PREFACE TO REPORT
The subject of this appraisal report is a parcel of land adjacent to the south
of the Key Biscayne City Hall. The land is improved with typical parking lot
improvements; paving, drainage and landscaping and the lot provides
parking for the City Hall.
The appraisal assignment is to provide a current market value estimate of
the fee simple interest in the property as is. The intended use of the
appraisal is to establish a price for a potential acquisition from the current
owner — Miami -Dade County.
Valuation of the property required an inspection of the site and its environs;
a review of governmental regulations restricting its use; and an investigation
for market data, primarily sales of property with similar utility. Sales data was
developed from available data sources that summarize transactions
recorded in the public records.
The property is described in detail in the following text, followed by its
valuation. The report is presented in a summary report format as defined
under the Standards Section 2-2(b) of the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice.

PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL
The purpose of the appraisal is to provide a market value estimate of the fee
simple interest in the property as of the appraisal date.
For purposes of this report, market value is defined as follows:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a
competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair
sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably,
and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in
this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date
and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. both parities are well informed or well advised, and acting in
what they consider their own best interests;
3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. payment is made in cash in United States dollars or in terms of
financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property
sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales
concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.'
The forgoing definitions of and the conclusions as to market value in this
report refer to gross nominal values rather than net present values to the
current owner and are based on market data from the time of the effective
appraisal date. There are no discounts for the cost of selling the property,
for the time to sell, or for carrying costs during a marketing period.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
There are no extraordinary assumptions assumed for this analysis.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
There are no hypothetical conditions assumed in this analysis.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Tract A, less the East 179 feet thereof, KEY BISCAYNE ESTATES,
according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 50 at page 61 of the
Public Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida
LOCATION
The site is located at the northeast corner of West Enid Drive and Fernwood
Drive, Key Biscayne, Florida.
MARKET AREA
The subject is located along the central commercial corridor of the Village
of Key Biscayne. The community is located on a barrier island about
seven miles southeast of the City of Miami, accessible by causeway. The
Village has an area of about 1.25 square miles with a reported population
of around 10,000 people.
The Future Land Use Map designates one commercial corridor, about a
mile long and 500 feet wide. This corridor lies along the west side of
Crandon Boulevard from Harbor Drive to Mashta Drive. The subject is
located towards the south end of this commercial corridor.
Low -density residential areas are located west of the commercial corridor
to the west shoreline of the Village. Medium and high -density residential
areas are located east of the commercial corridor and extend to the east
shoreline of the Village.
9
MARKET AREA - continued
An extensive description of the Village has not been included in this
report. The intended users of this document, being the Village itself has
sufficient awareness of the geographic, social and political influences of its
community to make comment here unnecessary.
ACCESSIBILITY
The subject is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of West
Enid Drive and Fernwood Drive, one half block west of Crandon
Boulevard, the main traffic corridor of the Village. The Rickenbacker tolled
Causeway connects the Village of Key Biscayne with Virginia Key and
Miami. The toll plaza is located at about the intersection of Brickell Avenue
and Miami's SW 25th Street. The subject site is located about 5 miles from
the Miami Rickenbacker toll plaza.
Crandon Boulevard is the continuation of Rickenbacker Causeway into
Key Biscayne. The boulevard runs North -South through the Village.
West Enid Drive is a local connector street, running from Crandon
Boulevard west to Harbor Drive, but interrupted by the elementary and
middle schools, which are one block west of Fernwood.
Fernwood Drive is a secondary north/south street forming the westerly
boundary of the commercial corridor of the Village and running from the
north limit of the Village, south to West Mashta Drive.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
West Enid Drive has a dedicated width of 50 feet according to available plat
books. It is paved with asphalt with one traffic lane in each direction and has
sidewalks, curbs and gutters adjacent to the subject property, but not west of
Fernwood Drive. There is on -street parking adjacent to the subject as well.
Fernwood Drive is also dedicated to 50 feet, with asphalt paving for two
traffic lanes. It too has sidewalks, curbs and gutters, but only along the
subject's (the easterly) side of the street.
PRESENT USE
The site is improved with paving, drainage and landscaping and is used as a
surface parking lot.
10
ZONING
The property is zoned by Key Biscayne as "GU — Government Use
District".
The purpose of the district is to "permit land owned by a governmental
entity to be used for any public purpose." As such, the specific permitted
uses are limited to governmental buildings such as schools, post offices,
community centers, etc. Building limitations (setbacks, height limits,
density, etc) are established by proposed site plan for approval by the
Village Council.
Upon the sale of GU land to a non -governmental entity, the zoning
designation is to be changed in accordance with the zoning code.
Most of the land area between Crandon Boulevard and Fernwood Drive
that is not devoted to governmental use or the park, is zoned "C-1, Low
Intensity Commercial District" or "0 — Office District".
The C-1 district permits offices, personal service uses, retail stores and
restaurants. Development limitations are as follows:

our inspection. These improvements are all related to its use as a surface
parking lot and include the following:
• Asphalt paving, sealed and striped for parking
• Drainage system
• Landscaping
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
None
ASSESSED VALUE AND TAXES
The 2006 tax data is as follows:
Folio # - 24-5205-001-0020
Land area — 22,100 square feet
Assessed value —
Land - $1,768,000
Improvements - + 79,235
Total assessment - $1,847,235
Taxes - $35,282
The tax millage rate is 19.0998. There are no actual taxes paid for the
property, it being owned by the taxing entity.
The valuation techniques employed by the Miami -Dade County Property
Appraiser's office, while appropriate for the mass appraisal process and
sufficiently accurate to establish the overall tax base for the county, are not
adequately focused to be indicative of the market value of a single parcel of
real estate. Therefore, the above -assessed value is not considered an
indication of the market value of the subject.
OWNERSHIP
According to county tax records, the property is held in the name of Miami -
Dade County Water and Sewer Department.
LISTING OF SUBJECT
As of the appraisal date, the property was not listed for sale on the open
market.

well compacted.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
While it is beyond the appraiser's expertise to determine the presence or
extent of any environmental contamination at this property, it is incumbent
upon us to comment as to any visible signs or sources of potential
contamination.
We noted no evidence of any toxic wastes or environmental contamination
at the time of our inspection. If any environmental contamination were to be
discovered in the future, it could materially affect the property's value.
14
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
According to the 12th Edition of The Appraisal of Real Estate, a publication
sponsored by the Appraisal Institute, "highest and best use" may be defined
as:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land
or an improved property, which is physically possible,
appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that
results in the highest land value.
The highest and best use of a specific property is determined by the
competitive forces within the specific market of which the property is a part.
Consequently, the analysis of highest and best use is an economic study,
one in which the available possible, legal and feasible uses must be
compared.
"Highest and Best Use", as defined, requires that any potential use be
legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and provide the
maximum return to the owner. The analysis is required both for the site
alone, as though it were vacant and for the property as actually improved as
of the appraisal date when improvements are present.
Legally Permissible
Legally permissible uses are usually determined according to the regulations
and restrictions set forth in the prevailing zoning code. However, in this
case, the property is specifically zoned for governmental use and cannot be
used for any economically viable or quantifiable use.
For valuation purposes, we have to assume a zoning classification that
would permit a more typical, economic use, one for which value can be
measured based on transactions in the market.
As we described earlier under Zoning, most of the area along the west side
of Crandon Boulevard is zoned either C-1, Commercial or 0, Office. Based
on the location of the site and the minimum area requirements of the code,
we have assumed that, if the property were no longer needed by the
government, it could be rezoned to 0 - Office Use.
The property has residential uses across the street to the west. Office uses
are often used as a transition between retail areas and residential areas,
with low -density office buildings having a design that is more compatible with
a transition zone; more of a residential appearance.
Another limiting factor is that the subject site does not meet the minimum lot
size requirement of the C-1 district. The code requires 40,000 square feet
and there are only 21,966 square feet.
15
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS - continued
Therefore, it is our opinion that, if the subject were no longer needed by any
governmental entity, there is a reasonable probability that the subject site
would be rezoned to 0.
Physically Possible
The site has sufficient area to accommodate an office building. Based on the
size of the site and the provisions of the zoning code regulations, the
property could be improved with an office building of no more than 10,983
square feet.
21,966 square feet of land x 0.5 FAR = 10,983 square feet of building
With available bonuses, the FAR might be increased to 0.525.
21,966 square feet of land x 0.525 FAR = 11,532 square feet
Financially Feasible
There is a very limited supply of office and retail space on Key Biscayne and
virtually no opportunity for additional development. The highly affluent nature
of the area population combined with the potential for some additional
development east of Crandon Boulevard, indicates high probability of
demand for additional office space within the community. Therefore
development of offices at this location is considered financially feasible.
Maximally Productive
The maximally productive use of this site is to develop it with a maximum of
10,983 square feet of offices.
Conclusion
The highest and best use of this site is to develop it with a maximum of
10,983 square feet of offices.

VALUATION
There are several generally accepted approaches to the valuation of vacant
land. The most common and easiest to understand is the sales comparison
approach in which recent sales of similar sites are compared to the subject
and their respective prices used to indicate a value for the subject. Other
methods include allocation, extraction, residual, ground rent capitalization
and subdivision analysis.
The viability and accuracy of the sales analysis is dependent on the
availability of recent sales of reasonably similar properties.
There is very limited commercial land area in the Village of Key Biscayne.
For its demographics and potential demand, it is the most limited
commercial district of any of the municipalities in Miami -Dade County.
Consequently there are few transactions in the Village for vacant land or for
improved properties where the buildings are subsequently razed.
We were able to find two relatively recent sales of sites within the Village
that are considered comparable to the subject site. Due to this limited
number of market transactions, we expanded our investigation to other high
demand, limited supply areas; specifically along the barrier islands in Miami -
Dade County. We also checked for sales in Coral Gables, South Miami,
Pinecrest and Aventura. We found some relevant data in the Cities of Miami
Beach and Sunny Isles Beach.
The results of our investigations are shown on the following schedule.

Sale 1 is located adjacent to the east of the subject site. This property sold
in 2003 and is now being improved with a small medical office building for
use by its owners.
18
VALUATION- continued
Sale 2 is at the northerly entrance to the Village and is currently improved
with an older commercial building, which will be demolished. The property
will reportedly be improved with a retail store building.
Sales 3 through 6 are located in Sunny Isles Beach. Sales 3 and 5 were
purchased by the City and Sale 4 was acquired by an owner of other
property adjoining the sale site. Sale 6 is a commercial improved site
within a high density residential environment. Again the prices are
substantially different.
Sale 3 is the northwest corner of Collins Avenue and the end of the
William Lehman Causeway. The City purchased the property for
improvement with a park. Acquiring the site, however, committed the City
to provide 400 parking spaces for an ocean front hotel located across the
street. The cost of structure parking (including an additional 100 spaces
for City use) is estimated at $8 to $9 million.
Sale 4 is a commercial site that is improved with one-story retail stores.
The property was acquired by the owner of adjacent lands. The
assembled site has reportedly been submitted to the City for approval of a
15 -story mixed use project of commercial space and apartments.
Sale 5 is a waterfront site adjacent to Sunny Isles Boulevard, but with
circuitous access (the site is effectively under the bridge over the
Intracoastal Waterway). Again, as with Sale 3, the City of Sunny Isles
Beach bought the property for use as open space, but will retain some
docking facilities on the property for future use as a water taxi landing site.
Tax data indicates a larger land area than shown on the schedule; but
only about 20,000 square feet of the site is upland.
Sale 6 is a commercial property located within the Winston Towers
apartment development. Winston Towers is a complex of hundreds of
apartments stretching from Collins Avenue to the Intracoastal Waterway.
Buried within that complex is Sale 6, a one-story commercial building,
subdivided into retail stores. The site is reportedly deed restricted for only
uses that benefit the residents of Winston Towers, so it is required to
maintain a commercial or other service type use.
Based on the land area, the price is equal to $119 per square foot. Based
on the size of the building, the price is equal to $242 per foot.
Sale 7 and 8 are located in the City of Miami Beach. Sale 3 is on a
commercial thoroughfare, at the corner of 17th Street and West Avenue
and Sale 5 has an interior location in the former industrial area north of
Dade Boulevard. The two properties show substantially different unit
prices, which will be discussed below.

VALUATION- continued
Elements of Comparison
According to The Appraisal of Real Estate (twelfth edition), published by
the Appraisal Institute, "Elements of comparison are the characteristics of
properties that cause the prices paid for real estate to vary. Adjustments
are made to the price of each comparable property to make the
comparable equal to the subject on the effective date of the value
estimate." The basic elements of comparison are as follows.
Real property rights conveyed
In order to properly relate the sales to the subject, it must be determined
to the degree possible what property rights were conveyed in the sale
transaction. Pre-existing leases, for example, creating either a leased fee
or leasehold estate can impact the price of a property.
All of the sales were of fee simple interests in properties unencumbered
by long term leases or other modifications to the fundamental property
rights conveyed. Therefore, no adjustments are necessary for this
element.
Financing terms
Existing mortgage financing at a favorable rate can also impact a
purchase price. Hence the presence or absence of financing involved in
the sales transactions must be considered.
Sale 4 involved some owner financing, but that financing does not appear
to have impacted the price.
Conditions of sale
Conditions of sale adjustments usually involve the motivations of the
buyers and sellers when those motivations are considered extraordinary
and when they impact the price paid. If non -market conditions of sale
have significantly affected the price of a property, typically, the sale is
discarded as not being indicative of market values
All of the sales used in our analysis are arms length transactions and only
one appears to have been impacted by extraordinary conditions that
would affect the respective price. That one is Sale 3, where the City of
Sunny Isles Beach purchased a parcel of land and, as part of the
transaction, agreed to build a parking garage for a hotel located across the
street.
20
VALUATION- continued
The cost of the garage is reportedly estimated at $8 to $9 million, including
an additional one hundred spaces to be used by the city. The city's 100
spaces are 20% of the total, so the cost of the spaces for the hotel is 80%
of $8 to $9 million or $6.4 to $7.2 million. Using $7 million as a cost figure,
the garage requirement effectively adds $42.08 per square foot to the land
acquisition price and increases the overall land cost to $159.90 per foot.
$7 million _ 166,351 square feet of land = $114.22 per foot
$19,600,000 + $7,000,000 = $26,600,000 _ 166,351 ft2 = $159.90
Expenditures made immediately after purchase
In some cases, a buyer will spend money over and above the purchase
price immediately after a purchase to bring a property to a condition
suitable for the buyer's intended use. In the case of the purchase of a site
for development, funds may be spent, for example, to fill the site to
buildable grade or to demolish existing improvements that are not part of
the buyer's project.
The first six sales all had older improvements that had to be demolished.
The demolition costs are relatively small compared to the overall price of
the properties and do not significantly impact the overall price paid.
Market conditions
Changing market conditions must be considered when comparing sales
that may have occurred months or years earlier than the appraisal date.
Property appreciation or depreciation, financing availability, changing
economic conditions, building moratoria and changes in tax laws can all
impact property values and the particular market conditions under which a
sale occurs directly impact the price of the property.
The sales used in this analysis occurred between April 2003 and April
2007. The appraisal date is May 2007. From about 2003, through 2004
and into 2005, the overall market was experiencing extraordinary demand
and rapid rates of appreciation across south Florida. Developers, investors
and speculators were competing for available development sites,
particularly for residential construction, and prices were increasing rapidly.
Since that time the market has settled down and many potential home
buyers are waiting to see if there is an actual decline in end unit prices.
Sale 1 was purchased in early 2003, prior to the run-up in the values
across the market. Sale 6 closed in March 2005, towards the latter part of
the appreciation.
C.41 I AI_IGA 2 RIAPI-1 IMP

VALUATION- continued
In order to quantify the appreciation rate for commercial real estate on Key
Biscayne, we reviewed all of the sales of commercial condominium units
on the island. Separating out the 2001 through 2006 sales, we found the
following:
Year # of Units Sold Avg. Price
2001 17 $366.05 per ft2
2002 8 336.69
2003 5 489.17
2004 0
2005 0
2006 3 1,201.14
There was one sale in 2004 and one in 2007, but that
sample size is too small to be significant
The first two years show a relatively flat market, which was typical of that
time. The succeeding years show the dramatic increase in prices. A
change from $489 per square foot to $1,200 is equal to 145% over the
three year period. For valuation purposes, we have used a 100%
adjustment for Sale 1 (April 2003)
Increasing the indicated price of Sale 1 by 100% results in an adjusted
price of $214 per square foot.
An adjustment to Sale 8 (March 2005) is also necessary, but, due to a lack
of activity in commercial condominiums on Key Biscayne in 2004 and
2005, we have no similar ratios to apply. Adjusting the price of Sale 8 by
20% to 50% results in an adjusted range of $165 to $206.
Location
The sales used in this analysis were chosen because of their locations in
relatively high density communities on barrier islands, with confined
geography and high barriers to entry. But amongst the three locations,
Key Biscayne, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, Key Biscayne has
the most limited commercial area and the smallest supply of available
property at any given time. Therefore it would be expected to show the
highest unit prices.
The test of Key Biscayne's higher values is the prices of the commercial
condominium units shown above. The only other place where commercial
condominiums approach the $1,000 per square foot level shown on the
Key in 2006 is on Lincoln Road on Miami Beach (none of the sales front
on Lincoln Road however).
22
VALUATION- continued
While we have no specific percentage adjustment to apply to the sales
price of lots in other locations, we will consider the relative location of the
properties in the final analysis.
Physical characteristics
The physical elements in valuing commercial sites include land area,
street frontage, configuration and topography and differences in these
characteristics precipitate adjustments to the unit values of the sales.
The major physical difference between the subject site and the sales is the
size of each property. The sales range from 16,000 square feet to nearly
50,000 square feet, with the one sale in Sunny Isles at 166,351 square
feet (3.82 acres).
While typical markets will show decreasing unit values as sizes increase,
the confined nature of the markets shown here demonstrate no change in
prices as properties change in size. The one exception might be the 3+
acre sale in Sunny Isles.
None of the sales had significant topographic issues and all are of
sufficient size and in a suitable configuration for development. No
adjustments are made for size.
Economic characteristics
This element applies to improved properties and is not used in this
analysis.
Use/Zoning
Differences in the highest and best use of the sales, as compared to the
highest and best use of the subject must be considered in the adjustment
process. Most often the use of the respective properties is governed by
their respective zoning classifications.
The subject sites and each of the sales is zoned and appropriate for
commercial development. However, there are substantial differences in
density at the various properties.
Key Biscayne is a relatively low -density community; there are no high-rise
commercial or mixed use buildings located along Crandon Boulevard. By
contrast, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles permit higher density
development.
The comparable sales are repeated on the following schedule, with the
respective floor area ratios (FARs) shown along with the prices expressed
on the basis of dollars per square foot of potential building. The prices
shown reflect the adjustments discussed above.

Applying the density calculation actually widens the indicated range of
values and clearly isolates the two Key Biscayne sales at the high end of
the range of prices.
Non -realty components of value
Non -realty components can include personalty, business concerns or
other items that do not constitute real property, but may be included in the
sale of real estate. As with economic issues, these are more likely to
occur with improved properties and are not an issue in this analysis.
Conclusion
The adjusted prices of the sales are as follows, shown based on price per
square foot of land and arrayed in unit price order:

The highest priced sale is a commercial corner on Miami Beach with a 2.0
FAR and plans for a mixed use commercial/residential development.
The next highest price is for land in Sunny Isles Beach purchased by an
adjoining owner.
24
VALUATION- continued
The next two sales are the two sites on Key Biscayne and they form a
very close range - $213 and $214 per square foot.
The remaining sales are all $156 per foot or less and show the locational
difference the market recognizes between Key Biscayne and the other
areas.
Based on the available data we have concluded that the subject land has
a value of approximately $213 per square foot of potential building.
As a test of the feasibility of such a price, we made the following cursory
analysis:
The market for commercial condominiums on Key Biscayne shows
prices above $1,000 per square foot. These commercial units are
ground floor retail type units.
Generally office condominiums are priced lower than retail units.
Currently office condominiums are being developed in other areas
of the county in the $350 to $500 per square foot range. Based on
the available data, it is reasonable to conclude that office
condominiums developed on Key Biscayne could be priced in the
$600 to $800 range.
Cost figures available for an office building currently being built in
Coral Gables indicated total costs for a multi -story building over
ground floor parking (the likely design of a building built at the
subject site) are equal to $154.23 per square foot of building area.
The $213 per square foot of land value shown above is equal to
$426 per foot of potential building using the 0.5 FAR shown in the
zoning code and $406 per foot using the 0.525 FAR with bonuses.
Deducting reasonable allowances for the other component costs of
a development indicate the following:
Probable Value of finished units
Hard cost of building $154
Soft costs at 15% 23
Sales & marketing 30
Profit to developer at 20% + 120
Total costs - 327 - 327
Residual value to land $273 $473
$600 to $800 per ft2
The residual value range brackets the indicated value of $406 to
$423 per square foot of potential building shown above.
25
VALUATION- continued
Applying the unit value conclusion to the subject's land area, we find the
following indication of the value of the property:
$213 per square foot x 21,296 square feet = $4,536,048
Use $4,500,000
RECONCILIATION
The subject land is currently zoned for government use, for which there is
no measurable economic value. In order to value the site, we have
assumed a commercial zoning of 0, which would allow office building
development.
An extensive investigation for recent sales of similar lands resulted in only
two really comparable land sales, both of which are on Crandon Boulevard
on Key Biscayne. Using the adjusted prices of these sales we have
reached a conclusion as to the value of the subject site.
The concluded value is very high from an historical perspective, but is
reflective of the extraordinarily limited supply of commercial property on
the Key and the high demand created by the desirable community
environment.
MARKET VALUE
In our opinion, the market value of the fee simple interest in the subject
property as of the appraisal date of May 14, 2007 was
FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($4,500,000)

compliance survey having been conducted to determine if the property is or is not in
conformance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The presence
of architectural and communications barriers that are structural in nature that would
restrict access by disabled individuals may adversely affect the property's value,
marketability, or utility.
This report covers the premises herein described only. Neither the figures herein nor any
analysis thereof, nor any unit values derived therefrom are to be construed as applicable
to any other property, however similar the same may be.
