WA 98135 @DV3a1140 011ee 13WI733 -1932 fn September 7, 2000 Mr. Roger DeSpain Whatcom County Parks 3373 Mt Baker Highway Bellingham, WA 98226 Re'. 911c VAC110011 - Properly adjacent to 61,1111111 Store Dear Mr_ Rogcr DeSp11111. In accordance with your request I have completed an appraisal of a strip of land located adjacent to the Gmham Store in Glacier Washington. The purpose of this appraisal report is to estimate tine fair market value of the subject property as of September I, 2000. Markel 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; of 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 and 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 recmngular shaped tract measuring 50 feet by 200 feet. Total land area is estimated to be 10,000 square feet. This tract is currently a part of the tract owned by the Whateom County Parks and is adjacent to the 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. Ilic Graham property is zonal Resort Commercial and it is assumed for the Purpose of this appraisal report that rho subject property will be attached to the Graham tract and that this subject property would assume the same zoning of the Gaham parcel of Resort Commercial. HIGHEST AND BEST OSE• Highest and best use is described as die 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 tact, which is along narrow strip, would not be suitable for development on it's own. Therefore the highest and but use of the subject tact is thought to be consolidation with an abutting but 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- 390706428046 2/00 ,500 S 55 390706395013 390906401 045 11 /98 9195 SITE VALUE ESTIMATE ---- - - - - -- =RC16,500 486 ,000 3158 S 96 390906 - 395013 POW 3,500 5.99 390907410497 2/94 8,000 51.25 "fhc five comparable site sales arc located in the same specific neighborhood as We subject property and each of the five sales is reasonably similar to One subject site in terns 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 the date of sale. These are the five most recent sales of similarly zoned property in the Glacier neighborhood and 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 Feel X Value Per Square Fool = Site Value 10,000 s.f X $.90 = $9,000 FINAL SITE VALUE ESTIMATE ---- - - - - -- $9.000 1 hereby certify that 1 have no present nor contemplated future interest or the property appraised. ee u y milted, Had ra G. m n, ` Appraiser \ QUALIFICATIONS OF APPRAISER HAL G.
