Valentine Valentine Appraisal Associates PO Box 4541 Middletown, Rhode Island 02842 Effective Appraisal Date July 6, 2022 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 2 DATE: July 6, 2022 TO: Mr. Edward Pare, Esquire In Support of Crown Castle 3 Corporate Park Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065 FROM: George F. Valentine Valentine Appraisal Associates PO Box 4541 Middletown, Rhode Island 02842 RE: Application of Crown Castle Proposed Wireless Monopole 36 Wequaquet Lane, Centerville, MA and 1060 Falmouth Road, Hyannis, MA Summary and Conclusions I have evaluated Crown Castle’s proposal to construct, install and operate a 110’ wireless monopole and related equipment at property owned by Centerville Gardens II, LLC (Barnstable Assessor’s Map 250023T00 & 250023H00). The applicant proposes to replace the existing 118’ self-supporting monopole located directly across the street at 1047 Falmouth Road with a 110’ self-supporting monopole in order to accommodate the additional antennas and associated equipment that the carriers require. The purpose of my evaluation is to determine if the proposed monopole, telecommunications antennas and associated equipment would have any potentially negative impact on real estate values in the surrounding area. The methodology utilized in this market study is based upon a comparison of sales of residential properties located in close proximity to existing wireless telecommunication towers to sales of similar properties in similar neighborhoods without exposure to wireless telecommunication towers. This technique is known as “paired sales analysis” and is widely accepted as a method of determining the impact, if any, on property values due to the influence of external factors such as wireless telecommunication facilities. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 3 In the case of the subject facility, there is minimal difference between the existing facility, at 118’ versus the proposed 110’ facility. A review of nearby properties did not reveal any unusual pricing due to the presence of the existing tower. The photo simulations, based on a crane/balloon test, revealed minimal changes to area view sheds as shown below. Existing Tower located at 1047 Falmouth Road, Hyannis Proposed Tower located at 38 Wequaquet Lane and 1060 Falmouth Road 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 4 Based upon the research and analysis conducted for the preparation of this market study, it is my opinion that the proposed wireless facility will not have any negative impact on the value of surrounding properties. It is also my opinion that even if the existing tower remained in place and the new proposed tower was constructed, there would be no impact on nearby residential property values. The conclusions reached in my analysis are based on my present knowledge with respect to the impact of wireless communication facilities on their respective communities, as of the effective date of this report July 6, 2022. Purpose and Intended Use of this Consulting Service The purpose of my evaluation is to determine whether, once installed, the proposed wireless telecommunications facility would have a negative impact on real estate values in the immediate surrounding area. Client Relationship The client for this assignment is Mr. Edward Pare, Esquire in support of Crown Castle. My compensation for this consulting service is not contingent upon the outcome of the pending application. Scope of the Assignment In performing this consulting assignment, the evaluation process consisted of: • Reviewed the plans filed with the application. Identified the size and configuration of the subject site, the location of the proposed installation on the site, and the relationship of the proposed facility to existing nearby properties. • Research on the region, town, and county is based on information available through state and local government agencies. • Research on other wireless communication facility sites and the impact on surrounding neighborhoods included interviews with municipal officials at numerous town and city halls. • Survey of land uses in the area to establish the characteristics of the neighborhood. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 5 • Evaluated the proposed use of the property to determine if there were any features of the petition that might have a negative impact on the character of this neighborhood or be detrimental to surrounding property values. Findings of Fact I have received or determined the following facts: • The Barnstable Tax Assessor identifies the parcels as 250023T00 & 250023H00 containing approximately 2.88 acres of land that is improved with two commercial structures. • The site is located in the RD-1 Residential zoning district. • The use proposed is a passive use. With the exception of the initial installation, it will not be manned, and will not generate significant onsite activity, or significantly increase traffic. The proposed facility will be externally monitored via automatic onsite sensors, and apart from routine maintenance and inspections, there will be no visible activity associated with this facility. • The use has no employees, customers, or regular visitors and therefore requires no significant parking area and has no traffic impacts. • The proposed site has the necessary geographic location, within the constraints of the applicant’s wireless network system, to support the proposed wireless communication facility. • The proposed communication facility will provide a modern wireless communication system for the benefit of the residents and businesses of Centerville and Hyannis. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 6 Neighborhood Description A neighborhood is defined as "a group of complimentary land uses."1 Neighborhood boundaries are drawn to include those uses within an area that are affected in the same way by the social, economic, environmental, and governmental forces that influence property value. Neighborhood boundaries may be determined by physical barriers, legal boundaries (zoning or city limits), availability of utilities and services or by the change in land uses. The subject neighborhood is considered to be Route 6 to the north, Route 132 to the east, Old Stage Road to the west, and West Main Street to the south. The area is a mix of commercial and residential uses along the primary corridors and predominantly residential throughout the surrounding side streets. The proposed wireless facility will be well buffered by adjacent commercial structures and existing tree coverage. Subject Property Identification and Description The proposed subject facility consists of a fenced compound located on a parcel of land owned by Centerville Gardens II, LLC located at 36 Wequaquet Lane, Centerville, and 1060 Falmouth Road, Hyannis, MA. The entire parcel contains approximately 2.88 acres and is further identified as Parcels 250023T00 & 250023H00, of the Tax Assessor’s records for Barnstable. The proposed monopole will be located behind an existing commercial structure in a heavily wooded area and will be set well back from the surrounding streets. The Monopole will be set back 319’ from Route 28, a significantly further setback than the existing tower at 1047 Falmouth Road. The Monopole will also be eight feet (8’) shorter than the tower to be removed (although the Site is approximate eight feet (8’) higher in ground elevation). and be well buffered by existing trees on the site. 1 The Appraisal of Real Estate, (Tenth Edition, 1992), sponsored by the Appraisal Institute, Page 171. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 7 Location Map 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Aerial View of Proposed Wireless Facility Location 8 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Site Plan with Proposed Wireless Facility Location 9 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 10 Wireless Telecommunications Facility Impact Studies In order to measure any impact a wireless facility may or may not have on residential real estate, there must be adequate sales activity in close proximity to such a facility from which to draw our conclusions. Despite the number of wireless facilities that have been constructed over the past few decades, there is often little sales data in any given community that can be considered relevant to the analysis. In the course of our work over the past decade, we have observed market reactions to dozens of wireless facilities. The typical approach to determine any potential impact on value due to the proximity to of a wireless telecommunication tower is known as a paired sales analysis. There are two methods utilized in this approach. The first method relies upon the comparison of properties in the vicinity of a future wireless facility that have sold before that facility has been installed to properties close to the same location that have sold after the facility has been installed. The sales are adjusted between sale dates to account for market conditions. The second method relies on the comparison of a property that has sold in close proximity to an existing wireless facility to a similar property in a similar location that is not near a wireless facility. Any differences in sale dates are adjusted for market conditions. On the following pages, we will present several paired sales analyses of properties that have sold in close proximity to wireless facilities. These sales were compared to similar properties in similar locations without the influence of a wireless facility. The studies include a variety of suburban communities in New England. Although the sales data is derived from a variety of communities, market reactions to the wireless facilities appears to be the same, regardless of the price range. The paired sales analyses are derived from Falmouth, Scituate, Sudbury, MA and Pelham, NH. 11 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 50 Highfield Drive, Falmouth, MA – Existing 174’ Guyed Lattice Tower This 174’ tower is bracketed by the Cape Symphony Falmouth Campus, the Highfield Hall and Gardens, Falmouth Sports Center, Falmouth Academy, and the Highfield Condominiums. This is a wooded area with limited residential development in the area. The six unit Highfield Condominium is located about 400 feet from the existing tower. There has been some recent sales activity in the Highfield Condominium. Unit 3 of the Highfield Condominium is a 2,400± SF two-bedroom, three bath unit that sold on November 27, 2019 for $612,000 or $253/SF. The mean sale price for condominiums in the 1,900 to 2,900 SF size (500 SF smaller to 500 SF larger) in Falmouth for the full year 2019 was $538,680, or 250/SF. The average sale price for similar size units in Falmouth, at $250/SF was below the sale price of Unit 3 of the Highfield Condominium, at $253/SF, indicating no diminution of value due to the tower. 12 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Aerial View of Highfield Drive Tower Location and Unit 3 of the Highfield Condominium Unit 3 of the Highfield Condominium MLS Condo Stats – 1,900 SF to 2,900 SF Condo Sales for year 2019 13 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 14 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Impact Study (160’ monopole – 22 Gumpas Hill Road, Pelham, New Hampshire) 10 Pondview Drive, Pelham, NH – Direct View of Tower View of 160’ Tower from 10 Pondview Drive, Pelham, NH 15 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 10 Pondview Drive sold on June 22, 2016 for $318,000. This property contains 1,666 square feet with 6 rooms, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths. The median sale price in Pelham for competing properties over a one-year period was $320,000. This property sold at 99% of median sale price of competing properties. 10 Pondview Drive Sale Data 16 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Impact Study (160’ monopole – 22 Gumpas Hill Road, Pelham, New Hampshire) 438 Mammoth Road, Pelham, NH – Direct View of Tower View of 160’ Tower from 438 Mammoth Road, Pelham, NH 438 Mammoth Road sold on October 14, 2016 for $378,642. This property contains 1,417 square feet with 6 rooms, 1 bedroom, and 2 baths. The median sale price in Pelham for competing properties over a one-year period was $350,000. This property sold at 108% of median sale price of competing properties. No reduction in assessed value due to tower presence. 17 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 438 Mammoth Road Sale Data 438 Mammoth Road sold on October 14, 2016 for $378,642. This is consistent with sales of similar properties in the Pelham market. No impact on value due to the view of the tower is indicated. No reduction in assessed value due to tower presence. 18 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Paired Sales Analysis - Lattice Tower located adjacent to Highland Crossing, Scituate, Ma Highland Crossing is an established mid to upper end single family residential development in the suburban community of Scituate. There is a 190’ lattice wireless telecommunications tower located at the top of the cul de sac of Highland Crossing. The tower is situated within 300 feet of the nearest residences. There were two sales along Highland Crossing in 2009; 33 Highland Crossing and 62 Highland Crossing. 62 Highland Crossing is located within 300 feet of the tower and 33 Highland Crossing is located about 900 feet from the tower. The tower is highly visible from 62 Highland Crossing. The appraiser compared the Highland Crossing sales to two sales which occurred in similar neighborhoods without the presence of wireless towers. The subject neighborhood and comparable sales data are presented on the following pages. 33 Highland Crossing sold for $575,000 on June 7, 2009 and 62 Highland Crossing sold for $585,000 on June 23, 2009. 62 Highland Crossing is much closer to the tower than 33 Highland Crossing and sold for more than 33 Highland Crossing which is located just down the street and farther from the tower. The two paired sales, 12 Chet Way and 267 Tilden Road, sold in June and July of 2009 for $494,000 and $511,000 respectively. All of these properties are very similar and would have equal appeal to the market. The data shows the properties in close proximity to the wireless tower had sale prices that were actually higher than similar properties with no wireless facility nearby. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA Wireless Facility Location - Off Highland Crossing, Scituate, Ma..

This neighborhood is known as Willis Hill Estates and consists of high-end single-family residences built in the mid 1990’s. Willis Hill is located in western/central Sudbury just east of Maynard Road. Land use patterns in this area are generally medium density residential subdivisions as well as older single-family dwellings. There are no significant commercial or industrial uses in the immediate vicinity. The Willis Hill water tank and wireless telecommunication facility is located atop Willis Hill and is accessed via approximately 30 feet of frontage on Maynard Road. The site is rectangular in shape and is the location of two water tanks and the associated wireless antennae. Willis Hill Estates is comprised of approximately 55 lots, typically one acre in size, and configured around five private roadways. The housing styles are generally modern colonials with gross living areas in the 3,500 to 6,500 square foot range. All properties appear to be custom designs with a high degree of amenity and detail. Material and workmanship are excellent. No properties exhibited any deferred maintenance. In order to determine if the wireless facility has had any effect on value on the residential properties located in the nearby Willis Hill Estates, sales of properties in close proximity to the Willis Hill wireless facility were analyzed and compared with sales located at points further from the site. As presented in the following analysis, three sales located within close proximity to the Willis Hill site are analyzed by sale price per square foot of gross living area as well as the sale price as a percentage of assessed value. The relevant sales data is presented on the following pages. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 25 Willis Hill Water Tank and Wireless Communication Site, Sudbury, Ma. 36 WEQUAQUET LANE, CENTERVILLE AND 1060 FALMOUTH RD, HYANNIS, MA 26 Summary of Sales Activity – Willis Hill Estates The first data set represents sales of Willis Hill Estates properties in close proximity to the Willis Hill Wireless Facility. The next data set represents sales of Willis Hill Estates properties located in more distant locations relative to the Willis Hill Wireless Facility. The value indicators generated by the sales in close proximity to the Willis Hill wireless facility are generally consistent with the value indicators generated by the sales in more distant locations to the facility. There is no indication any diminution in value due to the proximity of the properties to the Willis Hill wireless facility. Aerial maps of the sales are presented on the following pages.
