B. Shape, Size and Topography: The subject site is a .66(+/-) parcel,


including parking associated with the subject and grassy areas on the

F. Utilities: All public utilities are available.

G. Site improvements: Site improvements include an 1800 SF convenient


store and adjacent ATM machine location with brick exterior to be renovated
into a drive-thru restaurant while retaining the ATM machine on the south
side of the property. Site improvements also include pole lighting,
landscaping, paved parking lot, signage, gas pumps and fuel tanks. The gas
pumps are to be removed by the seller and parking lot repaved. The majority
of the site is paved.

H. Proposed Site Improvements: Proposed changes to the existing


improvements include the installation of a drive thru window on the north
side of the building and renovations to the inside of the building to match the
needs of the pre-leased tenants. The exterior will also be redone with stucco
to increase the street appeal of the property. New signage will be installed on
the south side and northeast side of the building. The existing gas pumps and
underground storage tanks are to be removed by the seller as obligated by
the sales contract.

I. Parking: Parking is more than adequate for the intended use of the subject
property as a Subway restaurant. The parking lot will be repaved upon
purchase and parking spaces will be reduced to accommodate a drive thru.

J. Surrounding Uses: Surrounding uses include a gas station and grocery


store, a Razorback Transit bus stop parking area, and 2 strip centers
including retail and restaurant properties. The majority of the area around the
intersection is zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and C-2 Commercial
Thoroughfare. The area within a mile radius of the subject site is primarily R-
25/R-40 Residential Multifamily. The site is less than .5 m from the University
of Arkansas and Leverett Elementary School.

L. Building Setback Requirement: Improvements to the site must be set


back 50 feet from property lines encompassing the entire location.

M. Easements and Encroachments: We assume the normal easements for


utilities have no adverse affect on the value or marketability of the property.
Property boundaries are well defined with no apparent encroachments.

O. Conclusion: The subject site is well suited for its intended use as a drive thru
restaurant. The vacancy rates in the Fayetteville area are currently higher
than normal but it appears that the subject is in an established intersection.
The site has excellent exposure to local and commuter traffic, pedestrian
traffic, and bus riders. The surrounding uses also provide a large amount of
exposure to the site. This site is a superior choice for a drive-thru restaurant
after appropriate adjustments are made.
