WA 9622 OW 733 -1140 011ne W)733 1932 Fm September 7, 2000 Mr. Roger DeSpain Whatcom County Parks 3373 Mt. Baker Highway Bellingham, WA 98226 I2t_ Site Vacation— Property adjacent to Graham Store Dear Mr. Roger DeSpain, In accordance with your request I have completed in appraisal of a strip of and located adjacent to the Graham Store in Glacier Washington. The purpose of this appraisal report is to estimate the fair market value of the subject property as of September 1, 2000. Market value is defined by the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, as, "the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, 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: a. Buyer and seller are typically motivated; b. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he considers his own best interest; c. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and e. 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." The following are a few brief comments about the subject property directly related to market value. LOCATION: The subject property is located approximately 35 minutes northeast of downtown Bellingham, Washington, in the small community of Glacier. This is a mixed -use neighborhood improved with average quality homes and several small commercial enterprises. The subject property is located off the Mt. Baker Highway and behind the Graham Store which is the local store mid restaurant in Glacier. The subject area is near the Mt. Baker National Forest and Recreational Area, which is a strong draw for the area. The area is generally well maintained and the pride of ownership is rated average. Shopping facilities, public schools, and public parks are within an acceptable driving distance and noise is not a problem. 'There are many attractive territorial views from the subject neighborhood. No adverse area factors were noted. SITE DATA: A rectangular shaped tract measuring 50 feet by 200 feet. Total land area is estimated to be 10,000 square feet. This tract is currently a pan of the tract owned by the Whatcom County Parks and is adjacent to die ownership of Gary Graham. This Graham ownership is Whatcom County Parcel Number 390707417527. A plot plan of the subject property is in the attached Addenda. The Graham property is zoned Resort Commercial and it is assumed (or the purpose of this appraisal report that the subject properly will be attached to the Graham tract and that this subject property would assume the same zoning of the Graham parcel of Resort Commercial. HIGHEST AND BEST USE! Highest and best use is described as the most profitable likely use for which the property may be legally used, and for which there is a current market In estimating highest and best use, a property's utility is normally controlled by various governmental regulations, present use, or the attitude of the investors. The subject tract, which is along narrow strip, would not be suitable for development on it's own. Therefore the highest and best use of the subject tract is thought to be consolidation with an abutting tract. PROPERTY VALUATION: A search has been made of the subject neighborhood and competing residential neighborhoods for reasonably similar sites which could be compared to the subject property, allowances for differences made, and an estimate of value established. The following sales were employed in this valuation process. Parcel Number 390706- 428046 Sale Date 2/00 Sale Price $9,000 zoning RC Land Area 16,500 Price Per Sq. Ft. $ 55 390706395013 1"a $15,000 RC 9,486 $1.58 390706401045 9N5 $19,200 RC 20,000 $ 96 390906- 395013 10194 $33,000 RC 33,500 $.99 390707410497 2N4 $10,000 RC 8,000 $1.25 The five comparable site sales are located in the same specific neighborhood as the subject property and each of the five sales is reasonably similar to the subject site in terms of appeal. All five sales have the same Resort Commercial Zoning as the Graham Property. Each of the five comparable sales was an unimproved site as of (be date of sale. These are the five most recent sales of similarly zoned property in the Glacier neighborhood mid these five sales are thought to give an accurate picture of the real estate market in the Glacier neighborhood. After a review of the subject tract and the five comparable site sales, I believe die market will support a value for the subject property at a value of $.90 per square foot of land area. This value estimate develops the following site value. Square Feet X Value Per Square Foot = Site Value 10,000 s.f. X 5.90 = $9,000 FINAL SITE VALUE ESTIMATE - -- $9.00 I hereby certify that I have no present nor contemplated future interest in the property appraised, eo u y milled, Hal u, Appraiser iser r \ PLAT MAP 0 R` tla y��yjj o n C CE NTR.IC 46 E s�9s� a 'A .-y W•y T cC L BnU Wr+l� ,A O e O e a Y W. 4Nt ST ➢ t V.c GHN �� y. i m. v u c • .z r ;c n 3 � � 3 � +y A CJ? i 61� �� Y JI I tiY�Y N;➢ Di Y D }i N P,kt'OPJ 1 S%D%o% aGSS6G — Subject Photo Page aum.uat.r suo mace s nee cmu~n raax m rwaem� rmmeaum , Lo wm vr. vD UU* au Subject Front Subject gear Subject Interior rum ncva.0 — �oru z000 w wmwr mwaa wmvae M . n mom. k. - i. aao-uuna>F QUALIFICATIONS OF APPRAISER HAL G.
