Definition of Va{ue
The Appraisal Institute provides the following definition and clari�cation of market value:
The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in
other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified properly rights should sell after
reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with
the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and
assuming that neither is under undue duress'
The following definition of maxket value is used by agencies that regulate federally insured
financial institutions:
Market value means 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
pru.dently 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:
• Buyer and seller axe typically motivated;
• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider
their best interests;
• A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
• Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto; and
• The price represents the normal consideration for the proper[y sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated
with the sale.

57 Federal Register 12202, Apri19, 1992; 59 Federal Register 29499, June 7, 1994)
The above definitions are consistent with the definition of market value provided by the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Both the Appraisal Institu.te
and USPAP require a reasonable exposure time in the open market, discussed in the
following section.

Exposure Time / Marketing Time
� Exposure time is always presumed to occur prior to the effective date of the appraisal.
However, marketing time is prospective, i.e., looking forward.
� Discussions with brokers, developers, and owners indicate that there is increased demand
currently for residential vacant land as we appear to be emerging from the economic
( recession which economists believe began in December 2007 and ended in June 2010.
Given the subject's location and the scarcity of vacant developable residential land in
� Tequesta, a reasonable exposure time is reconciled at 6 to 12 months when reasonably priced
and professionally marketed. Finally, moderate demand for similar properties supports
marketing periods commensurate with the reconciled exposure time of 6 to 12 months.
� MARKET STUDY AND ABSORPTION ANALYSIS
To value the subject "as is" a study of supply and demand for competitive properties must
� first be undertaken. This involves an analysis of absorption, or sellout, for the individual lots
and also includes estimating the lot values.
� A fundamenta.l analysis is developed by reviewing demographic trends and projecting future
demand based upon population growth and related purchasing power. However, it is a
difficult undertaking for properties like the subject because the demand is not directly linked
� to growth forecasts. Rather, it is linked to housing preferences among buyers. Therefore, a
fundamental analysis is not applied. �
Inferred Analysis
` The purpose of an inferred market study is to estimate or infer expectations of the overall
maxket, such as sale prices and absorption, by analyzing competitive properties. The subject
` is assumed to support development of 5 residential lots averagirig 8,000 sq.ft. in size. Our
( analysis of competitive projects comprises those developments located in Tequesta and the
neighboring portion of Jupiter, with specific attention paid to:
� a. Property type (single-family non-waterfront homes/home-sites);
b. Prospective purchasers (those that can afford to purchase in similar priced projects);
c. Recent projects andlor those existing projects with recent re-sales (as alternative
� housing choices).
Primary Competition
� We found no residential subdivisions that are offering lots for sale in Tequesta. One small
residential subdivision in Jupiter has experienced sales recently. We spoke with Neal Vander
C Waal of Vander Waal Realty (561-758-5364) who is involved with the sales at Cinquez Park
in Jupiter north of Indiantown Road. He began marketing the lots either vacant or with new
1,700 sq.ft. single family dwellings in January 2013 and has sold 19 parcels since then
� indicating absorption of one lot per month.

Highest and Best Use
�
The concept of highest and best use is market-driven, as the competitive forces within a
� properly's market area directly impact it. As such, the trends observed in the preceding
sections are further analyzed to indicate their impact on the subject, both `as if vacant' and
`as improved'. The market conditions discussed, such as supply and demand, help to
determine highest and best use, including maximum productivity and ideal improvements.
Highest and best use is defined as: the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an
improved properiy, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially
feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and b use must
meet axe leg al permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum
productivity.
There are three steps involved in highest and best use. The first step is to analyze potential
uses for the site as vacant (including leaving it vacant). If the conclusion is to improve the
site, the second step is to identify an ideal improvement for the site. The last step involves
analyzing the site as improved (if applicable). Existing improvements are compared to ideal
improvements and a conclusion is drawn to maintain the existing improvements or modify
the property to resernble its ideal improvements.
Analysis of the subject site `as vacant' and `as improved' is performed by application of the
following four tests:
• Legal permissibility: uses allowed by private restrictions (such as deed restrictions),
or public restriction (such as zoning and land use).
• Physical possibility: uses which are physically possible, given the subject size,
configuration, etc.
� Financial feasibility: legally permissible and physically possible uses that have
sufficient demand to indicate value commensurate with cost.
• Maximum productivity: the feasible use which returns the most value to the site.
As Vacant
Highest and best use of land or a site as though vacant is defined as: 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.
The four tests are applied to the subject as follows:

L�sally Permissible IIses
The subject parcei is cu�eAltly zo�led R-QP (Rec?•eatio?7 and Open Space). As previously
stated, t�.e Village ir�tends ta sell the s�abject for residential dev�lopment and intends t� � e-
z�ire the parcel bacic to R-1, wh?ch was the zoning prior ta them purchasing the property i�1
2010 ai�d re-zoning the site to R-OP. We are assuming the R-1 zoning �,vill be reirstated and
are appraising the property based on this premise. The only use pennitted by right withi�l ar�
R-1 district is single family °esidential use with subdivision of tl�e site into buildable lots
with a minimum size of 8,000 sq.ft. and a minimum frontage of 75 feet.
Physically Possible
The Village has i�ot provided us either a preliininary or final site plan depicting residential
lots on the site. We sketched a potential subdivision assumi�ig a minimum lot size of 8,000
sq.ft. with a minimum frontage of 75 feet.
Sased on discussions with Nilsa Zacarias, Director of the Village of Tequesta Dept. of
eominunity Development, we projected a 25 foot wide street comirlg into the site with a 10
foot buffer along the north perimeter of the site and allowed 10 feet for a sidewallc on the
south side of the proposed street and an 80 ft. diazneter cul-de-sac at the end of the street to
accomnlodate emergency municipal vehicles, and concluded the parcel could accommodate 5
residential lots. We are assuming the Village will approve residential development of the
parcel with 5 lots. The sites will be mostly rectangular to slightly irregular shaped. None af
the infrastructure necessary for development has been constructed, but development of 5
�esidential lots a�pears to maximize its potential, and is physically possible. �
An illustration of the projected subdivision is shown below.

Financially Feasible
Based on our analysis of the maarket, there is increased demand for additional residential lots
at the current time. Sales of single family lots and houses have increased considerably in the
past year, although in most cases prices are down significantly from their peak in late
2005/early 2006. It appears that demand has increased, albeit at lower prices than the peak of
the market. The recovery of the market is underway accompanied by a rise in property values
to a level that justifies the cost of new construction. Thus, it is anticipated that residential
subdivision sell-out is financially feasible.
Maximally Productive
There does not appear to be any reasonably probable use of the site that would generate a
higher residual land value than developing the property with a residential subdivision.
Accordingly, it is our opinion that developing the properiy with a residential subdivision,
based on the normal market density level permitted by zoning, is the maximally productive
use of the properly.
Conclusion
Creating the subdivision for residential development is the only use that meets the four tests
of highest and best use. Therefore, it is concluded to be the highest and best use of the
property as vacant. We are assurning the parcel can be subdivided into 5 residential lots and
will value the property accordingly.
Typical Purchaser ' � '
The most probable buyer of the lots in bulk is a speculator/investor or home builder.
