NOTE; THE IMPROVED SALES COMPARISON APPROACH (MARKET APPROACH) IS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED BY THE COURTS, IN EMINENT DOMAIN, AS THE MOST RELEVANT APPROACH TO MARKET VALUE. NOT ONLY SHOULD DIFFERENCES SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS, BATHS, ETC. BE ADJUSTED FOR CONTRIBUTORY VALUE ON A LINE-ITEM BASIS; WHEN WHAT IS BEING ACQUIRED INCLUDES DETACHED GARAGES, POOLS, BARNS, SHEDS, FENCING, ETC.; THE CONTRIBUTORY VALUE OF THE VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE GRID ANALYSIS AND REPORT(S) AS WELL. IF THERE ARE ANY IMPROVEMENTS (RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL) THAT DO NOT CONTRIBUTE VALUE, THE REPORT SHOULD CLEARLY STATE SUCH AND IF THEY DO CONTRIBUTE VALUE, THE REPORT(S) SHALL HAVE LINE ITEM ADJUSTMENTS IN THE SALES GRID TO RECOGNIZE DIFFERENCES. PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALL IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALWAYS REQUIRED AS WELL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS FOR ALDOT TO COMPLY WITH THE UNIFORM RELOCATION ACT, SO, CAREFUL ATTENTION IS NEEDED.
