Sample Narrative Appraisal Report Convenience Store Appraisal Report Notes Convenience stores and gas stations are specialized income-producing commercial real estate referred to as “Trade-Related Property”. Because these properties are a specialized type of real estate, additional analysis and procedures are required in the appraisal report. To produce a credible appraisal, the appraiser should include: Trade Area Analysis 1. Trade area boundaries for the subject should be defined (see page 63). 2. Supply and demand within the trade area should be mathematically measured. (see page 66). 3. Customer demographics within the trade area should be recognized (see page 68). 4. Hypermarket competition should be identified (see page 68). Sales Comparison Approach Separate line-item adjustments for differences between the subject and comparable sales should be made for the following (see page 90): (a) Supply and demand, (b) Customer demographics, (c) Hypermarket competition, (d) Wet or Dry (alcohol sales prohibited) locations Capitalized Income Approach This is the primary approach and the most reliable. The Capitalized Income Approach is a direct measure of the subject’s earnings capacity to economically sustain the value of the real estate. Rentals derived from sale/leaseback transactions are not reliable indications of market rent and should be avoided. To produce an estimate of the fee simple value, the appraiser must develop an independent projection of earnings (gallonage and inside sales) under typical management and not merely extrapolate the current operator’s profit and loss statements. The appraiser’s independent projection of earnings is developed from the industry analysis, trade area analysis and physical characteristics of the subject site and improvements (see page 80).

Nationally, operating margins and pre-tax profits are declining for the convenience industry. Convenience Industry Risk: The convenience industry is one channel of the retail industry within the U.S. This section reflects the overall performance of the convenience channel as compared to U.S. economy as a whole. □ HIGH - Above average risk for reduced sales and profit margins as compared to the overall performance of the U.S. economy. ■ MODERATE - Average risk for future earnings and profits as compared to the overall performance of the U.S. economy □ LOW - Below average risk for future sales and profits as compared to the overall U.S. economy. Other Issues: This is a petroleum marketing property that has historically been used for the retail sale of motor fuels. Petroleum products are environmental contaminants. No environmental investigation has been made by the appraiser. It is assumed for the purposes of this appraisal that the subject property is clean and free from all contamination. The client is strongly advised to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property through the State Department of Environmental Quality or through the services of a qualified environmental inspection service. Any actual presence of environmental issues will have a significant negative effect on the market value of this property. Sub-Market Risk: Retail gasoline locations within 2 miles of a hypermarket can be expected to experience severe competition. These locations pose significant and unacceptable levels of investment and lender risk. ■ HIGH - Hypermarkets present within 2 miles. And/or over-supplied Trade Area. (Location Quotients calculated at less than 0.75). □ MODERATE - No hypermarkets within 2 miles. Trade Area in supply and demand equilibrium (Location Quotient calculated at 0.75 to 1.0). □ LOW - No hypermarkets within 2 miles. Trade Area is under-supplied (Location Quotient calculated at greater than 1.0). Nearest Competing Hypermarket: Walmart Neighborhood Store. Trade area in slight over- supply. HYPERMARKETS ARE A SIGNIFICANT COMPETITIVE THREAT. IN SUB-MARKETS WHERE HYPERMARKETS EXIST, RETAIL FUEL MARGINS ARE OFTEN DRIVEN BELOW 5 CENTS PER GALLON. Repairs, Required Inspections, Environmental Issues and Recommendations Appraisal contingent repairs are noted below: 1. None. The existing rest rooms are not ADA-compliant. The front entry may not be ADA-compliant. A compliance inspection should be made for features covered under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Other: 1. New 8-ton air conditioning unit was installed in 2013 at a reported cost of $10,000. 2. No environmental contamination issues were reported. Extraordinary Assumptions: 1. It is assumed that no environmental contamination exists. 2. A prospective value estimate is made assuming completion of proposed construction on December 31, 2015, which is the effective date of value. The proposed construction includes expanding the existing building of 1,560 square feet to 2,790 square feet. The entire interior of the building will be remodeled with new, repositioned, ADA-compliant rest rooms, a new 11- door cooler, 2-door freezer, game room, and repositioned cashier’s station. The electrical, plumbing and HVAC will be substantially new. A new front facade will be construction with two new entries. The fuel service will remain largely “as-is”.

  • Newlander Thesis FINAL
    ABSTRACT In many Mojave Desert ecosystems, water infiltrates to root-zones in greatest proportion via washes. As such, washes have a pronounced effect on plant dispersion and size across these landscapes. Desert roads alter the natural spatial patterns of washes on alluvial fans (locally called bajadas) and potentially affect plant production and distribution. As a winter-rainfall dominated ecosystem, climate changes in the Mojave Desert that increase summer precipitation may also play an important role in altering vegetation processes influenced by washes. Road effects on the spatial distribution of desert plants on a Mojave Desert bajada were examined using remotely sensed LiDAR data and ground based measurements of plant size. Plant physiological responses to summer wash flow were also quantified by measuring gas exchange and water status of two dominant perennial species, Larrea tridentata and Ambrosia dumosa. Larrea and Ambrosia plants were nearly 7x and 4x larger where wash flow has been enhanced by road culverts, relative to undisturbed areas and areas where flow has been cut-off by the presence of a road/railroad. Clustering of large plants occurred along wash margins, with clustering most pronounced in areas of enhanced wash flow. No clustering was found where wash flow has been eliminated. For ecophysiological traits, both species showed pronounced responses to the pulse of water; however, these responses varied as a function of distance from wash. Larrea plants within 3 m and Ambrosia plants within ca. 2 m from the wash responded to the pulse of water. Leaf phenology dictated the timing ii of carbon gain as Larrea experienced a rapid but short-lived increase in stomatal conductance compared to a significant response for over a month following the pulse for Ambrosia.

In Poland it is mainly found on the west coast and also rarely in central parts. It has been seen in Puck Bay and the Gulf of Gdańsk as well as in Hel Peninsula. The grassleaf orache is a halophyte, terophyte and a sunlight-loving plant. Data shows that apart from on the coast, this species may also appear in in- land areas, for example on ruderal habitats such as roadsides. The results of our observations confirm the presence of the species on beaches and rocky bank reinforcement, with accumulation of annual vegetation in the Hel Peninsula and Puck Bay.

Schwinning,1* D. R. Sandquist,2 D. M. Miller,3 D. R. Bedford,3 S. L. Phillips4†andJ.Belnap4 1 Biology Department, Texas State University, San Marcos, TX 78666, USA 2 Department of Biological Science, California State University, Fullerton, CA 92834, USA 3 U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA 4 USGS Southwest Biological Science Center, 2290 So. Resource Blvd, Moab, UT 84532, USA ABSTRACT Drainage channels are among the most conspicuous surficial features of deserts, but little quantitative analysis of their influence on plant distributions is available. We analysed the effects of desert stream channels (‘washes’) on Larrea tridentata and Ambrosia dumosa density and cover on an alluvial piedmont in the Mojave Desert, based on a spatial analysis of transect data encompassing a total length of 2775 m surveyed in 5 cm increments. Significant deviations from average transect properties were identified by bootstrapping. Predictably, shrub cover and density were much reduced inside washes, and elevated above average levels adjacent to washes. Average Larrea and Ambrosia cover and density peaked 1Ð2–1Ð6mand0Ð5–1Ð0 m from wash edges, respectively. We compared wash effects in runon-depleted (R) sections, where washes had been cut off from runon and were presumably inactive, with those in runon-supplemented (CR) sections downslope from railroad culverts to help identify mechanisms responsible for the facilitative effect of washes on adjacent shrubs.
