ISSUE
STATEMENT:
The Council is requested to declare an approximately 0.5 acre unaddressed property
adjacent to 3494 Gateway Blvd, Springfield, Oregon near the southwest corner of
Randy Pape Beltline and Gateway Blvd (Map 17-03-22-20, Tax Lot 1300 and 1201
before property line adjustment), to be surplus property. The property is zoned
Community Commercial and currently unimproved with some paving.

2. Purchase and Sale Agreement with BOEV, LLC
3. Appraisal Report (February 2020)
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
On April 12, 2021, the City Council approved entering into a conditional Purchase
and Sale Agreement for approximately 0.5 acre of unaddressed property adjacent to
3494 Gateway Blvd near the southwest corner of Randy Pape Beltline and Gateway
Blvd. The surplus property is a portion of an overall 0.77 acre site that the City
acquired from ODOT in February 2021, including Tax Lots 1300 and 1201, where
the Springfield Flame Sculpture is located. The City paid ODOT $345,000 ($10.31
per square foot) for the property, based on the February 2020 appraised real market
value (Attachment 1).
The surplus property is approximately 0.5 acres of the property obtained from
ODOT that is not necessary for the City to retain for its purpose of maintaining the
Springfield Flame Sculpture. The property lacks legal vehicular access from
Gateway Blvd and would be reliant on future access from the adjacent property
owner, BOEV LLC. For that reason, the City proposes to sell the surplus property
to BOEV LLC under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (Attachment
2), for a price of $224,552 ($10.31 per square foot). Note that there was a minor
error in the Purchase and Sale Agreement; the reference to Tax Lot 1200 should be
a reference to Tax Lot 1201. The City has obtained approval of a tentative property
line adjustment to transfer approximately 0.03 acres from Tax Lot 1201 to Tax Lot
1300 (Case No. 811-21-000094-TYP1), to facilitate sale of the surplus property.
Before closing the sale of the property to BOEV LLC, the City Council must hold a
public hearing and declare the subject property to be not needed for public use.

Map 17-03-22-20, Tax Lots 1200 and 1300
Dear Ms. Griesel:
As per our agreement, I have completed an appraisal of the above-captioned property. The subject
of this report consists of a 33,477-square-foot (0.77-acre) site zoned CC, Community Commercial. A
site survey provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) indicated the site size is
33,477 square feet. The subject is located at the southwest corner of Randy Pape Beltline and
Gateway Street in Springfield, Lane County, Oregon and is further identified by the Lane County
Department of Assessment and Taxation as Tax Lots 1200 and 1300 on Map 17-03-22-20.
There is no legal vehicular access to the subject property. The subject has frontage on the west side
of Gateway Street and the south side of Randy Pape Beltline. There are no driveway approaches to
the subject from the street frontage at the property lines. The ODOT appraisal specifications also
indicate access is completely restricted to Beltline Highway and Gateway Street. This would be
included as a deed restriction upon any conveyance of ownership of the property.
The purpose of this inspection and subsequent analysis was to estimate the fee simple market value
of the subject property as of the latest date of inspection. The highest and best use of the subject
property is for assemblage with the adjacent property to the west (Tax Lot 1600) for interim use
and future redevelopment. Given the concluded highest and best use, the only potential buyer of the
property is the owner of the adjacent property to the west. As such, the valuation of the subject
surplus property was based upon an analysis of the “Across the Fence” value of the adjacent
property. The across the fence value was adjusted by what is concluded to be the most appropriate
market-derived discount to reflect the contributory value of the surplus property for assemblage
with the adjacent property. The valuation of the property is also subject to the following
hypothetical conditions:
The north portion of the site is improved with a piece of artwork known as the Springfield Flame,
which is a 62-foot-tall metal flame sculpture on a concrete slab. A plaza and seatwall area have been
proposed to be installed around the sculpture for future public use. The existing sculpture is not
Attachment 3, Page 2 of 79
Duncan & Brown
Ms. Courtney Griesel, City of Springfield
February 7, 2020
included in the valuation of the property, as per the appraisal specifications provided by ODOT.
Therefore, the value conclusion is based on a hypothetical condition that the sculpture does not
exist on the site and the site is bare land with no improvements as of the effective date of value,
January 28, 2020. The application of this hypothetical condition may affect the assignment results.
The subject property is known to have contamination. The site contamination is not to be
considered in the valuation of the property, as per the appraisal specifications provided by ODOT.
Therefore, the value conclusion is based on a hypothetical condition that the subject is clean, as
per the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality residential exposure criteria. The application
of this hypothetical condition may affect the assignment results.
After an inspection of the subject property, subsequent research and analysis of pertinent market
data, and consideration of the hypothetical conditions described herein, it is my opinion the fee
simple market value of the subject property for assemblage with Tax Lot 1600, as of January 28,
2020, was:
FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$470,000
This appraisal conforms to the current edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP), as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. In
addition, this report complies with the current Oregon Department of Transportation appraisal
policy and procedures, as outlined in ODOT’s Right of Way Manual; ODOT’s Guide to Appraising
Real Property, and the Appraisal Specification Worksheet(s) provided from ODOT.
I certify this appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics and
Standards of Professional Practices set forth by the Appraisal Institute. I certify I have no present or
contemplated interest in the property and the fee for making this appraisal is not predicated upon
reporting any specified value or value range.
Please contact me at your convenience if any additional data or information is required.

*The subject is exempt from taxation as it is publicly owned.
Parcel Size: 33,477 square feet, or 0.77 of an acre, per the site survey
provided to the appraiser, dated December 28, 2018. Tax
Lot 1200 is indicated to be 13,098 square feet and Tax
Lot 1300 is indicated to be 20,379 square feet.
The Lane County Assessor records and information in the
preliminary title report legal description indicate the site
size to be 0.97-of-an-acre. The larger site size does not
take into consideration that a portion of site is located
within retained public right-of-way. A deed relinquishing
the retained right of way area to the city was recorded on
January 21, 2020 (Deed No. 2020-003155). The 0.77-of-
an-acre site size in the survey provided will be utilized in
the analysis of the subject property.
Flood Hazard Area: According to FEMA Map 41039C1133F, effective June 2,
1999, the subject is located in Zone X, areas determined
to be outside the 500-year floodplain.
Access: There is no legal vehicular access to the subject property.
The subject has frontage on the west side of Gateway
Street and the south side of Randy Pape Beltline. There
Attachment 3, Page 6 of 79
Executive Summary

are no driveway approaches to the subject from the
street frontage at the property lines. The ODOT appraisal
specifications also indicate access is completely
restricted to Beltline Highway and Gateway Street. This
would be included as a deed restriction upon any
conveyance of ownership of the property. The nearest
existing driveway approach is located approximately 100
to 110 feet south of the south property line of the subject
on the adjacent property (Tax Lot 1600). This driveway
provides a physical access to the subject property across
the adjacent property; however, it is not a legal access to
the subject property as there is no known access
easement agreement to provide legal access to the
subject site across the adjacent property.
Zoning: CC, Community Commercial
Utilities: Public electricity, water, sewer, natural gas and
telephone service are available to the property.
Present Use/Site Improvements: The north portion of the site is improved with a piece of
artwork known as the Springfield Flame, which is a 62-
foot-tall metal flame sculpture on a concrete slab. There
are gravel ground coverings on the north portion of the
site surrounding the sculpture. The south portion of the
site is unimproved land with remnants from the former
use including some asphalt paving and gravel ground
coverings. There is approximately 215 feet of temporary
concrete construction barriers on the site along the edge
of the asphalt paving on the southern portion of the site.
These barriers are considered personal property and are
not included in the valuation.
Highest & Best Use: Assemblage with the adjacent improved property to the
north (Tax Lot 1600) for interim use and future
redevelopment.
Market Value Conclusion—
Assemblage Value (with TL 1600): $460,000 (subject to hypothetical conditions on page 8)

A SSUMPTIONS & L IMITING C ONDITIONS
Hypothetical Conditions
1. The north portion of the site is improved with a piece of artwork known as the Springfield
Flame, which is a 62-foot-tall metal flame sculpture on a concrete slab. A plaza and seatwall
area have been proposed to be installed around the sculpture for future public use. The
existing sculpture is not included in the valuation of the property, as per the appraisal
specifications provided by ODOT. Therefore, the value conclusion is based on a
hypothetical condition that the sculpture does not exist on the site and the site is bare land
with no improvements as of the effective date of value, January 28, 2020. The application of
this hypothetical condition may affect the assignment results.
2. The subject property is known to have contamination. The site contamination is not to be
considered in the valuation of the property, as per the appraisal specifications provided by
ODOT. Therefore, the value conclusion is based on a hypothetical condition that the subject
is clean, as per the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality residential exposure
criteria. The application of this hypothetical condition may affect the assignment results.
General Assumptions
1. Title to the property is assumed good and marketable unless otherwise stated in this report.
No responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for such matters including legal or
title considerations.
2. The property is appraised free and clear of any or all liens or encumbrances unless
otherwise stated in this report.
3. Responsible ownership and competent property management are assumed unless
otherwise stated in this report.
4. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable. However, no warranty is
given for its accuracy.
5. All engineering is assumed to be correct. Any plot plans or illustrative materials in this
report are included only to assist the reader in visualizing the property.
6. It is assumed there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil or
structures that render it more or less valuable. No responsibility is assumed for such
conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them.
7. It is assumed there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
environmental regulations and laws, unless non-compliance is stated, defined and
considered in the appraisal report.
8. The appraiser is not qualified to detect hazardous waste and/or toxic materials. Any
comment by the appraiser that may suggest the possibility of the presence of such
substances should not be taken as confirmation of the presence of hazardous waste and/or
toxic materials. Such determination would require investigation by a qualified expert in the
field of environmental assessment. The presence of hazardous materials may affect the
value of the property. Unless a Phase I Environmental Assessment has been provided and
Attachment 3, Page 8 of 79
Assumptions & Limiting Conditions
Duncan & Brown - 9 -
referenced within the report, the appraiser’s value estimate is predicated on the assumption
there is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value unless
otherwise stated in this report. No responsibility is assumed for any environmental
conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them.
9. Compliance with all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions is assumed
unless a nonconforming use has been stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report.
10. It is assumed all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents or other legislative or
administrative authority from any local, state or national government, private entity or
organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value
estimated contained in this report is based.
11. It is assumed the utilization of the land is within the boundaries or property lines of the
property described and there is no encroachment or trespass unless otherwise stated in this
report.
12. Any sketch in this report may show approximate dimensions and is included to assist the
reader in visualizing the property. Maps and exhibits found in this report are provided for
reader reference purposes only. No guarantee as to accuracy is expressed or implied unless
otherwise stated in this report.
13. It is assumed that no conditions of title exist which would restrict and/or inhibit
development of the property in its highest and best use.
14. It is assumed that, inasmuch as a detailed soils survey was not provided, the soil conditions
found within the subject property would not excessively restrict and/or inhibit its
development when compared to competing sites.
General Limiting Conditions
1. Possession of this report, or a copy thereof, does not carry with it the right of publication. It
may not be used for any purpose by any person other than the party to whom it is
addressed without the written consent of the appraiser, and in any event only with proper
written qualification and only in its entirety.
2. The appraiser is not required to give further consultation, testimony, or be in attendance in
court with reference to the property in question by reason of this appraisal, unless
arrangements have been previously made.
3. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report, including any conclusions as to value,
the identity of the appraiser, or the firm with which the appraiser is connected, shall be
disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales or other media
without the prior written consent and approval of the appraiser.

P ERTINENT D EFINITIONS
Fair Market Value
The amount of money, in cash, that property would bring if offered for sale by one who desired but
was not obliged to sell, and was bought by one willing but not obliged to buy. It is the actual value of
the property on the date of the taking, with all its adaptations to general and special uses, that is to
be considered.1
Fee Simple Estate
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations
imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.2
Highest and Best Use
The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the
highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and
maximum productivity.3
When a site contains improvements, the highest and best use may be determined to be different
than the existing use. The existing use will continue unless and until land value in its highest and
best use exceeds the sum of the value of the entire property in its existing use, and the cost to
remove the improvements.
An additional implication is that the determination of the highest and best use results from the
appraiser’s judgment and analytical skills, that is, 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.

M ARKET A REA D ESCRIPTION
Greater Eugene‐Springfield Metropolitan Area
The Eugene/Springfield metropolitan
area is located in Lane County, in the
central, western portion of the state of
Oregon. The Willamette Valley is the
most densely populated portion of the
state, with the three largest
metropolitan areas—Portland, Salem
and Eugene/ Springfield—located at
the north, middle and south ends of
the valley, respectively.
The community is situated at the
confluence of the McKenzie and
Willamette rivers at the head of the
Willamette Valley. The Willamette
River flows northward from the
southern valley to its confluence with the Columbia River at Portland and Vancouver, Washington.
The Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area is approximately 440 feet above sea level, and the
topography of the area is flat valley floor and flood plain land. The head of the Willamette Valley is
bordered by the Coast Range on the west and the Cascade Range foothills on the east; the area to
the south is mountainous as well. The valley is open to the north.
Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and is also known as “Track Town USA” for its
abundant running trails and renowned venue, Hayward Field. Springfield, historically a mill town, is
situated between the McKenzie River and the middle fork of the Willamette River. The McKenzie
River is world famous for fly-fishing and summer steelhead. Bedroom communities within
commuting distance of the larger metropolitan area include Veneta, Junction City, Harrisburg,
Coburg, Creswell and Cottage Grove. The metropolitan area is popular for its natural beauty and
rich recreational opportunities bolstered by its proximity to the Cascade Mountains, Willamette
Valley vineyards, and Oregon coast.
Population & Demographics
Eugene/Springfield is Oregon’s second largest metropolitan area, following Portland/Vancouver
and the fifth most populous metropolitan area in the Oregon/Washington/Idaho tri-state region.
Approximately 70% of the population of Lane County resides within five miles of the
Eugene/Springfield metro area. Population growth, regionally and statewide, has been influenced
significantly by economic conditions over the past several decades. Population statistics show rapid
population growth in Oregon since 1980, as demonstrated in the table below:

In-migration has been the driving force behind population growth in Lane County, due to the
availability of job opportunities, a relatively affordable cost of living, moderate local climate and
appealing lifestyle amenities. The increase in Oregon’s population in the last few years was due
largely to net migration, which, at 47,600 people, was one of the largest net migrations since 1996.
Over the past 20 years, Oregon had an average net migration of 28,600 people per year. The lowest
number of net migrants over the last 20 years was 7,000 in 2010 during the recession. In general,
net migration increases as the economy expands and more jobs become available; during
recessions, the population becomes less mobile. This fact, combined with Oregon experiencing a
deeper recession than the nation as a whole, brought net migration to its lowest levels since the
1980s.4
Real Estate Development Patterns
The high economic growth periods in the 1920s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1990s saw the most
development activity, with new development extending outward from the city centers. Both Eugene
and Springfield saw high levels of residential, commercial and industrial development between
2000 and 2006. The late 2000s economic recession severely curtailed new development in almost
all segments of the local market area. In the current expansion cycle, there has been a notable
increase in development activity, absorption of vacant lots, and lowered vacancy throughout the
market area.
Residential Development—
Most of the area’s single-family housing was built from 1965 to 1980, and consists primarily of
average-quality, ranch-style homes. Residential development slowed during the recession of 1981-
83, with new construction gaining speed beginning in 1988 and continuing until the recession in
2007. New single-family homes constructed since 1988 are of generally higher quality than those of
the 1970s, with two-level houses more prevalent due to smaller lots. Between 2008 and 2012,
building activity fell well below the historic average for single-family homes. Residential building

construction has increased more recently, but not to pre-recession levels due mostly to high
construction costs and a constrained land supply.
Multi-family development in the area ranges in age from new to 50 years old. Most multi-family
structures are wood-frame, garden-court style, suburban apartment complexes. A large number of
units were constructed in the 1990s, which resulted in above-average vacancy for an extended
period of time as new units were absorbed. Recent building permit data indicates that over 5,000
new apartment units have been constructed in Eugene and Springfield since 2010 with
approximately 50% of those units being University of Oregon campus-oriented development.
Nevertheless, vacancy has remained low and rents have been increasing, suggesting an under-
supply in the market.
New housing construction in Lane County peaked in 2005 before the recession and dropped
dramatically from 2006 to 2009. The most recent building permit data shows a drop in single-
family construction and an increase in multi-unit buildings.5 Multi-unit structures of five or more
units grew rapidly in 2013 and 2014 from a boom in student housing associated with the University
of Oregon. Construction of single-family units has steadily increased since bottoming out in 2011,
although it is still well below pre-recession levels due mostly to lack of available land.6 Overall,
building activity is recovering to stable levels, but limited land availability and high construction
costs will continue to temper the addition of new units to the area.
Commercial and Industrial Development—
Commercial development includes a central business district in Eugene’s downtown core,
neighborhood shopping centers, two regional malls, and a large lifestyle shopping center, which
account for much of the retail space in the market area. Downtown Eugene contains a large amount
of office space with city, county, and federal governments occupying the largest share. The
downtown Springfield area has a limited supply of general office space, with government agencies
occupying the majority of what is available. Over the past 15 years, newer offices have been
developed by owner-occupants in the Coburg Road, Chad Drive, and Crescent Avenue subareas in
north Eugene, as well as in the Gateway subarea in northwest Springfield.
The Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area has several established industrial neighborhoods. The
West Eugene industrial neighborhood is the largest and most heavily developed industrial area in
the city of Eugene. Industrial development is also occurring near Highway 99N/Airport Road, a
developing area with a large amount of vacant land. Industrial development in Springfield is located
on the south side of South A Street and in areas near Olympic Street and 42nd Street. Between 2005
and 2007, prior to the late-2000s recession, industrial development had also been occurring at a
historically high level.
Economic Conditions
The Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area is the regional hub for manufacturing, services and
government in the southern Willamette Valley. The primary trading area population is
approximately 220,000, and retail, wholesale, and professional services serve an overall population
of approximately 550,000, which includes all of Lane County and portions of neighboring counties.
Forest products manufacturing, once a major economic driver in Lane County, has declined over
several decades due to changes in forest practices and global economic conditions. Another major
industry, recreational vehicle manufacturing, was substantially impacted by the most recent
recession, resulting in the closure of several RV manufacturing plants locally. Consequently, Lane
County’s economy has diversified to include an increasing number of jobs in service industries such
as retail trade, customer service and health care. The area is home to an expanding artisan food and

beverage industry. Regional vineyards, breweries, food manufacturers and retailers are proliferating
in the Willamette Valley. Ninkasi Brewing, with over 80 local employees, has risen to the third-
largest beer producer in Oregon and 32nd in national beer sales, capturing a portion of the $10.2
billion craft beer industry nationwide.7 It has expanded its brewing and storage capacity in
downtown Eugene and extended its distribution network to 14 states and Canada.8 Other organic
and artisan food producers include chocolatiers, dairy producers, and other specialized food
makers.
The Eugene/Springfield metro area has seen a gradual but consistent recovery from the Great
Recession of the late 2000s. The area hit a peak unemployment rate of 13.2% in 2009 followed by a
steady decrease and stabilization into 2019, generally in line with statewide trends as evident on
the chart on the following page After losing approximately 18,000 jobs during the recession, Lane
County officially crossed the threshold of the prerecession employment peak in November 2016,
having gained back all the jobs lost during the recession.9 By the end of 2016, Lane County was the
86th fastest growing economy out of 382 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the U.S. in terms
of gross domestic product. That growth was fueled primarily by gains in the professional and
business services, financial activities, education and health services industries.10
According to the Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast, Oregon’s economy continues to expand,
and per capita personal income is rising. The labor market is tightening as businesses report
difficulty in finding and retaining workers.

The metropolitan area is served by the Interstate 5 (I-5) freeway, the westernmost interstate
freeway system in the U.S., which extends the length of the west coast. This freeway bisects the
metropolitan area from north to south and forms the boundary between Eugene and Springfield.
Interstate 105 (I-105), an inter-urban freeway, traverses I-5 and connects Eugene and Springfield.
Several major state highways pass through the community and provide a direct route of travel to
the major markets throughout the region.
The city of Eugene is a major switching area for the Union Pacific and BSNF railroads. Motor freight
carriers and the Greyhound bus line also serve the metropolitan area. Eugene Airport, also known
as Mahlon Sweet Field, is the fifth-largest airport in the Pacific Northwest and the largest non-hub
airport in the nation, providing commercial air service to major cities in six western states.11 The
Port of Coos Bay, located 120 miles to the southwest, is the largest deep-draft coastal harbor
between San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound, and is
Oregon’s second-busiest maritime commerce center.12
Education
The metropolitan area is served by three school
districts: Eugene, Springfield and Bethel, containing a
total of 35 elementary schools, three K–8 schools, 15
middle schools, seven comprehensive high schools,
four alternative high schools, an international high
school program on multiple campuses, three K-12
language immersion programs, and a life skills
program. There are six charter schools among the three districts. The area is also served by several
parochial and college preparatory schools.
Eugene is the home of the University of Oregon, Lane Community College, Gutenberg College,
Northwest Christian University and New Hope Christian College. The University of Oregon (UO) is a
four-year state university with an enrollment of approximately 23,000 students. UO has earned
national and international recognition for excellence in its law school, business, journalism and
music colleges, as well as its chemistry, creative writing, psychology and special education
programs.
Lane Community College (LCC), a two-year
public college, includes general education
courses, lower-division college transfer
courses, and occupational training. Over 36,000
students take credit or noncredit classes at LCC,
which has the third largest enrollment of credit
students of the 17 community colleges in
Oregon. The main campus is located in south
Eugene. LCC’s new $54 million, 90,000-square-
foot Downtown Campus Academic Building
opened in downtown Eugene in 2012. It
features sustainable construction and design
elements, housing for 255 students and a
sizable retail space. LCC also offers a Flight

Utilities & Community Services
Water and sewerage are provided by local municipalities, while solid waste disposal service falls to
various private firms. Eugene Water and Electric Board, Springfield Utility Board, and Northwest
Natural Gas serve most areas throughout Eugene and Springfield. The cities have individual police
departments and are involved in a phased consolidation of the fire departments, while outlying
areas are served by rural fire districts and the county sheriff’s department.
Three hospitals serve the region. Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, located in the Gateway
area of Springfield and operated by PeaceHealth, is licensed for 338 beds and is the only Level II
trauma center in Lane County. Sacred Heart Medical Center University District, a 104-bed specialty
hospital, is located near the University of Oregon campus in central Eugene. Since the opening of
RiverBend in 2008, PeaceHealth has invested substantially in the University District hospital.
McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center, an investor-owned acute care hospital licensed for 114 beds,
is located in the north-central neighborhood of Springfield.
Additionally, the State of Oregon opened a 211,000-square-
foot, 174-bed state psychiatric hospital in Junction City in
2015.13 In 2016, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
opened a 126,000-square-foot hospital in northeast Eugene.
The hospital is estimated to have cost $50 million, and
services include surgeries, podiatry and dental care. Officials
expect to care for close to 14,000 veterans at the new
facility.14
Government Controls & Regulations
Eugene and Springfield are both governed by a mayor/city council/city manager form of
government. Lane County has a commission form of government with five county commission
districts. Eugene is the county seat. Oregon and Lane County rely on income and property tax
receipts for school, local, state and general funding; there is no sales tax in Oregon.
Oregon has one of the most comprehensive land use planning systems in the United States. The
system was established in the early 1970s as a way to facilitate orderly development, control urban
sprawl and preserve farmland. Each local government was required to establish an Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) and develop a plan in which growth outside the boundary cannot take place until
the interior of the boundary is filled. The State Land Conservation and Development Commission
(LCDC) was established to oversee the process. Local planning departments and commissions
retain the authority to direct growth in their respective jurisdictions, and adherence to the goals of
the statewide land use planning system varies within in the state. The state Land Use Board of
Appeals (LUBA) was established to settle disputes not resolved at the local level. Citizens may
challenge local decisions by appealing to LUBA.
Summary & Trends
Eugene and Springfield are typical western American cities in that they were founded on, and still
somewhat depend on, resource-based industries. Major local institutions such as the University of
Oregon and government agencies have provided an increased level of stability. The economy has
diversified over the past several years and is expected to continue to do so in the future. The local
economy tends to parallel national and state business cycles and trends.
The metropolitan area is currently experiencing modest population growth, as is the state as a
whole, and the majority of the increase is attributable to migration from other states. In the local

area, the fastest growing age group is 55+, a trend that is expected to continue and will further spur
the health care and retail services sectors of the local economy.
Overall, the market area is expected to experience continued population growth in the next five
years. Real estate values have appreciated and depreciated with the swings of the local economy
and the amount of migration. Real estate values are appreciating in the current economic expansion
cycle, with higher transaction volume over the past few years as interest rates have remained low,
with some stabilization noted throughout the market. The long-term outlook for the area is for
continued stability and modest appreciation following national and state-wide trends.

Gateway / RiverBend subarea
The subject property is located in the Gateway/RiverBend subarea of northwest Springfield. The
neighborhood boundaries are generally Interstate 5 on the west, the McKenzie River on the north
and east, and Harlow Road on the south. The topography of the neighborhood is flat with a series of
benches stepping down to the level of the McKenzie River to the north and east. Historically, the
neighborhood was agricultural area due to the high-quality soils and water availability. The area
has experienced extensive urban development beginning in the early 1970s, and the neighborhood
is currently about 80% built-up, composed of a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and
agricultural land uses. The various land uses in the neighborhood are described below.
Residential Development
Residential development includes both single- and multiple-family land uses. Single-family
development consists primarily of homes built prior to 1975, located on streets to the east and west
of Game Farm Road. This housing stock ranges from older farm dwellings to mid-life single-level
ranch-style tract homes. The area is known for large lots, many ranging up to several acres. In the
northern portion of the neighborhood, on Deadmond Ferry, Game Farm East and Baldy View Roads,
homes on small to large acreage parcels are common. The quality and condition of the homes range
from poor to good.
The neighborhood was extensively developed with large apartment complexes in the 1970s, with
four projects developed with a total of 690 units. These projects are all wood-frame, wood-sided,
two-story, garden court style complexes of average quality, located on Gateway Street and Harlow
Road. During that same period, more single-family housing was developed in the area immediately
south of the neighborhood, south of Harlow Road.
A condominium complex was developed in the late 1970s on Harlow Road. The complex is
apartment quality and many of the units are used as rentals. There was no new multi-family
development in the neighborhood in the 1980s. More recent development includes a 100-unit,
good-quality, subsidized apartment complex and a 150-unit average-quality apartment complex,
both located on Oakdale Street and built in the 1990s. A residential care facility was developed on
Harlow Road in 1993. The neighborhood has a large amount of vacant multi-family land and homes
on small acreage parcels and large lots that are zoned for multi-family use. Limited multi-family
development has occurred in the last two decades in this neighborhood.
Commercial Development
Commercial development in the subject neighborhood is primarily freeway-oriented and is
distributed between the Beltline/Gateway intersections and the Gateway/Harlow intersections.
There are auto service stations with convenience stores, stand-alone conveniences stores,
motels/hotels, quick-serve and eat-in restaurants on this commercial strip.
The neighborhood has a significant amount of office development located on Gateway Loop,
typically one- and two-story, wood-frame, average-quality structures built in the late 1970s. Other
development in the neighborhood includes the Gem Top canopy sales facility, furniture stores, a
television station, a U.S. Postal Service facility, banks and credit union branch offices and medical
office buildings.
Attachment 3, Page 22 of 79
Neighborhood Description
Duncan & Brown - 23 -
Newer commercial development has occurred along Beltline Road, east and west of Gateway Street.
The northern area is home to the Royal Caribbean office/call center, the PeaceHealth RiverBend
Annex (formerly the Sony manufacturing space), flex-type commercial space, neighborhood strip
retail, motels, and quick-serve and eat-in national chain restaurants. Along the southern boundary
of the neighborhood, motels, office buildings and a mini-storage facility have been constructed.
Other commercial development in the neighborhood includes the 825,000-square-foot Gateway
Mall, originally constructed in 1982 with expansions in 1998-99 and 2006. Sears, Target, Kohl’s,
and Cabela’s outdoor store anchor the mall, which in 2016 completed a $43 million remodel to “de-
mall” the property and accommodate new retail and restaurant tenants.15 The center, rebranded as
The Shoppes at Gateway, was reported to be
94% leased as the largest power center
between Portland and Sacramento.16 A sale
of the center closed in March 2017 for a
reported price of $107,500,000, one of the
largest transactions recorded for Lane
County.
Industrial Development
Industrial development between 1990 and 2008 in the Gateway area created new infrastructure for
specialized uses. Symantec completed Phase I of its construction of a two-story, 198,000-square-
foot call center building in 2001 with Phase II, which mirrors the Phase I construction, completed in
2006. Sony Corporation constructed and operated a disc manufacturing facility in the area for 10
years, closing in 2003. Shorewood Packaging, which built a facility in 1995 to provide packaging
materials for the Sony plant, closed its doors in December 2008. Richardson Sports, a local sports
cap manufacturer with 150 employees, purchased the 136,000-square-foot Shorewood building in
2012 and moved its operations to the facility following renovation of the building. With the addition
of Richardson Sports, the total employment in the Gateway area is currently estimated at 10,000.
Industrial use in the area has significantly added to the demand for new commercial and residential
developments within the area.
Agricultural Development
The subject neighborhood has traditionally been an agricultural area due to the very high quality
and depth of the soils. The area located north of Game Farm East and Deadmond Ferry Road
remains in transitional agricultural use. At this location, the land is used for orchards, annual crops
and hay. The majority of this area has been rezoned Campus Industrial for industrial development,
though areas adjacent to the river that lie outside the city limits and within the McKenzie River
floodway will likely remain in agricultural use.
Transportation
The subject neighborhood is well served by major transportation alternatives. The western border
of the neighborhood is formed by the Interstate 5 freeway (I-5), which also serves as the boundary
between the cities of Eugene and Springfield. I-5 is the major north/south freeway through the
state of Oregon. Interstate 105 (I-105) is located one mile south of the Beltline Road interchange on
I-5. I-105 is a linking freeway providing access from east Springfield to central Eugene. Beltline
Road/Randy Pape Beltline is a four-lane limited access freeway providing access from I-5 to the
Pacific Highway (99N) and West Eugene. The Beltline Road/Interstate 5/Gateway Street
intersection had been one of the most congested areas in the Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area

and was redesigned to accommodate the additional traffic anticipated as future development
occurs. Game Farm Road is also an arterial traveling east from Gateway Street in the northern
portion of the neighborhood, then south to Harlow Road in the eastern portion. Harlow Road is a
four-lane road forming the southern boundary of the neighborhood. Harlow Road connects with
Coburg Road to the west, providing access to downtown Eugene within 10 minutes, and connects
with Pioneer Parkway/Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to the east, providing access to downtown
Springfield within 10 minutes and SHMC at RiverBend in less than 5 minutes.
Major transportation improvements in the area include upgrading Game Farm Road East and
Deadmond Ferry Road to urban standards, the extension of Beltline Road to Game Farm Road South
and improvement of the Beltline Road/Gateway Street intersection, as noted previously.
Lane Transit District (LTD), the local municipal bus service, serves the subject neighborhood. Fully
improved streets are also developed with bicycle lanes and sidewalks to encourage those forms of
transportation. Overall, the neighborhood is well served by major transportation alternatives.
SHMC RiverBend Development
Completed in 2008, the new Sacred Heart
Medical Center (SHMC) at RiverBend campus
includes approximately 160 acres located along
the McKenzie River, at the northeast corner of
the neighborhood. This development was
completed under a master plan that includes
the regional hospital of approximately
1,000,000 square feet, as well as 200,000
square feet of medical office buildings, 800 to
1,200 dwelling units and related mixed use
commercial development. Much of the land
remains available, due in part to the impact of
the late-2000s economic recession.
The development also included extending and
improving transportation in this portion of the
neighborhood, which began with the
installation of a new traffic circle at Harlow
Road and Pioneer Parkway and extension of
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to provide
access to the hospital campus and immediate
surrounding area. Additional upgrades include
the addition of new lanes, turn lanes and
medians to Beltline Road and Gateway Street
near the I-5 interchange. In 2011, Lane Transit
District completed the region’s Bus Rapid
Transit system (EmX) service corridor along
Pioneer Parkway connecting downtown
Springfield with the Gateway neighborhood and SHMC at RiverBend. Fully improved streets are
also developed with bicycle lanes and sidewalks to encourage those forms of transportation.
Summary
The Gateway neighborhood continues to transition from agricultural uses to urban development.
Presently, the neighborhood is less than 25% undeveloped (including agricultural land). The
Attachment 3, Page 24 of 79

neighborhood is a mixed-use area with single- and multi-family development, as well as
commercial and light industrial development. The neighborhood benefits from close proximity to
major transportation arterials providing access to all parts of the metropolitan area, as well as the
interstate freeway system. The neighborhood is expected to experience continued development in
all sectors and has a higher rate of development than the city of Springfield as a whole.
In summary, the subject property is well located in the northwest area of Springfield with easy
arterial access to other neighborhoods within the Eugene/Springfield community, as well as the I-5
corridor. The Gateway neighborhood has been continually developed over the past 15 to 20 years.

Pertinent Conditions of Title
A Preliminary Title Report prepared by Evergreen Land Title Company, dated December 3, 2019,
was provided. The report includes 5 general exceptions to title and three current exceptions.
Exceptions 1 through 5 are standard general exceptions issued in a title policy regarding taxes or
assessments, facts, rights, interests or claims, easements, or claims of easements, any
encroachments, liens or right of liens not shown by the public records.
Exception 6 references the subject property being exempt from property taxation as it is owned by
the State of Oregon.
Exception 7 references a public utility easement shown on the recorded plat.
Exception 8 references access restrictions contained in a deed recorded in 1966.
None of the exceptions in the preliminary title report are considered to adversely affect the overall
marketability of the property. However, it is noted that the ODOT Appraisal Specifications indicate
that access to the subject property is completely restricted to Beltline Highway and Gateway Street.
There are also no noted access easements indicated in the preliminary title report that would
provide legal access to the subject property from the adjacent property. The lack of legal vehicular
access to the property will be further discussed in the appraisal report. During the physical
inspection of the subject, no other easements, encroachments or encumbrances were noted that
would have a negative impact on the subject property when compared to competing properties. A
specific assumption of this report is that no negative easements affect the subject property. If

Duncan & Brown - 34 -
Utilities: Public electricity, water, sewer, natural gas and telephone
service are available to the property.
Street Improvements: The subject abuts Randy Pape Beltline to the north, which is
a State of Oregon, limited access highway serving as am outer
quarter-loop in Eugene and Springfield. It is 9.90 miles long
and runs east–west. The subject is located at the eastern end
near the interchange with Interstate-5. Beltline becomes a
local road at Gateway Street. The I-5 interchange was
upgraded in 2008, which included a flyover bridge and
upgrades to the Gateway Street intersection. Gateway Street
is listed as an arterial street in the Springfield transportation
plan and includes four traffic lanes and a center turning lane,
as well as bike lanes and concrete curbs, gutters and
sidewalks.
Exposure: Exposure to traffic is excellent from the adjacent streets.
Available traffic counts from ODOT as of 2015 indicate
41,700 cars per day on Beltline at mile post 12.97 near the
subject site. Available traffic counts from the City of
Springfield as of 2008 indicate 13,672 cars a day travel on
Gateway Street to the north of Beltline near the subject site.
The ODOT counts are shown on the graphic including
Beltline and the I-5 ramp areas.
Accessibility: There is no legal vehicular access to the subject property.
The subject has frontage on the west side of Gateway Street
and the south side of Randy Pape Beltline. There are no
driveway approaches to the subject from the street frontage
at the property lines. The ODOT appraisal specifications also
indicate access is completely restricted to Beltline Highway
and Gateway Street. This would be included as a deed
restriction upon any conveyance of ownership of the
property. The nearest existing driveway approach is located
approximately 100 to 110 feet south of the south property
line of the subject on the adjacent property (Tax Lot 1600).
This driveway provides a physical access to the subject

property; however, it is not a legal access to the subject
property as there is no known access easement agreement to
provide legal access to the subject site across the adjacent
property.
Easements: A Preliminary Title Report prepared by Evergreen Land Title
Company, dated December 3, 2019, was provided. The report
includes 5 general exceptions to title and three current
exceptions. None of the exceptions in the preliminary title
report are considered to adversely affect the overall
marketability of the property. However, it is noted that the
ODOT Appraisal Specifications indicate that access to the
subject property is completely restricted to Beltline Highway
and Gateway Street. There are also no noted access
easements indicated in the preliminary title report that
would provide legal access to the subject property from the
adjacent property. The lack of legal vehicular access to the
property will be further discussed in the appraisal report.
During the physical inspection of the subject, no other
easements, encroachments or encumbrances were noted that
would have a negative impact on the subject property when
compared to competing properties. A specific assumption of
this report is that no negative easements affect the subject
property. If questions arise regarding easements,
encroachments, or other encumbrances, further research
is advised.
Flood Plain: According to FEMA Map 41039C1133F, effective June 2,
1999, the subject is located in Zone X, areas determined to be
outside the 500-year floodplain.
Hazardous Wastes: The subject property is known to have contamination. The
south portion of the site (Tax Lot 1300) was previously
improved with a Shell fueling station (PANOCO #10) as
shown in the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) Log #20-90-4057. The contamination stop date and
cleanup start date are indicated to be April 2, 1990 with a
cleanup end date of December 18, 1990. A No Further Action
(NFA) letter was obtained in September of 1990, but
subsequent monitoring found additional contamination. A
remediation plan was put in place but was never completed.
The south portion of the site (Tax Lot 1200) was previously
improved with an ARCO fueling station (ARCO 4441) as
shown in the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) Log #20-90-4280. The contamination stop date is
indicated to be May 5, 1992 with a cleanup start date of
March 8, 1992 and end date of November 4, 1996. An NFA
letter was obtained in October of 1996.
The site contamination is not to be considered in the
valuation of the property, as per the appraisal specifications

provided by ODOT. Therefore, the value conclusion is based
on a hypothetical condition that the subject is clean, as per
the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality residential
exposure criteria. The application of this hypothetical
condition may affect the assignment results.
Site improvements: The north portion of the site is improved with a piece of
artwork known as the Springfield Flame, which is a 62-foot-
tall metal flame sculpture on a concrete slab. A plaza and
seatwall area have been proposed to be installed around the
sculpture for future public use. The existing sculpture is not
included in the valuation of the property, as per the appraisal
specifications provided by ODOT. Therefore, the value
conclusion is based on a hypothetical condition that the
sculpture does not exist on the site and the site is bare land
with no improvements as of the effective date of value,
January 28, 2020. The application of this hypothetical
condition may affect the assignment results.

H IGHEST AND B EST U SE
The term “Highest and Best Use” was previously defined, and the definition applies specifically to
the highest and best use of land. It is recognized that in the case where the site has existing
improvements, highest and best use may very well be determined to be different from its present
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.
In order to pass the test of highest and best use, a property use must be legally permissible,
physically possible, and financially feasible or marketable. Therefore, in the measurement of
highest and best use, the ability of the subject property to meet these criteria was analyzed.
Legal Considerations—The legal considerations primarily focus on the zoning of the site, which is
CC, Community Commercial. The CC zoning allows a wide variety of commercial uses. The intent of
the zoning is to establish sites to provide for a wide range of retail sales, service and professional
office use and also includes all existing strip commercial areas. Overall, the legal considerations
allow commercial use, but use of the parcel is limited by its physical characteristics, as described in
the following section.
Physical Considerations—The physical characteristics of the subject site were previously
described. The subject is an irregular-shaped parcel with frontage on the west side of Gateway
Street and the south side of Randy Pape Beltline. The topography is level and at grade with the
adjacent streets. There is no legal vehicular access to the subject property. The subject has frontage
on the west side of Gateway Street and the south side of Randy Pape Beltline. There are no
driveway approaches to the subject from the street frontage at the property lines. The ODOT
appraisal specifications also indicate access is completely restricted to Beltline Highway and
Gateway Street. This would be included as a deed restriction upon any conveyance of ownership of
the property. The nearest existing driveway approach is located approximately 100 to 110 feet
south of the south property line of the subject on the adjacent property (Tax Lot 1600). This
driveway provides a physical access to the subject property from across the adjacent property;
however, it is not a legal access to the subject property as there is no known access easement
agreement to provide legal access to the subject site across the adjacent property. As such, the lack
of access to the property precludes development of the site with any building structures as a stand-
alone parcel. The subject parcel has only one abutting site with which it could be assembled, Tax
Lot 1600, which is improved with a hotel building structure, a restaurant building and paved
parking area. There are no other sites for which assemblage could occur (refer to plat map).
Without legal access to the subject, physical uses would be limited to providing additional parking
for the adjacent property via a lease agreement, or potential for use for commercial monument
signage for local business or other community-oriented signage uses. Use for monument signs
would likely necessitate a temporary access from the adjacent property to install such signs, unless
such signs could be installed from the pedestrian access at the sidewalk along the street.
Economic Considerations—Demand for commercial development sites has increased over the past
several years, as demonstrated by an increase in market activity, such as the recent sales of
commercial sites presented in this report. The long-term outlook is for continuing demand for
commercial land in the greater Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area as the economy continues a
growth cycle.
As a stand-alone parcel, the subject would have very limited demand, if any, in the general market
as it has no greater stand-alone use than for surplus parking area for the adjacent hotel and
Attachment 3, Page 39 of 79
Highest and Best Use
Duncan & Brown - 40 -
restaurant uses on the adjacent property or for potential monument signage uses. The lack of legal
vehicular access to the subject surplus property prevents productive use of the site as a stand-alone
parcel for building structures. Potential buyers of the subject would be very limited other than an
adjacent owner who could assemble the site with the adjacent property; however, there is only one
adjacent owner. Other potential buyers could be a nearby property owner who would want to
control the site to prevent nuisances such as illegal camping or dumping of debris, or a buyer who
would attempt to hold and resell the property to an adjacent owner for a profit. None of the
scenarios for buyers other than the adjacent property owner are considered, since they are unlikely
to occur.
The subject parcel, however, provides some level of utility for the abutting property to the west
(Tax Lot 1600). The subject parcel has street frontage on the corner of Gateway Street and Randy
Pape Beltline. Assemblage of the subject property with the adjacent property would allow the
adjacent owner to control the street frontage area and utilize this area to maximize the visibility of
the adjacent property from vehicular traffic. The site, as assembled, could also provide some utility
for small commercial uses such as a coffee drive-thru or small retail-oriented use; however, the
single access to the adjacent property may preclude the feasibility of some uses. The adjacent
owner would also be able to enclose the site to prevent any illegal uses. Therefore, the subject has a
greater value for assemblage with the adjacent property than as a stand-alone parcel.
The surplus site is not necessarily needed for the adjacent property to function on its own. The
adjacent property is improved with a hotel, restaurant and asphalt-paved parking area. Vehicular
access to the adjacent property is provided from a driveway approach from Gateway Street at the
southeast portion of the site. As such, there are no adverse consequences to the adjacent property
in terms of access from not assembling with the subject property. The adjacent improved site is also
of a size large enough to accommodate parking for a variety of potential uses if redevelopment
were to occur.
In terms of redevelopment, the adjacent property improvements (the building structures) are
under separate ownership subject to ground leases of the site. The adjacent property land was
acquired in 2014 by a group of investors as a hold for long-term development, which could be as
long as a couple decades from the purchase. The ground lease for the hotel building is indicated to
have renewal options that could extend to approximately 2060. The ground lease options for the
restaurant are indicated to be much shorter, but still extending for several years to the mid-2020s.
Therefore, redevelopment of the site is not likely in the near future due to the existing ground lease
and renewal options. As such, the most probable use would be for surplus parking as an interim use
for the hotel and restaurant, and/or for commercial monument signage for local businesses or
public signage use. Any leases for such uses would be anticipated to be for shorter terms than the
ground leases for the hotel and restaurant as to not preclude development if the hotel and
restaurant operators were to vacate the buildings.
Conclusion—Given the legal, physical and economic factors described above, the subject property
(Tax Lots 1200 and 1300) does not provide utility for development as a stand-alone parcel with
building structures given the lack of legal vehicular access, but does provide some benefit for
assemblage with the adjacent property (Tax Lot 1600) for interim use until redevelopment occurs.
Assembling the subject property is not essential to the existing use of the adjacent property but
would provide some interim benefit for surplus parking and longer-term benefit for
redevelopment. Therefore, the highest and best use of the subject property is concluded to be for
assemblage with the adjacent property.
Given the concluded highest and best use, the only potential buyer of the property is the owner of
the adjacent property to the west. Therefore, a bilateral monopoly exists. A bilateral monopoly is “a
Attachment 3, Page 40 of 79
Highest and Best Use
Duncan & Brown - 41 -
market in which a single seller (a monopoly) is confronted with a single buyer (a monopsony).
Under these circumstances, the theoretical determination of output and price will be uncertain and
will be affected by the interdependence of the two parties.”17 Therefore, the value of the subject
property becomes a question of contribution. The concept of contribution is that the value of a
particular component is measured in terms of the amount it adds to the value of the whole property
or as the amount that its absence would detract from the value of the whole. Within a contribution
value, there is typically a minimum and maximum value of the parcel which represents a
negotiating range. The true value or selling price becomes a matter of seller motivations to dispose
of the property and buyer motivations to purchase the property. As such, the following valuation
for the subject property will be based on an “Across the Fence” methodology with the concluded
market value reflecting the contributory value of the surplus property to the adjacent property for
assemblage. The full across the fence value will be adjusted by what is concluded to be the most
appropriate market-derived discount to reflect any potential discount based on market activity data
that could be commanded during negotiations as of the current date.

A PPRAISAL P ROCESS
The next portion of this appraisal process deals directly with the valuation of the property. The
appraisal process that is applied to most real estate properties is designed to evaluate all factors
that influence value. Regional and neighborhood information has been presented to inform the
reader of general outside influences that may affect value. In addition, the subject property has
been described in detail. The Highest and Best Use section has been provided to evaluate the effect
of legal, physical, and market considerations that influence the use of the property.
In this assignment, the Sales Comparison Approach is the only applicable valuation method for the
subject property. The Cost Approach and Income Capitalization Approach are not applicable in
estimating the value of the property.
As previously noted, the valuation of the subject surplus property will be based upon an analysis of
the “Across the Fence” value of the adjacent property. The full across the fence value will then be
adjusted by what is concluded to be the most appropriate market-derived discount to reflect the
contributory value of the surplus property for assemblage with the adjacent property. The
percentage discount is based on historical sales of properties purchased for assemblage and reflects
the discount of full across the fence values that willing buyers and sellers agreed upon.

S ALES C OMPARISON A PPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach is based on the principle that an informed purchaser would pay no
more for a property than the cost of acquiring an existing property with the same utility. In active
markets with a large number of physically similar comparables, this approach is generally
considered a good indicator of value. For analysis purposes, a common unit of comparison, which
would be the most common method utilized by purchasers for the type of property being
appraised, is established. The adjacent property is zoned CC, Community Commercial. Commercial
land is typically valued on a per-square-foot basis, which will be utilized in this analysis.
An extensive search was made in the immediate area of the subject property for comparable sales
that share similarities with the adjacent property, as well as the surrounding areas including the
greater Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. Given the lack of recent land sales in the immediate
area of Springfield, it was necessary to expand the geographic search parameters.
A qualitative analysis reflecting market behavior is utilized to determine which comparables are
superior or inferior to the adjacent parcel. This analysis establishes value parameters for the site,
allowing for a conclusion of the across the fence unit value. Consideration will be given to
differences in location and market conditions, as well as typical physical characteristics of the sale
properties in comparison to the adjacent parcel. The sales presented share similarities to the
property on an overall basis and are considered to provide a reasonable comparison. The selected
sales are considered the best available comparable data.
The sales are summarized on the following page. Transaction details for each sale, including
photographs and maps, are included within the Addenda of this report. A sales location map is also
provided.

*Sale price adjusted to exclude contribution of site development improvements, excavation and entitlements.
The land sales indicate a range of value from $16.66 to $20.89 per square foot. The adjusted price
for Sale 1 reflects the bare land value excluding the contributory value of the site development
improvements, excavation and entitlements. The qualitative adjustments are summarized on the
adjustment chart above.
The sales presented occurred between 2017 and 2019. Sales 4 and 5 occurred in 2017 and are
inferior in terms of market conditions. There is insufficient data to quantify an adjustment for
market conditions and subjective adjustment is not considered appropriate, so no quantified
adjustment is made due to older sale dates. Sales 2 is considered to be inferior in general location as
Attachment 3, Page 46 of 79
Sales Comparison Approach
Duncan & Brown - 47 -
compared to the subject given the observed characteristics of surrounding properties in the
respective locations. Sales 3, 4 and 5 are superior in terms of access considering the ability of
entering and exiting the property. Sale 2 is slightly superior in access. Although Sale 2 has multiple
access points, the accesses are very close to an intersection and ingress can be impeded due to
traffic back-ups. The qualitative exposure to traffic adjustments to the sales reflect the observed site
visibility and amount of traffic as compared to the subject site. In terms of site size, the
identification of the comparable properties as superior to the subject is based on the premise that
smaller sites typically sell for a higher price per square foot than larger sites, all else being equal,
(and larger sites typically sell for a lower price per square foot than smaller sites, all else being
equal), rather than being an indicator of physical superiority or inferiority.
Overall, the appropriate unit value for the adjacent parcel should fall slightly below the indications
of Sales 1 and 4 at $20.89 and $20.71 per square foot, above Sales 2 and 5 at $17.23 and $16.66 per
square foot and near Sale 3 at $19.86 per square foot in the range of $19.50 to $20.00 per square
foot. With consideration given to the physical and locational characteristics as compared to the
sales presented, including location, access, exposure to traffic, shape, topography, site size, zoning
and available utilities, the unit value for the adjacent parcel (Tax Lot 1600), and the across the fence
value to apply to the subject parcel, is concluded to be at the high end of the concluded $19.50 to
$20.00 per square foot range at $20.00 per square foot.
Subject Property Assemblage Value Conclusion
In determining the appropriate assemblage value of the subject property, an extensive search was
made in the local market and other market areas for sales of parcels that were purchased by
adjacent property owners for assemblage purposes. Given the limited number of transactions that
were found in the greater Eugene-Springfield market area, it was necessary to utilize a sale in
another market area that the appraiser is familiar with, as well as a pending sale and a sale offering
in the immediate market area. The sale properties represent differing property types with differing
parcel sizes and per-square-foot property values. The sales are not directly comparable to the
subject based on physical and locational considerations and are not used to determine an
appropriate price per square foot for the subject, but do provide an indication of the percentage of
discount from full across the fence values that willing buyers and sellers agreed upon. Each of the
sales are similar in terms of having only one adjacent buyer who made a purchase of the property.
The percentage of discount indicated is based on the unit price of each sale and the full across the
fence unit value of the adjacent property. The latter value estimates are based on an analysis of
comparable market data with similar characteristics to each sale parcel, as well as estimated values
from the tax assessment rolls in the respective counties and input from buyers and sellers when
available. The percentage range of discounts is representative of the various levels of utility that the
assemblage sale properties provided to the adjacent properties. The sales are presented on the
following page.

Sale 1 is the sale of a remnant parcel from a former right-of-way that was sold to the adjacent
property owner. The parcel was not developable as a stand-alone site due to the small size and
configuration. There was only one adjacent property owner. The buyer wanted to assemble the
parcel with his adjacent ownership to control its use and add as landscaped yard area to his existing
adjacent property. The sale terms required the buyer to complete concrete work at his own cost to
remove the existing driveway approach and replace the approach with a sidewalk, curb and gutter
to meet city construction standards. The pending sale price is $3,900 which is adjusted upward
$17,700 to $21,600 to reflect the necessary expenditures buy the buyer as part of the conditions of
the sale. The sale is based on a 50% discount from the across the fence land value.

Sale 2 is a remnant parcel from a former right-of-way that was sold to the adjacent property owner.
The parcel was not developable as a stand-alone site due to the small size and configuration. There
was only one adjacent property owner. The parcel had very limited utility for the adjacent parcel
other than to add setback area to the corner of the adjacent site. The sale was based on a 75%
discount from the across the fence land value due to its limited utility.
Sale 3 is a sale of a residential zoned remnant parcel that appears to have very limited development
potential due to its size and configuration with a narrow shape and narrow pan-handle access. The
property was purchased by an adjacent property owner. The abutting property was developed with
a single-family residence. The sale parcel adds utility to the adjacent property for additional yard
area. The buyer could not be reached for confirmation of the sale and there was very limited
information available from the seller. The percentage discount is estimated as a range based on
information available to the appraiser.
Sale 4 represents an offer and counteroffer to purchase a right-of-way strip that was formerly used
for railroad tracks. The adjacent buyer owns a restaurant property and approached the railroad
owner to purchase the strip. The buyer wanted to use the site for additional outdoor seating area
for the restaurant. The seller was willing to sell the strip but asked for a value of $15.00 per square
foot. The buyer was willing to pay approximately $3.00 per square foot as they are the only
adjacent property owner that could use the site. The offerings by the buyer and seller represent an
80% discount. The sale, however, did not occur at this price, which suggests this discount was too
steep for a property that provided utility to the adjacent property owner.
Sale 5 is a sale of a commercial parcel that was undevelopable due to not being created as a legal
parcel. The site was improved with asphalt paving and had been leased to the adjacent property
owner for use as parking area. Although not developable on its own as a stand-alone parcel, the sale
property provided utility to the adjacent property for parking area as the adjacent site did not have
adequate parking area for the existing use as an auto body shop. The sale price indicates a discount
of 25% from the full across the fence value.
Conclusion—In the case of the subject property, each party (buyer – adjacent property owner,
seller – subject property owner) has the potential to have the monopolistic advantage depending on
the motivations of each party. For example, if the adjacent property owner wishes to develop their
property in the immediate future, the seller would have the monopolistic advantage as the property
owner would be highly motivated to acquire the subject to move forward with development. In that
case, the maximum contributory value could likely be achieved. However, if the adjacent property
owner wishes to hold the property for future development and has no immediate or contemplated
plans for development, the buyer holds the monopolistic advantage, particularly if the seller is
motivated to sell.
The sales, pending sale and sale offering demonstrate a range of discounted values from 25% to
80% of full across the fence value. Sale 1 at a 50% discount and Sale 2 at a 75% discount are high
indicators for the subject as the subject site provides more utility and benefit to its adjacent
property than the Sale 1 and Sale 2 properties add to their adjacent properties. The subject parcel
allows the adjacent property owner to control street frontage on a very busy commercial corner
and utilize the site for surplus parking to enhance the existing improved use. Sale 3 at an estimated
range of 40-60% represents a sale that provided usable yard area to an adjacent residential
property, but the yard area is not developable. The sale has an inferior potential for use to its
adjacent property than the subject and is considered a high indicator for the subject. The Sale 4
offering is utilized a secondary supporting information. The remnant parcel would provide usable
area to the adjacent property, but the 80% discount appears to have been too steep to consummate
a sale. Sale 5 provides a superior level of utility to its adjacent property, which was in need of

additional parking and driveway area to effectively operate. There was also a more immediate need
for the additional parking area as compared to the subject site where the motivation to acquire the
property is influenced more by the future redevelopment of the combined property. Thus, the 25%
discount indicated by Sale 5 is considered to be a slightly low indicator to apply to the subject
property. Therefore, the appropriate discount for the subject should fall above Sale 5 at 25%, but
below Sales 1 and 2 at 50% to 75%, the Sale 3 offering at 80% and the 40-60% range indicated by
Sale 2.
Based on the market data presented and consideration of the physical characteristics of the subject
property, a discount of 30% of the across the fence value is concluded for the subject property. The
full across the fence value for the subject equates to $669,540 (33,477 sf x $20.00/sf), rounded to
$670,000. Applying a 30% discount to the across the fence value equates to a market assemblage
value of $469,000 ($670,000 x 0.70), rounded to $470,000. This concluded value represents the
subject’s land value for assemblage with the adjacent property.

limiting conditions contrary to these specifications are null and void.
(1)Format: The appraisal report is to be submitted on forms supplied by or in the format specified by the State Department of
Transportation in “The Guide to Appraising Real Property”. It appears that the most logical form to use is:

addressed by the appraiser.
(6)Access: Access is completely restricted to Beltline Highway and Gateway Street.
(7)Valuation Approach. Unless specified otherwise below, the valuation of the subject shall be based upon the Market Data Approach
only. If utilization of an approach not specified will provide significant substantiation for the final conclusion of value, or if there is
insufficient comparable market data available to establish a reliable indication of value by exclusive use of the market approach, the State
Property Management Section should be consulted. Arrangements should then be made to obtain a modification of the appraisal
specifications.
(8)Documentation Standards. The level of documentation shall be in compliance with Chapter 5 of the Oregon Department of

report: 1) Appraiser is to value the property as ‘clean, as per the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality residential exposure
