Aided by flight tracking programs, the Airport has captured use of transient aircraft parking aprons that had historically been missed. While strict enforcement of apron usage fees has not drawn any significant attention, four regular operators questioned a discrepancy between historical charges and recent charges: Iliamna Air Taxi, Kroger Co., Lake and Peninsula Airlines, and Curtis Glenn—all were satisfied with the Airport’s response, and remitted payment accordingly. Airport Administration noted the interest of the four operators, considered their time on ground, surveyed other airport rates & fee structures with similar users, and determined that the current ENA fee structure does not consider quick-turn aircraft operations. By dividing the existing fees below, the Airport is refining its structure of fair and reasonable fees. Airport administration believes that dividing the fee structure in half adequately balances the Federal Aviation Administration’s principles and Grant Assurance that the Airport “maintain a fee and rental structure that in the circumstances of the airport makes the airport as financially self-sustaining as possible,” the use of transient parking aprons by revenue generating operations as well as non-revenue generating operations, and still capturing revenue, historically, not captured—In good faith. The Airport is proposing the following amendments to the City of Kenai Schedule of Rates, Charges and Fees Effective July 1, 2022: -transient, 4,001 – 12,500 lbs. 0-12 hrs. $25.00 -transient, 4,001 – 12,500 lbs. per day12-24 hrs. $50.00 -transient, 12,501 – 100,000 lbs. 0-12 hrs. $50.00 -transient, 12,501 – 100,000 lbs. per day12-24 hrs. $100.00 Does Commission recommend Council Adopt a Resolution Amending Airport Aircraft Parking Fees?

That the following policy adopted for the specific ten City-owned leased lands as identified on Attachment A attached hereto shall be amended as follows: POLICY FOR SALE OF SPECIFIC AIRPORT LEASED LANDS Purpose: To implement a policy regarding the sale of Airport owned property outside the Airport reserve currently leased with substantial leasehold improvements. This Policy is intended to provide an equitable and uniform purchase procedure for the current Lessees to purchase the specific ten Airport owned parcels identified in Attachment A. Disclaimer: This Policy does not provide for the sale of any specific property, but only a method for such sale, subject to the Ordinances of the City of Kenai. Any specific sale must be separately approved by the City Council, which may approve or disapprove any such sale, in its sole discretion. It is intended that this Policy remain in effect [FOR A PERIOD OF NO MORE THAN FIVE YEARS] until July 6, 2021, however, it is recognized by the City Council and Administration, and should be recognized by any affected Lessee, that the City Council of Kenai may amend, modify, or rescind this Policy, or applicable City Ordinances which could affect this Policy, at any time. Sale Conditions: A. If a sale is approved by the City Council of any one of the ten specified leased properties, the sales price acceptable to the City shall be one of the following alternatives: i. 125% of [A] the fair market value of the [RAW] land excluding lessee-constructed improvements as determined by an appraisal[.t...ru:i ii.

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: a. buyer and seller are typically motivated; b. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; c. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; d. payment is made in terms of cash in US dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and e. 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. 1 We estimate the market value of the fee simple estate, which is defined as follows.

A demographic and economic summary of the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) and City of Kenai follows. The reader is referred to the map below and on following pages that illustrate the location and assist in the description and analysis. We note that due to lack of funding, the KPB ceased economic and financial publications. Kenai Location Map The Kenai Peninsula Borough is comprised of the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet including areas northeast of the Alaska Peninsula. The borough also includes portions of Chugach National Forest, Kenai Wildlife Refuge, Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National Park, and Katmai National Park. Encompassing 24,800 square miles, there are 16,000± square miles (65%) of land and 8,700± square miles (35%) of water. Three distinct communities and population centers are established within the Borough. Seward is located at the terminus of the Seward Highway on the Gulf of Alaska coast, Kenai/Soldotna are located on Cook Inlet and surrounding the mouth of the Kenai River, and Homer is located at the terminus of the Sterling Highway on Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. A large portion of the Borough Overview Kenai Peninsula Borough Summary Kenai Soldotna Anchorage N r1jNM Cook Inlet 46 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 10 population is scattered along the road systems rather than in identifiable cities or communities. Population Together, Kenai, Soldotna, Nikiski, Salamatof, and Kasilof have the largest population base in the Borough with an estimated 17,000± residents in 2019. Population within the Kenai census area is 7,056 residents and has remained flat over the past two decades. Similarly, surrounding communities have experienced population stability. Employment Borough employment is characterized as relatively diverse with no single dominant industry, with the exception of government. The five industry categories that have the highest economic influence, based on total wages, within the borough are Federal, State, and local government (29%) trade, transportation, and utilities (17%), education and health services (16%), natural resources and mining (11%), leisure and hospitality (6%), and manufacturing (6%). Supporting employment sectors include construction (5%), professional and business services (4%), and financial activities (4%). The table below indicates 2018 Borough wages by industry. KPB Total Wages by Industry (2018) Source: Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Research and Analysis Section, January – December 2018 KPB WORKERS BY INDUSTRY (2018) Natural Resources and Mining 11% Constructlon 5% Manufacturing 6% Trade, Transportation, and Utllltl es 17% Other/Unclassified '" ■nd Businen Stirvices "" Leisure and Hospitality 6% Education and Health Services 16% 47 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 11 Similar to most rural Alaska economies, government is one of the key employment factors. Leisure and hospitality (tourism) remains as a driving economic force of the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s economy. Both residents and non-residents utilize the Peninsula for its vast fishing, camping, sightseeing, and other recreational opportunities. The visitor industry is cyclical with most activity occurring during summer months. However, sales in the visitor industry are an important source of municipal revenues as both city and borough government use collected sales taxes to support government operations. The oil and gas industry is scattered throughout the Peninsula. Natural gas endeavors marked increases in new exploration projects in Kenai, on the Westside of Cook Inlet as well as lower Kenai Peninsula between Clam Gulch and Ninilchik. However, negative aspects of the industry exist that include closing oil platforms due to poor production levels. Overall, the outlook for Kenai Peninsula Borough’s oil and gas industry is continued steady natural gas exploration and production with stagnant oil efforts. Capital investment in storage development, reserves replacement, and pipeline infrastructure are necessary and pressure exploration cost and development upward. Location Map Kenai is located on the western coast of the Peninsula, and is often associated with Soldotna, which is located 11± miles to the southeast. These two cities have become known as the “twin cities”, sharing an City of Kenai Summary Kenai Cook Inlet Soldotna Kenai River N 48 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 12 integrated economy, while maintaining their independence. Kenai is a home rule city with a population of 7,056. In the summer months, the area benefits from with tourists fishing the Kenai River. Kenai is also the center for the oil and gas industry on the Peninsula, providing services and supplies for Cook Inlet’s oil and natural gas drilling and exploration. Nikiski, which lies north of Kenai, has two refineries established to process oil from the Cook Inlet oil platforms and the Swanson River oil fields. There are numerous oil field support businesses located in the area as well as the refineries. Kenai has the largest airport on the peninsula, the Kenai Municipal Airport, which has regular scheduled flights to/from Anchorage and other communities in the region. The Nikiski industrial district located north of Kenai extends along the shore of Cook Inlet for 1.5± miles and one-mile inland. Despite the relatively small area, the value of industrial development exceeds $1 billion. The Agrium, Inc. nitrogen plant, Tesoro Alaska refinery and former ConocoPhillips LNG export plant are the principal industrial development. The LNG plant ceased operations in 2011, and reopened for intermittent natural gas shipments until 2015. The plant was sold to Andeavor in 2018 for $10M±, a significantly below market price. Agrium merged with PotashCorp in 2018, forming a new company called Nutrien, who currently owns the former Agrium plant. In 2014, Homer Electric Association began generating its own power at the Nikiski Combined Plant, producing 80 megawatts of power. In addition, HEA purchased the Bernice Lake Power Plant from Chugach Electric Association for $12M±. These facilities are primary employers in Nikiski and account for nearly 10% of KPB total employment. As Nikiski remains a hub for power generation in the Kenai Peninsula, we do not anticipate major change to the Nikiski industrial district in the near term. The potential Alaska LNG Project is on the horizon, with optimism remaining on the Kenai Peninsula for eventual construction. The project entails a gas processing plant on the North Slope, an 800-mile gas pipeline and a liquefaction facility in the Nikiski area. Tentatively, the total project cost is estimated at $45B±. To date, 570± acres have been acquired in Nikiski to develop the project. The City of Kenai passed a resolution in December 2018, giving unanimous support to the LNG project; however, this joint venture between the State of Alaska and private oil and gas industry appears to have stalled, with no definite timetable for development. In 2012, ENSTAR Natural Gas Company began injecting natural gas into their new storage facility in Kenai. The Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Alaska facility (CINGSA) is Alaska’s first independent gas 49 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 13 storage facility with 11 billion cubic feet of capacity. The project cost is estimated at $160M±. Although most oil and gas fields in the Cook Inlet Basin are well past their peak, annual production has not declined significantly in the past decade. Moreover, smaller independent oil companies are prospecting in the Cook Inlet basin with the intent of using new technology to enhance production profitability. However, the maturing life-cycle of oil and gas production has caused attrition in smaller businesses that support this industry. More importantly, this economic trend has created a market imbalance for industrial and commercial real estate. For example, we observed several smaller industrial or commercial properties that are vacant or abandoned because of contraction in the oil and gas industry. Recent capital investments made by larger energy companies have helped revitalize Kenai Peninsula’s oil and gas sector. Natural gas prices gradually recovered into summer 2014 from their lows in early 2012. Late 2014 to early 2015 saw another downturn in natural gas prices before a mid-2016/17 recovery. After briefly spiking in 4th quarter 2018, natural gas prices trended downward into 2020, where they reached record low prices in March, and again in July due to lack of demand driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prices made a slight recovery in the second half of 2020, but continue to remain much lower than the 20-yaer average. If demand for natural gas from Asia and the Lower 48 recovers, additional capital investment in the Kenai Peninsula will become more viable. Expressed in the table below is the U.S. Average Natural Gas Price over the past ten-year period, which has experienced significant volatility. Historical Natural Gas Price ($/MMBTU) Source: macrotrends $5.50 $5 $4.50 $4 $3.50 $3 $2 .50 $2 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 50 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 14 Optimism has been created by renewed investment in the Kenai Peninsula. Sale activity remains relatively scarce with assemblage, expansion, or special-purpose use representing the principal components of demand. Short-term uncertainty will likely continue to dampen the Kenai economy, which benefits from anglers and sightseeing tourism. Travel restrictions, and decreasing demand linked to the COVID-19 virus are slowly recovering from 2021 with cautious optimism for continued recovery in 2022. After analysis, we determined that industrial and commercial property values have been relatively stable over the past decade, but have declined from the 1980s peak. Conclusion 51 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 15 Chapter 3: Neighborhood Description and Analysis The appraised land is located just south of the Kenai Municipal Airport and southwest of the Kenai Business District.

Economic incentive is the motivation that has a market-effect on the productivity or profitability of the land. The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal (Seventh Edition) defines highest and best use as follows. The reasonably probably use of a 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. A property’s highest and best use as vacant may differ from that as improved. It is the appraiser’s responsibility to analyze each scenario; then identify, explain, and justify the conclusion of each type of use. Per client instructions, the subject property is analyzed as though vacant. Determination of a property’s most profitable use requires analyzing all feasible alternatives. The criteria for testing potential uses as though vacant are legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. The following highest and best use analysis is the foundation of the appraisal process for the subject properties. Physical Possibility: The appraised parcel contains 25,663 square feet or 0.59± acre fronting the Kenai Spur Highway. Frontage measures 120± feet, which enhances access, exposure, and development potential. Demand along the Kenai Spur Highway commercial corridor is high when compared to alternative interior commercial locations. Highway frontage and linkage to alternative commercial locations in Kenai are positive characteristics. Legal Permissibility: Although the appraised property is within the City of Kenai, zoning regulations do not generally apply to current ownership because the property remains in restricted status. The subject parcel is zoned Central Mixed Use (CMU) which encourages commercial-type development in a centrally located area in the City of Kenai, primarily for shopping, personal and professional services, entertainment services, entertainment establishments and restaurants and related businesses. The CMU district is also intended to accommodate a mixture of residential and commercial uses, and designed in a manner that encourages pedestrian movement throughout Overview Highest and Best Use Analysis As If Vacant 57 22-3698 – Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 21 the area. Although certain industrial use are allowed., most within the CMU zone require a conditional use permit to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. We are not aware of any recorded plat restrictions that may affect development potential of the subject property. Financial Feasibility: Physically possible uses permitted are all financially viable. Financially feasible commercial uses include restaurants (both dining and fast food), hotel/motel, retail, and office use. Other commercial uses are possible, which may offer greater risk and lack economic feasibility. In conclusion, the Commercial neighborhood’s location, existing land use trends, and physical characteristics all support commercial development, which we consider to by the highest and best use. The subject’s physical characteristics, surrounding land use, CMU zoning, location, access, etc., encourage commercial development. Based on these factors, the highest and best use, as vacant, is for commercial development.

The approach is founded on the principle of substitution, theorizing value is a function of a knowledgeable investor’s (buyer) intent to pay no more for a specific property than the cost of acquiring an alternative property offering similar utility (economic satisfaction). The sales comparison approach is the best approach for valuing vacant land. Our sales search focused on vacant land with similar physical and economic character to the subject, located in the immediate neighborhood. In order to facilitate a comparative analysis, we expanded our search to include commercial and light industrial properties in other Kenai neighborhoods. These criteria produced five sales that transpired in from 2016 to 2022. The primary land sales we relied upon are listed in the table below.

Lessee shall reimburse the City for any cost, including legal fees and administrative costs reasonably incurred by the City in acting to correct the imminent threat violation. F. WAIVER: A waiver by the City of any default by the Lessee of any provision of this Lease will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default.

The waiver by the City of any provision in this Lease cannot be enforced or relied upon unless the waiver is in writing and signed on behalf of the City. The City's failure to insist upon the strict performance by the Lessee of any provision in this Lease is not a waiver or relinquishment for the future, and the provision will continue in full force. 86 LEASE OF CITYLANDS Page 16 of 30 G.

If the Lessor sells Permanent Improvements under this Paragraph for removal from the Premises, the departing Lessee's obligation under this Paragraph continues until the Premises are remediated and restored to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor after the improvements have been removed. b. If the departing Lessee elects to have the Lessor sell Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements at public auction per this Section, the Lessee shall, within 30 days after the expiration, cancellation, or termination of this Lease: i. submit to the Lessor a written request and authorization to sell the Permanent Improvements by public auction; ii. provide to the Lessor an executed conveyance document transferring clear title to the Permanent Improvements to the successful bidder at the public auction, along with authorization to the Lessor, as agent for the Lessee for purposes of the sale only, to endorse the name of the successful bidder on the conveyance document upon receipt of payment of the successful bid price; and 88 LEASE OF CITYLANDS Page 18 of 30 iii. before the date of the public auction, remove all personal property, remediate any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and leave the Premises in a neat and clean physical condition acceptable to the Lessor. c.

If all or a portion of the Permanent Improvements do not sell at public auction, the Lessee will remove those Permanent Improvements, remediate any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and restore the Premises to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor within 60 days after the auction. d. If the Lessee shows good cause to the Lessor and if it is not inconsistent with the best interest of the City of Kenai, the Lessor will grant an extension of time that is sufficient to allow the Lessee to remove or sell Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements, remediate any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and to restore the Premises to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor. e. The Lessor will, by written notice, direct the departing Lessee to remove Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements from the Premises, to remediate, consistent with applicable law, any Contamination for which the Lessee is responsible and to restore the Premises to a clean and neat physical condition acceptable to the Lessor if the Lessor determines in writing: i. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises are not consistent with any written City program or plan required for compliance with applicable federal, state, or local law; ii. that the continued presence of the Permanent Improvements on the Premises is not in the best interest of the City of Kenai; or iii. that the Permanent Improvements present a hazard to public health or safety. 89 LEASE OF CITYLANDS Page 19 of 30 f. The departing Lessee to whom the Lessor has issued direction under Paragraph e of this Section shall comply with the Lessor's direction within 60 days after issuance of the direction and at no cost to the Lessor.

If the departing Lessee does not timely remove or sell the Lessee-owned Permanent Improvements on the Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Section, any remaining Permanent Improvements and any remaining personal property of the departing Lessee will be considered permanently abandoned.

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: a. buyer and seller are typically motivated; b. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; c. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; d. payment is made in terms of cash in US dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and e. 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. 1 We estimate the market value of the fee simple estate, which is defined as follows. Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.2 Per DNR records, the legal description is as follows: Lot 5, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska. 1 Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition (2020), by the Appraisal Institute, p. 49. 2 Appraisal of Real Estate, Fifteenth Edition (2020), by the Appraisal Institute, p. 60.

Exposure Time 120 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 9 Chapter 2: Kenai Area Analysis and Industry Outlook The appraised property is located in Kenai, Alaska. A demographic and economic summary of the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) and City of Kenai follows. The reader is referred to the map below and on following pages that illustrate the location and assist in the description and analysis. We note that due to lack of funding, the KPB ceased economic and financial publications. Kenai Location Map The Kenai Peninsula Borough is comprised of the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet including areas northeast of the Alaska Peninsula. The borough also includes portions of Chugach National Forest, Kenai Wildlife Refuge, Kenai Fjords National Park, Lake Clark National Park, and Katmai National Park. Encompassing 24,800 square miles, there are 16,000± square miles (65%) of land and 8,700± square miles (35%) of water. Three distinct communities and population centers are established within the Borough. Seward is located at the terminus of the Seward Highway on the Gulf of Alaska coast, Kenai/Soldotna are located on Cook Inlet and surrounding the mouth of the Kenai River, and Homer is located at the terminus of the Sterling Highway on Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. A large portion of the Borough population is scattered along the road systems rather than in identifiable cities or communities. Overview Kenai Peninsula Borough Summary Kenai Soldotna Anchorage N 121 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 10 Population Together, Kenai, Soldotna, Nikiski, Salamatof, and Kasilof have the largest population base in the Borough with an estimated 17,000± residents in 2019. Population within the Kenai census area is 7,056 residents and has remained flat over the past two decades. Similarly, surrounding communities have experienced population stability. Employment Borough employment is characterized as relatively diverse with no single dominant industry, with the exception of government. The five industry categories that have the highest economic influence, based on total wages, within the borough are Federal, State, and local government (29%) trade, transportation, and utilities (17%), education and health services (16%), natural resources and mining (11%), leisure and hospitality (6%), and manufacturing (6%). Supporting employment sectors include construction (5%), professional and business services (4%), and financial activities (4%). The table below indicates 2018 Borough wages by industry. KPB Total Wages by Industry (2018) Source: Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Research and Analysis Section, January – December 2018 Similar to most rural Alaska economies, government is one of the key employment factors. Leisure and hospitality (tourism) remains as a driving economic force of the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s economy. 122 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 11 Both residents and non-residents utilize the Peninsula for its vast fishing, camping, sightseeing, and other recreational opportunities. The visitor industry is cyclical with most activity occurring during summer months. However, sales in the visitor industry are an important source of municipal revenues as both city and borough government use collected sales taxes to support government operations. The oil and gas industry is scattered throughout the Peninsula. Natural gas endeavors marked increases in new exploration projects in Kenai, on the Westside of Cook Inlet as well as lower Kenai Peninsula between Clam Gulch and Ninilchik. However, negative aspects of the industry exist that include closing oil platforms due to poor production levels. Overall, the outlook for Kenai Peninsula Borough’s oil and gas industry is continued steady natural gas exploration and production with stagnant oil efforts. Capital investment in storage development, reserves replacement, and pipeline infrastructure are necessary and pressure exploration cost and development upward. Location Map Kenai is located on the western coast of the Peninsula, and is often associated with Soldotna, which is located 11± miles to the southeast. These two cities have become known as the “twin cities”, sharing an integrated economy, while maintaining their independence. Kenai is a home rule city with a population of 7,056. In the summer months, the area benefits from with tourists fishing the Kenai River. Kenai is also the center for the oil and gas industry on the Peninsula, providing City of Kenai Summary Kenai Cook Inlet Soldotna Kenai River N 123 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 12 services and supplies for Cook Inlet’s oil and natural gas drilling and exploration. Nikiski, which lies north of Kenai, has two refineries established to process oil from the Cook Inlet oil platforms and the Swanson River oil fields. There are numerous oil field support businesses located in the area as well as the refineries. Kenai has the largest airport on the peninsula, the Kenai Municipal Airport, which has regular scheduled flights to/from Anchorage and other communities in the region. The Nikiski industrial district located north of Kenai extends along the shore of Cook Inlet for 1.5± miles and one-mile inland. Despite the relatively small area, the value of industrial development exceeds $1 billion. The Agrium, Inc. nitrogen plant, Tesoro Alaska refinery and former ConocoPhillips LNG export plant are the principal industrial development. The LNG plant ceased operations in 2011, and reopened for intermittent natural gas shipments until 2015. The plant was sold to Andeavor in 2018 for $10M±, a significantly below market price. Agrium merged with PotashCorp in 2018, forming a new company called Nutrien, who currently owns the former Agrium plant. In 2014, Homer Electric Association began generating its own power at the Nikiski Combined Plant, producing 80 megawatts of power. In addition, HEA purchased the Bernice Lake Power Plant from Chugach Electric Association for $12M±. These facilities are primary employers in Nikiski and account for nearly 10% of KPB total employment. As Nikiski remains a hub for power generation in the Kenai Peninsula, we do not anticipate major change to the Nikiski industrial district in the near term. The potential Alaska LNG Project is on the horizon, with optimism remaining on the Kenai Peninsula for eventual construction. The project entails a gas processing plant on the North Slope, an 800- mile gas pipeline and a liquefaction facility in the Nikiski area. Tentatively, the total project cost is estimated at $45B±. To date, 570± acres have been acquired in Nikiski to develop the project. The City of Kenai passed a resolution in December 2018, giving unanimous support to the LNG project; however, this joint venture between the State of Alaska and private oil and gas industry appears to have stalled, with no definite timetable for development. In 2012, ENSTAR Natural Gas Company began injecting natural gas into their new storage facility in Kenai. The Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Alaska facility (CINGSA) is Alaska’s first independent gas storage facility with 11 billion cubic feet of capacity. The project cost is estimated at $160M±. Although most oil and gas fields in the Cook Inlet Basin are well past their peak, annual production has not declined significantly in the past 124 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 13 decade. Moreover, smaller independent oil companies are prospecting in the Cook Inlet basin with the intent of using new technology to enhance production profitability. However, the maturing life-cycle of oil and gas production has caused attrition in smaller businesses that support this industry. More importantly, this economic trend has created a market imbalance for industrial and commercial real estate. For example, we observed several smaller industrial or commercial properties that are vacant or abandoned because of contraction in the oil and gas industry. Recent capital investments made by larger energy companies have helped revitalize Kenai Peninsula’s oil and gas sector. Natural gas prices gradually recovered into summer 2014 from their lows in early 2012. Late 2014 to early 2015 saw another downturn in natural gas prices before a mid-2016/17 recovery. After briefly spiking in 4th quarter 2018, natural gas prices trended downward into 2020, where they reached record low prices in March, and again in July due to lack of demand driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prices made a slight recovery in the second half of 2020, but continue to remain much lower than the 20-yaer average. If demand for natural gas from Asia and the Lower 48 recovers, additional capital investment in the Kenai Peninsula will become more viable. Expressed in the table below is the U.S. Average Natural Gas Price over the past ten-year period, which has experienced significant volatility. Historical Natural Gas Price ($/MMBTU) Source: macrotrends 125 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 14 Optimism has been created by renewed investment in the Kenai Peninsula. Sale activity remains relatively scarce with assemblage, expansion, or special-purpose use representing the principal components of demand. Short-term uncertainty will likely continue to dampen the Kenai economy, which benefits from anglers and sightseeing tourism. Travel restrictions, and decreasing demand linked to the COVID-19 virus are slowly recovering from 2021 with cautious optimism for continued recovery in 2022. After analysis, we determined that industrial and commercial property values have been relatively stable over the past decade, but have declined from the 1980s peak. Conclusion 126 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 15 Chapter 3: Neighborhood Description and Analysis The appraised land is located just south of the Kenai Municipal Airport and southwest of the Kenai Business District. This chapter will focus on the supply and demand factors of these neighborhoods, which affect the valuation process. Kenai Neighborhood Map The subject neighborhood is bound by the Kenai Airport to the north, the Kenai Spur Highway to the south and east, and the Kenai Business District to the northeast. The Kenai Business District is the commercial core of Kenai. Development includes many types of commercial and industrial uses including big box retailers, strip and enclosed malls, restaurants, convenience stores, small businesses, and airport-related businesses. The Kenai Airport was recently remodeled modernizing the terminal building. Lowes, which was constructed in 2008, closed in 2011. After eight years of vacancy, the property sold to U-Haul in 2019. This City-owned, public-use airport contains a 7,855-foot asphalt paved runway, as well as an additional gravel runway and seaplane basin. Currently, scheduled flight service to Anchorage is available on both Ravn Alaska and Grant Aviation. Development in the immediate neighborhood consists of both aviation and non-aviation related uses.

The site description and analysis is based on our property inspection and review of plat 83-126, aerial, Borough and other mapping. The plat map below and aerial mapping on the following pages assist in the description and analysis of the parcel that follows. Plat 83-126 Location: North side of Kenai Spur Highway between Coral Street and Main Street Loop Road, Kenai, Alaska Physical address: 11536 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai, Alaska Shape and Land Area: Nearly-rectangular shaped lot containing 25,144 square feet or 0.58± acre Access: Access via paved ingress/egress from Kenai Spur Highway on southern boundary and Cohoe Avenue, a gravel road on northern boundary Overview Site Description N Subject Kenai Spur Highway Cohoe Avenue Main Street Coral Street 129 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 18 Zoning: Central Mixed-Use District (CMU) Frontage and Exposure: 120± feet of Kenai Spur Highway frontage and 105± feet of Cohoe Avenue frontage Easements and Restrictions: 20-foot utility easement along north boundary Public Utilities: All public utilities available Topography: Partially cleared with some spruce and birch trees, lot is nearly level and at grade with surrounding streets and properties.

Our value conclusion assumes that the property is free of environmental and hazardous contaminants. Site Utility: The subject site’s positive attributes include good location, size, and access near the Kenai Airport and Downtown Kenai. Overall, physical character makes the site well suited for commercial development. 131 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 20 Chapter 5: Highest and Best Use Analysis Highest and best use is a market-driven concept rather than a subjective conclusion based on the experience of the appraiser or a property owner’s wishes. Economic incentive is the motivation that has a market-effect on the productivity or profitability of the land. The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal (Seventh Edition) defines highest and best use as follows. The reasonably probably use of a 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. A property’s highest and best use as vacant may differ from that as improved. It is the appraiser’s responsibility to analyze each scenario; then identify, explain, and justify the conclusion of each type of use. Per client instructions, the subject property is analyzed as though vacant. Determination of a property’s most profitable use requires analyzing all feasible alternatives. The criteria for testing potential uses as though vacant are legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. The following highest and best use analysis is the foundation of the appraisal process for the subject properties. Physical Possibility: The appraised parcel contains 25,144 square feet or 0.58± acre fronting the Kenai Spur Highway. Highway frontage measures 110± feet, which enhances access, exposure, and development potential. Demand along the Kenai Spur Highway commercial corridor is high when compared to alternative interior commercial locations. Highway frontage and linkage to alternative commercial locations in Kenai are positive characteristics. Legal Permissibility: Although the appraised property is within the City of Kenai, zoning regulations do not generally apply to current ownership because the property remains in restricted status. The subject parcel is zoned Central Mixed Use (CMU) which encourages commercial-type development in a centrally located area in the City of Kenai, primarily for shopping, personal and professional services, entertainment services, entertainment establishments and restaurants and related businesses. The CMU district is also intended to accommodate a mixture of residential and commercial uses, and designed in a manner that encourages pedestrian movement throughout the area. Although certain industrial use are allowed., most within the CMU zone require a conditional use permit to ensure compatibility with Overview Highest and Best Use Analysis As If Vacant 132 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 21 surrounding land uses. We are not aware of any recorded plat restrictions that may affect development potential of the subject property. Financial Feasibility: Physically possible uses permitted are all financially viable. Financially feasible commercial uses include restaurants (both dining and fast food), hotel/motel, retail, and office use. Other commercial uses are possible, which may offer greater risk and lack economic feasibility. In conclusion, the Commercial neighborhood’s location, existing land use trends, and physical characteristics all support commercial development, which we consider to by the highest and best use. The subject’s physical characteristics, surrounding land use, CMU zoning, location, access, etc., encourage commercial development. Based on these factors, the highest and best use, as vacant, is for commercial development. Highest and Best Use: Commercial Highest and Best Use As Though Vacant 133 22-3697 – Lot 4, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska MacSwain Associates LLC 22 Chapter 6: Land Valuation - Sales Comparison Approach The sales comparison approach is a systematic procedure of estimating the subject’s market value by comparing it directly to property sales afforded similar physical and economic character. The approach is founded on the principle of substitution, theorizing value is a function of a knowledgeable investor’s (buyer) intent to pay no more for a specific property than the cost of acquiring an alternative property offering similar utility (economic satisfaction). The sales comparison approach is the best approach for valuing vacant land. Our sales search focused on vacant land with similar physical and economic character to the subject, located in the immediate neighborhood. In order to facilitate a comparative analysis, we expanded our search to include commercial and light industrial properties in other Kenai neighborhoods. These criteria produced five sales that transpired in from 2016 to 2022. The primary land sales we relied upon are listed in the table below. Additional details of the comparables are retained on file.
