Re: 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, CT

Dear Mr. Fox:

At your request, on behalf of Mr. John Cottingham, or the subject property owner, and for the purpose of estimating the fair market value, as before and as after, of the property at 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, in Canton, Hartford County, Connecticut, we present herewith our report containing our estimate of value and the data and analyses used in arriving at our estimate of value.

Introduction:

The purpose of this appraisal report is to estimate Market Value impact as a result of the proposed zone change for a large tract identified with the street address of 67 4 and 684 Albany Tpke. (AKA Route 44) and furter identified as Lot 1010674 and 1010684 of Canton Assessor's Map 21.

Specifically, the above captioned proposed zone change property comprises aggregate site size of roughly 39.00 acres currently zoned R-2, or residential 2. As per a zone change application form to the town of Canton Zoning and Planning Commission dated July 2, 2014, the current subject property ownership is requesting a zone change for 31 acres from the total of approximately 39 acres from residential R-2 to Industrial (I).

As a result, several of the adjoining property owners are very concerned about the resulting negative impact which will result from such zone change, if approved. The proposed zone change property /parcel, has an extensive road frontage along Route 44 AKA Albany Turnpike, and is currently utilized as raw acreage and as agricultural; the net result is a very low, if any, impact on the surrounding residential use(s) as per zoning and as per neighborhood composition.

As part of the zone change request, the property owner reported several consideration which are reported in the following pages, for our purpose.

Re: 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, CT

Introduction, continued

"The reason for my zone change is to accommodate my strong feelings that there is a significant demand for small uses of development which could be developed in the industrial zone. My feelings were confirmed by recent building opportunities which I will present at the meeting. Per the strategic plan, this zone change and development would promote the health, safety and especially the welfare of the Town. The parcel rates low on the Conservation score of the Conservation Vision and was identified as an opportunity location on the same plan. With proper detention and engineering the development would be healthy and provide a safe environment. "

Further considerations reported are stated as follows:

"" We are proposing the Zone change from R-2 Zone to I-Zone on our location on Route 44, based on several considerations.

A. We envision excellent potential for small business, industrial, and similar users allowed under the I-Zone on this parcel.

B. The development of residential use on the property would be a tax burden for the Town.

C. The adjacent pacel in the Town of New Hartford is zoned industrial and this zone change would be compatible with the adjacent land in New Hartford.

D. The Canton Strategic Plan endorses the use of this land for economic development. The report on page 36 states that only about fifty (50) acres of undeveloped land is zoned for non-residential use in the entire Town. It further states that managing the business to residential tax proportion would be key to keeping the Town's tax rate competitive, and keeping Canton a desirable place to live.

E. The same Strategic Plan on page 36 identifies this parcel land as a potential "opportunity" location.

F. The same Strategic Plan under the chapter "Future Land Use Plan", page 102 rates the parcel as low on the conservation score and moderate on the development vision.

G. We envision that with the extensive frontage on Route 44 and the visibility, we can make this development into a successful project providing job benefits, increased tax base and economic diversity for the Town of Canton. "

Introduction, continued

Thus, our purpose is to evaluate the subject property "as before" and "as after" to estimate what potential damages, or reduction in fair market value the subject of this report will suffer as well as (equally) ten's of similar single family dwellings which are located in the subject neighborhood as well as extended subject's neighborhood.

The property that is the subject of this report consists of a 2,570 square foot, above grade, fairly newer (1984) residential single family contemporary style dwelling, as per our inspection and assessor's office records, on approximately 1.09 acres (47 ,480± sq ft) of land on the northerly side of Buttonwood Hill Road, in the extreme central-west quadrant of Canton, and immediately to the east of the New Hartford Town Line.

It should be further noted here that the subject property is a rear parcel and as such it enjoys a great deal of privacy, as well as a park like setting, since it's situated roughly 290 feet set back from Buttonwood Hill Road.

There is a bonus room over the garage area comprising approximately 528 sq ft of additional living area fitted for use as bedroom and/or flex-use area; hence, total gross living area is 2,570± sq ft. Our report describes the property in detail, and analyzes the property with respect to market value, as defined in our report.

Re: 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, CT

As a result of the proposed zone change, if approved of the property known as 674 and 684 Albany Turnpike, situated along the south side of Route 44, or in the immediate vicinity of the subject neighborhood, the subject property will be severely negatively affected, in our opinion, based on the following considerations.

I 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, CT I Negative impact resulting from the proposed zone change from R-2 (residential) to industrial (I) for a 31.00 acres tract situated at 674-684 Albany Turnpike

Re-configuration of neighborhood with increased trucks traffic

Increased noise due to additional traffic and trucks

Diminution of curb appeal and marketability; moreover, location will be also negatively affected. Potential damages that can occur to the Artisan Well depending on any potential use(s) that will be allowed if the zone change is approved.

As a result, in "The After" the subject is going to be negatively affected by severance, i.e. damages; thus, the need to appraise the subject property "As Before" and "As After"

The subject propety is a single family owner occupied colonial style dwelling (fairly newer, 1984), over full and unfinished basement, on a site of 1.09± acres (47,480± sq ft) zoned R-2, low density residential district.

Re: 3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, CT

Therefore, after having considered the subject property and its market value in the current market, it is my opinion that the market value of the subject property, as of August 22, 2014, was:

Property Value, in total:

$345,000 (As Before The Proposed Zone Change) (THREE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS)

$255,000 (AS AFTER) (TWO HUNDRED FIFrY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS)

$90,000 (Damages,or Diminution in Fair Market Value of 26.1%) (NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS)

Exposure and Marketing Period The established market value reflects an exposure time of twelve months, reflecting the period prior to the date of value. A marketing period within twelve months is implicit in this analysis, recognizing the time period after the date of value to liquidate the subject property. The exposure time and the marketing period are based on the known marketing time of the sales in the region.

Data will be collected in the general market area (usually considered to be the town/city in which the property is located), and will be confirmed by authoritative sources and/ or the parties involved in the data. All pertinent data will be reported, to the best of the appraiser's knowledge and ability.

Specifically considered within the scope of the appraisal is the degree of data reported. To expect a report to cover every item related to value is not realistic, or even possible. Entire books have been written about the underlying soils in Connecticut, for example, and these soils affect value. Every investment property bought and sold has its impact on every other investment property value, however small.

Likewise, every residence bought and sold impacts all the other residences in the state, however minuscule the degree. It is incumbent upon the appraiser to navigate his or her path through the available information, select that which he or she deems appropriate and relevant, and report that which is particularly relevant, informative, possible and practical. It is not possible for the appraiser to report everything that he or she may have encountered in his or her research, or to convey in writing every thought process that may have occurred.

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 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:

1. buyer and seller are both typically motivated.

2. both parties are well informed or well advised and each acting in what he considers to be his own best interest.

3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.

4. payment is made in cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto.

5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

The Most Probable Sales (Selling) Price is defined as:

"That price at which a property would most probably sell if exposed to the market for a reasonable time, under conditions prevailing as of the date of appraisal." (The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal. 4th Edition, Appraisal Institute, 2002).

Leased Fee Estate is defined as:

"An ownership interest held by a landlord with the rights of use and occupancy conveyed by lease to others. The right of the lessor (the leased fee owner) and the leased fee are specified by contract terms contained within the lease."

COMMUNITY DATA

Location

Canton is located in central-west Connecticut, about 14 miles west of Hartford, in the Farmington Valley region. The town is a suburban community that has experienced robust growth in the past 25 years, when some of the town's farmland began to be developed with single family homes.

Transportation

Canton is served by U.S. Route 44, a highway of regional significance. U.S. Route 44 has nearby connectors to Routes 179, AKA Bridge Street, 177 and US 202, providing good highway access from Canton to all points. Local and state roads are all in good conditions, generally, and are well equipped to handle local and intercity traffic.

Population

The population of Canton was 8,840, according to the 2000 census, and continues to grow. 2011 population is estimated at 10,335. In the 1990-2010 period, Canton's population grew 2. 5 % . This rate of growth far exceeds the population growth of Hartford Labor Market Area (6.9%) Hartford county (6.0%) and the State of Connecticut (9.8%) as a whole. Unemployment levels in Canton are below state averages, and average per capita income is higher than Hartford county and state levels.

Canton is bordered on the north by the towns of Granby and Barkhamsted, on the east by the Town of Simsbury, on the south by the towns of Avon and Burlington and on the west by the Town of New Hartford.

It is approximately fourteen miles west of Hartford, the capital, and the location of major employment centers. As noted, U.S. Route 44 runs through Canton, east to west and is the major commuting Route for the area.

Canton is home to some industries of which the principal are: agriculture, and light manufacturing. However, primarily it is a residential community. The Town of Canton is located in an excellent area in central-west Connecticut within a fairly short distance of Hartford, East Hartford, Farmington, West Hartford, Bloomfield and Granby, home to some of the largest private as well as public employers.

COMMUNITY DATA, continued

Population, continued

Route US 44 runs east to west through town and is its main commercial district. There are two large sized shopping centers, many restaurants and small strip centers; moreover, additional retail space, or a shopping center is currently under construction along Route 44; in addition, there are several newer small office buildings and light industrial parks. Canton has a good school system.

Canton is a small town with ample remaining land to be developed. The population tends to remain stable creating a pleasant "hometown" environment.

Over a 30-year period, the Canton Land Conservation Trust has acquired several parcels of land in Canton and Barkhamsted, approximately 1,200 acres in all. This property is open to all Canton residents for use as passive and low-environment-impact recreation. The Land Trust receives support from private donations of land and from its sales of Christmas trees in December.

Overall Canton is a desirable residential community in which to live and work and should remain so into the foreseeable future in your appraiser's opinion.

Employment Characteristics

Canton is a western suburb of Hartford, the capitol of Connecticut; the commute by highway into Hartford is about 25 minutes.

The population grew by 16.9% in the period of 2000-2011 and is expected to experience a 0.4% growth in the period of 2011-2016. The current population is about 10,139.

The median household income in Canton exceeded the state average in 2011, $82,619 versus $69,243. The town ranked 59th out of 169 towns in the state in household income.The town has a Board of Selectmen/Town Meeting form of government, a volunteer fire department, and a paid police department.

Economic indicators show Canton to be above-average in most respects with regard to population growth income levels and housing. Local government has been responsive to town citizens and their needs, and an active participating citizenry indicates that past growth will continue in a beneficial fashion, maintaining the quality of life that the town has come to enjoy.

Household Trends

Several of the most significant demographic changes to occur in Canton during the last three decades involve the composition of the town's households. The town's average household size has decreased considerably since 1990, reflecting nationwide trends of declining birth rates and increasing divorce rates.

The most prominent change in Canton household characteristics has been the decrease of persons living in family households and the corresponding increase of residents in non-family households. This trend, common in many other areas, indicates that between 1990 and 2010, there has been a decline in the total persons by household.

Conclusion

In summary, the town of Canton is considered a healthy and growing community that has been an increasingly popular community in which to live and work.

The underlying factors contributing to this popularity, a stable real estate taxes rate, a good school system, relatively easy commuting and fairly strong employment opportunities within its borders remain in place and suggest the slowdowns in real estate market activity and declining prices (generally), as a result of the economic slowdown affecting the region are temporary, if not already a sign of the past for many sectors of the local as well as regional economy.

The long-term outlook for the community real estate values should be slow but steady appreciation, generally, once the economy recovery takes full effect in every economic sectors, particularly in the employment section of the economy.

NEIGHBORHOOD DATA

The purpose of the Neighborhood Data section is to analyze the influence of the surrounding neighborhood on the highest and best use of the subject property. A neighborhood is a group of complimentary land uses, as defined in the 12th Edition of The Appraisal of Real Estate, (The Appraisal Institute, 2001). A neighborhood exhibits a greater degree of uniformity than a larger area. Neighborhood boundaries often coincide with changes in land use, occupant characteristics, and physical characteristics such as street patterns, terrain, lot sizes, and transportation arteries.

The neighborhood in which the subject property is located lies in the extreme central-west part of Canton, and to the northwest of the quadrant known as Collinsville. The neighborhood is bounded roughly by Route US 44 (Albany Turnpike) on the north, by the Farmington River on the south, by the Route 179 to the east, and by the New Hartford Town Line to the west. The area is one of rolling land, both open and wooded, with scattered areas of residential development, and mixed uses, primarily along Routes 44 and 179.

Area properties consist of newer commercial and service uses, small to medium sized farms, newer subdivisions and newer commercial properties. Route 44 AKA Albany Turnpike, Simonds Avenue, Dowd Avenue and Route 179, also known as River Road, dominate the area. Particularly Route 44, the region's major thoroughfare, is home to several small to medium sized strip shopping centers, small office buildings and mix-use buildings have all been either constructed and/or rehabbed during the relatively recent past. Neighborhood locational amenity is very good.

Area topography is rolling, with local roads all paved and municipally maintained, and all public utilities generally available. The older and newer properties provide a reasonably good mix, with no detriment to either group, in the opinion of your appraiser. The area continues to be attractive and growing, though development has slowed somewhat during the past five years, more or less.

It is expected that demand for both residential and commercial properties will improve, however, as the Connecticut economy rebounds. While recovery is expected to be very gradual, the subject neighborhood, with its very good proximity to Hartford should be among the more attractive, and one of the early beneficiaries of any economic recovery.

The life of a neighborhood has four stages: 1) Growth, 2) Stability, 3) Decline and 4) Revitalization. The subject neighborhood would best be described as Number 1, in a state of growth, albeit slightly, due to the oversupply of all type of real estate as a result of the overbuilding that occurred in the 2005-2008 time frame; at this time, to the best of our knowledge there are not many, if any, planned community developments, or residential subdivisions.

3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, Hartford County, CT John Lo Monte Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Page 28

NEIGHBORHOOD DATA, continued

The general neighborhood is serviced with paved streets, street lighting, storm sewer, on site well and septic sytstem, electricity, telephone service and propane gas service.

Conclusion

The subject neighborhood is an appropriate location for the subject property; this type of property, or newer single family dwelling in a residential zoned (R-2) parcel located close to a major thoroughfare (Route 44) in the area, is a short supply commodity in the town of Canton, since there are only limited vacant tracts left which could benefit from the aforementioned locational characteristics. As a result, the location is a very good one being easily accessible via Route 44/202, AKA Albany Turnpike, and via Route 179 AKA River Road.

Traffic is very heavy along both roadways, Route 44 and Route 179 at most times of the day, and as a result congestion sometime is a problem, particularly during the rush hours. This highway (Route 44), connects Canton with Hartford, and it is the primary arterial connector which bisects the town of Canton in a west/ east direction.

Present and future development will be in the form of residential, retail, specialty stores and commercial buildings. Growth may be limited by the amount of vacant land available for development.

In conclusion there is nothing in the subject neighborhood which could detract from the subject property as improved, as per zoning, residential (R-2) District, homogeninity of use and curb appeal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE, continued

Your appraiser has no knowledge of any hazardous materials used in the construction and the maintenance of the property, including asbestos, but this does not mean that none are present in the structure or in the ground.

Miscellaneous

Conditions:

There are two car (attached) garage comprising 528 sq ft with electric eye openers.

There is a so called bonus room of 528 Sq Ft over the garage area. There is a wood deck of 190 sq ft to the rear. Vaulted ceiling in family room with stone fireplace.

Based on an exterior and interior inspection of the premises, based on information contained in the assessor's office field card, and based on adequate information provided by the current subject property owner, it is your appraiser opinion that the overall condition of the subject premises as of August 22, 2014, the valuation date, was good to very good.

Floor plan and layout of the dwelling as of the valuation date and the Canton Assessor's records were examined to develop a description of the subject property improvements and their condition. Your appraiser feels that a reasonably reliable description of the site improvements has been obtained through this inspection and research.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

Highest and best use is defined as:

"That reasonable and probable use that will support the highest present value, as defined, as of the effective date of the appraisal.

"The definition immediately above applies specifically to the highest and best use of the land. It is to be recognized that in cases where the site has existing improvements on it, the highest and best use may very well be determined to be different from existing use. The existing use will continue, however, unless and until land value in its highest and best use exceeds the total value of the property in its existing use.

"Implied within these definitions is recognition of the contribution of that specific use to community environment or to community development goals in addition to wealth maximization of individual property owners. Also implied is that the determination of highest and best use results from the appraiser's judgement and analytical skill, i. e., that the use determined from analysis represents an opinion, not a fact to be found. In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based. In the context of most probable selling price (market value) another appropriate term to reflect highest and best use would be most probable use. In the context of investment value an alternative term would be most profitable use."

Real Estate Appraisal Terminology Compiled and Edited by Byrl N. Boyce, Ph. D. American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers Society of Real Estate Appraisers

Highest and Best Use Criteria

In considering the highest and best use for the subject property your appraiser consideration has been given to the following: the most profitable economic use, assuming that the zoning and resulting legal use are appropriate for the subject.

The property is located in an R-2 residence (residential) neighborhood; it is located near Routes 44 and 179 and in the central-west quadrant of Canton. The site is already improved with a single family dwelling and site improvements that make substantial contribution to the property value.

Due to the good to very good overall condition of the structure on the site, considering the location, market appeal and demand for property of this type is average to good, and should continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE, continued

Highest and Best Use Criteria, continued

Therefore, it's your appraisers' opinion that the highest and best use for the subject property will be for its continued use as a single-family dwelling for its remaining economic life.

By definition the highest and best use of the site would be the best utilization of the land configuration in conjunction with zoning, location and all the amenities described above. To make such an analysis of the site is beyond the scope of this appraisal, but for purposes of this appraisal the use is considered to be its best and highest.

Highest And Best Use As Improved

The subject is improved with a 2,570± square feet residential single-family wood frame contemporary cape style dwelling which layout of the improvements meets with the character of the neighborhood; moreover, the premises are in keeping with the density required, based on current zoning regulations, such use is legal and conforming since it post-dates current zoning regulations.

Hence, the site for purposes of this appraisal will be considered adequate for the consideration of the best and highest use with construction as well as remodeling and upkeep of the subject residential dwelling, having occurred in various stages and to varying degrees.

The value of the land as vacant is available to be improved to its "Highest and Best Use" should be considered equal to the value of the site as improved now. For purposes of this appraisal the use will be considered as defining and supporting its Best and Highest Use.

VALUATION PREMISE-APPROACHES TO VALUE

There are three classical approaches to value used in appraising real estate. They are defined as follows:

COST APPROACH: "That approach in appraisal analysis which is based on the proposition that the informed purchaser would pay no more than the cost of producing a substitute property with the same utility as the subject property. It is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements which represent the highest and best use of the land or when relatively unique or specialized improvements are located on the site and for which there exist no comparable properties on the market."

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: "That approach in appraisal analysis which is based on the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost to him of acquiring an existing property with the same utility. This approach is applicable when an active market provides sufficient quantities of reliable data which can be verified from authoritative sources. The direct sales comparison approach is relatively unreliable in an inactive market or in estimating the value of properties for which no real comparable sales data are available. It is also questionable when sales data cannot be verified with principals to the transaction. "

INCOME APPROACH: "That procedure in appraisal analysis which converts anticipated benefits (dollar income or amenities) to be derived from the ownership of property into a value estimate. The income approach is widely applied in appraising income-producing properties. Anticipated future income and/or reversions are discounted to a present worth figure through the capitalization process."

Real Estate Appraisal Terminology Compiled and Edited by Byrl N. Boyce, Ph. D. American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers Society of Real Estate Appraisers

The only approach to value developed in this report will be the direct sales comparison approach to value, as applied "in the before" and "in the after."

3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, Hartford County, CT John Lo Monte Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Page 45

VALUATION PREMISE-APPROACHES TO VALUE, continued

The income approach to value has been considered; however, typically single family dwellings are purchased for owner occupancy and not for the production of income. The resulting approach to value would be less than reliable, and could be misleading to the readers of the report. For this reason, the income approach has not been developed here.

Please see the following pages for the development of the direct sales comparison approach to value.

3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, Hartford County, CT John Lo Monte Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Page 46

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

The direct sales comparison approach to value is based primarily on the principle of substitution, wherein "the value of a property tends to be set by the price that would be paid to acquire a substitute property of similar utility and desirability within a reasonable amount of time" (The Appraisal of Real Estate, 12th Edition; 2001).

Under the Direct Sales Comparison Approach, market values are derived from a study of similar properties. Hypothetically, the adjustments made using the Direct Sales Comparison Approach reflect a buyer's preference for a dwelling. A dwelling and/or property comparable to the subject property would represent an acceptable alternative for a buyer in the current market. Adjustments are made in order to establish comparability based upon the appraiser's knowledge of the market, observation of price, locational trends, amenities, and discussions with principals and brokers in the market place.

As noted, this approach is related to the principle of substitution. No one will pay more for a property if he can acquire one of similar utility for a lower price. The value of the subject is presumed to be directly related to the price of the comparable sale. Similarity of use, for example, a contemporary style single-family dwelling used as a comparable for valuing another contemporary, cape and/or colonial style single-family dwelling, is an analogy which is easily accepted by everyone involved with real estate. Both appraisers and laymen accept and understand this method of valuing real estate.

The similarity of use is the easiest of characteristic to find in a comparable sale. Unless the appraiser is dealing with a special-purpose property, there are usually a number of dwellings used for similar purposes. Due to zoning regulations, dwellings and/or buildings used for similar purposes frequently are located in the same general area.

Identical dwellings, that is a cape and/or colonial style single-family dwellings which are physically identical, are rare in the market. Even if an identical contemporary style dwelling was found which was identical in size, age and layout, and was served by the same utilities, the appraiser would have to deal with location. Each location on earth is unique and requires adjustments in order to deal with the difference between the property being valued and the sale used as a comparable.

Adjustments must be made for locational and physical differences. Adjustments are always made from the sale to the subject. If a sale has a superior characteristic, the adjustment is negative. If the characteristic is inferior to the subject, the adjustment is positive. The object is always the property being appraised and all the adjustments are an attempt to make the sale price of the comparable equal to the value for the subject.

3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, Hartford County, CT John Lo Monte Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Page 47

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, continued

Physical characteristics are not the limit of what should be examined by the appraiser. The circumstances which surround a particular sale are in many cases as important as the physical similarity to the subject. General market conditions, at the time the comparable was sold, may differ markedly from current conditions. An adjustment for time may be used to deal with this adjustment.

The conditions of sale are also important. Was the sale an arms-length transaction? Did the seller receive something of value for the property besides cash? If the seller provided financing, was what he or she received equal to or less than "all cash"? Many of these questions are raised by our definition of value and the appraiser in making comparisons must be able to identify and deal with the circumstance which surround a particular transaction.

In order to discover these circumstances, the appraiser has checked the land records. Brokers and principals to transactions have been contacted and the information obtained has been used to adjust the various sales.

The Direct Sales Comparison Approach to Value is particularly reliable when adequate sales of properties similar to the subject which would require relatively few adjustments resulting in a reasonable estimate of market value are readily available. This method of valuation is considered to be highly relevant, as this approach best addresses the behavior of buyers and sellers who constitute the market for such properties.

The pool of one-family property sales somewhat similar, i.e. functional utility, to the subject is adequate at this time. Therefore, a search has been conducted to find the recent sales of reasonably similar single-family contemporary cape and/or colonial style properties from which adjustments could be made to arrive at an estimate of market value.

Methodology

There are many elements to consider when comparing similar or somewhat similar properties; however, there are six main common elements of comparison that cause prices to differ between properties; when appropriate, other elements of comparison such as financial characteristics are considered. These elements are listed below:

Real Property Rights Conveyed:

This adjustment relates to the type of ownership transferred and how the conveyed interest relates to the interest being appraised.

Financing Terms:

Adjustments for financing terms are based on the extent that favorable financing influenced the comparable sale price and can be measured.

Conditions of Sale:

This adjustment usually reflects the special motivations of the buyer and/ or seller.

Market Conditions <Time of Sale):

An adjustment for market conditions reflects changes that may be caused by a variety of factors such as inflation, deflation, recession, fluctuations in supply and demand.

Location:

An adjustment for location is required when the locational characteristics of a comparable property are different from those of the subject property.

Concessions:

This adjustment usually reflects not an arm's length transaction, and/or a transaction affected by undue stimulus on the part of either party to the transaction.

3 Buttonwood Hill Road, Canton, Hartford County, CT John Lo Monte Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Page 49

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, continued

Physical Characteristics:

Adjustments for Physical characteristics are made for such factors as land and/or dwelling size, road frontage, availability of utilities, topographical characteristics, functional utility of the land or building, land-to-building area ratio approved or allowed, dwelling age or condition, construction materials and quality, and numerous other characteristics.

The methodology used is the percentage adjustment. This methodology is based on the premise that each factor influencing value has an independent and interdependent effect on value. By adding and/or subtracting the adjustments together, we derive a final adjustment factor.

This factor is then multiplied by the sales price adjusted where appropriate for financing, market conditions (time of sale), conditions of sale, site size, concessions, building size, building condition-type, zoning and location to arrive at a final adjusted sales price.

Historically smaller buildings-dwellings tend to sell for more on a per unit basis all other things being equal. If necessary a downward adjustment will be applied to the comparable sales utilized in the Market Approach/Direct Sales sections.

Historically larger buildings-dwellings tend to sell for less on a per unit basis all other things being equal. If necessary an upward adjustment will be applied to the comparable sales utilized in the Market Approach/Direct Sales sections.

All statements contained herein, unless otherwise attributed, represent the opinion of your appraiser.

Within the development of this approach, the following sales of single-family contemporary and/or colonial style properties have been analyzed, inspected and compared to the subject property in order to produce an estimate of value by the direct sales comparison approach to value.

A number of contemporary cape and/or Colonial style single-family sales have been considered and examined. Four of these sales have been selected and examined in detail to arrive at an indicated value by the direct sales comparison approach to value.

3 Buttonwood Hill 8 1984 2,570 1.09 Road (subject)

All four sales utilized show remarkable consistency in most areas. These are all recent to very recent sales of single-family contemporary, or colonial style dwellings of various sizes and layout in the immediate and general subject neighborhood and/or within a similar subject's market area. Moreover, all four sales utilized are of generally similar vintage and type of construction; hence, exhibiting very similar characteristics and market appeal to the subject.

However, as for locational characteristics, all four sales utilized are generally inferior to those of the subject property which enjoys a park like setting being recessed approximately 300 feet from the roadway. All four sales are recent to very recent since they have occurred between August 2013 and August 2014.

Therefore, all four sales are considered very good comparables as to market conditions and amenities that they have to offer. Other factors considered will be condition of the premises, site and dwelling size, dwelling style-curb appeal, financing, condition of sale and other factors which may have influenced the sale price.

Analysis <As Before)

After adjustment, the sales indicate a value range of $125.00 to $142.99 per square foot; this is a fairly narrow range of values and one from which a reasonable per unit value can be extracted, in our opinion.

The range is reasonably consistent, and provides a reliable indication of value for the subject property by the Direct Sales Comparison Approach to value. Adjustments rendered are reasonable and have been applied to adjust for various characteristics between the comparable sales and the subject property.

If the highest (No. 2) and lowest (No. 4) sales are eliminated the other two sales present a very narrow range of $134.40 to $138.01; by multiplying the subject's 2,570 square feet of gross living area, the indicated value of the subject property lies in the range of $345,408 to $354,686.

This is very consistent with the sales, remembering that three of the sales utilized have been adjusted upward for dwelling condition and are consequently inferior, albeit slightly, to the subject property in that regard. The average of the four sales utilized is $135.10/sq ft.

Considering all of this, considering the subject's good to very good overall condition, considering the subject location, or a rear lot, and considering the current market conditions as to supply and demand, and taking as a value $135.00 per square foot of gross living area above grade, to include the land, all of the site improvements, will result in the following value:

Calculating:

Introduction:

The purpose of this appraisal report is to estimate Market Value impact as a result of the proposed zone change for a large tract identified with the street address of 67 4 and 684 Albany Tpke. (AKA Route 44) and furter identified as Lot 1010674 and 1010684 of Canton Assessor's Map 21.

Specifically, the above captioned proposed zone change property comprises aggregate site size of roughly 39.00 acres currently zoned R-2, or residential 2. As per a zone change application form to the town of Canton Zoning and Planning Commission dated July 2, 2014, the current subject property ownership is requesting a. zone change for 31 acres from the total of approximately 39 acres from residential R-2 to Industrial (I).

As a result, several of the adjoining property owners are very concerned about the resulting negative impact which will result from such zone change, if approved. The proposed zone change property /parcel, has an extensive road frontage along Route 44 AKA Albany Turnpike, and is currently utilized as raw acreage and as agricultural; the net result is a very low, if any, impact on the surrounding residential use(s) as per zoning and as per neighborhood composition.

As part of the zone change request, the property owner reported several consideration which are reported in the following pages, for our purpose.

"The reason for my zone change is to accommodate my strong feelings that there is a significant demand for small uses of development which could be developed in the industrial zone. My feelings were confirmed by recent building opportunities which I will present at the meeting. Per the strategic plan, this zone change and development would promote the health, safety and especially the welfare of the Town. The parcel rates low on the Conservation score of the Conservation Vision and was identified as an opportunity location on the same plan. With proper detention and engineering the development would be healthy and provide a safe environment. "

Introduction, continued

Further considerations reported are stated as follows:

'"' We are proposing the Zone change from R-2 Zone to I-Zone on our location on Route 44, based on several considerations.

A. We envision excellent potential for small business, industrial, and similar users allowed under the I-Zone on this parcel.

B. The development of residential use on the property would be a tax burden for the Town.

C. The adjacent pacel in the Town of New Hartford is zoned industrial and this zone change would be compatible with the adjacent land in New Hartford.

D. The Canton Strategic Plan endorses the use of this land for economic development. The report on page 36 states that only about fifty (50) acres of undeveloped land is zoned for non-residential use in the entire Town. It further states that managing the business to residential tax proportion would be key to keeping the Town's tax rate competitive, and keeping Canton a desirable place to live.

E. The same Strategic Plan on page 36 identifies this parcel land as a potential "opportunity" location.

F. The same Strategic Plan under the chapter "Future Land Use Plan", page 102 rates the parcel as low on the conservation score and moderate on the development vision.

G. We envision that with the extensive frontage on Route 44 and the visibility, we can make this development into a successful project providing job benefits, increased tax base and economic diversity for the Town of Canton. 11

Introduction, continued

Thus, our purpose is to evaluate the subject property "as before" and "as after" to estimate what potential damages, or reduction in fair market value the subject of this report will suffer as well as (equally) ten's of similar single family dwellings which are located in the subject neighborhood as well as extended subject's neighborhood.

The property that is the subject of this report consists of a 2,570 square foot, above grade, fairly newer (1984) residential single family contemporary cape style dwelling, as per assessor's office records, on approximately 1.09 acres (47 ,480± sq ft) of land on the northerly side of Buttonwood Hill Road, in the extreme central-west quadrant of Canton, and immediately to the east of the New Hartford Town Line.

It should be further noted here that the subject property is a rear parcel and as such it enjoys a great deal of privacy, as well as a park like setting, since it's situated roughly 290 feet set back from Buttonwood Hill Road.

There is a bonus room over the garage area comprising approximately 528 sq ft of additional living area fitted for use as bedroom and/or flex-use area; hence, total gross living area is 2,570± sq ft. Our report describes the property in detail, and analyzes the property with respect to market value, as defined in our report.

As already reported, the purpose of this report is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest in the property on an "as is" basis in "the before" and in "the after." The appraisal is self-contained.

Based on the proposed zone change, the following zoning impact will be highlighted, both "in the before" and "in the after".

Purposes

The Residential (R) districts are intended to provide suitable areas primarily for residential uses and development appropriate to the environmental characteristics of the land and character of the neighborhood. The primary difference between the varies R districts is to provide a variety in size and density of residential neighborhoods. These districts are also intended to promote residences while taking into consideration topography, soils, wetlands, natural features, historic assets, agricultural heritage, availability and capacity of infrastructure, and other similar features.

Certain non-residential uses may be allowed in R districts when such uses are compatible with nearby residential uses and preserve neighborhood character.

Industrial District

The industrial district is intended to allow for the manufacturing production, processing, fabrication, assembly, treatment, repair, or packaging of finished productes, predominantly from previsouly prepared or refined materials (or from raw materials that do not need refining) and for warehousing, wholesaling, and distrubution and for other uses appropriate for the district.

1. Business Uses

2. Industrial/Infrastructure Facilites

Volume reduction plant and recycling facility to be limted to: Intake of raw materials and clean bulky construction waste such as bituminous products, brush, cardboard, concrete, dirt, gravel, masonry block, metal, quarry rock, sand, stone, topsoil and wood; compacting, crushing, grinding, screening, separating, sorting, washing, or similar processing of raw materials and construction waste; stockpiling or storing or raw materials, construction waste and processed materials; wholesale and retail sales of processed materials which may include truck weighing facilities; and/or shipment of un-recycleable materials to an approved disposal facility.

Licensed medical marijuana producer provided that all cultivation of marijuana plants be conducted in-doors.

Thus, based on all of the above considerations, it's our opinion that if the proposed zone change for the tract, or residential (R-2) zoned acreage of 31 ± acres, there will be a substantial negative effect as to "marketability"; curb appeal with the impact on demand vs. supply to be felt severely by the closest locations to the proposed zone change property. This will cover a radius of 4 to 5 miles all around.

In other words, given the element of choice, the typical home buyer weight the presence of an industrial park within the immediate subject neighborhood under a negative consideration, whereby the competing locations will be able to attract any potential home buyer based on the reality, as well as the perception, that the subject neighborhood will experience and will be negatively affected by the proposed zone change.

As a result, the only way to complete with the superior neighborhoods in terms of curb appeal and homogeinity of use(s), is to make pricing very competive, which ultimately will result in market value diminuition, everything else being equal.

The table of adjustment for the four comparable sales utilized in "the before" highlights all of these considerations, as well as the negative impact, or potential damages resulting from the proposed zone change.

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH, continued

As a result of the proposed zone change, if approved of the property known as 674 and 684 Albany Turnpike, situated along the south side of Route 44, or in the immediate vicinity of the subject neighborhood, the subject property will be severely negatively affected, in our opinion, based on the following considerations.

I 3 Buttonwood fill Road, Canton, CT I Negative impact resulting from the proposed zone change from R-2 (residential) to industrial (I) for a 31.00 acres tract situated at 674-684 Albany Turnpike

Re-configuration of neighborhood with increased trucks traffic

Increased noise due to additional traffic and trucks

Diminution of curb appeal and marketability; moreover, location will be also negatively affected. Potential damages that can occur to the Artisan Well depending on any potential use(s) that will be allowed if the zone change is approved.

As a result, in "The After" the subject is going to be negatively affected by severance, i.e. damages; thus, the need to appraise the subject property "As Before" and "As After"

The subject propety is a single family owner occupied contemporary cape style dwelling (fairly newer, 1984), over full and unfinished basement, on a site of 1.09± acres (47,480± sq ft) zoned R-2, low density residential district.

Analysis <As After)

After adjustment, the sales indicate a value range of $95.66 to $100.09 per square foot; with intermediate values of $96.61 and $99.84/sq ft of GLA; this is a very narrow range of values and one from which a reasonable per unit value can be extracted, in our opinion. The average sales price is $98.05/sq ft of GLA.

Considering all of this, considering the subject's good to very good overall condition, considering the subject location, curb appeal and impact on marketability, and considering the current market conditions as to supply and demand, and taking as a value $100.00 per square foot of gross living area above grade, to include the land, all of the site improvements, will result in the following value:

Calculating:

2,570 sq ft x $100/sq ft = $257 ,000

Value (as improved), in total, by Direct Sales Comparison:

$255,000 (As After) (TWO HUNDRED FIFrY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS)

Estimate of Market Value (As Before): $345,000 Estimate of Market Value (As After): $255,000

The resulting economic impact, i.e. damages is $90,000, or 26.1 % diminution of value

The reconciliation and final value estimate consists of a review of the approach to value, and a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. From this discussion and review, a final value estimate for the subject property will be derived.

The four sales utilized are located in the immediate and/ or general subject neighborhood and/or within a similar subject's market area; in addition the four comparable sales have occurred between the period of August 2013 to August 20104 and are considered good to very good comparable sales before and after adjustments.

Consequently. your appraiser believes that the market approach to value. as applied to the land and total property. as it existed at the subject property on August 22. 2014. or "as before." represents the most reliable approach. and indeed. the only realistically feasible approach to value for the property being appraised.

Exposure and Marketing Period The established market value reflects an exposure time of twelve months, reflecting the period prior to the date of value. A marketing period within twelve months is implicit in this analysis, recognizing the time period after the date of value to liquidate the subject property. The exposure time and the marketing period are based on the known marketing time of the sales in the region.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE, continued

Therefore, after having considered all of the factors that influence the value of real property, and based on the information gathered by your appraiser, it is our opinion that the retrospective market value of the subject property, "as before" and "as after," as of August 22, 2014, was:

Total Property Value, As Before:

$345,000 (THREE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS)

Total Property Value, As After:

$255,000 (TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS)

Damages (Diminution of Fair Market Value): $90,000 (26.1 % Diminution of Value) (NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS)
