RE: Parcel 7, Oak Street Acquisitions.
Dear Mr. Becken-Gaddo:
In response to the contract located in the addenda of the sales catalog, I have prepared an
appraisal of the above referenced property. The appraisal references data in this project
report/sales catalog and access to that document is completely necessary to understand the
analysis and conclusions contained herein.
Typically, the purpose of an appraisal for PUE is for estimating the current fair market value, before
the imposition of the road easement, its current fair market value after imposition of the road
easement, and an estimate of compensation due to the property owner. In the case of the subject
property, this is a total acquisition of the site. Therefore, there is no requirement for a before and
after analysis. This is simply the value of the entire property as a whole, owned in fee simple. I
assume no responsibility for matters that are legal in nature nor do I render an opinion as to title.
The subject site contains a gross site area of 10.03 acres located at the southeast corner of Davis
Lane and West Oak Street. This is a rectangular shaped tract level and at grade with the
surrounding streets and properties. Access is from Oak Street that sets the northerly boundary of
the subject property. The property is currently zoned SRR by Gallatin County and is located in
flood zone X which is an area of minimal flood hazard. FEMA panel 30031C0804D effective
September 2 of 2011 is a non-printed panel.
Under general requirements, the appraisal has been prepared in conformance with the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The appraisal of the subject will present
my findings and conclusion of the “as is” fee simple market value of the property as of the date
of final inspection. Specific reference to the issue of competency is required. It is recognized
that Nicholas J. Hogan, MAI has adequate current, practical experience in the appraisal of vacant
land and subdivision properties in Western Montana. As such, I believe I am competent to
provide this appraisal service.

Based on the request from the client, this appraisal represents a total acquisition of the subject
property. There is no requirement for a before and after analysis. This will simply be an
analysis of the full acquisition of the property. Given this is a fee acquisition, there is no
requirement for a before/after analysis. The map below outlines the impact to the subject
property given the proposed roadway. The city believes the remainder property to have some
development challenges that my limit the development opportunities. For this reason they
believe a complete acquisition is favorable to both parties and the owners are open to a complete
acquisition.

Based upon my investigations, studies and analyses, my opinion of the fee simple market value
of the subject site, in its' "as is” condition, considering the assumptions and limiting conditions
discussed herein and as of October 20, 2015 to be:
SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
($764,600.00)
Your attention is invited to the data found within the body of this report as well as the sales
catalog which is the foundation of this conclusion. The analysis and conclusions contained
herein require the sales catalog for a complete understanding and compliance with USPAP. I
wish to thank you for this opportunity; should you find need of this firm's services again, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
Professionally yours,

RECORD OWNER/SALES HISTORY
According to the records of the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder's Office, the subject
ownership is shown as William H. and Betty Anne Sippel Trust. The subject property has been
under that ownership for a time period exceeding 3 years.
I met the owner’s real estate agent and representative on site at the owner’s request. I did not
have the opportunity to interview the property owners for this assignment. I also did not have
the opportunity to view the property on site. The owners requested that the physical inspection
of the site be done from public roadways. All photographs were taken from and the inspection
completed from public roadways.
I have made the extraordinary assumption there are no onsite issues that impact value or
usability of the subject property. The real estate agent and the owner representative were
interviewed relative to onsite issues and noted there is nothing of import.
The subject property was listed by a local realtor on November 14, 2014 at a price of $800,000.
That was a one year listing that did not result in a sale. The property was not placed on the MLS
system but did have a signed listing agreement. There was one “low ball” offer that was not
even considered but the agent would not confirm the offer price. There were no other offers or
anything of import during this one year agreement. The property was not re-listed after the
expiration in November of 2015.
HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
The subject property has historically been vacant land. There have been no improvements to the site.
LOCATION OF PROPERTY
The subject property is located along the south side of Oak Street, immediately south of Davis Lane.
The property does not have frontage to Davis Lane, only Oak Street. .
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
According to information provided the subject property is legally described as:
S02, T02 S, R05 E, ACRES 10.03, TR 4 W2W2SW4
TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The subject property taxes are shown at a total of $1,989.79 for 2014. That is at $198.38 per
acre on an annual basis.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The following definition of Highest and Best Use is taken from The Appraisal Institute, "The
Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition."
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that 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 productivity. Alternately, the probable use of land or improved property - specific with respect
to the user and timing of the use - that is adequately supported and results in the highest present value."
As taken from this same source, the definitions of highest and best use of land or a site as
though vacant and the definition of highest and best use of property as improved are
presented for clarity of discussion.
AS VACANT:
"Among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land value, after payments
are made for labor, capital, and coordination. The use of a property based on the assumption that the
parcel of land is vacant or can be made vacant by demolishing any improvements."
AS IMPROVED:
"The use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing improvement should be renovated or
retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value of the property, or until the
return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and
constructing a new one."
Implied is that the determination of Highest and Best Use results from the appraiser’s
interpretation of market evidence; e.g. that the use determined from analysis represents an
interpretative opinion and not a fact to be found. In appraisal practice, the concept of Highest
and Best Use requires the appraiser give consideration to any and all uses to which the property
was capable of being adapted. Consideration must be given these uses, recognizing the
limitations imposed first by governmental regulations such as zoning ordinances, building codes
and health standards and secondly, by the attitudes of the typical investors in real property of this
type in the area encompassing the subject property.
The land value is based on a premise of the Highest and Best Use of the property as though
vacant. There are four tests which are considered in developing an opinion as to the Highest and
Best Use of the property. These four tests include an examination of uses that are physically
possible, legally permissible, financially feasible and maximally productive.
There are five general uses which are considered. These include residential, commercial,
industrial, agricultural and recreational.
Within the Montana marketplace we have found it more prudent to begin the analysis with
legally possible since this helps refine the analysis quite quickly.

Legally Permissible:
The subject property is zoned SRR which is a semi-rural residential zone. This zone is intended to
provide for the continuation of existing agricultural pursuits, while also allowing for limited
residential development. It is also the intent of this zone that new residential development be
designed to minimize impacts upon nearby agricultural uses, and that residential development be
designed to interface with nearby agricultural operations.
Essentially, several broad use categories can be eliminated as a result of the zoning issue. The
intent of the zoning is not to promote heavy industrial use within this zone. A strict agricultural
utility of this property would be illogical given the size of the property, the location, and the
changings economics of the area. Simply, the use of this property for heavy industrial or
agricultural utility is unlikely.
The same is true of recreational use given that the property has no attributes that would lead
toward specific recreational amenities. Therefore, the consideration of open space or parkland is
not requisite or probable. There are no influences that would imply a highest and best use for
recreational development. There is no demand or legally permissible commercial use at this
location. Therefore a strict commercial use or utility is highly unlikely for this property. The
zoning leads toward a residential use.
Physically Possible:
The subject represents a gross site area that has no deductions for right-of-way easements, etc.
with no floodplain areas associated. The subject property is rectangular in shape and has
frontage to Oak Street which sets the northerly boundary. Utilities availability has shown no
physical limitations for the historical use. Sewer and water are located in close proximity but not
to the property boundaries and are not hooked up. Extension and hookup to those services would
require annexation into the city of Bozeman. The property does have access to electricity,
natural gas, telephone service and private garbage collection.
The terrain is generally level and at-grade with the surrounding roadways although it is an
observed condition that the property is not table top flat. This is not a significant detail. The site
is rectangular in shape and this does not lead to a significant limitation to development. It is
consistent with this market. Based on this discussion, the subject property has no physical
characteristics that would limit the type of residential uses possible for the site.
Financially Feasible/Maximally Productive:
The subject property would have an obvious implication for highest and best use correlated to
the legal permissible and physically possible expectations. This subject zoning is SRR which is
a semi-rural residential zone. That is a county zoning and the majority of the surrounding
neighborhood is located within the city. The community plan future land use for the subject is
shown as residential.

The above photograph outlines the city limits of Bozeman. As can be seen the subject and
several properties adjacent are located outside of the city limits. The majority of the properties
in the subject’s immediate neighborhood are located within city limits.
The city of Bozeman capital planning map is shown above. The subject property is located
within a residential community plan future land use area. Therefore the long-term expectation of
this property is for residential and very likely residential subdivision.
204
Hall – Widdoss & Company, P.C.
17
The photograph above shows the subject is generally surrounded by relatively intense single-
family residential subdivisions. There are open pockets of land including the subject, the parcel
adjacent to the west as well as parcels located to the south. There are also pockets of open space
to the west and northwest of the subject. While there are vacant properties adjacent to the
subject, there are dense subdivisions located east, south, and west of the subject property.
Given the fact the majority of the property surrounding the subject is located within the city there
is little doubt this property will be annexed at some point. With that said there are remaining
agricultural and rural residential properties in this neighborhood, including the subject, as well as
the sites located directly to the east and west of the subject. There are several sales in the
subject’s immediate area that are similar to the subject in terms of redevelopment potential.
The highest and best use of the subject is for an interim use until a higher density development
occurs. The most likely buyer would come from two likely groups. An end-user who would
immediately utilize the property to its highest and best use is a possibility. The other possibility
is a speculative buyer who would purchase the property with no intention of immediately using
the property under the current highest and best use, or residential development. At the current
time it’s unknown which a buyer group is a more likely purchaser of the subject property.

The subject property was listed at the time of the inspection for $800,000. That listing is no
longer in MLS as of the report date. That list price amounted to $1.83 per sq.ft. Overall, that is
generally supported by the analysis in the grid shown above. The six sales produced a range of
adjusted indications from a low of $1.29 per sq.ft. to an upper end of $2.33 per square foot.
Sale No. 1 is a smaller parcel with a city R – 1 zoning. This indication is shown at $1.72 per
sq.ft. and is not emphasized in the final analysis given the size and zoning differences. Sale No.
11 is an older sale that had a significant market conditions adjustment. That produced an
indication of $2.30 per sq.ft. Based on the February 2011 sale date, that sale is not emphasized
to the same degree as the remainder of the information.
Sale No. 3 is located directly west of the subject property. This property will have frontage to
Oak Street on the northerly boundary when oak is extended west of Flanders Mill Road.
Currently this property has access from Durston Road to Flanders Mill Road. This property has
the same zoning as the subject but differs in size from 10.03 acres to 36.9 acres. This property
sold for $0.69 per sq.ft. and adjusted to $1.29 per sq.ft. Given the size difference I have not
emphasized this sale.
207
Hall – Widdoss & Company, P.C.
20
Sale No. 2 is located directly north of the subject property. This is a recent sale only slightly
smaller than the subject. However, it was a bank owned REO. This property produced an
adjusted indication of $1.65 per square foot.
Sale No. 6, Sale No. 10 and Sale No. 11 are emphasized in the final analysis. Those properties
compare slightly better in terms of overall size when compared directly to the subject.
Sale No. 6 is located directly south of the subject on Durston Road. Overall, this is a very
similar property with a similar frontage, Oak Street versus Durston Road. This property has city
R – 3 and R – 4 zoning and adjusted to $2.33 per sq.ft.
Sale No. 10 is located directly south of the subject on Durston Road. This 6.06 acre tract was
zoned the same as the subject and sold for $1.23 per sq.ft. in March 2013. The adjusted
indication is shown at $1.82 per sq.ft.
Sale No. 11 is slightly older and has a slightly superior location in proximity to North 19th
Avenue.
In the final analysis, I looked at Sale No. 6 and Sale No. 10 as the better indications of current
market value. There is some potential Sale No. 6 could have been adjusted for size creating a
slightly lower indication. However, the difference between 6.06 acres and 10.03 acres is not as
significant. The two emphasized sales have a range of $1.82 per sq.ft. to an upper end of $2.33
per sq.ft.
The former listing expired at $1.83 per sq.ft. with no sale suggesting something toward the lower
end of the range. The subject property was on the market for a year and was exposed to the
market (there was one offer albeit low). Therefore, the subject listing price of $1.83 per sq.ft.
sets the upper limits of value. Given the expired listing and other information I’ve shown a final
conclusion of value at a rate slightly less than the expired listing at $1.83 per sq.ft. My final
conclusion is shown at $1.75 per sq.ft.

5. INFORMATION USED:
No responsibility is assumed for accuracy of information furnished by work of or work by others, the client,
his designee, or public records. We are not liable for such information or the work of possible subcontractors.
Be advised that some of the people associated with Hall - Widdoss & Company, P.C. and possibly signing
the report are independent contractors.
The comparable data relied upon in this report has been confirmed with one or more parties familiar with the
transaction or from affidavit or other source thought reasonable; all are considered appropriate for inclusion to the best
of our factual judgement 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. It is suggested that the client consider independent verification as a prerequisite to any transaction
involving sale, lease, or other significant commitment of funds for subject property.
6. TESTIMONY, CONSULTATION, COMPLETION OF CONTRACT FOR APPRAISAL SERVICE:
The contract for appraisal, consultation or analytical service is fulfilled, and the total fee is payable prior to

required to give testimony in court or hearing because of having made the appraisal, in full or in part, nor
engage in post appraisal consultation with client or third parties except under separate and special
arrangement and at additional fee. If testimony or deposition is required because of any subpoena, the client
shall be responsible for any additional time, fees, and charges regardless of issuing party.
7. EXHIBITS:

necessarily to scale. Various photos, if any, are included for the same purpose as of the date of the photos.

8. LEGAL, ENGINEERING, FINANCIAL, STRUCTURAL, OR MECHANICAL NATURE HIDDEN
COMPONENTS, SOIL:
The Appraiser and/or firm has no responsibility for matters legal in character or nature, nor of any
architectural, structural, mechanical, or engineering nature. No opinion is rendered as to the title, which is
presumed to be good and merchantable. The property is appraised as if free and clear, unless otherwise stated
in particular parts of the report.
The legal description is assumed to be correct as used in this report as furnished by the client, his designee, or as
derived by the Appraiser. Please note that no advice is given regarding mechanical equipment or structural integrity or
adequacy nor soils and potential for settlement, drainage, and such (seek legal assistance), and such. The lender and
owner should inspect the property before any disbursement of funds; further it is likely that the lender or owner may
wish to require mechanical or structural inspections by qualified and licensed contractor, civil or structural engineer,
architect, or other expert.
The Appraiser has inspected as far as possible, by observation, the land and the improvements; however, it
was not possible to personally observe conditions beneath the soil or hidden structural, or other components.
We have not critically inspected mechanical components within the improvements and no representations are
made herein as to these matters unless specifically stated and considered in the report. The value estimate
considers there being no such conditions that would cause loss of value. The land or the soil of the are being
appraised appears firm, however, subsidence in the area is unknown. The Appraiser(s) do not warrant against
this condition or occurrence of problems arising from soil conditions.
The appraisal is based on there being no hidden, unapparent, or apparent conditions of the property site, subsoil, or
structures or toxic materials which would render it more or less valuable. The Appraiser and firm have no
responsibility for any such conditions or for any expertise or engineering to discover them. All mechanical components
are assumed to be in operable condition and status standard for properties of the subject type. Conditions of heating,
cooling, ventilating, electrical and plumbing equipment is considered to be commensurate with the condition of the
balance of the improvements unless otherwise stated. No judgement may be made by us to adequacy of insulation, type
of insulation, or energy efficiency of the improvements or equipment which is assumed standard for subject age and
type.
If the Appraiser has not been supplied with a deficiency or hazard inspection, survey or occupancy permit,
no responsibility or representation is assumed or made for any costs associated with obtaining same or for
213
HALL - WIDDOSS & COMPANY, P.C.
any deficiencies discovered before or after they are obtained. No representation or warranties are made
concerning obtaining the above mentioned items. The Appraiser has no responsibility for any costs or
consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need for flood hazard insurance. An Agent for the
Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for Flood Hazard
Insurance.
9. LEGALITY OF USE:
The appraisal is based on the premise that, there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
environmental regulations and laws unless otherwise stated in the report; further, that all applicable zoning,
building, use regulations and restrictions of all types have been complied with unless otherwise stated in the
report; further, it is assumed that all required licenses, consents, permits, or other legislative or administrative
authority, local, state, federal and/or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed
for any use considered in the value estimate.
10. COMPONENT VALUES:
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 building must not be used in conjunction
with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
11. 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 or in the
report.
12. DOLLAR VALUES, PURCHASING POWER:
The market value estimated, and the costs used, are as of the date of the estimate of value. All dollar amounts
are based on the purchasing power and price of dollar as of the date of value estimate.
13. INCLUSIONS:
Furnishings and equipment or personal property or business operations except as specifically indicated and
typically considered as part of real estate, have been disregarded with only the real estate being
considered in the value estimate unless otherwise stated. In some property types, business and real estate
interests and values are combined and essentially integrated to comprise the property in total, i.e.
Hotels/Motels.
14. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, CONDITIONED VALUE:
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 the Appraiser(s). In cases of proposed construction, the appraisal is subject to change upon
inspection of property after construction is completed. This estimate of market value is as of the date shown
which is indicative of a hypothetical condition or an extraordinary assumption.
15. VALUE CHANGE, DYNAMIC MARKET, INFLUENCES, ALTERATION OF ESTIMATE BY
APPRAISER:
The estimated market value, which is defined in the report, is subject to change with market 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 Appraiser(s) 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 estimate of value; they are
thus subject to change as the market and value is naturally dynamic. "The Opinion of Market Value" in the
appraisal report is not based in whole or in part upon the race, color or national origin of the present owners
or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the property appraised. Appraisal report and value estimate
are subject to change if physical or legal entity or financing is different than that envisioned in the report.

Appraisal Institute’s requirements addressing continuing education.

materials on or in the property. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The
presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous
materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there
is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for
any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is
urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
