and city departments; sellers and buyers involved
in specific researched land sale transactions; brokers/agents involved in the marketing
of properties in the project area vicinity; and reference to abstracted sale information
retained in our office files. For analysis of site improvements value damages, cost
information has been obtained from reference to the Marshall Valuation Service and
Architects Contractors Engineers Guide to Construction Costs publications, as well as
from discussions with personnel at local nurseries and tree moving companies.
Per agreement with the client, the appraisal is presented in a summary report format
under the requirements of Standards Rule 2-2(b) of the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice. The property description, analysis and valuation
process are presented in an abbreviated manner in this report. Additional notes, data,
analyses and other documentation supporting the appraisal are retained in the office
appraisal file.
DATES OF INSPECTION AND VALUATION
The effective date of the estimates of land value and property value damages is
December 7, 2005, the last date on which the property was inspected. On November
18, 2005, Paul Gleason and Roger Rohrer, the authors of this report, met at the
property with Pastor Jonathon Leach of Christ The Lord Evangelical Lutheran Church,
the subject property owner, and two church members. At this time, the appraisal
assignment and proposed acquisitions were discussed, and an inspection of the
property was made. An additional inspection of the exterior of the property was made
on December 7, 2005.

COMMUNITY/AREA DESCRIPTION
Community: The City of Cottage Grove is a suburb of the Minneapolis/St. Paul,
Minnesota metropolitan area, located in the southeastern portion of Washington
County, approximately 12 miles southeast of downtown St. Paul. The estimated 2004
population of 31,774 reflects a 3.9% increase over the 2000 Census figure of 30,582
and a 38.5% increase over the 1990 Census figure of 22,935. The city has a
—. substantial amount of land available for development and expects to grow in
population at a relatively rapid rate for many years.
The main traffic artery passing through Cottage Grove is U.S. Hwy. 61, which
provides connections to other parts of the Twin Cities as well as major freeways,
including I-494 about three miles to the northwest. Hwy. 61 was recently rebuilt to a
freeway-style, restricted-access design from I-494 to the south, and continues with this
design through Cottage Grove. The bridge carrying I-494 traffic across the
Mississippi River between Newport and South St. Paul is currently being widened and
rebuilt, with anticipated completion in 2008. Both of these improvements will have a
major positive impact on access to Cottage Grove and its attractiveness for
development of all types.
Cottage Grove has a sizable, developing industrial park and two major retail areas,
both at Hwy. 61 interchanges. The next major growth area for the city is the East
Ravine area near the eastern city limits, which is a master-planned area of 4,000 acres
to be developed over the next 15 to 20 years with a mix of residential and commercial
uses. The first phase of development is planned to commence by the beginning of
NMI
2007.
Area: The subject is located in the East Ravine area of Cottage Grove, which
comprises a strip of land extending in a north-south direction along Keats Ave.
(County Rd. 19), near the eastern city limits, which is formed by Manning Ave. (State
Hwy. 95). The area contains a relatively steep ravine that drains south into the
Mississipi River, but also contains a substantial amount of level farm land. Much of
the ravine area, which lies east of Keats Ave., is contained within the Cottage Grove
Ravine Regional Park.
The East Ravine area is adjacent east and southeast of the current developed area of
the city, and is slated to accommodate further expansion of the urban area in the near
future, as described above. The predominant land use in the subject immediate area is
agricultural, and the predominant land use in the adjoining developed area is single-
family residential. There is a newer neighborhood commercial node located at the
southwest corner of Keats Ave. and 70th St., around which are newer townhouses in
addition to single-family homes.
The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Keats Ave. and 90th St. S.,
which currently terminates at Keats Ave. but extends west into developed residential
areas, about a half mile to the west. Farm land adjoins the property to the north, west
_ and south. Across Keats Ave. to the east is the Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park,
which is largely in a natural state with grassy fields, trails, and thickly wooded areas
which extend east and downward into the ravine area.

LAND DESCRIPTION PRIOR TO ACQUISITION
Land Area: 214,370 square feet or 4.921 acres, net of existing roadway easement
_ areas for the north half of 90th St. and the west half of Keats Ave. Land area is based
on dimensions shown on county plat map and is subject to survey.
Shape: Rectangular.
Topography: Generally level, at grade, more or less, with fronting streets.
Ground Cover: Typical lawn and landscaping improvements, together with building
and parking areas.
Utilities: Currently, electricity, natural gas and telephone are immediately available.
Water service is located about four-tenths of a mile to the west. A sanitary sewer
interceptor line runs through the south part of the property, making this utility
physically immediately available. However, the property is outside the current
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and therefore can not be developed with
urban services at this time. The property is located in a MUSA expansion area which
is slated to be opened up for development within the next three to four years,
according to the city planning department.
Access: Available along the north side of 90th St. S., about 100 feet east of the west
property boundary. Ninetieth St. in this location is an older 2-lane rural design
roadway with bituminous paved lanes, narrow gravel shoulders and no curb/gutter. On
the north side is a bituminous walking/biking path. No direct access is available to
Keats Ave., on which the subject east boundary fronts. Keats Ave. is a two-lane minor
arterial roadway with bituminous paved lanes and shoulders, with no curb/gutter.
Visibility: Relatively good visibility characteristics. Keats Ave., which flanks the
east side of the property, is a minor arterial with 2004 average traffic counts estimated
by Mn/DOT at 7,000 vehicles per day in the subject location.
Soils/Environmental: No soil test borings have been submitted which would indicate
subsoil composition. For the purpose of this analysis, the site is appraised assuming
adequate subsoil conditions to support normal development. Also, for this analysis, it
is assumed that there are no known or suspected subsoil contaminants within the
subject site which would adversely affect its value; no such items are apparent.
Wetlands: Reference to wetlands maps and a visual inspection of the land indicates
there are no wetlands present.
Easements: Typical utility easements assumed to exist along property edges. Also,
the north 43 feet of the south 50 feet of the site, excluding the existing roadway
easement area, is encumbered with a sanitary sewer easement in favor of the
Metropolitan Council. Referred to as the Metropolitan Council Environmental
-- Services or MCES easement, this encumbered area contains a sanitary sewer
interceptor line. The easement covers 20,855 square feet (0.48 acre) or 9.7% of the
total land area.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE ACQUIRED
Project Description
The subject property is located in a master-planned future development area known as
the East Ravine neighborhood. The area is slated for gradual development over the
MOM next 15 to 20 years. The first phase, at the north end of the neighborhood in the
northwest quadrant of Keats Ave. and 70th St., is scheduled for development
commencement around the beginning of 2007. The subject property is located in the
second phase area, in the south part of the neighborhood, which is scheduled for
development commencing in about three to four years. However, Washington County
plans to construct a service center in the subject immediate area, to the east across
_ Keats Ave., in 2006. The service center construction requires the construction of a
section of Ravine Pkwy., a new boulevard that is a component of the area development
master plan.
Ravine Pkwy., when entirely finished, will traverse the entire East Ravine
neighborhood. The roadway will extend east from Keats Ave. at 90th St., curving to
the north along and across the ravine area, crossing 70th St., and then it will curve
westward, crossing Keats Ave. and extending west near the north city limits to the
existing developed area of Cottage Grove. Part of the existing section of 90th St.
extending due west from Keats Ave. eventually will be realigned and renamed Ravine
Pkwy. as well, meeting the western part of 90th St. about a quarter mile southwest of
the existing intersection with Keats Ave.
In 2006, the City of Cottage Grove plans to construct/reconstruct the first section of
Ravine Pkwy. The roadway path includes the existing section of 90th St. extending
about a quarter mile west of Keats Ave., as well as a new section east of Keats Ave.
which curves northward about 1,100 feet along the westerly side of the new county
government service center. At the intersection with Keats Ave., the path of existing
90th St. will need to be shifted somewhat to the north to properly align with the new
section of parkway east of Keats Ave. This requires the acquisition of additional road
right of way from the south and southeast portions of the subject property. A new,
expanded storm pond encompassing the area currently used for the subject storm
ponding also is planned to accommodate the roadway storm sewer system. The storm
pond construction requires a permanent drainage/utility easement over part of the
subject property.
Proposed Acquisitions
The subject property rights necessary for acquisition by the City of Cottage Grove for
the road reconstruction project include the following:
Permanent Right-Of-Way Easement: 17,308 square feet, or 0.397 acre,
encumbering the south and southeast parts of the subject property, adjoining the entire
Ism
existing 90th St. frontage and part of the Keats Ave. frontage. The easement area is a
strip which widens from seven feet on the west to about 118 feet on the east.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 14
Of the 17,308 square feet of proposed right-of-way easement, 11,261 square feet, or
65% is currently encumbered by the MCES sewer and utility easement. The proposed
permanent easement area is generally level and open, and is improved with lawn and
part of the subject property driveway which extends north into the site.
Permanent Drainage and Utility Easement: 21,389 square feet, or 0.491 acre,
encompassing an area north of the proposed permanent right-of-way easement, east of
the subject property driveway, south of the parking lot, and west of the church signage
and Keats Ave. The easement area is nearly completely rectangular in shape, with an
exception in the northwest corner; the maximum east-west width is about 193 feet and
the maximum north-south depth is 125 feet, more or less. Part of the proposed
permanent drainage and utility easement area contains the existing storm water pond
for the subject property. Topography is a mix of downward sloping, lower-elevation
and generally level areas. Improvements in the encumbrance area include lawn and
three hardwood trees, located on the northerly edge, which range in height between 10
and 18 feet. Of the 21,389 square feet of proposed right-of-way easement, 2,596
square feet or 12% is currently encumbered by the MCES sewer and utility easement.
The city proposes to construct in the easement area a larger and in some places deeper
storm water pond than the current one used by the church. The pond will cover most
of the easement limits, will have 4:1 downward slopes toward the center, and will have
a maximum depth of about five feet. Natural vegetation will be added to lawn
improvements to maintain the integrity of the sloped areas. The new pond will collect
runoff from the church property as well as parts of the new roadway sections and other
impervious surfaces in the city right of way. According to the city's consulting
engineering firm, Short Elliot Hendrickson, the subject property share of the pond

LAND DESCRIPTION AFTER ACQUISITION
Usable Land Area/Utility
After the proposed acquisition, the subject land net usable area, excluding all road
right of way, will be reduced by about 8%, from 4.921 to 4.524 acres, as a result of the
new permanent right-of-way easement. Of this amount, 0.491 acre or 11% will be
encumbered with a permanent drainage and utility easement which will contain a storm
Maw
water pond. It is noted that 65% of this easement area will continue to fulfill the
drainage requirements already existing for the subject property, and only 35% will be
needed for additional drainage from city-owned impervious surfaces. However, the
easement as a whole represents a formal and permanent land use restriction in an area
which previously could essentially be used for any allowable purpose the owner
desired. The encumbrance results in a loss of use flexibility on the part of the
property owner, immediately after the acquisition and indefinitely into the future.

PAGE 15
Though the portion of the drainage and utility easement area serving the storm
ponding needs of the subject property still offers significant utility, the portion used
—
by the city contributes no utility or value to the property. If the land were vacant and
the property were to be developed with housing, the permanent drainage-easement area
could not be used to fulfill density or minimum lot size requirements.
Shape
— The proposed acquisitions result in a remainder usable area (that which can be built
upon) with a significantly irregular shape, relative to the regular/rectangular shape in
the before position. The remainder land area north of the right-way easement and east
of the drainage easement is rather narrow and isolated from the balance of the site,
resulting in a reduction in development utility due to change in shape.
— Site Improvements
Site improvements affected by the proposed acquisition from a value perspective
— include the following:
• Lawn and driveway improvements located in the permanent right-of-way easement
area. Some will be permanently lost due to the widening and reconstruction of
the roadway, and some will be restored, but they will be located in a public road
right-of-way area and essentially be out of the possession and control of the
— underlying fee owner.
• 3 planted hardwood trees located in the permanent drainage and utility easement
— area. The location in the easement results in the potential for the trees to be
damaged or destroyed either during construction of the storm pond or as a result
of being flooded with water at times when the pond fills.
— There also are some lawn improvements in the drainage/utility easement area.
However, the storm pond to be constructed in the encumbrance, according to the
city engineering consulting firm, will be nicely landscaped with lawn, natural
_. vegetation and other materials which will be at least as appealing as the
improvements now in this area. Unlike the right-of-way easement area, the
drainage easement area will allow shared use and possession between the subject
property and the city for storm ponding purposes and thus no loss in site
improvements contributory value, other than the trees, is in evidence.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
WNW
The term highest and best use is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,
fourth edition, published by the Appraisal Institute, page 135, as:
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an
improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately
supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest
value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are
legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and
maximum profitability.
Highest and Best Use Prior to Acquisition
If Vacant: The subject land comprises a generally level, open, rectangular
shaped tract located at the northwest corner of 90th St. and Keats Ave. in Cottage
Grove. The total area of the site, excluding roadway, is 4.921 acres, subject to survey.
The land immediately adjoins agricultural fields and rural residences, but is within
less than a quarter mile of the current MUSA, which comprises the edge of existing
urban development on the east side of the community. The property is within the East
Ravine neighborhood of Cottage Grove, a 4,000-acre area which is in the process
being master planned by the city for orderly, gradual development over the next 15 to
20 years. A sanitary sewer interceptor line which was recently installed in the
neighborhood has sufficient capacity to serve the area, and water service is available
in the current MUSA for extension into the neighborhood once the MUSA is expanded.
Howard Blin, the city community development director, indicated that the first phase
of development in the East Ravine master plan is the North Neighborhood, in the
northwest quadrant of 70th St. and Keats Ave. Development is scheduled to begin in
late 2006 or early 2007, approximately one year from the date of valuation. The
subject property is located in the South Neighborhood, which is on the west side of
Keats Ave. and extends for the most part from 80th St. south to U.S. Hwy. 61. Mr.
Nam
Blin indicated that development of the South Neighborhood and the subject land is
about three to four years beyond the date of valuation, which results in a probable
time line of late 2008 to late 2009 before development commences. The time lag
between development of the two neighborhoods is intended to allow the North
Neighborhood to be approximately 70% developed before the South Neighborhood is
opened up for construction.
The preliminary land use plan map, a copy of which was shown previously in this
report, is subject to change, since the city comprehensive plan is in the process of
being amended. However, Mr. Blin indicated that this plan is a reasonably accurate
representation of the final plan that is expected to be approved. The land use plan
designates the subject for Civic/Institutional use, reflecting its current use as a
church. If the site were vacant, given the imminent extension of utilities, as well as
trends in land values and demand for new homes, it is likely that the land would be
developed with uses similar to those approved/intended for adjoining land areas.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 22
-
Mow
In this case, the land use plan calls for two types of uses on adjoining land: 1) Low
Density Residential to the north and west, calling for densities between 1 and 5 units
per acre in the form of single-family homes and twin homes; and 2) Medium Density
Residential due south, calling from densities between 6 and 12 units per acre in the
N' form of row houses and townhouses. The subject site more immediately adjoins the
Low Density designated land, while the Medium Density land to the south is separated
by 90th St. (future Ravine Pkwy.). However, the site abuts Keats Ave., a well-traveled
minor arterial roadway. The proximity to this roadway makes the subject property a
better candidate for residential development toward the higher end of the probable
density range than the lower end. It is reasonable to expect that the site may be
developed with a mix of single-family homes and townhouses, given the location
factors. Such mixed development in our judgment would involve a probable density of
between approximately 4 to 5 units per acre.
It is concluded that the highest and best use of the subject land, if vacant, is to hold
for future residential development, likely to take place within three to four years, and
' likely to involve a mix of single-family homes and townhomes at a density of 4 to 5
units per acre. If the site were vacant, the most likely interim use would be
agricultural.
As Improved: The subject land is improved with a church built in
approximately 1995 and, according to the City of Cottage Grove, has a gross building
area of 5,216 square feet. The church is allowable as a conditional use under current
AG-1 zoning and is generally consistent with the highest and best use of the
underlying land. The church improvements contribute significantly to the overall
property value and the indicated highest and best use, as improved, is continuation of
the current use.
It is noted that the property contains a significant amount of currently unused land
which has the potential to be subdivided and sold to adjoining land owners, or which
could be retained to allow expansion of the church facility in the future, if desired. In
'— the absence of these two scenarios, it is likely that in the future, as land in the area
becomes developed, the value of the subject land as a vacant parcel may exceed the
value of the property with the existing church. Given this scenario, the highest and
IMO best use, from an economic perspective, would be to remove the existing improvements
and develop the site to it highest and best use, if vacant (urban residential use).
This is a likely option for the property owner in the future. However, it is not
necessarily likely that the property owner would exercise this option, the appeal of
which would be based purely on an economic/financial basis. Alternatively, if there
was a major expansion to the existing church, the financial incentive for
redevelopment of the site would diminish or cease to exist. Nonetheless, it is
recognized that there is potential for developing the subject property with urban
housing in the future as an alternative to the existing church use.
In consideration of all the above factors, it is concluded that the highest and best use
of the property, as improved, is continuation of the current church use.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 23
Highest and Best Use After Acquisition
If Vacant: In the after position, the total land area remains the same at 4.921
acres. However, the property is encumbered with an additional 0.397 acre of
permanent right-of-way easement, as well as with a new 0.491-acre permanent
drainage and utility easement, which will contain a storm water pond to be shared
between the subject property and the city. The right-of-way easement acquisition
results in a reduction of the usable land area by 8%, to 4.524 acres, of which 11%
retains some level of utility but is encumbered with the drainage easement. Some site
improvements also are impacted by the proposed acquisitions. The shape of the
buildable land area is changed from regular/rectangular to irregular.
OMB
The proposed acquisitions have an impact on the property. However, the impact is not
sufficient to change the highest and best use. The site still offers size, utility and
shape attributes favorable for urban residential development. After the proposed
acquisition, the highest and best use remains to hold for future residential
development with urban services, with a likely interim use of agricultural.
As Improved: The subject building improvements are not affected by the
permanent easement acquisitions. The church and supporting improvements will
function in the same manner as in the before position. The property will share a new
storm water pond with the city, but the drainage needs of the property will continue to
be met in the same way as before the acquisition, and the new pond will not adversely
affect the use or appeal as a church. Some site improvements will be affected by the
acquisition, and the impact is addressed in this appraisal. However, the proposed
easement encumbrances do not change the highest and best use of the property, as
improved, in the after position, which remains to be continuation of the current church
ORM
use.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 24
MARKETING/EXPOSURE TIME
The Twin Cities metro area has grown in population significantly and steadily during
the past several years. The subject property is located in the steadily and relatively
fast-growing east metro suburb of Cottage Grove. Sustained growth is expected to
_ continue and the property is located in a master-planned area slated for MUSA
expansion and urban development in the near future, factors which among others
contribute to a high level of marketability for the subject property. Based on all of
the above and the subject specific property attributes, it is our opinion that a
marketing time of approximately six to twelve months from the date of appraisal
would elapse before the property were sold at the market value estimated in this
_ appraisal. The exposure time, which reflects the amount of time the property would
have been on the market, had it sold on the date of appraisal at the value estimated
herein, is also estimated at six to twelve months.
Estimated Marketing Time: 6 to 12 Months
Estimated Exposure Time: 6 to 12 Months

LAND VALUE PRIOR TO ACQUISITION
Direct Sales Comparison Approach
Estimating the value of land involves the process of researching and analyzing recent
sales of land parcels that are reasonably comparable to the property being appraised.
The sale properties may have varying degrees of similarity to the subject in location,
size/shape, topography, soil conditions, zoning and/or highest and best use, among
other factors. An indication of value is derived by making appropriate adjustments to
allow for the value-related differences of the land sale properties in comparison to the
land parcel being appraised.
Provided on the following pages are details of four land sale properties that have been
researched and analyzed for the purpose of comparison to the subject property.

Additional Land Sale Information
The foregoing land sales are judged to be the best and most comparable to the subject
land, for which reliable data were available. Sale 1 is the most recent closed residential
land sale in Cottage Grove known to the appraisers. Discussions with various
individuals knowledgeable of the Cottage Grove real estate market revealed that several
sales of properties in the North Neighborhood of the East Ravine Pkwy. area (northwest
quadrant of 70th St. and Keats Ave.) are pending. However, the earliest closings will not
take place until the summer of 2006. No parties to these transactions were willing to
discuss prices, given the pending nature of the sales. General and anecdotal discussions
with marketplace participants resulted in the conclusion that land is going under contract
for between about $130,000 and $165,000 per acre, with the predominant prices being
toward the lower end of this range.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 31
Analysis of Land Sales — Before Taking
The comparable land sales are adjusted for value-related differences in relation to the
subject land. Upward adjustments are made to the comparable sale prices for
characteristics inferior to the subject site, and downward adjustments are made for
attributes which are superior to the subject. Following are items for which
adjustments were considered and made, where applicable and necessary:
Property Rights Conveyed: If property rights different than those appraised for
the subject property were transferred, an adjustment may be necessary (i.e., leased fee
'M vs. fee simple).
Financing: The opinions of market value in this appraisal reflect payment in
cash or cash equivalent terms. Sale 4 financing involved 3 payments over 2 years.
Sale Conditions: Consideration is given to whether transaction was arms-length
or was influenced by conditions causing buyer or seller to be atypically motivated.
Market Conditions/Time: Reflects changes in prices, if any, between date of
each comparable sale and valuation date, due to changes in market conditions. Market
demand for residential land has remained very strong during the past several years and
remains so currently, resulting in a significant, sustained rate of price appreciation.
The land sales are adjusted upward at a rate of 12% annually.
Location: Takes into account location factors such as proximity to major
access routes and shopping, visibility, surrounding development, and general area
desirability/demand.
Size: Generally, as parcel size increases, total price increases, but price per
acre typically decreases. Sale 4 requires adjustment for a significantly larger site.
Shape/Utility: Development utility is affected by shape and other factors.
Though Sale 3 comprises noncontiguous parcels, the property has superior utility,
since a lesser than typical level of work/cost outlays for development was required.
OMER
Soils/Topography: Stable subsoils needing no corrective measures for building,
and level to moderately sloping topography are preferred in the market.
Easements: A sanitary sewer line easement encumbers about 10% of the subject
property, which affects the utility of the site. A pipeline easement encumbers about
7% of Sale 1; the other comparables have no such easements.
Development Timing: The subject property will not be available for
development for at least three years, whereas Sales 1 and 2 were immediately
available. Sale 3 likely will require nearly a year from closing before utilities and
new streets are in to serve the development; Sale 4 is about two years beyond the
subject development timeline. Adjustments were made based on the assumption that
land purchased today and held for future development could be expected to appreciate
in price 5% yearly, but the future value would be discounted back to the present at the
rate of 12%.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 32
-. Zoning/Density: The higher the density (i.e., number of dwelling units per
acre) possible and/or approved for a development parcel, typically the more a
developer will pay for the land on a per-acre or per-square-foot basis.
The adjustments made to the comparable sales are shown on a grid below:

Indicated Value For $129,813 $134,648 $132,984 $132,158
Subject
After adjustments, the land sale comparables result in value indications for the subject
land ranging from $129,813 to $134,648 per acre. The average of the value
_ indications is $132,401 per acre. Excluding Sale 2, which required the most total
adjustment and a large location adjustment, narrows the value indication range and
results in an average value indication of $131,652. In our opinion, the subject land

BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 33
Allocation Of Value Between Unencumbered and MCES Easement-Encumbered
As stated, 20,855 square feet or 9.7% of the subject land is encumbered with an MCES
(Metropolitan Council Environmental Services) easement for an underground sanitary
sewer interceptor line. This land has lesser utility and desirability than the
unencumbered portion. However, it does still contribute significant value to the
overall property. Though buildings can not be constructed in the easement area, the
area contributes to setback and green space requirements, and can be applied in
development density calculations. Rear yards and parking lots often are located
within such sewer/utility easement areas.
The northern limit of the 43-foot-wide easement strip extends 50 feet into the site.
The typical required building setback from the road right of way for most residential
development in Cottage Grove is 30 feet. The south 23 feet of the MCES easement, or
11,155 square feet of the total is within the building setback area. This area can not
contain buildings with or without the easement in place. It is concluded that in this
part of the easement area, the land has a rate of contributory value which is about 65%
of that of the unencumbered land.
The north 20 feet of the MCES easement is beyond the 30-foot setback area. This
portion would be buildable if not for the easement, so the land has a reduced level of
utility and contributory value. However, the land still can be used for density, yard
space, parking lots, etc. It is concluded that in this part of the easement area, the land
has a rate of contributory value which is about 50% of that of the unencumbered land.
Based on the above conclusions, the overall land value opinion of $3.03 per square
foot is allocated as shown below:

IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTY VALUE DAMAGE ITEMS
Permanent Right-Of-Way Easement
Loss of 17,308 square feet (0.397 acre) of land. Equivalent to a fee taking, since the
encumbered area offers no utility to the subject property underlying fee ownership,
other than for public right of way. Of the new right-of-way acquisition area, 6,047
square feet is previously unencumbered subject land, and 11,261 square is land already
encumbered by the MCES easement. Of this amount, 8,271 square feet is within the
30-foot setback area and 2,990 square feet is beyond the setback.
Permanent Drainage and Utility Easement
Partial loss in utility of 21,389 square feet (0.491 acre) of land to be encumbered with
an easement pertaining to the new storm water pond to be constructed by the city. Of
the new permanent drainage/utility easement acquisition area, 18,793 square feet is
previously unencumbered subject land, and 2,596 square is land already encumbered
by the MCES easement. Of this amount, 270 square feet is within the 30-foot setback
area and 2,326 square feet is beyond the setback.
Dividing the easement area from another perspective is the fact that 65% of the shared
storm pond and encumbrance area (13,903 square feet) will serve the existing drainage
needs of the subject property, and the remaining 35% (7,486 square feet) will serve
the city needs.
Subject Property Portion Of Easement Area: In essence, 65% of the new
drainage/utility easement replaces the area which already had been used by the church
for storm ponding purposes and therefore this land continues to offer significant
utility. However, there is a loss in property rights, given the imposition by the city of
the permanent easement.
Imo
In the before position, the area now comprising 65% of the permanent drainage/utility
easement encumbrance served the subject property ponding needs for the existing
church, and this area appears to be a logical place for a storm pond given the layout of
the site. However, there were no restrictions necessitating using this area only for
ponding. If an expansion was to be made to the church or, alternatively, if the site
was vacant and planned for development with housing, it would have been possible to
locate the storm ponding area elsewhere on the site, if this maximized the development
utility and appeal of the property. In the after position, the current ponding area is
essentially fixed, resulting in a loss of flexibility for locating the storm pond function
on the site in alternative ways.
The city consulting engineering firm did indicate that there is enough available and
unimproved land area in the vicinity of the proposed permanent drainage/utility
easement to meet current drainage needs for both the church and city, and to allow
expansion of the storm pond to accommodate a future expansion of the church
building. Therefore, the easement does not preclude expansion on the property per se.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 35
City Portion Of Easement Area: The 35% share of the permanent easement
which will serve the city has no utility or contributory value to the subject property in
the after position. This area can not contain buildings, nor can it be used to fulfill
density or minimum lot size requirements associated with the use and/or development
of the property. The city portion of the easement offers utility only to serve the
drainage needs of the city. Consequently, this portion of the permanent easement is
equivalent to a fee taking.
Site Improvements
Permanent Right-Of-Way Easement Area: The contributory value of the
driveway section and lawn surface located in this encumbrance area has been lost as a
result of the acquisition. The city has virtually complete control and possession of the
land covered by this permanent easement and all improvements upon it, even though
the subject property ownership remains the underlying fee owner.
Permanent Drainage and Utility Easement Area: Three planted trees ranging
between 10 and 18 feet in height are presumed lost due to the their location in this
BIM
encumbrance area. The trees are located at the northerly edge of the easement area
but may be lost during construction and/or are subject to destruction from flooding at
times when the storm pond reaches its peak capacity.
There also is lawn area located in the drainage/utility easement area. However, no
loss is evident for any impact the easement and storm pond construction may have on
this lawn area. The new storm pond will be attractively landscaped with lawn, natural
vegetation and other appropriate materials, and offer at least the same level of appeal
as the existing pond area. Moreover, unlike the permanent right-of-way easement
area, the drainage/utility easement area will be an integral part of the subject property
and be available for at least partial enjoyment by the property ownership, since 65% of
the area will benefit the subject property.
Severance Damage
There is some severance damage noted due to the proposed permanent easement
acquisitions. The severance damage is limited to the land only and does not extend to
the improvements. In the after position, the land serving the subject storm pond
function will be more restricted as a result of the drainage/utility easement, as
discussed on previous pages, since it will not be available for an alternative use as it
was in the after position. Also, in the after position, the usable/buildable area of the
site will be more irregular given the presence of both the right-of-way and
drainage/utility easements, which extend north and northwest into the central and
southeast portions of the property. The easements leave a relatively small, isolated
"- area of land at the southeast corner of the unencumbered remainder which has reduced
development utility, given setbacks and other restrictions.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 36
LAND VALUE AFTER ACQUISITION
Land Not Encumbered With Any Easements
In the before acquisition position, the subject land located outside the MCES easement
and completely unencumbered by any other significant easements was concluded to
contribute to the total land value at the rate of $3.159 per square foot. In the after
position, it is concluded there is a slight diminution in value of this land due to the
more irregular shape of the usable/buildable area caused by the presence and location
.— of the permanent right-of-way and drainage/utility easements. The primary impacted
land is in the extreme southeast corner, which is about 4% of the unencumbered
remainder. It is reasonable to conclude that this area has experienced about a 50%
reduction in value due to reduced utility. Consequently, the overall unencumbered
area has lost about 2% in value (50% x 4%), and thus the unencumbered remainder
land has a contributory value which is 98% of the before-taking value or $3.096
_ per square foot ($3.159 per square foot x 98%).
Land Encumbered With MCES Easement
In the before acquisition position, the contributory value of this land to the overall
property value was concluded to be $2.053 per square foot for the portion in the 30-
- foot setback area and $1.580 per square foot for the part beyond the setback area.
These values are judged to be the same in the after position. The change in shape
of the subject usable/buildable land area does not impact the MCES easement area,
since it is already significantly encumbered and is located along the south fringe of
the parcel.
-- Land Encumbered With Permanent Right-Of-Way Easement
As previously discussed, this easement is equivalent to a fee taking from a value
perspective. Therefore, the land with this encumbrance has no contributory value in
the after position.
Land Encumbered With Permanent Drainage/Utility Easement
City Portion (35%): As previously discussed, this part of the drainage/utility
easement, 35% of the total, is equivalent to a fee taking from a value perspective.
Therefore, the land with this encumbrance to be used by the city for storm ponding
purposes has no contributory value in the after position.
BRKW APPRAISALS, INC. PAGE 37
Subject Property Portion (65%): This part of the drainage/utility easement
still retains significant utility and contributory value, since it will continue to serve
the subject property storm ponding functions. However, as previously discussed, it is
recognized that some property rights have been taken. There is a permanent loss of
the fee owner's ability to put the encumbered land to an alternate use, if this were
desired during expansion of the church facility or for redeveloping the site with a
residential use. After considering the impact of the restriction and the likelihood of
an alternate use scenario arising for this land area currently used for storm ponding, it
is concluded that the subject property portion of the drainage/utility easement area has
been reduced in value by 15%, relative to the before position, as a result of the
encumbrance. Therefore, this land area has a contributory value which is 85% of
the before-taking value.
It is noted that the permanent drainage/utility easement covers parts of the subject
land which previously 1) were not encumbered with any easements, 2) were
encumbered with the MCES easement in the 30-foot setback area, and 3) were
encumbered with the MCES easement beyond the setback. The before values for these
land types were $3.159, $2.053 and $1.580 per square foot, respectively. Multiplying
these values by 85% results in after-position values of $2.685, $1.745, and $1.343 per
square foot, respectively.

SITE IMPROVEMENTS DAMAGES
Driveway and Concrete Curb
As previously discussed, part of the subject property driveway is located in the new
right of way and is essentially lost to the property ownership as a result of the
permanent right-of-way easement acquisition. Part of the driveway in the new right
way is flanked by concrete curb and gutter. This driveway section is almost new,
since it was rebuilt when the MCES interceptor line was installed about two years ago.
The estimated cost new is reduced by approximately 10% depreciation, as shown
below:

Estimated Value of Lost Driveway/Curbing: $500
Lawn Area/Sod
There is approximately 1,730 square yards of lawn area in the new right of way,
comprising a sod cover, which essentially is lost to the property ownership as a result
of the permanent right-of-way easement acquisition. The contributory value is
measured as the cost to install, estimated at $2.50 per square yard.
1,730 yards x $2.50 per yard = $4,325
rounded to
Estimated Value of Lost Sod: $4,300
Trees
There are three planted hardwood trees located toward the northerly edge of the
permanent easement area, ranging in height between 10 and 18 feet, and in trunk
diameter between two and six inches. The trees are small enough to be moved
relatively short distances to places where they are outside the easement area but will
continue to offer aesthetic, screening and shade functions for the property. Based on
the size and number of trees, the estimated moving cost is $150 per tree. Added to
this is an allowance for the risk that one or more trees may not survive the move.
