<br /> Evergreen Land Services Company, Eagan, MN Page 4 <br />Appraisal Services <br />Evergreen Land Services Company (ELS) offers appraisal services to our clients. ELS has a <br />Certified General Real Property Appraiser on staff who has experience with the appraisal of partial <br />acquisitions. ELS can provide the following appraisal formats: <br />1. Appraisal Report – can be used for any type of acquisition and is a typical <br />format in the industry. The Appraisal Report format must be provided when <br />the intended users include parties other than the client. <br />2. Restricted Appraisal Report – can be used for acquisitions of typical residential <br />properties, vacant land, or for partial acquisitions involving easily supported <br />damages to the remainder of the property. When the intended users do not <br />include parties other than the client, a Restricted Appraisal Report may be <br />provided. <br />3. Minimum Damage Assessments (MDA’s) – this format is not technically an <br />appraisal, but is a format promoted by Mn/DOT to be used for uncomplicated <br />acquisitions up to a value of $25,000, including simple partial acquisitions <br />where only land or land and minor improvements are involved. <br />In conjunction with the “Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies <br />Act of 1970” (commonly known as the Uniform Act), ELS offers property owners the opportunity <br />to accompany the appraiser on the inspection of their properties and treats the property owners <br />with respect. <br />Appraisals are prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal <br />Practice (USPAP) as well as Mn/DOT or other agency regulations. <br />Appraisal Review - ELS can also provide appraisal review services. Reviews can be via form or <br />narrative reports depending on the client’s request and the complexity of the appraisal. Review <br />criteria includes sound appraisal principles and USPAP conformance, as well as Mn/DOT or other <br />agency regulations. <br />Consultation - ELS understands the appraisal process and requirements and can provide appraisal <br />expertise in the form of consultation for appraisal contracting or condemnation. <br />Appraisal Fees – Fees are dependent on the client’s desired appraisal format and the complexity <br />of the appraisal problem, but can be via an hourly rate of $90.00 plus costs or a charge per <br />appraisal. <br />Page 63 of 254
