APPRAISAL PROBLEM
The problem posed in this appraisal is to estimate
the value of a series of parcels of land owned by the City
of Ithaca and used presently or in the past as a part of
the Water and Sewer Department of the City.
Two different values will be sought in this appraisal.
Market Value and Value in Use, Market Value will be used
for those properties that could or would be commonly bought
and sold on the open market. Value in Use will be sought
for those "Special Purpose Properties" that are not commonly
traded in the Market Place but do have a value in use.
Page 3
Edward w. Austin
Realtor and Appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
The Market Data Approach is the most reliable indica
tor of value for those properties commonly traded in the
Market Place. The Cost Approach is the best and most
reliable indicator for "Special Purpose Properties".
The appraiser was instructed to value parcels I
through V as bare land and further to value parcel I with
present improvements, to value parcel IV with the special
purpose improvements thereon. Parcel IV is the only
parcel that will be valued by the Cost Approach to value.
DEFINITION OF VALUE APPRAISED
The values reported in this appraisal will be Market
Value for those parcels that would have a substitute or
similar use and Use Value for those Special Purpose
Parcels.
Market Value is considered to be that amount of
money, expressed in dollars, that a property would bring
if exposed on an open, coir^etitive market for a reasonable
period of time to find an informed, knowledgeable buyer,
the buyer and seller being fully informed of all the uses
to which the property is capable, neither being under
duress to buy or to sell.
Page
EDWARD W. AUSTIN
Realtor and appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
Use Value or Value in Use is the value of a "Special*
Purpose Property",
Special-Purpose Property is defined in the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraiser's Appraisal Terminology
and Handbook as being, "A property devoted to or available
for utilization for a special purpose, but which has not
independent marketability in the generally recognized
acceptance of such a term, such as a clubhouse, a church
property, a public museum, a public school, and so on.
It also includes other buildings having value, such as
hospitals, theatres, breweries and others which cannot
be converted to other uses without large capital invest
ments. "
In estimating the Market Value, a search has been
made for sales of bare land and also of properties similar
and comparable to Parcel number I.
In estimating the Value in Use of Parcel number IV,
construction costs furnished by consulting engineers
Stearns & Wheeler has been used in conjunction with esti
mated land value.

Finger Lakes region of Central New York State, an area
noted for its educational institutions and its position
as an agricultural center of the Northeastern United
States. Situated in Tompkins County, it is served by
a network of state highways including the following
routes; 13, 89, 96, 96B, and 79.
The City of Ithaca, with an estimated population of
28,200, is wholly surrounded by the Town of Ithaca. Al
though the Municipalities are not primarily industrial
communities, they have over 60 manufacturing establish
ments- It is estimated that the Consumer Spendable income
for 1978 was $529,717,000.
Among the principal products manufactured are;
Computer terminals, shotguns, research instruments, heat
resistant materials, power-drive chains, automatic pre

The Ithaca area has long been culturally and academi
cally influenced by both Cornell University, founded in
1865, and Ithaca College, founded in 1892. Ithaca College
is located on a new multi-million dollar campus, while
Cornell has added modern buildings and research facilities
to its original campus. Student enrollment at Cornell
University in 1979-1980 was approximately 16,500 and at
Ithaca College it was approximately 4,100.
Cayuga Lake, more than 40 miles in length, is the
largest of the six major lakes in the Finger Lakes Region
and offers a variety of recreational activities. There
are ten state, municipal, and private boat-launching sites

ECONOMIC TRENDS
The economic condition of the Ithaca area is healthy
comparatively. Employment is good along with a relatively
low unemployment rate. Many people consider the "business"
of Ithaca to be education due to Ithaca College and Cornell
University being located here. These educational insti
tutions do not flucate rapidly and have a stabilizing
effect on the Community. Several large national corpora
tions or divisions thereof are located in Ithaca; Morse-
Borge Warner, National Cash Kegister Co., Ithaca Gun Co.,
and others along with many smaller corporations that help
stabilize the area,
SALES HISTORY OF PROPERTY
There has been no sale of the subject land parcels
in the past ten years,
ZONING
The area of the subject parcels is in the P-1
designated area. The permitted primary uses are:
Public recreation
Pxiblic and semi-public institutions whose
purpose is education—with exceptions.
Accessory uses and service buildings for
permitted uses, upon issuance of a special permit.
Page 12
Edward W. Austin
Realtor and Appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
IHIGHEST AND BEST USES
The Highest and Best Use of the subject parcels is
considered to be the present use do to the zoning placing
a legal limitation on use.
Upon the discontinuance of the present use of the
subject parcels for the purpose of this appraisal, it is
assumed the zoning would be changed to a classification in
keeping with the neighborhood.
PROPERTY VALUATION
In arriving at an estimate of value, the three
approaches to value have been considered and only two have
been used. The Income or Economic Approach has not been
used due to a lack of sufficient information on rental data
to justify a conclusion to value. The Market Data and
Replacement Cost Approaches have been used.
In the Market Data Approach, a search has been made
for the most recent sales of bare land and improved prop
erties that are located in commercially and industrially
zoned areas in the City of Ithaca. From these sales, an
estimate of value has been drawn.
Information has been obtained from the consulting
engineers Stearns & Wheeler, a local contractor and
Page 13

ITHACA. N. Y.
national cost service, as to the estimated replacement
cost of buildings and improvements for the cost approach
to value. To this has been added land value to arrive at
a value estimate.
hmP VALUE
The following sales of bare land have been analyzed
and compared to the subject property to draw a conclusion
as to the bare land value of the subject pafrcels. The
sales prices shown and the lot sizes have been taken from
records in the County Assessor's Office.

* This adjustment is based on time only. Consideration has been given to
adjustments for lot size, use, and location and will be dealt with later
in this report. The adjustment for time is based on an estimated increase
of 8% per year.
Edward w. Austin
Realtor and Appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
The land sales charted show a range of $.51 to $3.76
per square foot when adjusted for time only. Further
consideration needs to be given to location, size and use
of the sales lots when being compared to the subject
parcels. As shown on the chart, generally square foot
values on the large plots are lowest with the highest price
on the small lots and the medium sized lots being the med
ium range of selling prices.
An analysis has been made of two sales in the
immediate neighborhood of the subject land parcels. The
recent sale of the three quarters interest in Grossman
Industrial Properties Inc. to Hospital Management Group
and the sale from M. Bennett to H. W. Tayton Co. Inc. By
abstraction and adjustment for time, land values are
indicated to be approximately $.83 and $1.00 per square
foot. The land area of the Grossman property is approx
imately 89,515 square feet and the Bennett property being
approximately 31,929 square feet.
A comparison has been made between Subject Parcels
I & II and those sales that are the best indicators of value
to these parcels. The sales considered are the above named
Grossman sale, Bennett sale, and also lot sale number 7.
These sales are all in the immediate neighborhood but the
Page 16
Edward W. Austin
Realtor and Appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
Grossman and Bennett sales are considered to have better
locations with their exposure and access to Route 13 for
business purposes. The lot size of the Grossman sale and
sale number 7 are very equal to Parcels I & II. There is a
wide variety of use in the three comparables used but all
are used commercially. Value indicated by these sales is
assumed to be $.80 per square foot.
Subject Parcel III is considerably smaller in land
area and is best compared to lot sales numbers 8 & 9. It
is felt that the use of parcel III could be comparable to
sales 8 & 9 and the location is comparable to these two lot
sales. Value is assumed to be $1.25 per square foot.
Parcel IV is a large lot containing approximately
12.47 acres of land. This parcel is best compared to sales
1 & 2 for size but does not have the valuable location
advantage. For the purpose of this appraisal, it was
assumed that the land was vacant and the zoning could be
changed to a commercial use. Bare land value is assumed
to be $.38 per square foot.
Parcel V is also a large lot zoned M-1. The only
lot sale in the M-1 district was sale 6. The M-1 district
permits a wide rauige of commercial uses and the value
range is very comparable to other business zones. Parcel
V is restricted in use due to two electric transmission
Page 17
Edward W. Austin
Realtor and appraiser
ITHACA. N. Y.
lines bi-secting the lot. The access to the lot is by a
paved, dead end street. Use of the lot is further restr
icted due to the location of the sewer treatment plant.
While there is a minimum amount of odor associated with
the sewer plant, it is assumed that there would be a
very limited demand for the property. The square foot
selling price of Sale #2 was S.536 for a prime location
in a commercial zone, with better access and a more flex
ible lot for development. Value of Parcel V is estimated
to be 25% less or $.40 per square foot.
It has been concluded from the analysis of the lot
sales that value is not dictated by zoning but rather by
location and lot size.
It is assumed that land value of the subject parcels
is as fbllows:
Parcel I
Parcel II
Parcel IJI
Parcel IV
Parcel V
68,882 sq.ft. at $ .80 = $ 55,105.00
