INTRODUCTION Over the past several years, the area between north of Interstate Highway (I.H). 635 and Farm-to-Market (F.M.) 544 has experienced growth in both population and traffic. In particular, the completion of the Dallas North Tollway through Dallas and northward into the City of Plano has generated increased vehicular traffic and land development. Not only has the north-south traffic increased, but east-west movements have been increasing also. Local city and county agencies have been interested in providing another east-west route to relieve traffic congestion on other arterials between Belt Line Road and the Dallas County Line. Keller Springs Road is a major east-west traffic artery serving the City of Dallas, the Town of Addison, and the developing urban area of northern Dallas County. Keller Springs Road begins at Campbell Road in the City of Dallas about four tenths of a mile southeasterly from the intersection of Campbell Road and Preston Road. From this intersection, it generally traverses in a southwesterly direction and passes under Preston Road. At this point, it turns west with its western terminus at Addison Road. Keller Springs Road is interrupted by the Addison Airport, and is discontinuous. West of the airport, Keller Springs Road continues from its intersection at Midway Road through the City of Carrollton to Old Denton Road. At this point, it becomes Whitlock Lane to Interstate Highway (I.H.) 35E. From I.H. 35E, it continues west as Sandy Lake Road through Carrollton and Coppell and terminates at Coppell Road. This roadway covers a length of about eleven and one-half miles and varies from four traffic lanes to two traffic lanes along the route. In order to provide the continuation of Keller Springs Road through the airport property, tunneling is considered the only alternative for maintaining the normal operations of the airport during construction. With the construction of the tunnel being accomplished below ground, flight operations on the single runway, aircraft circulation on the taxiways and service facilities will not be impaired. In June 1991, an "Initial Engineering Assessment" was published which investigated the feasibility of constructing a tunnel across the airport property under the runway and taxiways. It was concluded in this report that, based on traffic projections, a two-lane tunnel would provide adequate capacity for many years into the future. 1 The project was discussed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following the initial assessment. The FAA, in a letter dated July 2, 1991, indicated they had no objection to the construction of the tunnel under the airport. However, as the project develops, the FAA has requested the opportunity to review and comment on the details of the construction with relationship to the operations at Addison Airport. The purpose of this report is to present the location, preliminary engineering design features, construction cost estimates, and estimates ofoperation and maintenance expenses for the construction of a two-lane tunnel. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The Addison Airport is located in the center ofthe Town of Addison and just north of the City of Dallas, as shown in Figure 1. The airport is bounded on the south by the St. Louis-Southwestern Railroad tracks, Dooley Road on the west, Sojourn Drive on the north and Addison Road on the east. The topography is open, rolling plain with a maximum elevation elevation differential of 15 feet. The airport facilities include the 7,000-foot long runway, several taxiways and numerous hangar buildings. Airport usage is general aviation and corporate type aircraft. Design parameters were established to provide the most economical facility that would serve the public demand. The following basic criteria were used in the engineering study: /'Design Speed "\ 35 MPH Minimum Horizontal Curve 500 Feet Maximum Grade 6 Percent Runway Clearances " 150 Feet from ct Runway 50 Feet from ct Taxiways ./Other design features, such as right-of-way requirements, lane widths, etc., are consistent with thoroughfare design standards in the Town of Addison. It is planned that the approach roadways on either end of the tunnel will be two 12-foot wide lanes to serve two-way traffic. The pavement will be eight-inch thick reinforced Portland cement concrete with 6-inch high curbs. Typical roadway sections approaching the tunnel are shown in Figure 2. At the terminals at Midway Road and Addison Road, the roadways will be widened to match the existing width of Keller Springs Road. The right-of-way width will be 100 feet except at the toll plaza. The general alignment and profile grade are shown in Figure 3. 2 + ADDISON AIRPORT LH. 30 DALLAS LOCATION MAp ___LIN/;. _______ _ KELLER SPRIN PROPOSED JOB SITE ROAD SITE PLAN I HNTB HOWARD NEEDLES TAMMEN & BERGENDOFF FIGURE 1 ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS PLANNERS 3 L I '"" 10' 􀀪􀀲􀀮􀀴􀁾􀀠 16' , 50' I I 􀁾􀀧􀀠 J. 12;' 􀁾􀀠􀁐􀁒􀁏􀁊􀁅􀁃􀁔􀁾􀀠 􀁾􀁅􀁘􀁉􀁓􀁔􀁉􀁎􀁇􀀠GROUND I . rF'r1 --􀁾R.O.W.

Sauer Company, the special tunnel consultants. The tunnel will have arched sidewalls and top with a flat bottom to accommodate the two-lane roadway. A typical section of the two-lane tunnel is shown on Figure 4. In order to retain access to the T-hangars east of the runway and to restore parking areas, a construction method known as the Doorframe Slab Method will be used. This method consists of open cut for a length along the tunnel to a point where the concrete doorframe slab ties into a depth of rock to a depth of approximately two feet. When necessary to anchor the doorframe into rock, steel beams or reinforcing bars are driven into the rock at appropriate intervals to reinforce the sidewalls. The open cut is filled with concrete to a predetermined depth which forms the crown shape of the tunnel and then is backfilled with earth cover. This is shown in typical section on Figure 5. The taxiways and parking areas can then be restored to existing conditions in a short period of time. Under the restored surface over the doorframe slab, the bulk of the tunnel construction can be completed underground. With a total overburden exceeding 16 feet, and a minimum unweathered rock depth of two feet, the mined portion of the tunnel can be driven without the protective slab cover in the crown. The doorframe slab will be 250 feet in length at the west end and 100 feet long in the east. The length of mined tunnel is proposed to be 1,300 feet for a total tunnel length of 1,650 feet between portals. Figure 2 shows these features and the project profile. Beyond the tunnel portals, the project will be constructed in open cut with retaining walls on each side of the roadway. Near the west portal, Dooley Road will be relocated across the tunnel to maintain access to the properties north of Keller Springs Road. The project length from the centerline ofMidway Road to the centerline of Addison Road is 3,660 feet or about 0.7 of a mile. The two-lane tunnel between the east and west portals is 1,650 feet in length. Approach roadways on either side of the tunnel total 2,010 feet. III. GEOLOGY The proposed tunnel project lies within the Black Prairie portion ofthe Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic province. This area is characterized as open rolling plain which. dips slightly, but gradually, to the southeast. The thin veneer of residual clay soils overlying this area was derived from the weathering of the underlying Upper Cretaceous Age Austin Chalk Formation. The Austin Chalk Formation, the uppermost bedrock unit in the area, can be found outcropping at the surface and in shallow drainage channels. The Austin Chalk consists of alternating beds of massive chalk, shaley limestone, and marks which have a blue color when saturated with underground water. 6 ..,J ----T-------------} TUNNEL l I' r r $'-1\ 1/16" -3'-2 $jr --" REGULAR CROSS SECTION -TUNNEL SCALE: q I' l' J' 0' Y 1 1 '> I FIGURE 4 􀀺􀁾􀀺􀀺􀀺􀁵􀁾􀁾􀀺..:;..WPl'. 􀁾􀀠 􀀮􀁾􀀢􀁟􀀢􀀮􀀬􀀧... mll".U;W"ml 􀁾􀀠 􀁋􀁅􀁬􀁬􀁾􀁒􀀠SPRINGS UNDERPASS PRELIMINARY DESIGN REGULAR CROSS SECTION· TUNNEL w4 ...."

The data obtained from these borings and the laboratory tests will be used to develop the parameters for the tunnel design. A separate report, prepared by Southwestern Laboratories, details the field and laboratory data obtained from the three additional borings. IV. TOLL COLLECTION A barrier system for the collection oftolls, similar to the Dallas North Tollway, is planned with the toll plaza located on the western approach roadway just east of Midway Road. Equipment has been assumed to be similar to that used on the Tollway. The plaza will be wide enough to accommodate six toll collection lanes, three in each direction. All lanes will be equipped with automatic coin machines and two lanes will have the flexibility of being operated automatically or being attended. To take advantage of the new technology in toll collection, it is assumed that all lanes will contain the Automatic Vehicle Identification (A VI) equipment to help increase traffic flow through the toll plaza. The toll collection machines will be monitored by use of an electronic mini-computer system to ensure a highly accurate to II audit. The two automatic lanes will be designed to process two-axle vehicles only. V. OPERA TION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE Estimates of the costs for operating and maintaining the tunnel project have been prepared and are based on experience gained by the Texas Turnpike Authority (TTA) through its years of operating the Dallas North Tollway and other projects. Costs of administration, maintenance, toll collection, and other costs associated with the project are included in the estimates. The cost oftraffic patrol has not been included due to the length of the project and the availability of patrols from the Dallas North Tollway. Traffic patrol and policing services might also be provided' by the Town of Addison at no cost to the project These estimates are consistent with the level of service desired by the TT A for its patrons. The cost of operation and maintenance for the first full year ofoperation is estimated to be $450,000. A summary of the first full year of operation for the project is shown in Table I. 9 TABLE I ESTIMA TE OF FIRST YEAR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE 1996 Administration $ 36,000 Accounting, Data Processing and Insurance 19,800 Toll Collection 374,400 Engineering and Maintenance 9,900 Utilities 9,900 TOTAL $450,000 Table II lists the estimated annual expenses for operation and maintenance for a 14-year period. From the 14th year onward, it is assumed that these expenses will remain level for the duration of the bond term.

PROJECT COST ESTIMATES Based on the preliminary designs developed for this report, quantities were estimated for all major construction items. These quantities include grading, drainage, paving, bridges, retaining walls, and major items associated with tunnel construction. Unit prices for these estimates were determined from a review of cost trends for construction in the Dallas area. Unit prices have been adjusted to reflect inflation ofcosts anticipated to occur between the printing of this report and the midpoint of construction. A detailed tabulation of our opinion of estimated cost ofthe project is shown in Table ill. For convenience, the cost of underground tunnel construction is shown separately from other major items of construction. Unforeseen escalation of prices or wages, shortages of labor or materials, and changes in economic conditions are factors which affect construction costs and, therefore, could materially escalate or reduce the estimated project costs. However, the estimated project costs represent our judgment as professionals familiar with the construction industry. We cannot and do not guarantee that the actual project costs will not vary from these estimates. VII. RIGHT-OF-WAY The project will require a right-of-way width of 100 feet, except in the vicinity of the barrier toll plaza. This width will be adequate for the possible construction of another tunnel in the future. The majority of the required right-of-way is owned by Addison Airport ofTexas, Inc. (AATI). AATI manages the airport property and gains its revenues either from management fees or a square foot cost of actual ground rent on the east side of the airport. The required right-of-way on the west side ofthe airport is owned by the Town of Addison. One office building on the west side will lose access to Keller Springs Road since the project roadway is below existing grade at this location. An independent real estate appraiser performed an analysis for the estimated right-of-way cost. The analysis shows that seven leaseholds on the airport on the east side of the airport will be affected, and that the one property on the west side would have restricted access to Keller Springs Road. It is estimated that the cost will be approximately $3,000,000, based on the final quarter 1991 North Dallas Real Property market.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS The Addison Airport Tunnel is a new construction facility and, therefore, an important aspect of this engineering study is the environmental review. A preliminary environmental assessment has been performed and is described below. The preliminary assessment clearly indicates that there are no significant environmental effects of the proposed tunnel project. The proposed project will involve a two-lane tunnel under Addison Airport to connect Keller Springs Road from Addison Road to Midway Road with a six-lane barrier toll plaza located just east of Midway Road. The length of the proposed project is 3,660 feet or approximately 0.7 miles. Approximately seven acres of new right-of-way will be required. The right-of-way width will be 100 feet except at the toll plaza. The tunnel will be 1,650 feet long between the east and west portals. Beyond the portals, the project will be constructed below existing ground with the roadway between retaining walls for a combined length of 1,615 feet. The at-grade portion of the roadways will be 395 feet to match the existing roadways at Midway Road and Addison Road. The estimated probable cost for the project, including right-of-way acquisition, is $21,814,000.00. Currently, Belt Line Road is the only continuous east-west thoroughfare between Preston Road (S.H. 289) and I.H. 35E in the six-mile wide corridor from I.H. 635 to the northern Dallas County Line. Keller Springs Road, including the proposed tunnel, would be another continuous thoroughfare through the Town of Addison and the rest of northern Dallas County. Traffic projections have been developed by the Texas Turnpike Authority'S traffic engineers for the 2010 design year using both a $1.00 toll and a $0.75 toll. For the $1.00 toll scenario, 2010 average daily traffic is projected to be 15,700 vehicles. The $0.75 toll scenario resulted in an average daily traffic projection of 19,800 vehicles. The only available alternative to the proposed project is the "no-build" alternative. Keller Springs Road would remain discontinuous due to the presence of Addison Airport. This assumes that the possible future extension of Arapaho Road from Spectrum Drive to Marsh Lane will not be constructed for several years. The Town of Addison and northern Dallas County have been one of the region's fastest growing suburban areas in the 1980s. Growth is expected to remain strong in the future. Keller Springs Road, on either side of Addison Airport, has many acres of developable land. Based on a field inspection of the area, there also appears to be a high number of vacancies in commercial buildings. It is quite likely that the development problems or the lack of development has been caused, at least in part, by the access problems resulting from the discontinuity of Keller Springs Road. ., 13 Social and Economic Impacts No adverse impacts on health, public utilities, police and fire protection, or other municipal services are anticipated. The proposed tunnel should result in a benefit to the area by increasing mobility for motorists in the area and allowing shorter response times by emergency vehicles. The proposed tunnel will not disrupt any neighborhoods or proposed developments. On the contrary, the tunnel will serve as a unifying link to the areas now separated by Addison Airport. The Addison Airport Tunnel would result in positive overall social and economic impacts on the area. Continuing Keller Springs Road through the airport will allow developments on either side to more easily attract new customers from the opposite side. Improved mobility will allow building owners to attract more tenants and encourage new development on the vacant land in the area. The required right-of-way will remove some properties from the tax rolls; however, the improved mobility will lead to a long-term growth in the area's tax base. The $21,814,000.00 required to construct the tunnel will, at least in part, be paid to contractors, using local labor forces, thus further benefiting the area. The project will require seven areas of new right-of-way. The majority ofthis right-of-way will come from the east end of the project, from land currently owned by Addison Airport of Texas, Inc. (AATI). The required right-of-way on the west side of the airport is owned by the Town of Addison. One commercial building to the west of the airport will lose access to Keller Springs Road due to the below grade alignment at this point. However, access will continue to this development from Midway Road. ' . The Addison Airport Tunnel is being built in a highly commercial area consisting ofairport property and Town of Addison property in a commercial area. This fact is very important when studying environmental impacts because of the lack of natural environment that can be impacted. Aesthetically speaking, the proposed project would fit fit harmoniously with the commercial nature of the area. There are no natural areas in the project area so there is no need for concern involving conservation or preservation. All efforts will be made to minimize soil erosion and any other undesired effects of construction. After construction, runoff will flow into drainage channels and the area's existing storm water sewer system. There are no prime and unique farmlands in the project area. This project will have no significant adverse effect on air quality. In fact, the local area should benefit from slightly improved air quality. Vehicles using the proposed project will, to a great extent, be diverted from Belt Line Road and Sojourn Road. The decreased traffic on these two roads, and the resulting decreased congestion, can only help to improve 14 the air quality in the area. In terms of the immediate vicinity of the project, there are no sensitive receivers such as residences, schools, or hospitals. The tunnel ventilation will ensure maximum dispersion of pollutants. The location of the project, on airport property and extending only a short distance beyond it, allows for a simplified noise impact analysis. It is clear that no noise sensitive development would occur in the vicinity of an airport. It is also important to note that the project is located almost entirely below grade in either the tunnel or depressed sections. The retaining walls in the depressed section will mitigate any traffic noise and the tunnel section should have virtually no impact on the noise level in the area. Based on these observations, it is appropriate to conclude that the proposed project will not have any significant noise impacts. Based on the preliminary review of the environmental impacts of the Addison Airport Tunnel, it can be concluded that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment The commercial nature of the area and the short length of the project are two factors which minimize the possibility of any environmental impacts. A full environmental assessment, normally completed for new construction, should not be required for this project. However, should a more formal assessment be required, it is believed that finding of no significant environmental impacts would be found. 15 jl j !

Barton-Aschman Report III. Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff Report I :.--1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Executive Summary presents a synopsis of the preliminary feasibility studies for the Keller Springs Underpass prepared for the Town of Addison by Ginn, Inc., in association with Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. and Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff. The studies investigated future traffic volumes, design schemes and associates preliminary costs to determine if the Keller Springs Underpass warranted further study. A traffic study was conducted to determine the volume of traffic which would use the proposed Keller Springs Underpass upon build-out of Addison, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Plano, and the North Dallas area. The Cities of Dallas and Carrollton plan for Keller Springs Road to be a major thoroughfare consisting of six-lane divided roadway. According to the projected traffic volumes along Keller Springs, the underpass needs to carry 40,000 vehicles per day. This volume of traffic requires a six-lane divided roadway. Consequently, without the underpass to provide continuity to the North Dallas area thoroughfare plan, east/west roads such as Trinity Mills and Belt Line Road will have to carry the additional east/west traffic. The second part of study investigated various alignments for the Keller Springs Underpass and developed preliminary project costs for the alignment. These alignments are 1 : I . ) I ' I I I E ( Figure 2 2 -! presented in Figure 2. Items such as airport runway clearance, access to adjacent properties, and tunnel construction were considered in evaluating the various alternatives. Based on these items, Alignment A was recommended for the underpass. Upon establishment of an alignment, several tunnel methods were evaluated. The tunnel methods considered for traversing the airport were cut-and-cover, shallow tunneling, and deep tunneling. A cut-and-cover method of construction would suspend airport operations for extended periods of time. Therefore, this method was not given further consideration. A shallow tunnel with approximately 10 feet of cover has less approach roadway and retaining walls. However, this asset is offset by the added structural costs associated with a shallow tunnel system. The deep tunnel method with approximately 30 feet of cover would provide natural structural support and thus decrease the cost of tunnel construction. The deep tunnel approach allows for the construction of 2 -two lane tunnels with the possibility of 2 -three lane tunnels. The shallow tunnel would only allow for tunnels to be consttucted in multiples of two lanes. Figures 4 and 5 present typical tunnel sections for the two-lane and three-lane roadways. Tunnel construction would require a ventilation system to exhaust CO and C02 emitted from the vehicles7 a drainage system to handle unexpected spills of water or fluids from tank trucks, rainwater and washdown water7 a lighting system 3 :-·-1 I .

These systems would be investigated further during the design phase of the project. Preliminary construction costs were prepared for the various tunneling alternatives for Alignment A. Estimates were prepared for 2 -two lane tunnels and for 2 -three lane tunnels for the deep tunnel alternative under the Addison Airport. Estimates were prepared only for 2 -two lane tunnels for the shallow tunnel alternative.

With the proposed extension of Keller Springs Road, projected traffic volmnes on Belt Line Road can be expected to be reduced by as much as 5,000 vehicles per day. Likewise, projected volumes along Trinity Mills can also be reduced. R:WJolAY SIZIIC Roadway capacity is a measure of a roadway's ability to accommodate a volume of traffic at an acceptable level of traffic operation. The wider the street, the higher the traffic volume that can be accommodated. Listed below are the maximmn traffic volmnes that can be accommodated for various sizes of roadways.

Based on the projected traffic volumes for the extension of Keller Springs Road under Addison Airport, the following conclusions can be reached. 1. Keller Springs Road needs to be extended under Addison Airport to accommodate eastjwest traffic flow that is projected to occur at total development of the Addison,INorth Dallas area. 2. Keller Springs Road needs to be constructed as a six-lane thoroughfare street. 3. The extension of Keller Springs Road under the Addison Airport will provide an additional, much needed, east;west thoroughfare and should help relieve projected traffic on Belt Line Road and Trinity Mills.

The roadway is interrupted by the Addison Airport just south of the Dallas County line. Proposed improvements to Keller Springs Road would increase its capacity by connecting adjacent segments through the airport property. Completion of Keller Springs Road through the airport would also serve to reduce congestion on parallel arterials such as Belt Line Road and Trinity Mills Road. Tunneling is considered the only alternative to enable the proposed improvement to Keller Springs Road and maintain the airport as fully operational during construction. 2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this study is to develop a recommended alignment for the extension of Keller Springs Road and to develop project costs for that alignment. It addresses items such as airport runway adjacent properties, and construction costs and specific emphasis on tunnel construction. Although a clearance, access to considerations with cut-and-cover method for traversing under the airport was considered and is addressed in this report, tunneling appears to be the only reasonable method of construction. The feasibility of any tunneling project is ultimately dependent on the cost of the project. To adequately predict such costs, an assessment must be made as to the geologic conditions which may reasonably be encountered. Geotechnical engineering assumptions lead to an appraisal of ground behavior, applicable construction alternatives, and a feasibility level cost estimate. This report identifies and isolates geologic and engineering parameters specific to the Addison, Texas area as they relate to tunnel construction. Recommendations for suitable tunnel geometries and excavation and support methods are presented along with special concerns including tunnel ventilation, drainage, lighting, and fire protection. 1 This report is organized as follows: Section 1.0 Introduction Section 2.0 Purpose and Scope Section 3.0 Project Description Section 4.0 Geologic Assumptions of Engineering Significance Section 5.0 Tunnel Excavation and Initial Support Section 6.0 Final Lining and Support Section 7.0 Special Considerations Section 8.0 Construction Estimate Section 9.0 Conclusions and Recommendations Section 10.0 References It should be emphasized that no geotechnical exploration and testing program was conducted for this feasibility study. Conditions anticipated were inferred from generally available geotechnical data including state geologic reports, project data from the nearby Dallas North Tollway extension, and a limited number of shallow borings taken at the airport site for construction of a sewer line. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Addison Airport is located as shown in Figure 1, in the center of the City of Addison and just north of the city of Dallas. The airport is bounded on the south by the St. Louis-Southwest Railroad tracks, Dooley Road on the west, Sojourn Drive on the north, and Addison Road on the east. The topography is an open, rolling plain with a maximum elevation different of approximately 15 feet. The airport facilities include the 7,000 foot 1 ong runway, several taxiways, and numerous hangar buildings. Airport facility usage is general aviation and corporate-type aircraft. Design Parameters Design parameters were established to provide the most economical facility that would still serve the traffic demand. The following basic design parameters were used in this study: Design Speed -35 mph Maximum Horizontal Curvature -500 feet Maximum Grade -6% Runway Clearances -150 feet from C runway -100 feet from C taxiway 2 . i PROPOSEO JOB SITE KELLER 􀁓􀁐􀁾􀁉􀁎􀁇􀁓􀀠 i ' BELT HNTB 􀁾􀁉􀁈􀁉􀁄􀁉􀁾􀁐􀀠 􀀧􀀪􀀭􀁾􀀦􀀭􀀭 C++ I ROA[) -3-OALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY 15 mi. 1 SCALE LOCATION MAP 1000 1 I I SC.A£.

Alternative Alignments Alternative alignments were investigated as shown in Figure 2. Each alignment was evaluated based upon its total project cost, length of tunnel section, impact on adjacent properties, and relative traffic service. The recommended alignment, (Alternate A), begins at the intersection of Midway Road and Keller Springs Road, extends easterly along Keller Springs Road under the runway and taxiway, then curves to south and easterly between FBOs along the existing taxiway. The roadway would then extend ENE to Addison Road a 1 ong an ex tens ion of existing Keller Springs Road. The total length of the project would be 3,600 feet, including an 800-foot tunnel section under the airport runway and taxiway. The alignment requires the relocation of some existing T-hangers. Access to existing facilities interrupted interrupted by the open cut section of the facility would be restored by bridging the open cut section through conventional methods. Costs for this bridging is included in the project cost summary presented later in this report. A 1"=100' plan depicting this alignment and its impact on existing streets and airport facilities accompanies this report. Alternative Alignment B, (Alt. B in Figure 2), would begin at the intersection of Midway Road and Keller Springs Road, extend easterly along Keller Springs Road under the runway and taxiway to Glen continue ENE along Glen Curtis Drive to Addison Road. Curtis Drive, then This alternative offers a slightly lower tunneling cost then Alternate A due to a more normal crossing of the runway and taxiway, and it would probably have a lesser impact on existing airport facilities. However, this alignment would require Keller Springs Road through traffic to travel on Addison Road between existing Keller Springs and Glen Curtis Roads, negatively affecting the capacity of both Keller Springs and Addison Roads. For this reason, together with the minimal cost savings over Alternate A, Alternate B is not recommended. 4 ,_I Again, in an effort to minimize tunneling costs, a third alternate (Alternate C) was developed. This alternate would begin south of the intersection of Midway Road and Keller Springs Road, extend ENE and tunnel under the taxiway and runway, and continue ENE and terminate at the intersection of Addison Road and Keller Springs Road. However, this alignment would require the acquisition of at least one business between Dooley Road and Midway Road and an FBO along the taxiway. Similarly to Alternate B but on the west side of the airport, it would offset the proposed and existing intersection of Keller Springs Road and Midway Road, negatively impacting overall traffic capacity as compared to Alternate A. For these reasons, this alternate is not recommended. Upon selection of Altern ate A as the recommended alignment, tunneling schemes were developed for two alternates differing in depth to roadway grade. The deep tunnel alternative consists of approximately 3,000 feet of roadway of which approximately 800 feet would be in tunnel, (2 tunnels, each 800 feet long), with roadway grade approximately 60 feet below the runway, and 1,100 feet of approach roadway on each side of the tunnel in retained open cut. The second alternative is a shallow tunnel with roadway grade approximately 40 feet bel ow the runway and 670 feet of approach roadway on each side of the tunnel in retained open cut (see Figure 3.) The approach roadways would be sloped at 6% grade. A cut-and-cover method of constructing that portion of the project under the runway and taxiway has been explored. However, this method of construction requires the suspension of airport operations for extended periods of time. Also, due to the substantial loading requirements of the members spanning the roadway, the cost savings when compared to tunneling are expected to be minimal, if at all. For these reasons, the cut-andcover method has been eliminated from further consideration. Generally, highway tunnels constructed within the United States have been limited to two-lane size widths. Where more traffic capacity is required, multiple two-lane tunnels are constructed. However, for this feasibility 6 I I .

J study, both two-lane and three-lane tunnel sections are developed and are presented in Figures 4 and 5. The two-lane tunnel section is applicable to both the shall ow and deep tunneling alternatives. The three-lane tunnel section is considered to be applicable only to the deep tunnel alternative for reasons related to geologic and construction considerations which are discussed later in this report. The two-lane tunnel section is wide enough to provide a clear inside opening of 32 feet, adequate for two 13-foot wide lanes of traffic, a 4-foot manway and curbs or alternately two 11-foot roadways and a 6-foot shoulder (breakdown lane) and curbs. The three-lane tunnel section provides for three 13-foot wide traffic 1 anes and two, 4-foot walkway or alternately three, 11-foot wide traffic roadways and a 6-foot and 3-foot wide breakdown lane plus curbs. Separation between adjacent tunnels is approximately 18 feet for two 2-lane tunnels and 28 feet for two 3-lane tunnels at the tunnel portals as depicted by Figure 6. Entering approachways are in conformance with the City of Addison's Standard four and sixlane design roadway sections. 4.0 GEOLOGIC PARAMETERS OF ENGINEERING SIGNIFICANCE Geology The rocks in Da 11 as County are Upper Cretaceous in age, under! ai n unconformably by Paleozoic Era strata (see Figure 7.) Around the City of Addison, the rock near the ground surface is the Austin Formation which has been described by Shuler, (1918): The Austin formation, or Austin chalk, consists of a thick series, about 500 feet, of alternating beds of chalk and shaly limestone and marls which have a blue color when saturated with underground water, but which are cream colored or glaring white upon exposure to weathering. Although the formation is termed the Austin chalk, in Dallas County only a few layers near the base are properly termed chalk. The lower division of the Austin formation is also characterized by an abundance of nodular, spherical, or cylindrical concretions of iron pyrites, "fool's gold", which on weathering gives rise to streaks of rust stain down the chalk wall. 8 ROOF SVPPORT CVKB ORAIN HNTB tcii:LWAD P 􀀭􀁾􀁡􀀠--HLXIFF«::DFF '-o· CAST-IN-PLACE COAICKETE FINAL L.IM!A/G 10' SVB-BASE KEIA/FOI<'CEP COA!CKETE BASE 4" BIWM!A/OVS SURFACE -9-􀁾􀀡􀀠APPUCAI!Jl.£ 1V I!C17{ SHALLaw' IIAIP f)€Ep 1'uAINCL. 􀁁􀁬􀀮􀀺􀁻􀁾􀀡􀁩􀀡􀁎􀁩􀁭􀀮􀁖􂂬􀀵􀀠 Figvrtz. 4 iYP/C4L 2-LAN£ IUNNEL SE'C'f'ION 1 -.......... 􀁾􀂷􀀠 te .. \1) ,. 􀁾􀀠 18' /?lAMErE!?

I The middle division of about 250 feet has fewer massive layers and is characterized by thick, and often indurated shaly layers which show remarkable lamination, many layers to the inch. In the uppermost division of the Austin formation, the proportion of shaly limestone is larger and the chalk layers are rare. The top of the rock is weathered to depths ranging from 0 to approximately 10 feet. the colors are predominantly blue and yellow. Occasionally sandy layers are found. The dip of the Austin chalk is gentle, varying from 40 to 100 feet per mile, with an average dip of 50 to 60 feet. One of the most characteristic features of the chalk as it occurs in Dallas County is the small scaled faulting. The chalk has been broken into innumerable irregular blocks by fissure planes along which most often slight movements have taken place. The faulting may be barely perceptible, or as much as 2 or 3 feet at a maximum. The faulting is normal. Horst and graben structures alternate in rapid succession. The blocks vary in size from 50 to 100 and more feet in length. The plane of faulting varies from 40° to 80 o, the 1 arger number varying from 45 o to 60 •. The strike of the fault planes is extremely variable and has no preferred orientation. Two types of jointing are found in the chalk: ordinary joint planes at right angles to the bedding planes, and particularly in the more massive beds, curved joint surfaces which look as if they were made by localized pressure on small surfaces--such surfaces as would be made by a punch in a uniform mass. Previous Geotechnical Exploration Previous geotechnical exploration programs conducted for projects near the airport site suggest a typical geologic profile for the area as detailed in Figure 8. At the surface, residual soils of inorganic to organic silts and clays are found in layers ranging from 0 to 10 feet thick underlain by a zone of highly weathered Austin chalk of thickness ranging from 0 to 10 feet. Under the weathered zone lies a more competent Austin chalk. Previous exploration programs characterize the overlying soils near the project site as residual soils which are derived from the disintegration of the rock below by the agents of weathering and erosion. These residual soils consist mostly of stiff clays, CL to CH material with some zones of MH, ML, and OH materials as defined by the Unified Classification System. Water contents range from approximately 10% to 40% with liquid 1 imits of between 20% and 85% and plasticity indices ranging from 5% to 60%. The overburden soil exhibits swelling characteristics when subjected to changes in moisture content.

The internal angle of friction 0, ranges from 10 to 18 degrees with a cohesion intercept, c, varying between 0.4 to 3.0 TSF. The engineering properties of the Austin chalk vary with the degree of weathering and the presence or absence of shaly zones within the sample. Table A presents mechanical properties of weathered, tan, shaly gray, and hard gray 1 imestone samples of the Austin formation as obtained from the exploration program for the Dallas North Tollway project. Expected Ground Behavior Tunnel Excavation The Austin chalk is a rock of relatively constant composition with relatively low strength and varied bedding conditions and should be easily excavated. "When freshly quarried the rock is soft and easily cut with a knife or saw, but on exposure to air many layers develop considerable hardness." (Shuler, 1918). Variations in the intact rock mass and its discontinuities may affect the rate and cost cost of excavation but are not expected to affect the feasibility of tunneling. Ground Stability In general, underground excavations may be affected by several conditions that 1 ead to a requirement for support or protection of the excavated surface, such as: o Stress redistribution resulting in plastic yielding, creep, or formation of fractures. o Loosening and movement along discontinuities. o Swelling of the ground due to a reaction with water producing a volume increase of the material surrounding the excavation and inducing movement into the excavation. o Surface deterioration or decomposition of the material of the excavated perimeter due to such mechanisms as air drying, slaking, or softening due to the presence of water. o Piping or washing by flowing water • 14 ' i I : i TABLE A ROCK PROPERTIES OF THE AUSTIN FORMATION WEATHERED SHALY ALL VALUES ARE IN PSI TAN GRAY LIMESTONE LIMESTONE .

Thus, tunnel excavation is not expected to result in significant stress redistribution or accompanying elastic or plastic rock movements. The rock mass consists of blocks formed by faulting or bounded by intersecting inclined joints or a combination of intersecting joints, bedding planes, and other discontinuities or planes of weakness. Loosening and movement of these rock blocks are expected to occur during excavation. The mechanisms that can cause loosening and movement include: o Blast Damage-Gases under pressure may penetrate joints and loosen rock wedges. Wedges may also be loosened by ground vibration. o Gravity -Gravity forces acting on wedges may cause separation or shearing movements along joints or bedding planes. o Strain Around the Opening -Creation of an opening in a stressed mass causes strain and defonnation in the mass. Such strains tend to concentrate along natural planes of weakness (such as joints and bedding planes) and may loosen wedges, allowing gravity to move them. o Shear Failure-Failure in shear may occur along joints oriented at a critical angle in the redistributed stress field about the opening. o Loss of Strength -The strength and tightness of the joint system may decrease because of absorption of water by, or air drying of, joint filling materials. o Hydrostatic Pressure -The hydrostatic pressure due to groundwater in joints may induce loosening and movement of wedges. Loosening and movement of rock wedges, slabs, and blocks may occur at any location in the tunnel excavations. The dip ot___joints or other planes of weakness and their strike with respect to the tunnel axis detennine the size and stability of a wedge, its position on the tunnel perimeter, and its potential for loosening or falling. If supports are not installed, rock movement and the loosening process may continue until a stable opening is fonned. Most typically, the arch may break upward, across one or several bedding planes, until a competent roof or corbelled arch is formed. For tunnels mechanically excavated, the excavation perimeter should generally require less support than that required for a drill and blast excavation of similar size. 16 Swelling of the ground is not expected if alternate wetting and drying of the rock surface can be avoided. Slaking of some areas may occur in shaly zones of rock when exposed to the air by excavation. Surface protection and scaling of the exposed rock surface will be required. Piping or washing-out of ground may occur in heavily weathered rock or in fault zones at tunnel elevation but should not occur within competent rock. Groundwater Infiltration Infiltration into the unlined tunnels may be considerable as the fractured and broken nature of the rock mass and observed high porosity would indicate. Further investigation is needed to quantify the infiltration. For the concrete lined tunnel sections, water infiltration is not considered a major problem. The use of a permanent, impermeable membrane may be considered to minimize nuisance drips and seeps within the tunneled roadway. 5.0 TUNNEL EXCAVATION AND INITIAL SUPPORT Excavation Alternatives The Keller Springs Road tunnel may be excavated using either drill and blast techniques or mechanically by means of a roadheader type of machine. The approaches to the tunnel may be excavated using conventional surficial earthmoving techniques near the ground surface and drill and blast or a roadheader type machine at depth. Final determination of the method or methods to be used should properly 1 ie with the contractor. The short length of tunnel generally prohibits the use of a roadheader or similar equipment purchased exclusively for this job; however, appropriately sized existing machines could be used. Drill and blast tunnels may require additional support because of weakening and fracturing induced by blasting. Concrete quantities may also increase due to overbreak. The required size and shape of the tunnels generally dictate that the tunnels, whether constructed using drill and blast or mechanical means, be constructed with a top heading and bench excavation sequence. Such an excavation sequence allows the support and stabilization of the rock arch before the removal of the lower tunnel sections in a quarry-type removal operation. In areas of faulted or weathered rock, in which at least some 17 of the tunnel length should be expected, the heading and bench method is adaptable to conditions as they are exposed allowing variation in length of round, size of opening, and support technique. Normally, the tunnel top heading would be excavated and supported from one end (portal) to the other followed by the benching down to invert. This sequence of excavation is directly applicable to the deep tunnel alternative, located below weathered rock zones, but requires some modification for use in the construction of the shallow tunnel alternative. Because the shallow excavation alternative is sited within mixed face zones of soil, weathered rock and good quality rock, excavation must be performed in more stages of smaller size than would be required in tunne 1 s constructed in better ground conditions. A typical excavation sequence for the shallow tunnel alternative is shown in Figure 9. Following the excavation the final cast-in-place 1 ining would be placed; ceiling panels, wall tiles, and the required utilities and finished roadway would then be installed. Initial Support and Surface Protection The initial support systems used must be adaptable and capable of supporting the range of loads anticipated. The following alternative initial support systems may be used: o Structural steel supports o Rock reinforcement -Rock bolts (tensioned, fully grouted, or -Rock anchors or dowels (untensioned, encapsulated) o Shotcrete encapsulated) fully grouted, or Any of these support systems or combinations of them may be used within the 1 imitations of compatibility with the ground behavior encountered. The choice and design of the initial support system for all excavations should be made by the contractor and should be compatible with the final support and lining requirements. To minimize loosening loads and degradation of the rock mass around the excavation, the initial support system should be installed closely behind the newly exposed working face.

The number and 1 ocat ion of 1 oosened wedges will vary with discontinuity and bedding patterns and the other factors described above. Wedge loosening may be generally less frequent in small openings and in openings excavated by mechanical means. Close-spaced joints, faults, shear zones, and weathered rock may affect initial support requirements. Minimizing ground control problems may be accomplished by an extensive program of pre-grouting the tunnel interval from the ground surface prior to construction. Such a program is considered to be essential to the success of the shallow tunnel alternative because of the extensive weathered rock zone known to exist within Dallas County. Based upon the anticipated geologic conditions, the construction cost estimate of Section 8.0 assumes the use of structural steel rib support for the tunnel excavations of both shallow and deep tunnel alternatives. These ribs would be cast integrally within the concrete final lining forming the tunnel final support. While both shotcrete and rock reinforcement either singularly or in combination generally appear more economical than using steel ribs, they require greater technical proficiency and skilled workmanship to install and are not easily adapted to ground conditions which may be exposed if weathered or faulted zones of major extent reach tunnel 1 eve 1 • Groundwater Control Groundwater inflows will be encountered during tunnel construction and the contractor should have a plan to deal with inflows that will affect construction operations. Most of the 1 arge groundwater inflows are expected to be in the form of flows from rock discontinuities which must be controlled in the completed tunnel. Infiltration should be controlled by grouting as the excavation progresses to prevent loss of ground from piping or washing by water and the development of waterways outside the tunnel. 20 6.0 FINAL SUPPORT AND LINING At some time following the erection of the initial support system consisting of rock reinforcement and/or shotcrete or structural steel ribs, a final 1 ining will be erected within the tunnel opening similar to that shown in Figures 4 and 5. The final lining is designed to withstand all loads that may be imposed during the tunnel's service life. The beneficial effects of any initial support system are generally neglected in the design of the final lining; however, structural steel ribs used as initial support may be included as a composite design for tunnel final support. The loading considered in the design of the final lining are: 1. Ground Loading Due to the shallow cover present at the airport site and the weathered rock profile, the tunnel should be designed to sustain a uniform ground 1 oad of full overburden of approximately 30 feet of ground measured to tunnel crown for the deep tunnel alternative and 10 feet of ground plus impact loadings for the shallow tunnel alternative. 2. External Hydrostatic Pressure -Tunnels should be designed to sustain external hydrostatic pressures. 7.0 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Tunnel Ventilation Ventilation of roadway tunnels is normally provided to ensure dilution of exhaust fumes to acceptab 1 e concentrations. At present, for gasoline powered engines, the dominant constituents for which dilution is required are CO and co 2 • quately diluted, Provided these constituents of the exhaust gases are adethere will be no harmful effects from other substances such as so 2 and lead. Determination of ventilation air volumes for design purposes, the 1 ength, i ncl i nation of the roadway, the number of 1 anes, vehicle capacity, and traffic composition are taken into account. The tunnel user will normally be exposed to the atmosphere of the tunnel for a period of only one minute for which a maximum level of 125 ppm CO for a normally congested urban expressway is considered acceptable. The proposed tunnel lengths are generally within the range at which artificial ventilation should be considered, especially since traffic flow within these tunnels may be subject to congestion during peak flow periods. 21 This traffic flow will be controlled by the traffic signal timing at the nearby intersection of Keller Springs Road and Addison Road on the east and Midway Road on the west. While detailed analysis may, during final design, conclude that only exhaust ventilation will be required, provision is made in this study for a semi-transverse ventilation system for both shallow and deep tunnel alternatives. In this system, air is delivered along the entire length of the tunnel at a uniform rate and the noxious fumes and smoke emitted are diluted and removed via the portals. The size of the supply air duct is a function of air flow requirements, allowable air duct velocities and the tunnel internal geometry. Generally, air flows are maintained to a maximum air duct speed less than 5,000 feet per minute for optimal operation. Providing for semi-transverse ventilation ensures that the tunnel size is large enough to provide the required ducting above the traveled roadway. If an automatically activated exhaust only system system or a longitudinal type system is later determined the most efficacious, sufficient airway and headroom capacity is provided without enlargement of the tunnel excavation requiring a simpler and less costly mechanical system.

Approaches normally uncongested except at peak periods. Heavy truck traffic less than 150/lane-hour.

These self-contained systems monitor concentration in air of CO at a number of remote sample points with up to three levels of alarm indication and ventilation control. These systems are now fabricated in modular construction and solid state circuitry to enhance reliability and simplify maintenance. Tunnel Drainage Within the tunnels, major concerns for drainage are: 1. handling the unexpected spills of water or fluids from tank trucks or inflows of water through the tunnel walls, 2. handling of rainwater intercepted at portals and runoff from traveling vehicles, and 3. handling of washdown water. Trench drains may be provided at tunnel portals to intercept water from approach roadways. Each trench drain at tunnel portals should be equipped with individual sumps to prevent the introduction into the tunneled sections of flammable or hazardous materials spilled near portals. At tunnel low points, approximately mid-length, a common sump built into a cross passage between tunneled roadways may be constructed. Here a trenchtype drain may collect runoff or fluids spilled inside the tunnels. The approach roadway and portal trench drains are generally handled by a single pump station and conveyed to local storm drainage systems. The pump 23 station at the tunnel midpoint may be packaged units with outfall conveyance outside the tunnel by a drainage force main constructed within the tunnel walls. Tunnel Lighting The amount and type of tunnel lighting depend on the tunnel geometry, the materials comprising the inside finished surface, and the size of the excavation. The lighting provided should be adequate to provide time and brightness for the eyes of drivers entering the tunnels to adapt to the change of lighting intensity, from a working daylight (8,000 footcandles (fc)) to approximately 5-10 fc, the level maintained for general tunnel artificial lighting. To minimize the length of transition zones from the exterior brightness to interior levels of brightness requires transition, generally taken at such levels so no reduction of level of brightness exceeds a ratio of 10:1 for brightness of adjacent zones of tunnel • To eliminate threshold lighting at portals and intermediate brightness transition required, sunscreens should be used. These sunscreens are interposed between the open depressed roadway and tunnel portals. The sunscreen cut the brightness level from the 8,000 fc to 800 fc followed by a threshold zone requiring 80 fc and interior tunnel zone at 8 fc, with no transition zone required. Interior tunnel lighting may be provided by fluorescent lamps. (Two fluorescent lamps in opposite corners of the tunnels will yield sufficient levels of average interior 1lltm1ination of the running tunnel section.) Where lighting requirements require larger intensity, such as the transition zone at portals, combinations of fluorescent lamps and the more efficient low pressure sodium lamps may be used. Wall and Ceiling Treatment The interior of a vehicular tunnel is a harsh environment. The lining must be capable of withstanding the punishment of road grime, exhaust fumes, 24 hose cleaning, as well as impact from vehicles, and in emergencies, the temperatures from fire. Such 1 inings must not be capable of sustaining combustion nor give off toxic or hazardous combustion by-products. Structural glazed facing tile appears to be the one element which best fulfills these requirements for tunnel sidewalls and has been successfully used in other tunnels of similar type throughout the United States. Mineral wool sprayed to a depth of approximately one inch has been used for a ceiling coating. Mineral wool, besides providing 1 ightweight fireproof material has an excellent noise reduction coefficient. Fire Fighting No special fire prevention and protection methods are proposed for the tunnels. Fire hose connections will be made via Siamese connection located every 200 feet along the tunnels. Siamese connections should be 1 ocated at each tunnel portal. This will allow fire fighters to gain access from either end of the tunnels and connect their hoses to standpipes without having to 1 ay ay 1 i nes a 1 ong the entire 1 ength of tunnels. The stand pi pes should be dry until needed. Fire detectors may be deployed within the tunnel to detect heat generated by fire. These alarms may be directly wired to the central alarm station for immediate fire department response. Tunnel ventilation systems should be reversible and capable of exhausting fumes and smoke from the tunnels. In such cases, air will enter tunnel portals and be exhausted from the ventilation system ensuring dilution of smoke and a respirable environment. 8.0 CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND ESTIMATES Feasibility level construction estimates were made for comparison of alternatives and are given in Tables B and C. Estimates were prepared for two 2-lane tunnels and for two 3-lane tunnels for the deep tunnel alternative under the Addison City Airport.

The cost for the shallow two, 2-lane option is estimated to be $30.0 million. The estimates are based upon: 1. Prevailing prices as of July, 1985. 2. Tunnels are excavated by drill and blast methods. 3. The excavation sequence shown in Figure 9 is used for the shallow tunnel alternative. 4. Structural steel ribs are used for tunnel initial support. 5. Tunnel final lining and geometry are as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6. 6. Tunnel plan and profiles are as shown in Figure 3. 7. Open cut roadway approach sections are included. 8. Costs do not include right-of-way acquisition costs. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon a review of the subsurface conditions applicable construction techniques and support methods, it is generally concluded: Tunneling 1. Tunneling is a feasible construction technique. 2. Subsurface conditions are generally similar throughout the study area. 3. (a) The deep tunnel alternative will be constructed within the Austin chalk with approximately 30 feet of cover. (b) The shallow tunnel alternative will be constructed in soils or weathered rock with approximately 10 feet of cover. 4. Tunnels will be constructed using conventional drill and blast techniques although a roadheader-type excavation is feasible. 5. In weathered rock and soils, multiple small drifts are required to allow safe tunneling. 6. Applicable alternative initial support systems are: (a) Structural steel ribs (b) Rock reinforcement and shotcrete 7. Final lining will consist of reinforced cast-in-place concrete. 8, Tunnels will be provided with semi-transverse ventilation systems. 27 . I 9. Tunnels will be provided with lighting systems to obtain a minimum of 5 to 10 footcandles illumination. 10. Tunnels will be provided with a drainage system to collect portal inflow and internal collected water. Reconvnendations 1. Unless traffic flow predictions justify otherwise, the 2-lane alternative appears significantly less costly. 2. While the depth of approach roadway open cut should be minimized to reduce the cost of approach roadway the increased cost of shallow tunneling generally negates such savings. 3. The possibility of increased surface subsidence and unpredictable catastrophic losses of ground increase with shallow tunneling in weathered rock and soil generally dictating deeper tunneling as the preferred alternative. 4. An open cut alternative with cut-and-cover (decked) portion at within the runway/taxiway area would not appear feasible. Construction of such sections would greatly impact airport operations and construction cost savings are not apparent. 5. If further studies indicate feasibility, a geotechnical investigation should be undertaken within the study area to confirm the cover and rock quality assumptions made herein. 10.0 REFERENCES American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Application Handbook, 1982, Chapter 13.

The property is described in greater detail in subsequent sections of this report. OWNERSHIP HISTORY According to county tax records, title to the subject property is in the name of Billy J. Mullins. However, no title search has been made by the appraisers and no warranty is implied. Tax records indicate that the current owner acquired one-half of the site in 1986 and that other half of the site in 1990. There has not been an arm's length transaction in the last three years. However, we are not experts in such matters, and only a complete title search by a qualified title attorney or title insurance company can determine the prior transfers of title to the property. According to the client's representative, the site is currently under contract. However, this broker is unaware of the contract price. INTEREST APPRAISED We have appraised the "as is" market value of the fee simple interest, assuming the property to be free and clear of liens and subject to normal police powers. SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach to value. During the course of this assignment, the appraisers researched comparable sales and market trends. The methodology employed in research and analysis is set forth in the Valuation Section of the report. 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. HillS Dooley Road S Appraisal Issues PURPOSE AND FUNCfION OF THE APPRAISAL The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the "as-is" value of the fee simple interest in the property. It is our understanding that the function of this appraisal is for asset evaluation. VALUATION DATE AND INSPECTION DATE The valuation date is July 15, 1997. Darrel G. Copeland, MAl and Kathleen Price Wilke, CRE, MAl inspected the property on July 15, 1997. TERMINOLOGY The following terminology is needed to understand this appraisal: Market Value "Market value" is defined as 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: buyer and seller are typically motivated; both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he considers his own best interest; a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. Dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 6 Appraisal Issues 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.l Cash Equivalent A price expressed in terms of cash, as distinguished from a price which is expressed totally or partly in terms of the face amount of notes or other securities that cannot be sold at their face amounts.2 Fee Simple Estate Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate; subject only to the four powers of governmenf (eminent domain, escheat, police power, and taxation). EXPOSURE PERIOD There is currently an active market for development office/tech buildings in the Dallas area. Brokers report short marketing periods due to the demand for additional space and the lack of available product. Given this, we have estimated the marketing period for the subject to be six to 12 months. lInsurance Regulation 12 CRF 563.2 (t) and Policy Statement 571.1b. 7he Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal.

It is assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil, or structures which would affect the subject property's value. No responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for engineering or other reports which may be required to discover them. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which may or may not be present on the property, was not observed by the appraiser. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired. 8. The allocation of value between land and improvements if any, is based upon the highest and best use of the land as herein stated, and cannot be applied to any other use. 9. Opinions of value contained herein are estimates. There is no guarantee, written or implied. that the subject property will actually sell for such amounts. 10. The appraiser(s) will not be required to give testimony or attendance in court or before other legal authority by reason of this appraisal without prior agreement and arrangement between the client and the appraiser(s). 11. Real estate values are influenced by a large number of external factors. The data contained herein comprise all the pertinent facts considered necessary to support the value estimate. We have not knowingly withheld any pertinent facts; however, we do not guarantee that we have knowledge of all factors which might influence the value of the subject property. 12. Due to rapid changes in the external factors which influence real estate values, the value estimate is considered reliable only as of the stated date of valuation. 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 9 Limiting Conditions nnd Assumptions 13.

This appraisal was prepared by Price· Denton Inc. and consists of trade secrets and commercial or financial information which is privileged, confidential and exempted from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Please notify Kathleen P. Wilke, MAl of any request for reproduction of all or any part of this appraisal. 14. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. Price-Denton Inc. has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA 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 Price-Denton Inc. has no direct evidence relating to this issue, we did not consider possible noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property. 97JJ95 Price •Denton Inc.

The first phase of the building was completed in 1986, and contained 6,567 square feet. An additional 4,226 square feet was added in 1990. The building is designed for single-tenant occupancy, and is currently occupied by the owner. It is 100% air conditioned, and has office finish in the majority of the building with a portion in the rear of the building being used for storage and laboratory uses. The occupant also has several specialized uses in building to service its specific needs, as an air pollution testing and monitoring lab. These include venting systems in two rooms and a temperature-controlled room. Following is a brief description of the basic construction components. This description is based on a visual inspection of the property and building plans from Pross Design Group, Inc.

Condition of Building The improvements appear to be adequately maintained, with no significant signs of deferred maintenance. The quality of construction materials and workmanship appears equal to that of similar properties constructed in the neighborhood. Estimate oC Building LiCe and Effective Age The applicable terms are defined as follows: Physical LiCe: The total period a building lasts or is expected to last as opposed to its economic life.5 'The Dictionary of Real EslaJe Appraisal, Second Edition(Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989), p. 226. 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road JZ Improvements Analysis Economic Life: The period over which improvements to real property contribute to property value.6 Effective Age: The age indicated by the condition and utility of a structure.? Remaining Economic Life: The estimated period during which improvements will continue to contribute to property value." Remaining Physical Lire: The physical life projected as of the valuation date.9 Effective age (and subsequently the remaining life) is influenced by both the quality of construction and the wear the building has exhibited. Economic life is influenced not only by physical factors, but also by the functional utility of the structure and factors external to the property. The subject is considered to have a similar effective age to its actual age of 8 years. The improvements are an average-quality office/tech building. According to the Marshall Valuation Service, the typical life expectancy of properties similar to the subject is 50 years. Considering the quality of the improvements, it is our opinion that the subject property has an economic life of 50 years. Based on the subject's effective age of 8 years, the improvements have a remaining economic life of 42 years. 6The Dictionary of Real EstaJe 􀁁􀁰􀁰􀁲􀁡􀁩􀁳􀁡􀁾􀀠Second Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989). p. 100. 7The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Second Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989). p. 101.

This district allows for a variely of warehouse, distribution, and light manufacturing uses. This zoning also allows most retail, office, and commercial uses. Restrictions imposed by this classification include: Minimum Front Yard: 25 feet Minimum Rear Yard: 10 feet if adjoining a residential district Minimum Side Yard: 10 feet Maximum Height: Six stories unless set back an additional one foot for each two feet in height above six stories. Must meet FAA approval. Type of Construction: Masonry construction, with brick and stone veneer for front and side walls. Parking: Retail: One space per 200 square feet Office: One space per 300 square feet Service: One space per 1,000 square feet To the best of our knowledge, there are no deed restrictions affecting or limiting the use of the properly. However, this should not be taken as a guaranly or warranly that no such restrictions exist Deed restrictions are a legal matter, and normally only a title search by a competent title attorney would uncover them. Thus, it is recommended that a title search be made if any question regarding the existence of deed restrictions arises. Overall, zoning is not considered to be a constraint on development of the site. 97,005 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 35 Highest and Best Use HIGHEST AND BEST USE Highest and best use may be defined as: The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible and that results in the highest value.10 The highest and best use of both land as though vacant and property as improved must meet four criteria. The highest and best use must be 1) physically possible, 2) legally permissible, 3) financially feasible, and 4) maximally productive.'i Many factors enter into a highest and best use analysis. Some of these are: current zoning in the neighborhood, economic levels or present and anticipated growth in the area, accessibility and change in use. A property is an integral part of its neighborhood and cannot be treated as an entity separate and apart from its environment. The value of real property is not intrinsic, but flows into the property from the surrounding forces and shares the future with the neighborhood in in which it is located. Highest and best use is shaped by the competitive forces in the marketplace. It is not a subjective determination by the owner or the appraisers, but is based on economic forces affecting the property. Possible Use The first constraint imposed on the use of a property is the physical limitations of the site. The SUbject site contains a total of 1.003 acres and is located on the west side of Dooley Road, north of Keller Springs Road in the Town of Addison, Texas. The site is rectangular in shape. The site is generally level and contains no floodplain.

IlThe Appraisal of Real Estate, Tenth Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1987), p. 280. 91.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 36 Highest and Best Use terms of shape, soils, utilities and topography would not preclude any broad class of development. The size of the site is the primary limitation on the scale of development, but is adequate for development of uses similar to the surrounding improvements which tend to be smaller office/technical buildings. The lack of frontage on a heavily traveled thoroughfare would also have a negative impact on uses that need visibility from street traffic such as retail. Permissible Use Legal restrictions to the use of a site include public restrictions such as zoning and private restrictions such as easements and deed restrictions. The subject site is I-I (Industrial District 1). by the Town of Addison. This designation permits a variety of industrial uses, and also allows commercial, retail, and office uses. Residential uses are not permitted. Given the interior location of the subject, limited visibility from major traffic thoroughfares and the proximity to the airport, office/tech rather than retail uses is considered to be the most appropriate permissible use for the subject and would be consistent with nearby uses. Feasible Use The subject site is located in an area of several office/technical buildings with a zoning classification which allows this type of use. As noted in the Market Analysis, occupancy and rental rates for industrial properties in the market area have increased to a point in which demand is outpacing supply. Industrial leasing agents report strong demand with increasing rental rates. In addition. leasing agents are reporting that space with high amounts of office finish are in increasing demand as the rental rates in office buildings in the area have increased. making office/technical buildings an affordable alternative. Maximally Productive Use Based on the foregoing analysis, the maximaily productive use of the subject site, as if vacant, is for office/technical building development. 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 37 Highest and Best Use Highest and Best Use As Improved The subject is improved with a 10,793 square foot office/technical building built in two phase (1986 and 1990). These improvements are in average condition, and are functional for their use. Since they are consistent with the highest and best use "as vacant", the highest and best use of the property is for continued use as an office/technical building. 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 38 Valuation Process VALUATION PROCESS In estimating the market value of real property, there are three recognized approaches or techniques that, when applicable, can be used to process the data considered significant to each separate value indicator. In all instances, our experience, coupled with objective judgment, plays a major role in arriving at the conclusions of indicated value. The quantity and quality of available data and the applicability of each approach are important factors in comparing the various indications and reconciling them into a final estimate of value. The three approaches are commonly known as: Cost Approach: Approach through which an appraiser derives a value indication of the fee simple interest in a property by estimating the current cost to construct a reproduction of or replacement for the existing structure, deducting for all evidence of accrued depreciation from the cost new of the reproduction or replacement structure, and adding the estimated land value plus an entrepreneurial profit. Adjustments may be made to the indicated fee simple value of the subject property to reflect the value indication of the property interest being appraised.12 Sales Comparison Approach: Approach through which an appraiser derives a value indication by comparing the property being appraised to similar properties that have been sold recently, applying appropriate units of comparison, and making adjustments, based on the elements of comparison, to the sale prices of the comparables.u Income Capitalization Approach: Approach through which an appraiser derives a value indication for income-producing property by converting anticipated benefits, i.e., cash flows and reversions, into property value. This conversion can be accomplished in two ways: One year's 12The Dictionary of Real Estate 􀁁􀁰􀁰􀁲􀁑􀁩􀁳􀁑􀁾􀀠Second Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989), p. 72 13The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Second Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, 1989), p. 265. 97.ll95 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 39 Valuation Process income expectancy or an annual average of several years' income expectancies may be capitalized at a market-derived capitalization rate or a capitalization rate that reflects a specified income pattern, return on investment, and change in the value of the investment: secondly, the annual cash flows may be discounted for the holding period and the reversion at a specified yield rate.14 The Cost Approach is most applicable for newer improvements or for improvements which are unique or specialized in nature and for which there is a lack of comparable income or market sales data. Due to the difficulty in accurately measuring depreciation, this approach tends to be less reliable in older properties or in properties which have a great deal of economic obsolescence due to outside market factors. The Sales Comparison Approach is considered very reliable when adequate sales data on properties similar to the subject are available. In a slow market where data on highly comparable comparable properties is difficult to find, this approach is less reliable. The Income Capitalization Approach is most applicable to properties that are bought and sold for investment purposes and is considered very reliable when adequate income and expense data are available. Information from this approach is also useful in making adjustments in the Sales Comparison Approach when differences in properties can be measured by rent differentials, and in the Cost Approach in analyzing functional and economic obsolescence when these factors cause a rent loss. In our analysis we have relied on the Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization Approaches to value. The Cost Approach was excluded due to the age of the subject property, the lack of recent land sales in the immediate neighborhood, and the specialized nature of some of the components of the building which may not be functional for another user. 14The DictionlU)' of Real Estate 􀁁􀁰􀁰􀁲􀁡􀁩􀁳􀁡􀁾􀀠Second Edition (Chicago: American Institute of Real Estate Estate Appraisers, 1989), p. 156 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. . 16115 Dooley Road 40 Sales Comparisoll Approach SALES COMPARISON APPROACH The Sales Comparison Approach to value is based on the principle of substitution; that is, the value of the property is governed by the prices generally obtained for similar properties. Research is conducted to obtain data on recent sales of similar properties and then each sale is compared to the subject for differences in location, physical attributes and legal and economic characteristics. The unit of comparison will be the price per square fool Our research covered sales activity in the north Dallas area from January 1996 to May 1997. These sales and offerings had to be adjusted for time of sale, location, and age and condition of the building. After adjustments, these sales are considered to be indicative of the market value of the subject. The following pages contain specific information as it was reported to us pertaining to these sales. Reference is made to the Improved Property Sales Map following the comparables for locations of the comparables relative to the subject. An analysis of the subject and our comparables indicates that all of the properties are in approximately the same condition and have similar occupancies. Therefore, the subject and the comparables will be compared on an "as is" basis. 􀁾􀀧􀀮􀀠 􀁾􀀮􀀧􀀭 97.095 Price •Denton Inc. 16115 Dooley Road 41 Sales Comparison Approach Officeffecb Sale #1 Loc.ation: Mapsco: Grantor: Grantee: nale of Sal.: Recording Dato: Sales Price: Tenns: Casb Equi""lent Sale.
