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.

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.
