2.3.5.2. Land Valuation.The appraiser will develop an opinion of the market value of the remainder land for its highest and best use as if vacant and available for such use.142 

If the acquisition includes one or more temporary construction easements, the impact of those easements on the value of the remainder property must be accounted for in the valuation of the land after acquisition. Any diminution in the remainder land value by reason of the temporary easements must be measured in accordance with Section 1.9.1, and then be used as the basis for an adjustment to the remainder’s land value in this section of the report. The diminution in the remainder’s land value by reason of temporary easements should not be treated as an additive to be added to the difference between the before and after value of the property.
