The comparative sales approach is the most reliable method of land valuation. Pursuant to 39-104-(10.2) (c) C. R. S., the Assessor may utilize sales from July 2001 through June of 2006 to establish the proper value, if sufficient information is not available in the prior 18 months. Also, comparables outside the subject property area may be used. The Weld County Assessor has an established ongoing sales confirmation and validation program for property transactions used in developing value. The land size of the subject is 315,153 square feet. Comparable commercial land in the subject area was used to value the subject's land also taking into consideration the size and shape of the subject parcel. The subject land value is determined to be $1.20 per square foot (size & shape adjustment.) fr � � � r L w s ti: Acct# Ate ' ra j,iWO:+en# �pr, rg O ar►c Size, er S t tootamot mom Comp 1 R2682304 11/03/03 W.

Except that, if comparable valuation data is not available from such one-and one-half-year period to adequately determine the level of value of a class of property, the period of five years immediately prior to July 1, 2006 shall be utilized to determine the level of value. Said level of value shall be adjusted to the final day of the data gathering period. Changes occurring between base years are not to be accounted for until the following level of value is implemented, other than additions, change in use, detrimental acts of nature, damage due to fire, etc., or creation of a condominium, or any new regulations restricting or increasing the use of the land, or a combination thereof {39-1-104(11)(b)(1) C. R .S.} The subject property has been classified as Commercial Property for assessment purposes. Commercial property value shall be determined by appropriate consideration of the Cost Approach, Market Approach, and Income Approach to value. {39-1-103(5)(a)C. R. S.} The Assessor has considered all three approaches to value for the subject parcel on appeal. FINAL RECONCILIATION After consideration of the cost, market and income approaches, it is the Weld County Assessor's opinion that the value of$419,364, most accurately reflects the value of the subject property in Weld County for the 2007 tax year.

The Property was purchased on October 10, 2003 for $950,000. The NOI of the Property for 2004 was negative $82,266 (not subtracting the property taxes as an operating expense) and the NOI for 2003 was substantially negative also. The NOI of the Property for 2005 was negative $946,961 (not subtracting the property taxes as an operating expense) and the NOI for 2006 was negative $98,780 (not subtracting the property taxes as an operating expense). The cumulative negative NOI for the Property from the time of purchase through 1/1/07 is in excess of $1,300,000, not including the property taxes as an operating expense or other carrying costs to the owner. Based upon the actual income and expenses of the Property during the eighteen month base period, the Property should not be valued in excess of $1,600,000. The Property has averaged 76.90%vacancy from the time of purchase through the present, averaged 75.23% vacancy from 1/1/05 through 1/1/07 and was 69.99% vacant on 6/30/06. The vacant land parcel was acquired to provide additional parking to the primary parcel and should be valued as a tie back parcel to the main parcel. Additionally, the Notices of Valuation and the country records contain erroneous land square footages for the land parcel. The remaining amount of land is only approximately 119,255 square feet of land (2.737 acres), not the 315,153 square feet (7.23 acres) shown in the Assessor's records. The 4,118 square foot structure listed as a restaurant is unusable, will need to be demolished and is a negative to the Property. Therefore, we respectfully request that the valuation of the Property be reduced accordingly. Sincerely, Dan R.
