PROJECT
The City of St. Joseph is proposing to fully reconstruct, partially reconstruct, and/or update utility
infrastructure to the roads previously discussed.
Per request, you desire to know the benefit (if any) as it impacts properties in the project area.
Motivation for the road improvement project appears to stem from deteriorating road surface and older
utility infrastructure.
AREA DESCRIPTION
St. Joseph is located about 10 minutes west of St. Cloud along Highway 75 and I-94. The community is
a suburb of St. Cloud.
about 8 minutes to the west. The colleges in town and nearby provide a boost to the local economy with
the influx of students every year.
The population was 6,534 as of 2010 census (an increase of 39.6% from the 2000 census). The 2017
estimated population is 7,126 (an increase of 9.1% from 2010).
The city is comprised of a variety of commercial, industrial, religious, single-family, multi-family, park, and
agricultural uses. Most existing buildings in the area are of average quality.
Single family homes generally range in value between $75,000 and $300,000+ within city limits. The
higher end homes are on the nearby lakes. The average home price over the past two years is around
$215,000 (MLS statistics). Most homes are average to good quality.
SUBJECT PROPERTIES
The project areas consist of single-family residential homes, religious properties, multi-family properties,
commercial, industrial, public, and agricultural.

OVERALL PROJECT MAP
The projects are individual described on the following pages, as well as the benefits.
Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 Page 3
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The subject project area is located throughout St. Joseph. The properties in the project area are a
mixture of single-family residential, townhomes, twin homes, development land, commercial, religious,
agricultural, public, and industrial.
Owners in the subject area appear to update their property as needed when site and building
components wear out or become dated. Owners in the overall area commonly pave their driveways or
maintain parking lots as needed, recognizing it adds value when done. Therefore, it is logical to update
the road and/or utility infrastructure to the subject properties as needed, as these are essential property
characteristics that are expected in this market.
An informed buyer would consider the condition of the road and traffic flow/management. A well-
constructed and good condition road provides aesthetic appeal to a property and efficient/safe traffic
flow. Given a choice, a potential informed buyer would likely prefer a newer road with good traffic flow
over a deteriorating road with fair traffic flow. Additionally, a potential informed buyer would likely prefer
newer utility infrastructure as compared to older, dated and inferior utility infrastructure.
If replacement of components of real estate near the end of their economic life in a home or building is
postponed, it can be costlier in the long run; delays in replacing components can result in incurring
higher interim maintenance costs and potential difficulty in marketing the property. Also, it is typical for
the cost of the replacement of an improvement to increase over time. That said it is logical and prudent
for market participants to update/replace dated components when needed. Therefore, the highest and
best use of the surrounding properties in the project area is for the continued various uses with the
proposed infrastructure improvements.

EXISTING STREETS & UTILITIES Jade Road Project
Physical Condition of the Existing Road: The existing road improvements are asphalt with base. The
street does not have concrete curb or gutter. The road condition, based on the visual inspection of the
streets is rated to be poor. There are signs of transverse and alligator cracking, along with some areas of
graveling. There are numerous pot holes.
Physical Condition of Existing Utilities: There are no utilities within the project area.
Functional Design of the Road: The existing paved road is in poor condition. There are signs of
transverse and alligator cracking, along with areas of graveling.
Roads in fair to average condition do not meet the expectations of typical market participants in this
suburban market for re-development, resale price, and/or updating the current uses. Overall, the existing
street improvements are in poor condition, are beginning to look dated and reflect likewise on the
adjoining and side street properties.

Based on the preceding grid, the subject properties will improve in 5 of the 16 categories. Market
participants generally recognize that roads need replacing when nearing the end of a long economic life.
A typical buyer in the subject market commonly prefers a good condition paved road surface road versus
an inferior condition paved road surface. In addition to visual benefit, new street improvements provide
better and safer use for pedestrians (biking, walking, stroller, rollerblading, etc.) and drivers. The new
streets will enhance potential for re-development and/or updating the current properties. Properties that
indirectly/directly abut or have driveways/access that exit on the new street will benefit.
Based on past appraisals, experience, and general market information, it is not uncommon for properties
similar to those in the subject market to realize an increase in price for new street improvements.

Discussion of Market Benefit Continued
Given the scope of the project and the age/quality/condition of the buildings/sites, properties in the area
with newer street improvements could see an average price benefit of:
Public use $0.005 to $0.01 per SF of site area
Agricultural $0.01 to $0.02 per SF of site area
Rural residential $0.01 to $0.02 per SF of site area
Note: The above benefit considers only the scope of the project.

EXISTING STREETS & UTILITIES Townsite & Alleys
Physical Condition of the Existing Road: There are two components to this proposed project area,
public streets and two areas of alleys.
st
The streets are Birch Street West, Ash Street West, and 1 Avenue Northwest. These streets are
comprised of asphalt service and aggregate road base. The streets have concrete curb and gutter. The
road condition, based on the visual inspection of the streets is rated to be fair. There are signs of
transverse and alligator cracking, along with some areas of graveling.
The second component are the alleys referred to in the feasibility report as Block 7 and Block 8. The
Block 7 alley road surface consists of asphalt and gravel. The condition of the alley is rated to be fair.
The block 8 alley has a mixture of asphalt and gravel surfaces. The condition of the alley is rated to be
fair.
Both alleys provide ingress and egress to the adjoining properties.
Physical Condition of Existing Utilities: The utilities within the neighborhood are public sanitary sewer
and public water. The utilities in the alleys are proposed to be updated.
Functional Design of the Road: The existing paved roads are in fair condition. There are signs of
transverse and alligator cracking, along with areas of graveling.
Roads in fair to average condition do not meet the expectations of typical market participants in this
suburban market for re-development, resale price, and/or updating the current uses. Overall, the existing
street improvements are in fair condition, are beginning to look dated and reflect likewise on the
adjoining and side street properties.
PROPOSED ROAD IMPROVEMENT Townsite & Alleys
st
For Birch Street West, Ash Street West, and 1 Avenue Northwest the city is proposing a mill and
overlay with no other updates. The public water and sewer are not part of the project.
For the alleys, the city is proposing the following:
Block 7: Reconstruction of the
and water pipes under the east and west legs of Block 7 will be replaced. New storm sewer will
also be installed.
Block 8: asphalt. A spot repair
to the sanitary sewer will be completed. The water main in the west alley leg and a section in the
east alley leg will be replaced with new piping. New storm sewer will also be installed.
Given the existing condition of the road, the proposed project is logical.

Based on the preceding grid, the subject properties will improve in 7 of the 16 categories. Market
participants generally recognize that roads need replacing when nearing the end of a long economic life.
A typical buyer in the subject market commonly prefers a good condition paved road surface road versus
an inferior condition paved road surface. In addition to visual benefit, new street improvements provide
better and safer use for pedestrians (biking, walking, stroller, rollerblading, etc.) and drivers. The new
streets will enhance potential for re-development and/or updating the current properties. Properties that
indirectly/directly abut or have driveways/access that exit on the new street will benefit.
Based on past appraisals, experience, and general market information, it is not uncommon for properties
similar to those in the subject market to realize an increase in price for new street improvements.

Discussion of Market Benefit Continued

with newer street improvements could see an average price benefit of:
st
Birch Street West, Ash Street West, & 1 Avenue Northwest

Commercial/Office, overlay $0.10 to $0.20 per SF of useable site area

Commercial/office (direct access to alley) $50 to $70 per linear foot of alley
Commercial/office (in direct access to alley) $40 to $60 per linear foot of alley
*Properties with side street frontage would be assessed at the lower end of the range, especially if
no direct access on the improved street
Note: The above benefit considers only the scope of the project.

CONCLUSION
The benefit amount noted above should not be construed or relied on as being an appraisal, but
are general observations based on the overall market. If an appraisal were made on the individual
properties, the actual benefit amount could vary from market observations above.
