In determining typical improvements of a site within the City, we have considered the City of West Chicago Code of Ordinances Appendix B, Subdivision Regulation | Appendix D, Section 1, Number 5 which reads as follows: “Improvements under this Section 4 shall be liberally construed and shall include, but shall not be limited to the development of: sidewalks; adjacent streets, including but not limited to pavement, curbs, gutters and street lights; connections with sewers, water, electrical and other utility lines; and, as appropriate, grading, seeding and/or sodding, and/or drainage and erosion controls.” In accordance with these instructions we have assumed that the hypothetical sites will have normal street improvements, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, electric, gas, telephone and cable television service readily available; and will be rough graded with positive drainage and ready for construction. Also that they will be accessible to commercial uses and permanent open space uses within the City, will be near schools, parks, and municipal services and will be free from any unusual encumbrances. 121 W.

This Appraisal Report is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. It presents only summary discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser's opinion of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the appraiser's file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use as stated. The appraiser is not responsible for unauthorized use of this report. Furthermore, in accordance with prior agreement between the client and the appraiser, this report is the result of a limited appraisal process in that certain allowable departures from specific guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice were invoked. The intended user of this report is warned that the reliability of the value conclusion provided may be impacted to the degree there is departure from specific guidelines of USPAP. The subject of this appraisal is assumed to be various properties rather than a specific property which could be physically inspected. Our valuation makes certain assumptions about these various properties; however, because a specific property is not being appraised, information concerning zoning, physical characteristics, real estate taxes, etc. for the properties was not available. As such, we have invoked a departure from the USPAP requirements. As requested, following is our report which summarizes our conclusions with respect to an opinion of value for various property types. Our conclusions are being reported in a summary format.

See attached. The global outbreak of a “novel coronavirus” known as COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The reader is cautioned, and reminded that the conclusions presented in this appraisal report apply only as of the effective date(s) indicated. The appraiser makes no representation as to the effect on the subject property of any unforeseen event, subsequent to the effective date of the appraisal. We have not been provided with an environmental site assessment for specific subject properties and, therefore, have appraised the properties as free and clear of any and all potential environmental problems. Should we become aware of any environmental issues, we reserve the right to revise our opinions. The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an opinion of the current market value of improved land on a per-acre basis for various property types, residential and non-residential, within the City of West Chicago. We have considered the City of West Chicago Code of Ordinances Appendix B, Subdivision Regulation Appendix D, Section 1, Number 5 which reads as follows: “Criteria for Requiring a Cash Contribution In-Lieu-Of Park, School, Fire Protection and/or Library Sites: The City shall require the developer to pay a cash contribution in-lieu-of or in combination with the land dedication required when so determined by the public body which would be the recipient of the land, subject to final City approval.

The cash contributions in-lieu-of school sites shall be held in trust by the City, or other public body designated by the City, solely for use in the acquisition and/or improvement of land for school sites to serve the immediate or future needs of children from that development. The cash contributions in- lieu-of fire protection sites shall be held in trust by the City, or other public body designated by the City, solely for use in the acquisition and/or improvement of land for fire station sites to serve the immediate or future needs of the residents or occupants of that development. The cash contributions in- lieu-of library sites shall be held in trust by the City, or other public body designated by the City, solely for use in the acquisition and/or improvement of land for library sites to serve the immediate or future needs of the residents or occupants of that development. These properties are assumed to have the advantage of all normal road improvements and immediate access to all utilities. This appraisal is being used by the City of West Chicago and its agents in determining the amount of impact fee cash contributions in lieu of land donations. Fee Simple Market Value definition is from regulations published by federal regulatory agencies pursuant to Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 between July 5, 1990, and August 24, 1990, by the Federal Reserve System (FRS), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This definition is also referenced in regulations jointly published by the OCC, OTS, FRS, and FDIC on June 7, 1994, and in the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, dated October 27, 1994. This definition is as follows: Market value means 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: ===== PDF PAGE 17 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. Date of Valuation: Date of Visual Observation: Scope of Appraisal: Subject Area: 20-0301 -3- i buyer and seller are typically motivated; ras both parties 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 terms of 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. June 4, 2020 A visual observation of the subject properties was not performed since the subject properties are hypothetical properties. The appraisers are very familiar with property within the City of West Chicago and the surrounding area. A visual observation of the subject properties was not performed since the subject properties are hypothetical properties. We have performed research with respect to the hypothetical subject properties and surrounding area, research of market data, analysis of the hypothetical subject properties and the market data, and preparation of a compilation of conclusions. Market data research was conducted through the use of services assumed to be accurate including CoStar and MLS as well as public records when necessary. The information obtained is believed to be accurate but has not been further verified. The cost and income approaches to value are not applicable because the hypothetical subject properties are vacant land and buyers of these types of property do not use these approaches in making their purchasing decisions. The appraisers believe the primary approach to value is the sales comparison approach. The City of West Chicago, Illinois, is located in western DuPage County approximately 30 miles west of the City of Chicago's central business district commonly known as the ===== PDF PAGE 18 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 -4- "Chicago Loop".

Residents use the West Chicago library in the city. West Chicago is home to numerous houses of worship whose congregations regularly meet within the city. According to the westchicagonow.org website transportation infrastructure for West Chicago includes, “Easy access to three Illinois highways provide residents and businesses with a link to the region’s extensive system of interstate highways. Stretching east to west across northern Illinois, IL Route 38 (Roosevelt Road) and IL Route 64 (North Avenue) traverse the southern and northern borders of the city. Both routes converge with IL Route 59 and Interstate 355, ultimately offering a connection with Interstate 88. Commuter rail transportation is available through West Chicago’s Metra station, located at 580 W. Main Street. The Union Pacific West line offers a host of scheduled trains throughout the day, providing for a quick commute to Chicago’s Ogilvie Transportation Center, along with a number of stops in between. A frequent train schedule makes it easy to maneuver throughout the area at an affordable cost. West Chicago’s general aviation needs are exceedingly fulfilled with the establishment of DuPage Airport. Located between IL Route 64 and IL Route 38, this facility is one of the busiest airports in Illinois. Those in need of regional, national and international transport have access to Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway International airports. Both are — situated approximately 45 minutes from West Chicago, and travelers can take advantage of a variety of limousine and shuttle services in the area for worry-free transportation to these busy airports.” Central DuPage Hospital (390 beds), located in neighboring Winfield and Delnor Hospital (159 beds) located in Geneva serve the West Chicago area. Both Hospitals are Level II trauma centers. According to the westchicagonow.org website, West Chicago includes, “Outstanding opportunities for active recreation and relaxation are prominent in this suburban Chicago location. The West Chicago Park District is a top source for residents in search of recreation. The District oversees more than 390 acres of parkland divided into 13 Park Sites, which includes the 125-acre Reed-Keppler Park. Located at National and Arbor streets, Reed-Keppler Park has two playgrounds, ===== PDF PAGE 20 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 -6- several athletic fields, a skate park, a two-acre dog park, and the 25-acre Dyer Nature Sanctuary. Additionally, the Park is the home of Turtle Splash Family Aquatic Center, a popular summer spot featuring a pool with winding waterslides. Operated by the Forest Preserve district of DuPage County, the 305-acre West Chicago Prairie Forest Preserve is a beautiful natural area that adjoins the Illinois Prairie Path. The Path is unique in comparison to others as there are no fishing or picnic areas located here. Instead, it lends itself to quiet strolls throughout the unrefined local prairieland. Golf enthusiasts relish the courses of West Chicago. Included in the area’s choices are the 18-hole Prairie Landing Golf Club along Kautz Road and the 36-hole St. Andrews Golf and Country Club—both public courses.” Due in large part to the past economic conditions, real estate values in the immediate area had been increasing in recent years. It is expected that this trend will continue, at least for the foreseeable future; this area is an extremely viable area with a tremendous amount of building underway. The reader is cautioned, and reminded that the conclusions presented in this appraisal report apply only as of the effective date(s) indicated. The appraiser makes no representation as to the effect on the subject property of any unforeseen event due to COVID-19, subsequent to the effective date of the appraisal. ===== PDF PAGE 21 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC.

Since we are considering residential as well as non- residential properties, we have considered the residential, commercial and industrial markets within the Chicago area. With regard to residential properties, an article in Chicagoagentmagazine.com, titled New Report predicts home prices will continue to rise in 2020, dated May 5, 2020, states, “The overall strength of the real estate market as we entered into the COVID-19 pandemic will offset recession- driven damage in 2020 and help stabilize home prices for the next year. That’s according to a new report released by global analytics firm CoreLogic, which forecasts home prices will rise 0.5% from March 2020 to March 2021. While the increase is small, it’s significant. Unlike the last recession, which was fueled by the foreclosure crisis and housing market downturn, this time most homeowners won't need to worry about their home values dropping along with the stock market.” This article continues, “In Chicago, which is considered a normal market when it comes to home values, prices are projected to rise 1.7% by March 2021, significantly higher than the national average.” We have considered market information from Costar as well and the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois. We have searched Costar; however the focus of this database is more on non-residential properties and therefore from 2015 until the current date, only three residential land sales were indicated from our search. The average of these transactions is indicated to be $158,259 per acre. The Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois indicates that there have been 45 land sales within West Chicago from 2015 until the current date. The majority of these land sales (22) fall within the less than $49,999 price range. The median sold price is indicated to be $55,000 and the average sold price is indicated to be $121,398.

In our analysis of the non-residential properties, we have considered commercial properties and industrial properties. According to an article in Crainsbusiness.com, titled Chicago Retail Real Estate Market improves, but it’s still not good, dated February 5, 2020, states, “Retailers looking for store space in the Chicago area may notice fewer “for rent” signs these days, but it’s still far from a landlords’ market. The Chicago-area retail vacancy rate dropped to 10.7 percent in fourth-quarter 2019, down from 10.9 percenti _n the third quarter and 11.1 percent a year earlier, according to the Chicago office of CBRE. The local vacancy rate has fallen for three straight quarters and now stands at its lowest level in two years. That's a welcome change for owners of shopping centers and other retail properties trying to adapt to thee - commerce era, which has reduced demand for brick —-and- mortar retail space. Many landlords are struggling to fill big holes created by a wave of store closings and retailer bankruptcies.

The outlook for a steady or moderately slowing pace for 2020 shifted abruptly near the end of the quarter, however, with the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID- 19). A review of research from the first quarter shows a market with strong long-term indicators that is retrenching and shifting to find its footing amidst this unprecedented healthcare and economic crisis. As uncertainty moves in, tenants and landlords are faced with many challenges related to space utilization and economic forecasting. With the outbreak of COVID-19, demand for medical supplies and protective equipment have changed dramatically. As the medical industry faces mass shortages of essential supplies necessary to combat the virus, several Chicago area companies are switching their operations to help produce medical supply safety equipment to meet the demand. Tenants are repurposing manufacturing lines and shifting business focuses to help hospitals and first responders by producing personal protective equipment (PPE). This shift in manufacturing is likely to be seen all over the U.S. in the weeks to come. With this change, companies are not only able to retain their workforce but also establish new revenue streams during this difficult time.” This article continues, “Industrial vacancy remained fairly stable in Q1 2020, edging up 70 bps from the fourth quarter of 2019 to 6.6%. The Chicago market had 12.3 msf of leasing activity in the first quarter, an increase from 10.5 msf in the fourth quarter of 2019. There were 243 leases signed in the quarter, with an average of 50,713 sf. According to Real Capital Analytics, there was nearly $2 billion in industrial sales in the first quarter of 2020, on par with the previous two quarters, which had $2 billion (Q4 2019) and $2.1 billion (Q3 2019) in sales” We have also included in our analysis the sales of industrial sites which have occurred within the last five years for the City of West Chicago according to CoStar and MLS. ===== PDF PAGE 30 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 - 16 - Costar indicates that there have been 11 industrial land sales within West Chicago from June of 2015 until the current date.

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. Unless there has been a significant shift in surrounding land use and/or zoning patterns or in the demographic characteristics of a particular location, the current use of the subject land will normally represent the highest and best use of the land. If the change in the characteristics of the area is significant, it may be ascertained that the present improvements do not constitute the highest and best use of the land. Further, the current use of a site may only be interim. The degree of contributory benefit of the improvements will then equate to the remaining economic life of the improvements. The subject properties of this report are hypothetical typical residential and non-residential vacant sites located within the City of West Chicago. They are assumed to have utilities available as well as other improvements and would be developable under the City of West Chicago Ordinance. ===== PDF PAGE 32 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. Cost Approach: Income Approach: Sales Comparison Approach: 20-0301 -18- Since the subject properties are hypothetical it is assumed that the highest and best use of the residential site is development with a residential use and highest and best use of the non-residential site is development with a non- residential use. The cost approach is devoted to an estimate of the physical value of the property. The current market value of the land, assuming it to be vacant, is estimated by market comparison, to which is added the depreciated value of the improvements present on the site. The latter is derived based upon an estimate of the cost of reproducing or replacing the improvements, from which must be deducted accrued depreciation in terms of physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and external obsolescence, if any. Physical deterioration measures the physical decline of the improvements as observed during the property inspection. Functional obsolescence reflects deficiencies inherent in the structure by reason of layout, utility, style, or design. External obsolescence denotes any loss in value from causes extraneous to the property which generally affects the economic life of the improvements. The cost approach has not been applied because the hypothetical properties being appraised are vacant land. The income capitalization approach involves an analysis of the property in terms of its ability to provide a net annual income after operating and/or fixed expenses. The projected net annual income is capitalized (or discounted) at a rate commensurate with its relative duration and the risk involved in the ownership of the property. Capitalization and/or discount rates may be ascertained through market comparison, alternative investment analysis, or estimated through a built-up rate process. The income approach has not been applied because the hypothetical properties being appraised are vacant land. The sales comparison approach is based upon the principle of substitution, i.e., that when a property is replaceable in the market, its value tends to be no more than the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute property, assuming no costly delay in making the substitution. Since two properties are rarely, if ever, identical, the necessary adjustments for differences in factors such as location, size, zoning, quality, market appeal, and market conditions, are ===== PDF PAGE 33 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. Analysis of Residential Property: 20-0301 -19- performed as a function of appraisal experience and judgment. The reliability of any conclusion, reached by the direct comparative method, is related solely to the degree of similarity between the property which is being appraised, and the property to which it is being compared. Therefore, before the actions of buyers and sellers can be correctly analyzed and transformed into an indication of value, it is required that the subject and the comparable property (or market data) be reduced to a recognizable or commonly accepted unit or basis of comparison. In this appraisal, we have utilized a price per square foot as well as a price per acre of land area. It should be noted that each of the market data is not offered as independent evidence of value, but rather as pertinent market transactions that have been considered in arriving at a value indication for the hypothetical subject properties by this comparative approach. We have researched and analyzed vacant land sales within West Chicago and the surrounding communities in order to determine the market value of improved land on a per-acre basis of residential, within the City of West Chicago with the advantages of all normal road improvements and immediate access to all utilities. The following sales represent comparable residential vacant land sales in the West Chicago area.

The sales were analyzed for factors including, but not limited to, sale date, size, physical characteristics, and location. A summary of each of these factors is as follows. Prices in the subject area have been appreciating in recent years as the number of vacant lots suitable for residential development has diminished. West Chicago and the surrounding communities are considered to be desirable residential communities and the real estate market is considered to be stable. Market conditions have been improving in the past and therefore the sales were adjusted upward accordingly for market conditions where necessary.

Size influences value in that larger properties tend to sell at lower unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal, and, conversely, smaller properties tend to sell at higher unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal. The subject of this valuation is considered on a per acre land value, therefore, the smaller sized sales were adjusted downward, and the larger sized sales were adjusted upward for this factor. Physical characteristics which influence property values include floodplain, wetlands, topography, and vegetation. The subject is considered to be a typical site within West Chicago with no floodplain or wetland areas which is level and cleared for development. One sale contains significant floodplain areas, and an upward adjustment was required for this factor. One sale contained a small portion of wetlands, and an upward adjustment was made. In addition, all of the sales are generally level with no significant changes in topography. One sale was considered a wooded lot and required no adjustments because a credit was offered to clear the lot. Through our study of the sales within the surrounding area, we have found that purchase prices do reflect a premium for the availability of utilities or location on a fully improved street. Therefore, an upward adjustment for utilities and street improvements was considered where necessary. ===== PDF PAGE 36 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 -22- A 7 Ics f f—Farmungton } {7 ~c A Ingalton Atte bate aa Aa” ZY AD ae ae LS Oe a oe AL) Sem eS Data use subject to license. © DeLorme.

Our analysis of the subject market indicates that the residential sites located within West Chicago sold at similar to lower unit prices as compared to the surrounding community property sales after all other adjustments have been made. Based upon our comparative analysis of the available sales data, it is our opinion that the market value on a per acre land value for residential property within West Chicago, in fee simple title, subject to the limiting conditions stated herein, as of June 4, 2020 is $130,000 per acre which is equivalent to approximately $2.98 per square foot of land area. We have based our analysis of exposure time on comparable sales data and information provided by local brokerage services and/or published market studies. Based on the foregoing, our opinion of exposure time for the subject properties is 3 to 9 months. This opinion is based on the property being listed at a proper asking price and being aggressively marketed through methods considered normal and prudent by qualified and competent marketing agents. ===== PDF PAGE 39 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 - 25- Analysis of Non-Residential Property: We have researched and analyzed vacant land sales within West Chicago and the surrounding communities in order to determine the market value of improved land on a per-acre basis of non-residential, within the City of West Chicago with the advantages of all normal road improvements and immediate access to all utilities.

The sales were analyzed for factors including, but not limited to, sale date, size, physical characteristics, utilities and location. A summary of these factors is as follows: Prices in the subject area have been appreciating in recent years as the number of vacant lots suitable for commercial development has diminished. West Chicago and the surrounding communities are considered to be desirable commercial locations and the real estate market is considered to be stable. Market conditions had been improving in the past and therefore all of the sales were adjusted upward accordingly for market conditions.

Size influences value in that larger properties tend to sell at lower unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal, and, conversely, smaller properties tend to sell at higher unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal. The subject of this valuation is considered on a per acre land value, therefore, the smaller sized sales were adjusted downward, and the larger sales were adjusted upward for this factor. Physical characteristics which influence property values include floodplain, wetlands, topography, and vegetation.

The 5 individually outlined sales indicate a size range of 3.85 acre to 25.53 acres with an unadjusted unit price range of $1.34 to $6.19 per square foot and an unadjusted unit price range of $58,442 to $269,636 per acre. The sales were analyzed for factors including, but not limited to, sale date, size, physical characteristics, and location. A summary of each of these factors is as follows: Prices in the subject area have been appreciating in recent years as the number of vacant sites suitable for industrial development has diminished. West Chicago and the surrounding communities are considered to be desirable for industrial sites and the real estate market is considered to be stable. Market conditions have been improving and therefore all of the sales were adjusted upward accordingly for market conditions. There is insufficient data to determine the impact, if any, of the pandemic and social unrest on the market. One sale had an existing lease at the time of sale and was adjusted downward for conditions of sale. Size influences value in that larger properties tend to sell at lower unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal, and, conversely, smaller properties tend to sell at ===== PDF PAGE 45 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 - 31 - higher unit prices when all other factors are considered to be equal. The subject of this valuation is considered on a per acre land value, therefore, the smaller sized sales were adjusted downward, and the larger sales were adjusted upward for this factor. Physical characteristics which influence property values include floodplain, wetlands, topography, and vegetation. The subject is considered to be a typical site within West Chicago with no floodplain or wetland areas which is level and cleared for development. One of the sales contains a significant floodplain area, and an upward adjustment was required. In addition, all of the sales are generally level with no significant changes in topography. Through our study of the sales within the surrounding area, we have found that purchase prices do reflect a premium for the availability of utilities or location on a fully improved street. Therefore, an upward adjustment for utilities and street improvements was necessary. Our analysis of the subject market indicates that the industrial sites located within West Chicago sold at similar unit prices compared to other industrial sale properties within the area after all other adjustments have been made. ===== PDF PAGE 46 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 -32- Thunger Station shor) Wayne Woods rn, | mo | Munger I FAIR OAKS RD __FAIR OAKS RD Prince Crovsing “ j XY 4 \igatton aay eto Ww emurmna UN HAWTHORNE LNV CR 18 1 } } 4 ‘ G DELORME Data use subject to license. or r DeLorme, DeLorme Street Atlas USA® 2015. 0% %w%%*% 1 1% % MN (3.8° W) Data Zoom 11-7 .delorme.com ===== PDF PAGE 47 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] POLACH APPRAISAL GROUP, INC. 20-0301 -33- We have also included in our analysis the sales of sites which have occurred within the surrounding communities of West Chicago.
