Nonte noted
Comp. #1 has a similar location. The inverse relationship between size and PPSF is offset by inferior lower density
zoning that allows fewer uses by right. Comp. #2 has a very similar location. Inferior market conditions at the time of sale offset by inverse
relationship between size and PPSF. Superior zoning in WE1-R4 subdistrict which allows all residential multi-unit construction. Comp. #3 has a
larger site and there is an inverse relationship between size and PPSF. A positive adjustment was made.
Superior zoning. The site was improved at the time of sale by an industrial building. The buyer will gut renovate and convert the building to a
mixed-use live/work type building. Thus, the improvements added some value to the site. However, the broker reports that interest was also
seen from developers looking to raze the improvements and build new. These offers were reported to be slightly lower than the contract price.
Emphasis is placed on the price per square foot in valuing the subject. The comparables indicate a range of $31 to $46 in the
adjusted price per square foot. With emphasis on the subject's location, size and demand for land at this time, we have selected a value of $35 p/s/f for
the subject. $35 x 16,864 sf = $590,240. Rouned, say, $590,000.

I. Description of the Site
The subject property is part of a larger parcel located on the northwest corner of Church Street and Darrow Avenue
in the City of Evanston. The site to be appraised does not carry its own PIN(s) as delineated in this report. Rather, it
is covers parts of multiple parcels/PINs. The current site that the subject is part of is owned by two entities: The
western parcel is owned by Mt. Pisgah Ministry, Inc. and the eastern parcel is owned by the City of Evanston. The
site being appraised will be donated to the client, Housing Opportunity Development Corporation, a not-for-profit
entity, by the current owners and the City of Evanston. This appraisal will be used in connection with the donation.
The client has stated that the property to be appraised is an interior 105.64' x 160.00' rectangular shaped site located
approximately 75.00 feet west of Darrow Avenue. We have not been provided with a plat of subdivision for the site
as described in this report. We assume that the lot size used and location of the site is accurate. We reserve the right
to review this report and alter our opinion of value if this is not the case.
II. Zoning
See attached zoning description.
III. Highest and Best Use Analysis
The subject is being appraised as-is. Many commercially-zoned sites in secondary locations remain vacant and/or
underutilized. Very little, if any, new construction was noted in the subject’s immediate area. If the subject had a
premier Evanston location near the heart of downtown, construction may be feasible. However, rising construction
costs and scarcity of labor has sidelined many developments planned for secondary locations like the subject. The
conclusion of this report is that the highest and best use for the subject is to hold the site vacant for future
development.
We note that the donatee plans to build a multi-unit, mixed-use, affordable housing structure with 3,000 sf of
ground-floor commercial space and 44 affordable rental units above. We have not been provided with plans,
specifications or a construction budget. Furthermore, the land will be donated. It is beyond the scope of this
appraisal to determine the feasibility of this development. The subject is being appraised as is. If development was
feasible, a typical purchaser would build a mixed-use building with ground floor commercial and market-rate
residential units above. Our feasibility analysis takes into account the cost that a typical purchaser would pay for
the site and market rate construction costs. Development of the site does not appear to be feasible at this time.
Recent comparable data was limited. Thus, we expanded our search back five years. Strong weight was placed on
Comparables #2 and #3 located on Church Street. The comparables selected are the best indicators of value. Due to
the lack of truly comparable sales data we have also relied on conversations with area brokers. A conservative
approach to value is appropriate given current market conditions, rising construction costs and the demand for
commercially zoned land.

IV. Community Analysis
The subject property is located within the City of Evanston in Cook County, in the northeastern section of Illinois.
Evanston is situated approximately 12 miles north of Chicago’s central business district. Evanston is surrounded by
the Village of Wilmette to the north, the City of Chicago to the south, Lake Michigan to the east and the Village of
Skokie to the west. Evanston was founded in 1863 and encompasses approximately 7.8 square miles.
The population for Evanston was 78,110 per the most recent American Community Survey from the Census
Bureau. This is up 4.9% from 2010 or 0.49% per year. The Community saw a 0.3% increase from 2000 to 2010 or
0.03% per year. Thus, the past decade has seen an accelerated population growth. This is a positive factor. The
median household income for Evanston was reported at $78,904 as of 2019 per the Census Bureau. The 2019
number is 22% higher than the median household income of Cook County as a whole reported in 2019. Per the
2019 statistics, 14.9% of homes in Evanston have a median income level between $100,000 and $149,999 and
26.6% are over $150,000. 36.0% of the total housing stock is detached single family homes, 13.3% is 2–4-unit
buildings, and 50.6% is buildings with 5 or more units. 55.7% of the housing stock is owner occupied. A growing
population and above-average median income levels are positive factors for the City of Evanston.
Evanston has a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and institutional uses. The predominant land use within
this city is residential which includes single and multi-family dwellings. The majority of the housing stock is over
30-years old. Commercial development is located primarily in a six square block central business district as well as
along major thoroughfares that include Chicago Avenue, Oakton, Howard, Dempster, Main, Church and Central
Streets, and Sherman and Dodge Avenues. Industrial and manufacturing development is located primarily in the
southwestern section of the city along the Chicago Northwestern railroad right-of-way. Institutional uses include
Northwestern University.

The City of Evanston is bound by Wilmette to the north, the City of Chicago to the south, Lake Michigan to the
east, and Skokie to the west. Only scattered parcels of vacant land remain, and there is little room for expansion.
Population growth has largely been achieved through construction of higher density housing near the City center.
The housing stock in Evanston features architectural styles that include Victorian cottages, Colonial mansions, and
some Frank Lloyd Wright designs. Ranches, bungalows and split-levels are dominant in newer areas. Numerous
conversions have taken place in the past ten years, predominantly east of Chicago Avenue near the lakefront. The
apartment rental market is strong due, in part, to the needs of university students.
Evanston's central business district has maintained its presence as a viable commercial/retail area despite the
proliferation of retail development along outlying commercial thoroughfares. The central business district has been
preserved and contains many national chains as well as upscale boutiques and cafes. The downtown area has
several financial institutions, office complexes and commercial retail properties. Shops and boutiques offer a wide
variety of merchandise. Evanston also has many local strip shopping malls. There are greater than 100 eating
establishments, several of which are regionally known.
Following the academic atmosphere of Northwestern University, the City's elementary and high schools are
recognized for their innovative programs and teaching excellence. Evanston is also home to other schools of higher
learning including nursing, theology and culinary training. The City of Evanston provides all typical private and
public services including police and fire protection, and the Evanston Park District maintains extensive parks,
beaches and recreational facilities. Cook County Forest Preserve Districts are also within Evanston.
Access to Evanston is considered to be average. Lake Shore Drive begins south of the city limits providing access
to downtown Chicago. The Edens Expressway (I-94) is located several miles west of Evanston providing access to
the expressway/tollway system. CTA bus lines provide local public transportation. Four local CTA bus lines, seven
CTA train stations and two Metra commuter train stops serve Evanston. Travel time to downtown Chicago via
commuter rail is 35 minutes on a local train and 21 minutes on an express train. The trip takes 45 minutes on the
CTA's Purple Line Express.
We have conducted a survey of the MLS for the Evanston community. Within the past year, 512 detached units
sold ranging from $151,500 to $2,400,000 with a median sale price of $629,500 and an average marketing time of
41 days. Median sale prices are now seeing a positive trend after 12 to 24 months of flattening to modestly
declining values as buyers prefer the space and low-density of the suburbs due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The
median sale price over the past year is up 9% over the prior 12-month period.
Real estate values in Evanston for attached units have also seen a recent positive trend. Within the last year, 719
attached dwellings sold in Evanston ranging in price from $51,250 to $1,630,000. The average marketing time
during this period was 69 days. The median sale price was $266,000. This is up 3% over the prior 12-month period
($259,000).
Evanston is a mature community that has an advantageous location convenient to the city of Chicago. The city has
a higher median household income than the State of Illinois as a whole. Development in this community is limited
by the lack of vacant land. These factors should offer stability to the area. The future of Evanston is generally
considered good. The city has an attractive combination of elements necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy
business environment including a convenient location, transportation facilities, efficient public utility service and a
large varied stable work force.

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: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, 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 parties are well informed or well advised,and each acting in what he considers his own best interest;(3)a reasonable time is allowed
for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S.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.
*Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are necessary
for those costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area;these costs are readily identifiable
since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions.Special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the
comparable property by comparisons to financing terms offered by a third party institutional lender that is not already involved in the
property or transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing or concession
but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market's reaction to the financing or concessions based on the
appraiser's judgement.
STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS AND APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION
CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS:The appraiser's certification that appears in the appraisal report is subject to the following
conditions:
1.The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title to it.The appraiser assumes that
the title is good and marketable and,therefore,will not render any opinions about the title.The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible
ownership.
2.The appraiser has provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the improvements and the sketch is included only to assist
the reader of the report in visualizing the property and understanding the appraiser's determination of its size.
3.The appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data sources) and has noted
in the appraisal report whether the subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor,he or she makes
no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this determination.
4.The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific arrangements to do
so have been made beforehand.
5.The appraiser has estimated the value of the land in the cost approach at its highest and best use and the improvements at their contributory value.These
separate valuations of the land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used.
6.The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as,needed repairs,depreciation, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic
substances,etc.)observed during the inspection of the subject property or that he or she became aware of during the normal research involved in performing
the appraisal.Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent conditions of the property or
adverse environmental conditions (including the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances,etc.)that would make the property more or less valuable,and
has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the property.The
appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such
conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an
environmental assessment of the property.
7.The appraiser obtained the information,estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or she considers to be
reliable and believes them to be true and correct.The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other
parties.
8.The appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
9.The appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclusion for an appraisal that is subject to satisfactory completion,repairs,or
alterations on the assumption that completion of the improvements will be performed in a workmanlike manner.

APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION:The Appraiser certifies and agrees that:
1. I have researched the subject market area and have selected a minimum of three recent sales of properties most similar and proximate to the subject property
for consideration in the sales comparison analysis and have made a dollar adjustment when appropriate to reflect the market reaction to those items of significant
variation.If a significant item in a comparable property is superior to,or more favorable than, the subject property, I have made a negative adjustment to reduce
the adjusted sales price of the comparable and,if a significant item in a comparable property is inferior to,or less favorable than the subject property, I have made
a positive adjustment to increase the adjusted sales price of the comparable.
2. I have taken into consideration the factors that have an impact on value in my development of the estimate of market value in the appraisal report. I have not
knowingly withheld any significant information from the appraisal report and I believe, to the best of my knowledge,that all statements and information in the
appraisal report are true and correct.

and limiting conditions specified in this form.

owners or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the subject property.
5. I have no present or contemplated future interest in the subject property, and neither my current or future employment nor my compensation for performing this
appraisal is contingent on the appraised value of the property.

the attainment of a specific result,or the occurrence of a subsequent event in order to receive my compensation and/or employment for performing the appraisal.I
did not base the appraisal report on a requested minimum valuation, a specific valuation, or the need to approve a specific mortgage loan.
7. I performed this appraisal in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice that were adopted and promulgated by the Appraisal
Standards Board of The Appraisal Foundation and that were in place as of the effective date of this appraisal,with the exception of the departure provision of those

and the estimate I developed is consistent with the marketing time noted in the neighborhood section of this report, unless I have otherwise stated in the
reconciliation section.
8. I have personally inspected the interior and exterior areas of the subject property and the exterior of all properties listed as comparables in the appraisal report.
I further certify that I have noted any apparent or known adverse conditions in the subject improvements,on the subject site,or on any site within the immediate

I had market evidence to support them. I have also commented about the effect of the adverse conditions on the marketability of the subject property.

MULTI-PURPOSE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
FOR FEDERALLY RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Property Address
City County State Zip Code
This Multi-Purpose Supplemental Addendum for Federally Related Transactions was designed to provide the appraiser with a convenient way to comply with the current
appraisal standards and requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC), The Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS), the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), and the Federal Reserve.
This Multi-Purpose Supplemental Addendum is for use with any appraisal. Only those
statements which have been checked by the appraiser apply to the property being appraised.
PURPOSE & FUNCTION OF APPRAISAL
The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property as defined herein. The function of the appraisal is to assist the above-named
Lender in evaluating the subject property for lending purposes. This is a federally related transaction.
EXTENT OF APPRAISAL PROCESS
The appraisal is based on the information gathered by the appraiser from public records, other identified sources, inspection of the subject property and
neighborhood, and selection of comparable sales within the subject market area. The original source of the comparables is shown in the Data Source section
of the market grid along with the source of confirmation, if available. The original source is presented first. The sources and data are considered reliable.
When conflicting information was provided, the source deemed most reliable has been used. Data believed to be unreliable was not included in the report nor
used as a basis for the value conclusion.

supplemented by the appraiser's knowledge of the local market.
Physical depreciation is based on the estimated effective age of the subject property. Functional and/or external depreciation, if present, is specifically
addressed in the appraisal report or other addenda. In estimating the site value, the appraiser has relied on personal knowledge of the local market. This
knowledge is based on prior and/or current analysis of site sales and/or abstraction of site values from sales of improved properties.
The subject property is located in an area of primarily owner-occupied single family residences and the Income Approach is not considered to be meaningful.
For this reason, the Income Approach was not used.
The Estimated Market Rent and Gross Rent Multiplier utilized in the Income Approach are based on the appraiser's knowledge of the subject market area.
The rental knowledge is based on prior and/or current rental rate surveys of residential properties. The Gross Rent Multiplier is based on prior and/or current
analysis of prices and market rates for residential properties.
For income producing properties, actual rents, vacancies and expenses have been reported and analyzed. They have been used to project future rents,
vacancies and expenses.

Comments on Appraisal and Report Identification
Note any USPAP-related issues requiring disclosure and any state mandated requirements:
The ADA became effective 01/26/1992. The appraiser has not made a compliance survey of the property to determine whether or not it
conforms with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the subject property together with a
detailed analysis of the ADA requirements could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the act.
If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property. Since the appraiser has no direct evidence relating to these
issues, the appraiser did not consider possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA in estimating the value of the property.
This report is in compliance with the Commercial Appraisal Reporting Guidelines and the prevailing guidelines issued under the Title XI of the
Federal Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) as well as the prevailing standards outlined in the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of the date the
last party signs this Agreement (the “Effective Date”), and is by and between Mount Pisgah
Ministry, Inc., an Illinois not-for-profit organization (“Seller”), and the City of Evanston, an
Illinois home rule unit of government located in Cook County, Illinois (“Purchaser”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of that certain properties commonly known as 1811-
1815 Church Street, Evanston, Illinois more particularly described on Exhibit 1 attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to convey the Property to Purchaser,
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree to the terms of this Agreement,
which reads in its entirety as follows:
1. Agreement to Purchase. Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to sell and
convey or cause to be conveyed to Purchaser, or its designee, by Special Warranty Deed (the
“Deed”), good and merchantable title to the Property at the price and subject to the terms,
conditions and provisions set forth in this Agreement. The Deed shall be substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
2. Purchase Price. Purchaser agrees to pay and Seller agrees to accept as the purchase price
the sum of $1.00 (“Purchase Price”) payable at closing.
3. Survey. Seller will not be providing a survey and the Purchaser may obtain one at its
own cost and expense.
4. Taxes.
(a) Taxes for Years Prior to Closing. Seller will pay in full all general real property
taxes that are levied with respect to the Property for tax years prior to the year of closing.
(b) Tax Challenges. If any tax challenge is ongoing with respect to the Property for
general real estate taxes levied for any tax years prior to the year of Closing (defined in
Section 7(a) of this Agreement), Seller will receive the full benefit of any refund arising
out of such tax challenge. If any tax challenge commenced by Seller results in a
reduction in taxes for the general real estate taxes levied for the year of Closing, the
parties shall re-prorate taxes for the year of Closing upon receipt of the actual tax bill or
adjusted tax bill. This Section 9(b) expressly survives Closing.
Page 25 of 54 Doc ID: 4cb2c7a583d52b31215562c2979a6472854cb7f7
(c) Taxes for Current Year of Closing. All general real property taxes that are levied
with respect to the Property for the year of Closing will be prorated at the rate of 105%
between Purchaser and Seller as of the business day immediately prior to the Closing.
If the precise amount of taxes levied for the year of Closing cannot be determined, then
the proration shall be computed based on the lesser of (i) the taxes on the Property
levied for the immediately preceding tax year; or (ii) an amount equal to the taxable
valuation, if available, of the Property in the year of Closing multiplied by the prior tax
year’s total tax rate.
5. Title Policy.
(a) At Purchaser’s expense, Purchaser shall obtain a title commitment (the
“Commitment”) with respect to the Property. The Commitment shall establish that the
Property is clear of all liens and encumbrances whatsoever, except for general real estate
taxes not due and payable, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other matters of record.
If the Commitment discloses unpermitted exceptions, Seller may elect, within 30 days
after the date of delivery thereof, to have such exceptions removed from the Commitment
or to have the title insurance company commit to insure against loss or damage that may
be occasioned by such exceptions. If at the end of said 30-day period Seller fails to have
the unpermitted exceptions removed or insured against, Purchaser may elect, upon notice
to Seller within ten days after expiration of the 30-day period, to accept title as it then is.
If Purchaser does not elect to accept title as it then is, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and will have no obligation to acquire the Property.
(b) Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, obtain a title insurance policy by Chicago
Title Insurance Company through its agent, Greater Illinois Title Company, or another
title company acceptable to Purchaser (“Title Insurer”), dated as of the date Closing
(defined in Section 7(a) of this Agreement) in a nominal amount with extended coverage
over the general exceptions, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances whatsoever,
except for general real estate taxes not due and payable, covenants, conditions,
restrictions and other matters of record shown on the title commitment and those
additional matters approved by Purchaser (the “Permitted Exceptions”).
(c) The title commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good and merchantable title
as to all matters insured by the policy, subject only to the exceptions contained in the title
commitment. Seller shall also furnish Purchaser an affidavit of title in customary form
covering the date of Closing and showing title in Seller subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions.
