STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS

REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR

SEPTEMBER, 2007

TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE

JERRY PATTERSON, COMMISSIONER

INTRODUCTION

SB 1262 Summary Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 31, Subchapter E, [Senate Bill 1262, 74th Texas Legislature, 1995] amended two years of previous law related to the reporting and disposition of state agency land. The amendments established a more streamlined process for disposing of unused or underused agency land by defining a reporting and review sequence between the Land Commissioner and the Governor. Under this process, the Asset Management Division of the General Land Office provides the Governor with a list of state agency properties that have been identified as unused or underused and a set of recommended real estate transactions. The Governor has 90 days to approve or disapprove the recommendations, after which time the Land Commissioner is authorized to conduct the approved transactions. The Statute freezes the ability of land-owning state agencies to change the use or dispose of properties that have recommended transactions, from the time the list is provided to the Governor to a date two years after the recommendation is approved by the Governor. Agencies have the opportunity to submit to the Governor development plans for the future use of the property, within 60 days of the listing date, for the purpose of providing the Governor with information on which to base the decision regarding the recommendations. The General Land Office may deduct expenses from transaction proceeds. Proceeds are dispersed, as appropriate, to either the Texas Capital Trust Fund, the State Treasury to the credit of the affected agency, or as otherwise directed by the Legislative Budget Board.

INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED)

The Report to the Governor The report to the Governor contains 1) a list of sites that have recommendations for real estate transactions, 2) a set of property descriptions and recommendations for transactions (a separate page for each property), and 3) a list of all state agency properties that have so far been identified as unused or underused by the Asset Management Division in its most current periodic review of agency land under the property review process set forth in Texas Natural Resources Code, Section 31.1571, et. seq. (Exhibit A). Recommended Transactions Recommended transactions, in all cases, identify the disposition options such as lease, sell or trade. In some cases recommendations are accompanied by specific language that defines issues that must be dealt with prior to a transaction. In these cases, the narrative is considered an essential element of the recommendation. Appraised Value New appraisals will be obtained prior to any transaction.

Location: ...................................................................................4203 Bull Creek Rd, Austin, Travis County

This vacant tract of land is owned by TBPC but is under the management and control of the Texas Cemetery Commission. It was transferred from TxDOT to TBPC in 2000, after having been designated by the Legislature for a state cemetery. It is in a prime residential area located on the east side of Bull Creek Rd, just south of 45th St in north-central Austin.

Surrounding land use includes residential, office and medical tracts. The appraisal indicates the highest and best use for this land is to develop as residential and mixed-use development. This is a highly desirable residential and mixed-use area in Austin. The site is not being used by TBPC nor is it currently being developed as a cemetery. It is estimated the site will not be needed as a cemetery for over 30 years with some estimates at twice that time frame. A better alternative might be to purchase land around the existing State Cemetery closer to the time it is needed. This site was presented on the 2005 Report to the Governor and was not disapproved.

The GLO recommends disposal of this unused site.

Asset GLO Recommendation:Dispose of this unused site.

TBPC previously used this site as an office and storage facility. Presently vacant, improvements include two buildings in average condition. The buildings were erected in the early 1970's. Surrounding land use is primarily industrial, commercial and retail. The zoning is commercial. The appraisal indicates the highest and best use is for industrial/commercial development.

The Lubbock economy is diverse and real estate market activity has increased over the past two years. Texas Tech remains the economic constant, with agriculture also playing a major economic role. This site was presented on the 2005 Report to the Governor and was not disapproved. The GLO recommends sale of this unused site.

Asset GLO Recommendation:Dispose of this underutilized site.

Location: .............................................................................................Hwy 84, Fairfield, Freestone County

TDCJ uses this 733.65-acre site to support a 1,330-bed medium-security prison for male offenders. Located five miles southwest of Fairfield on Hwy 84, it is improved with 19 buildings. Surrounding land uses are timber/woodlands, agricultural, ranching and residential development. The prison compound is contained in Parcel A and is situated on approximately 37 acres with the remaining acreage in agricultural land or native hardwood timber. TDCJ indicates that 98.7 acres are in vegetable crops, 80 acres are used for horse grazing, and 45 acres are in hay production. Approximately 473 acres (Parcel B) are considered unused timberland. The majority of the timber is hardwood.

The appraisal indicates the highest and best use is for continued use as a prison and for agriculture production. The GLO agrees that the 37 acres used to support the prison compound and the 223.7 acres utilized for agricultural operations should be retained by the Agency. However, the GLO recommends that TDCJ intensify the use of the 473 acres of unused timberland or it should be sold or leased.

This property was included on the 2002 Governor's Report and not disapproved. It was also submitted on the 2005 Governor's Report.

Asset GLO Recommendation:Retain approximately 260.65 acres (Parcel A) for continued agency operations. Sell or lease approximately 473 acres (Parcel B) of unused timberland.

TDCJ utilizes the site to support a 2,758-bed correctional facility for male offenders. It is located 16 miles south of Huntsville off FM 980 in Walker County. The main compound is on approximately 292 acres, with 4,186.3 acres used for agricultural operations including pastureland and livestock production (Parcel A). In 1999, the GLO received approval from the Governor to sell 2,528.85 acres of unused timberland. In 2003, the Permanent School Fund purchased 1,548 acres of the governor approved acreage.

The remaining 980.85 acres (Parcel B) of timberland is only occasionally being utilized for grazing. The GLO recommends this acreage be sold if it is not needed on a fulltime basis. GLO is working with TDCJ to address any concerns it has regarding the proximity of this acreage to the TDCJ employee housing. Most of the timber on the tract is hardwood and therefore would have limited value. GLO finds that the property could be developed into smaller tract residential ranchettes or possibly sold in larger tracts for recreational use.

This tract was included on the 1999 and the 2005 Governor's Report and not disapproved.

Asset GLO Recommendation:Retain 4,478.3 acres (Parcel A) supporting the prison compound and agricultural operations. The remaining approximately 980.85 acres (Parcel B) should be disposed of.

Location: ...................................................................................4305 Bull Creek Rd, Austin, Travis County

The Texas Department of Transportation utilizes this tract as a warehouse, motor pool, laboratory and research facility. This 29.5 acre tract is located along Bull Creek Rd inside Loop 1 (Mopac) in central Austin. The building improvements add no value to the whole and the site was appraised as vacant. Surrounding land uses are high-end residential and few commercial sites. Across Bull Creek Rd is a mixture of small suburban offices, condominiums and single-family residences. The tract is not in a flood-designated area.

This site has desirable physical characteristics that could accommodate various types of development. The highest and best use for the tract, as determined by the appraisal, is for single-family residential development. The GLO has received numerous inquiries related to the potential availability of the site for development.

The GLO included the entire site on the 2005 Governor's Report and was not disapproved. TxDOT has now completed their Cedar Park campus. The appraisal indicates there is ample room for expansion and as such the GLO finds that TxDOT should sell the Annex and relocate the operation to another facility.

This site in Barnhart is vacant and unused. The site is improved with three buildings that are falling into disrepair, and impervious cover. The tract was cleaned up, buildings painted, and minor repairs were made to the improvements, but there is much deferred maintenance still required. Surrounding land uses include home sites, and rangeland.

The appraisal indicates highest and best use is industrial development. Barnhart is a small rural community. Major sources of income include ranching and the oil and gas industry. The GLO feels the site is unused/underutilized and should be sold.

Currently this site one mile southeast of Canton is considered vacant with the exception of materials storage. It is improved with five buildings, asphalt paving, fencing, and security lighting. Surrounding land uses include residential and commercial tracts. The site was appraised as a whole, land and buildings were not assigned separate values.

The appraisal indicates the highest and best use for this site is speculative commercial investment. The Canton real estate market is active along SH 64 and the economy is helped by revenue generated by "First Monday Trade Days" antiques trading. There are many small shops, restaurants and hotels. This site is about two miles east of the "First Monday" event grounds. The GLO finds this site is underutilized and should be sold or leased.

The Texas Department of Transportation maintains this site for an alternate use as a highway material storage site. It is located one mile west of the downtown area on SH 78. It is improved with one building which is being used as a warehouse and has suffered physical deterioration. The building is considered in poor condition and adds no value to the land. Surrounding land use is primarily commercial and residential development.

The appraisal indicates the highest and best use would be for commercial development. Farmersville is a rural area but is growing since the north Dallas suburbs of Plano and McKinney are growing in that direction. Residential building is occurring in Farmersville. The subject is east of the growth pattern but the SH78 location should enhance the future value. The GLO finds that a more intensive use for this site would be appropriate and recommends sale.

The Texas Department of Transportation uses this site as a materials storage yard for the Mineola maintenance operation. Located on SH 154, two miles east of downtown Quitman, it is improved with one building, asphalt surfacing and fencing. Surrounding land uses include commercial businesses, vacant land, woodlands and residential housing. The site was appraised as a whole, land and buildings were not assigned separate values.

The appraisal indicates the highest and best use is for commercial or speculative investment utilizing the existing improvements. The site is on a major thoroughfare through Wood County and commercial growth is robust in the area. The GLO finds that if TxDOT no longer requires use of the site a more intense use is appropriate and the property should be disposed of.

Asset GLO Recommendation:When TxDOT no longer requires use of the site, it should be disposed of.

This site in South Tyler on SH 155 is vacant. Since the time of last reporting, the buildings have fallen into disrepair and suffer deterioration. Surrounding land uses include older residential sites to the north and west, a church to the south, and scattered small businesses. The appraisal was performed as though the site was vacant with the buildings adding no contributing value.

The appraisal indicates the highest and best use is for commercial development. The industrial sector is not concentrated in any particular sector of Tyler. Business, retail and residential growth are expanding to the south and southwest of the city. The GLO recommends disposal of this underutilized site.
