Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
May
25th
2021-
and
this
is
the
arlington
county
board
of
equalization
hearing
the
first
here
or
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
rpc
01008016.
It's
the
property
located
at
69,
18,
30th
street
and
miss
santomi
is
here
to
tell
us
about
our
property.
You
can
start
with
your
eight
minutes
when
you're
ready.
B
Okay,
let
me
hear
my
screen:
let's
see.
B
B
Do
you
see
this
okay?
So
let
me
go
over
quickly,
so
my
property
value
has
increased
by
four
percent
from
previous
year
and
I
don't
think
it's
fair.
The
boe
memo
only
states,
my
property
being
located
within
special
flat
hazard
and
resource
protection
area.
That
is
why
filed,
but
that's
not
true,
but
if
I
compare
it
with
our
neighborhood
recent
sales
and
assessment
values,
my
property
is
overvalued.
B
As
the
memo
state,
my
property,
is
in
a
resource
protection
area
in
a
flat
zone.
I
own
a
full
mile
creek
in
my
backyard.
The
creek
has
been
eroding
severely
and
I've
been
losing
land
as
well.
So
the
increase
in
the
land
value
by
35
000
dollars
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
regarding
the
compare
properties.
Although
the
boe
memo
states
that
they
are
all
in
the
same
neighborhood
actually
except
one
on
williamsburg
they're,
not
in
the
same
locations,
three
houses
are
closer
to
the
east
house.
B
Other
side
of
the
creek
in
a
much
higher
elevation
it
was
sold
in
october
2019
at
nine
hundred
thousand.
The
lot
side
is
more
than
double
of
my
property.
Thirty
thou
thirteen
thousand
square
feet
to
be
exact,
but
the
land
assessment
is
over
forty
two
thousand
dollars
lower
than
mine.
If
I
divide
the
sales
and
assessment
value
by
finished
area,
not
the
lost
size,
the
numbers
are
lower
than
mine,
465
for
sales
and
455
for
2021
and
441
for
2020
and
389
for
2019..
B
B
Three
here
in
the
presentation,
69
36
27
street
notes,
was
sold
in
august
2019
at
900.
000.
finished
area
is
bigger
than
mine
and
it
is
closer
to
the
metro.
It
does
not
even
have
a
creek.
So
if
I
divide
the
sales
and
assessment
body
of
a
area,
the
numbers
are
lower
than
mine,
381,
360
and
357
and
356..
B
So
my
assessment
values
are
104
dollars
to
124
dollars
more
expensive
and
number
four,
which
is
number
three
and
number
four
in
this
presentation,
25
or
six
notes
on
the
wood
was
sold
in
september
to
2020
at
one
million
fifteen
thousand
dollars
closer
to
metro.
Still,
if
I
divide
the
sales
and
point
assessment
value
by
finish
area,
the
assessment
values
are
lower
than
mine,
488,
474,
409
and
394.
B
So
my
assessment
batteries
are
10
to
66
dollars
in
square
feet
more
expensive
and
number
four
and
which
is
number
five
here:
67
30
little
false
road
is
an
exception,
but
it
has
a
bigger
lot
size,
3.6,
000
square
feet,
bigger
than
mine
and
closer
to
the
metro.
Of
course
it
doesn't
have
the
creek.
B
B
There
are
two
recent
sales
in
2019
and
2020.,
I'm
not
going
over
one
by
one,
but
they
don't
have
the
creek
and
two
of
the
houses,
which
is
number
one
and
number
two
are
not
in
the
flood
zone
nor
their
resource
protection
area.
My
house
is
over
value
by
40
to
156
dollars
in
square
feet.
The
average
assessment
value
of
those
three
houses
are
mid
to
high
300
dollars.
B
So
I
don't
think
the
bre
memo
didn't
really
compare
my
house
with
the
comparison
houses
and
with
my
neighborhood
houses.
My
I
believe
my
house
is
over
by
you
in
addition
to
my
house,
being
over.
Very
I
own,
the
creek
in
the
backyard
since
it's
my
property.
The
county
cannot
help
me
for
a
further
erosion.
B
My
property
is
in
the
resource
protection
area
and
now
in
the
flood
zone,
those
houses
comparison
and
my
neighborhood
houses
do
not
own
the
creek
so
that
boe
memo
states.
There
is
no
market
evidence
that
the
creek
running
through
the
subject's
property
line
has
negative
market
impact
on
marketability.
B
B
I
understand
from
the
memo
that,
even
though
the
river
or
creek
is
causing
lots
of
issue
to
my
property,
there
is
no
site
adjustment
due
to
the
creek
running
through
the
property.
However,
based
on
the
recent
sales
and
the
neighborhood
property
assessment
values,
even
though
the
most
of
the
houses
except
one,
do
not
face
the
creek,
their
value
are
lower
than
mine.
B
So
my
house
is
over
value,
although
as
much
as
memo
states,
my
property
in
the
resource
protection
area
and
on
the
former
creek,
the
creek
has
been
eroding
severely,
I'm
losing
land,
the
outflow
pipe
is
54
years,
and
now
my
property
is
under
the
flood
zone.
I
need
to
purchase
a
flat
entrance
going
forward.
B
C
Everyone,
my
name
is
anada
shuttlesworth,
and
this
year
I
am
assigned
to
the
subjects
neighborhood.
The
subject.
Property
is
a
split
level
house
built
in
1963
and
it
is
situated
on
a
10,
000
square
foot
lot.
It
has
1806
square
feet
of
finished
living
area,
5,
bedrooms,
2
and
a
half
bathrooms
good
quality
and
effective
age
of
1983..
C
The
property
is
currently
assessed
at
eight
hundred.
Seventy
four
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
and
the
appellant
believes
that
it
should
be
lowered
down
to
a
hundred
twenty
thousand,
so
the
appellant
file
for
the
review
last
year,
and
she
also
filed
for
the
review
this
year.
For
the
same
reasons,
the
property
is
located
in
rpa,
there's
also
a
drainage
issue
and
the
property
is
being
located
in
proposed
fema
flood
hazard
area
and,
as
the
opponent
just
say,
that
she
has
to
obtain
a
mandatory
flood
insurance
last
year
on
the
review.
C
C
The
opponent
also
provided
seven
comparables
out
of
those
seven
comparables.
Five
of
them
had
negative
five
percent
adjustments
for
due
to
the
location
to
the
busy
street.
They
also
had
lower
effective
age
as
compared
to
the
subject.
Please
note
that
the
subject
is
located
in
a
quiet
cul-de-sac
and
two
remaining
comparables.
The
appellant
provided
were
actually
the
land
sails,
68
30,
30th
road
and
68
31
30th
road,
where
both
land
sales
are.
Currently
there
are
brand
new
homes
standing
on
the
side
on
both
sides.
C
Also,
our
comparables,
mainly
6929
williamsburg
boulevard,
is
located
on
the
other
side
of
the
creek.
The
creek
also
runs
through
the
property
line,
and
we
do
take
note
that
the
property
has
larger
lot
size
and
it
has
been
updated,
which
is
reflected
in
a
higher
assessment.
C
Now
this
property
also
backs
directly
to
I-66,
and
it's
located
on
the
pipe
stamp.
We
have
another
sale
that
we
have
provided,
which
is
2506
north
underwood,
that
property
sold
for
over
a
million
dollars.
C
It's
only
200
square
foot
larger
than
the
subject
and
it's
sold
in
september
2020..
We
have
another
comparable
that
we
provide
at
sales
comparable
67,
36,
20,
20
27th
street.
I
apologize
that
sold
in
august
2019
for
900.
It
is
dated
as
compared
to
the
subject.
C
We
generally
do
not
apply.
Adjustments
just
for
being
located
in
the
fema
float
hazard
map.
We
do
we
do
review
case
by
case.
C
There
are
many
properties
within
arlington
county
that
experience
some
level
of
flooding
with
different
frequency,
so
we
have
collaborated
with
the
department
of
environmental
services
and
they
actually
advised
us
that
the
subject
property,
although
it
is
situated
in
proposed
fema
flood
hazard
map.
It
is
not
on
the
repetitive
floating
list.
We
cannot
make
an
adjustment
based
on
past
floating.
C
I
believe
the
opponent
stated
that
few
years
ago
she
her
basement
did
get
flooded
that
was
few
years
ago,
and
since
then
she
took
necessary
measures
to
prevent
future
occurrence
of
flood
and
she
waterproof
the
basement.
C
Also.
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
do
respect
the
appellant's
honesty.
She
did
email
me
a
few
weeks
ago
and
she
did
state
that
the
employee
from
the
es
visited
her
property
website
of
her
property
and
she
did
address
the
drainage
issue.
There's
this
location
of
the
concrete
drainage,
pipe
concrete
channel
and
drainage
pipe
were
not
aligned
and
the
des
is
actively
working
on
addressing
the
issue.
C
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
and
also,
I
know
you
will
be
looking
at
one
of
the
comparable
sales
which
is
which
appellant
provided
to
2940
northwest
tomorrowland,
that
property
sold
for
775
thousand,
although
we
didn't
have
any
reason
to
disqualify
the
sales.
C
Please
be
careful
when
you
consider
this
comp,
I'm
sure
you
have
seen
our
land
sales
provided
on
our
analysis.
Spreadsheets.
We
had
five
land
sales,
four
out
of
those
five
land
sales
sold
for
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
subject
site
is
assessed
at
seven
hundred
thirty
thousand
dollars.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
that
her.
Her
lot
is
assessed
significantly
below
the
land
sales
that
we
had
and
also
the
the
the
property
is.
The
fact
that
the
property
is
not
in
the
repetitive
flood
list
doesn't
warrant
the
adjustment
going
forward
to
her
landsat
again
we
have
several
properties
within
arlington
county
that
are
in
rpa
or
flood
map
zones,
and
we
don't
just
go
and
grant
adjustments
without
any
supportive
sales.
C
We
view
each
case
individually
and
we
we
we
do
take
due
diligence
and
we
collaborate
with
the
es
department
and
again
so
these
are
my
main
points
I
wanted
to
address,
but
I
would
strongly
encourage
you
to
look
at
those
land
sales.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Questions
from
board
members.
D
As
for
the
department,
the
appellants-
and
she
repeated
this
several
times,
the
appellant's
land
value
went
up.
You
know
simple
math,
3.9
percent.
How
is
that
compared
to
the
neighborhoods
land
value
evaluations
from
last
year?
To
this.
C
It
was,
it
was
equitable
with
her
next-door
neighbors.
I
pulled
out
the
assessments
for
her
next-door
neighbors
and
they
increased
by
exact
same
rate
their
same.
They
have
very
similar
size
lots
so,
for
example,
neighbor
number
one
692
on
the
430th
street
herland
increased
by
3.9
it's
at
seven,
eighty
five
thousand
dollars.
It
is
larger
by
five
thousand
square
feet.
C
D
A
Okay,
mr
lawson.
C
E
C
C
E
Okay,
I
guess
I
guess
my
my
question
is:
when
did
the
county
start
using
repetitive
flooding
as
a
criteria?
I've
never
heard
that
before.
C
So
it
was
fairly
recent.
We
had
a
meeting
with
the
ds
department.
Well,
the
des
has
been
maintaining
less
for
years
right
now,
but
we
just
recently
started
collaborating
with
the
es,
because
we
had
such
a
high
volume
of
reviews
due
to
the
same
reason.
C
So
we
started
collaborating
with
des
they
maintained
a
spreadsheet
and
they
update
the
spreadsheet
based
on
the
phone
calls
received
from
the
homeowners.
Whenever
there
is
occurrence
of
flood
they
recorded
on
this
spreadsheet.
Whenever
there's
9-1-1
call
day,
they
take
correct,
they
make
record
of
it
and
there
is
no
records
whatsoever
that
the
subject
property
was
flooded
on
several
occasions.
C
It
is
on
the
proposed
fema
map
zone
hazard
and
she
did.
She
does
need
to
obtain
her
mandatory
insurance
flood
insurance,
but
just
as
many
other
homeowners
in
arlington
have
to
do
the
same
thing
we
actually
established.
We
had
to
develop
some
kind
of
systematic
point
of
reference.
We
can
look
at
so
because
there's
such
a
wide
range
of
flat
occurrences
in
arlington
and
different
at
different
frequencies,
we
have
the
developed
classification.
We
classify
properties
into
three
groups.
C
C
C
Our
property
has
damage
to
the
interior
of
the
house
due
to
flooding
on
multiple
occasions.
This
is
repetitive:
okay,
okay,.
C
E
Okay,
that's
very
informative.
Can
I
ask
the
owner
a
quick
question.
A
C
So,
based
on
the
sales
comparables
that
we
have
provided
and
the
fact
that
the
owner
has
waterproof
the
basement,
she
took
necessary
steps
to
prevent
future
flooding
and
that
the
property
is
not.
On
the
repetitive
flood
list,
I
asked
the
board
to
confirm
the
the
assessment
for
2021..
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
take
consideration
of
our
neighborhood
sales
values
and
assessment
values
that
I
presented
today.
You
know,
in
addition
to,
like
my
creek
thank
you.
E
Mary
I'll
go
ahead
and
share
my
thought.
I
you
know
I
I
know
about
the
the
repetitive
flooding
you
know
you
have
some
properties
that
that
that
are
flooding
constantly
and
this
one
apparently
had
the
one
flood,
but
I
still
think
it
has
an
impact,
and
I
do
know
that
you
know
rpa
and
being
in
a
flood
zone.
I
think
there
is
an
impact
on
value,
and
you
know
the
the
county
routinely
gives
a
break
to
properties
on
busy
route.
Roads
pipe,
stems,
odd
shape
and
so
forth.
E
So
I
think
when
you
take
the
possibility
of
the
flooding
and
the
rpa,
I
think
you
know
if
I'm
buying
a
a
property,
I'm
I'm
going
to
try
to
buy
one
that
doesn't
have
these
two
qualities,
and
so
I
I
think
there
should
be
an
reduction
such
as
say
ten
percent,
as
is
done
for
busy
highways.
A
Okay,
I'll
just
kind
of
jump
in
here
on
the
back
of
mr
lawson,
I
mean
I,
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
the
creek
was
there.
You
know
when
the
property
was
purchased.
In
addition,
I
mean
some
people
would
look
at
that
the
natural
environment
of
it
there
is
marketability
to
it.
This.
A
I
would
lean
a
little
bit
more
towards
your
thought
if
this
was
a
5600
square
foot
lot
or
a
6
000
square
foot
lot,
but
you
know
it
certainly
has
some
size,
so
I'm
not
sure
the
fact
that
it
needs
to
have
flood
insurance.
Now
lots
of
properties
have
the
requirement
to
have
flood
insurance.
You
write
off
to
the
federal
government.
It's
all
underwritten
that
way,
and
you
know
you
get
the
flood
insurance.
A
F
Yeah,
what
something
jumped
out
when
we
were
on
slide
nine,
when
the
appellate
was
going
through
it.
It
looked
like
there's
a
big
20
foot,
wide
storm
water,
easement
running
up
next
to
the
creek,
and
that
basically
goes
right
up
against
the
house
or
pretty
close
to
it.
So
I.
F
We've
there's
been
a
land
reduction
on
eastman
areas
based
on
the
square
footage
of
the
easement.
So
maybe
that's
another
way
to
look
at
it
rather
than
just
taking
the
whole
the
whole.
G
G
F
Point
additionally,
I
was
looking
at
comp
one
and
thinking
that
was
a
pretty
good
sale
at
nine
hundred
thousand,
but
you
know
I
I
went
and
looked
at
the
listing
on
that
from
before
the
sale
and
it's
like
that's
a
huge
lot
for
arlington.
It's
wooded
it's
like
you're
you're
in
another
county.
It
feels
like
you're
in
west
virginia.
When
you're
I
mean
the
pictures
are
beautiful.
F
It's
like
half
acre,
so
I
don't
know
you
know
if
you
put
that
property
right
up
against
this
one
and
put
them
both
for
sale
at
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
You
know
I
think
this.
I
think
that
that
property
was
probably
a
good
pick
up
at
900
and
this
one
would
be
valued
a
lot
less
on
a
ten
thousand
foot
lot
kind
of
at
the
end
of
not
a
very
nice
cul-de-sac.
F
D
I
I'm
wondering
if
so,
what
I
noted
mostly
was
not
the
creek
but
the
erosion
due
to
the
creek,
and
I
was
wondering
to
myself
whether
des
realigning
the
outflow
from
the
creek
bed
or
whatever.
It
is
that
that
the
department
has
reported
to
us
might
mitigate
a
lot
of
that
erosion
and
also
therefore,
probably
mitigate
flood
risk.
To
an
extent.
D
E
Very
quickly,
ken,
I
think
the
county
based
on
the
westover
flooding
that
whacked
all
those
properties
in
this
part
of
the
county.
I
think
the
county's
going
to
stabilize
these
creeks-
I'm
not
100
sure,
but
I
I
think
that's
happening
and
I
think
on
the
on
the
eqc.
E
That's
more
recent,
madam
chairman,
the
the
the
creek
was
there,
but
the
regulations
on
property
of
budding
creeks
is
is
fairly
new
and
the
county
has
been
greatly
enlarging
the
areas
as
they've
been
doing
more
detailed
work
on
on
topography
and
on
the
creeks
and
so
forth,
and
so
my
suggestion
is
only
when
there's
a
significant
impact
on
the
property.
E
You
know
my
father
had
it
on
his
lot,
but
it
was
only
a
little
amount
of
area.
One
of
the
pictures
that
the
applicant
showed
it
looked
like
pretty
much.
The
whole
lot
was
encumbered
by
it.
With
that
I'll,
be
quiet.
H
Oh
yes,
that
was,
I
actually
wanted
to
ask
mark
what
his
thoughts
were
in
this.
I
know
that
he's
been
more,
you
know,
mark
you've
been
more
involved
in
the
the
developing,
and
you
know
looking
at
specific
sides
to
be
able
to
build
on.
Would
you
be
you
know
what
would
be?
What
would
be
the
impact
to
you
and
you
know
the
people
that
you're
involved
with
when
you're
looking
at
purchasing
a
lot
like
this.
H
H
Okay,
well,
my
initial
reaction
to
this
was
that
I
think
yeah
I'm
a
little
bit
in
between,
because
I
think
it
does
have
an
impact.
You
know
when
we're
looking
at.
H
If
I
had
a
client
looking
at
specific
lots
to
be
able
to
develop,
you
know
looking
at
this
lot
compared
to
other
lots
that
are
selling
for
a
little
bit
more.
I
think
it
does
have
an
impact.
You
know
it.
I
don't
think
it.
It
would
bring
the
just
the
typical
buyer
and
say
you
know
it's
okay
to
have
a
creek
there,
but
I
was
thinking
more
of
a
reduction
in
not
10
percent,
but
five
percent
on
the
land.
H
Based
on
that,
I
don't
think
I
think
I
don't
think
10
percent
is
to
me.
So
it's
it's
a
bit
high.
F
Just
for
to
kind
of
follow
up
on
my
comment
that
it
looks
like
it's
about
2000
square
feet
is
the
easement
area
on
the
storm,
the
county,
storm
easement.
F
F
So
if
you
took,
if
you
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
it,
if
you
took
that
area
and
applied,
maybe
a
five
percent
discount
or
ten
percent
on
the
eastman
area
at
10
percent,
it's
15
000.
It's
a
14
600
reduction
to
the
land.
E
H
F
Yeah
I
took
the
the
easement
area
and
reduced
that
area
only
by
ten
percent.
D
I
think
it's
definitive
enough
that
we're
targeting
it
on
something
that
is
commonly
creates
a
reduction
and
it's
a
modest
reduction.
But
it's
real.
F
All
right,
so
I
got
the
numbers
here
I'll
I'll
make
a
motion
that
we
reduce
the
land
to
715
400.,
which
brings
the
total
assessed
value
to
eight
fifty
nine
six
hundred.
A
H
E
A
That's
okay,
mr
minsky
is
mr
minsky.
A
A
No,
he
has
not
joined
okay
well,
so
we
can
allow
the
appraiser
to
go
back.
I
don't
know
who's
echoing,
but
I
hear
an
echo
we'll
go
ahead
and
hear
this
case
then
so
the
second
case
on
the
agenda
is
rpc02036016
at
5709
little
falls
road
with
the
absence
of
mr
vinsky
we'll
go
ahead
with
miss
shuttlesworth
and
you
can
tell
us
about
the
property.
Please
sure.
C
The
subject
property
is
a
bi-level
home,
built
in
1955,
effective
age
of
1990
and
good
quality.
The
property
is
situated
on
11
968
square
foot
lot,
and
it
has
2658
square
feet
of
finished
living
area
it.
It
features
three
full
bathrooms.
Three
bedrooms
and
one
car
basement
garage.
The
home
owner,
declined
the
interior
inspection
last
year.
C
The
appellant's
file
for
the
review
and
corrections
to
the
sketch
were
made,
resulting
in
39
600
decrease
in
his
assessment
this
year
the
appellants
are
contesting
the
assessment
based
on
four
assessment:
comparables
they
provided
they
state
that
the
average
assessment
per
square
foot
of
these
comparables
are
below
the
assessed
value
per
square
foot
of
their
property
and
they
they
listed
four
assessments:
comparables
5517,
yorktown,
boulevard,
5609,
yorktown,
boulevard,
5417,
yorktown,
boulevard
and
5714
little
falls
run,
although
the
little
false
run
property
is
not
a
representative,
it
is
situated
on
two
separate
parcels
and
its
total
value
is
actually
1.48
million
dollars.
C
So
we
didn't
put
heavy
weight
on
that
comparable.
Our
department
provided
two
comparable
sales,
2910
greenbrier
street
and
2711
or
kensington
street.
They
sold
both
during
the
analysis
period
for
one
one.
Four
one
one
point:
forty
two
one,
I'm
sorry
one
million
forty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
the
second
one
sold
for
one
hundred,
fifty
thousand
one
million
fifty
thousand
dollars
why
they
are
not
bi-level.
They
are
one
store
over
the
basement
homes.
It
was
not
possible
to
bracket
the
style
out
of
493
parcels
in
this
neighborhood.
C
There
were
only
six
buy
level
homes
and
using
two-story
homes
as
comparable
was
prohibitive.
In
this
case.
Our
assessment
comparables,
however,
are
both
bi-level
style
and
the
assessments
support
the
subject's
assessment,
and
should
I
do
the
closing
statement
or
I'm
not
sure.
A
G
D
C
Sure
so
one
out
of
four
comparables
was
I
I
think
appellant
only
opened
one
parcel.
He
was
not.
G
C
C
They
were
all
inferior
in
terms
of
updates
and
they,
yes,
so
the
first
comparable
5517
yorktown
it
had
effective
age
of
1950,
the
second
one
5609
yorktown,
effective
age
of
1976
and
the
third
one
5417
yorktown.
It
had
effective
age
of
1975.
C
and
now
and
the
fact
that
the
appellants
use
the
averaging
method.
We
don't
do
that.
It
is
commonly
known
in
our
assessment
board
that
we,
this
is
not
a
acceptable
practice.
If
the.
If
all
the
harms
were
identical,
then
maybe
we
would
look
at
this
argument
as
valid,
but
because
all
those
comparables
that
he
provided
are
so
different
averaging
metal
is
not
a
good
good,
good,
good
method
in
valuation
and
our
sales
do
support
his
assessment
and
it's
equitable.
When
you
look
at
other
bi-level
homes
in
the
same
neighborhood,.
A
C
G
C
Both
the
sales
and
assessment
comparables
that
we
have
provided
they
do
support
subjects
assessment.
The
appellant
has
not
provided
any
sales
comparables.
All
those
comparables
that
were
included
in
his
write-up
were
assessment
comparables,
and
we
respectfully
asked
the
board
to
confirm
the
2021
assessment.
A
I
mean
I'll
start.
I
mean
I
just
you
know
I
think
miss
shuttlesworth
kind
of
just
summed
it
up
right.
There
I
mean,
I
don't
feel
the
burden
of
proof
is
on
the
appellate.
I
don't
feel
like
anything
that
the
appellant
provided
makes
me
feel
that
it's
not
equalized
with
other
properties
on
purchases.
H
Yeah,
I
agree.
I
don't
think
in
this
case
that
there's
anything
that
you
know
catches
any
attention
to
make
any
reduction.
I
think
it's
the
increase
from
last
year
to
this
year
is
fair.
I
don't
really.
A
A
A
On
is
she
on
hi?
Yes,
okay,
perfect,
okay,
so
the
third
case
is
actually
the
fourth
on
the
agenda:
rpc,
one:
five:
zero,
zero,
seven,
six,
four,
nine
twenty
50
north
calvert
street-
and
we
have
miss
johnson
here
to
tell
us
about
her
property.
Ms
johnson,
you
can
start
with
your
eight
minutes
and
let
us
know
what
we
need
to
know.
I
I
Okay,
sorry,
so
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
me
read
through
my
documentation
about
my
condo.
I
refu.
I
I
received
the
letter
confirming
that
my
assessment
was
fair
and
equitable,
with
the
following
sales
at
the
bottom
provided,
and
I
actually
had
a
conversation
with
taffy
on
the
phone
asking
her
how
my
assessment
was
25
700
higher
than
the
highest
assessed
value,
and
she
let
me
know
that
they
had
it
had
to
do
with
square
footage,
and
I
let
her
know
that
106
has
a
second
bathroom
and
I
think
that
affects
price
pretty
significantly
in
harlington,
and
she
just
said
that
she
gave
me
the
numbers
between
the
9.75.
I
I
have
975
square
feet
versus
906
square
feet
and
it
was
like
I
was
in
a
certain
bracket
because
I
was
at
975
square
feet.
I
So
I
do
believe
that,
while
other
units
may
be
smaller
in
square
footage,
the
total
of
number,
the
total
number
of
bedrooms
and
bathrooms
and
outdoor
spaces
have
major
factors
when
selling
condos
and
in
the
next
slides.
I
just
I
show
a
couple
comparisons:
106
was
sold
for
400
000
and
assessed
at
374.5.
I
This
is
also
a
two
bedroom
two
bath
and
they
have
this
very
huge,
very
nice
outdoor
private
area
unit
210,
which
is
the
one
below
me,
is
a
thousand
square
feet
it
sold
for
400
000,
and
it's
assessed
at
the
same
amount
as
me.
I
I
That's
like
a
it's
almost
like
a
sun
room
and
it
opens
out
into
this
there.
They
have
a
private
walled
off
space.
I
There's
also
the
similar
size
condos
in
the
area
that
sold
recently
there's
one
at
three
thousand
spot
run:
parkway
it
sold
for
380,
and
it's
assessed
at
368.3.
That
square
footage
is
more
than
mine
and
it's
a
two
bedroom,
but
it's
a
two
bedroom
one
bath.
I
Another
two
bedroom
one
bath
at
1210,
north
taft,
is
a
thousand
sixteen
square
feet
and
it's
being
assessed
at
378.
and
then
another
at
1210
north
taft
assessed
at
382
and
that's
also
a
two
bedroom
one
bath.
I
also
wanted
to
kind
of
address
that,
like
with
kovid,
I
know
arlington
real
estate.
I
There
wasn't
much
on
the
market
and
condos
were
selling
very
very
quickly
and
the
condo
directly
above
me
only
sold
for
382
000,
and
that
unit
was
completely
remodeled
in
2019
and
the
owners
even
put
in
nice
new
hardwood
floors
right
before
they
sold
it
and
I
purchased
mine
in
2014
and
haven't
honestly
done
a
thing
to
it.
Probably
should.
But-
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
compare
from
what
my
assessment
history
has
what's
been
happening
under
two
years.
I
My
unit
jumped
by
40
000,
and
then
this
year
the
land
value
actually
increased
by
83,
so
it
went
from
35
1
to
64
4.
I
So
and
that's
what
bumped
me
up
to
the
402.,
I
think
location
is
a
big
factor
too,
because
the
building
is
directly
across
from
route
66,
and
I
mean
many
buyers
have
noted
concerns
about
the
noise.
I
Even
when
I've
tried
to
rent
my
unit,
people
come
in
and
they
want
to
see
how,
if
I
have
like
the
nice
windows
or
if
they
can
hear
a
lot
of
the
traffic
noise
and
because
all
of
the
bedroom
windows
face
the
traffic
side,
we're
also
on
top
of
a
river
which
requires
the
building
to
actually
spend
extra
money
for
flood
insurance,
and
that's
what's
been
increasing
our
condo
fees
every
year,
because
flood
insurance
keeps
getting
more
and
more
expensive
and
our
for
our
building.
That
has
no
amenities
at
all.
I
Our
hoa
is
360
and
it's
actually
going
to
start
increasing
soon
because
of
this
additional
requirement.
I
also
recently
refinanced,
my
condo
and
the
bank
even
only
evaluate
375
thousand.
I
I
included
the
the
bank
with
my
documents.
What
the
bank
said,
but
I
obviously
blurred
out
all
of
my
financial
information,
and
so
that
is
all
I
have.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
A
J
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
taffy
talaria
and
I
will
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
county
for
the
next
three
cases.
So
the
subject
is
unit
310
at
spout
run
terrace
condominium.
It
has
one
parking
space,
one
storage
unit,
it's
a
two
bedroom,
one
bathroom
976
square
foot
model.
On
the
third
floor.
J
The
pellet
did
send
in
some
pictures
of
the
interior.
The
photos
show
hardwood
flooring
throughout
a
renovated
kitchen
and
a
semi-updated
bathroom.
The
appellant
was
concerned
that
she
was
being
assessed
as
a
two-bedroom
two-bathroom
unit,
but,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
worksheet
included
in
your
packet,
the
property
record
appears
to
be
correct.
J
During
the
2021
analysis,
there
were
no
sales
of
the
exact
same
model
as
the
subject.
There
were
three
open
market
sales
during
our
analysis
in
this
neighborhood
unit,
404,
which
sold
on
march
18th
2020
for
374
thousand
dollars.
This
is
you.
This
unit
is
a
two
bedroom
one
bathroom
796
square
feet
unit.
It
has
hardwood
flooring,
updated
stainless
steel
appliances,
carpeted
bedrooms
and
an
updated
bathroom
unit,
304
sold
on
august
26
2020
for
360
thousand
dollars.
This
unit
is
also
a
two
bedroom.
J
J
The
subject
has
one
of
the
largest
square
footages
available
at
spout,
run
terrace
condominium
and
due
to
its
size,
the
model
has
the
second
highest
model
based
value
spout
run.
Terrace
is
a
very
small
condo
with
only
28
units,
and
there
are
only
two
other
units
with
the
same
model
assignment
as
the
subject
historically
spout
run.
Terrace
condo
generally
sees
little
to
no
changes
in
value
and
that
given
for
that
the
2021
analysis,
the
starting
median
ratio,
was
0.92.
J
A
5
increase
was
applied
to
all
units.
That's
about
run.
I
reviewed
all
of
the
sales
data
for
this
neighborhood
up
until
up
until
2016,
and
I
was
really
glad
that
the
appellant
pointed
out
a
jump
in
assessed
values
for
that
year.
So,
after
reviewing
the
analysis
completed
in
2016,
it
was
discovered
that
a
13
increase
was
applied
only
to
the
subject's
model
after
the
sale
of
unit
210,
which
sold
in
march
of
2015
for
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
J
J
It
also
appears
that
this
unit
recently
resold
in
january
of
2021
for
382
thousand
dollars,
as
stated
by
the
appellant
and
the
increase
applied
during
the
2016
assessment,
has
caused
the
values
to
be
a
bit
high.
Therefore,
the
department
is
asking
for
a
new
reduction
for
the
2021
assessment
to
bring
it
back
to
its
2020
assessment
value
of
384
200..
D
I
apologize
for
the
department
because
it's
not
on
our
sheet.
This
is
new
information.
You're
now
asking
us
to
return
it
to
the
2020
assessment,
be
crystal
level
because
it's
not
written.
A
No
okay,
miss
talaria.
J
Sure
I
asked
the
board
to
keep
in
mind
how.
G
J
I
I
just
had
one
other
comment
about
the
story.
I
know
that
you
just
said
that
there
was
a
storage
unit
taffy.
No,
none
of
the
units
have
storage
spaces
at
spout
run
just
as
an
fyi
for
as
a
note,
but
thank
you
for
listening
to
everything.
I
A
Thank
you
now,
it's
just
among
the
board.
A
F
A
All
right,
how
does
everybody
feel
about
what's
on
the
table
now.
H
I
think
that
was
gonna
be
my
first
suggestion
to
be
able
to
go
back
to
last
year's,
because
I
think
you
know
some
will
say
also
for
the
other
units
justify
the
reduction
so
yeah,
I'm
okay
with
it.
I'm
glad
this
state
area
really
did
a
good
presentation
on
it.
H
A
Okay,
so
it's
confirmed
to
the
county
reduced
number
of
384
200,
which
is
the
assessment
from
last
year.
Thank
you.
Miss
johnson.
A
No,
no
all
right,
then
we
will
go
to
miss
ross's
case,
which
is
the
third
on
the
agenda.
A
J
All
right,
the
subject
is
unit
a
at
the
fairlington
muse
neighborhood.
It
is
a
922
square,
foot,
townhouse
style
unit
with
two
bedrooms
and
one
bathroom.
It
is
classified
as
the
922
georgetown
model.
There
were
no
photos
submitted
by
by
the
appellant
and
we
did
not
conduct
an
interior
inspection.
The
unit
sold
during
our
2020
analysis
period
on
april
15
2019
for
381
thousand
dollars,
based
on
the
last
listing
photos.
The
unit
includes
newly
refinished
hardwood
flooring,
recessed
lighting,
some
updates
in
the
bathroom,
including
a
new
vanity
and
marble
top
sink.
J
The
kitchen
is
not
an
original
1940s
condition,
but
it
does
appear
to
be
outdated.
Unfortunately,
this
year
we
did
not
have
any
sales
of
the
same
model
as
the
subject
in
her
neighborhood.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
922
georgetown
model
is
pretty
rare
at
fairlington
muse,
since
there
are
only
three
other
units
that
are
exactly
like
the
subject.
J
J
All
market
evidence
indicated
a
change
was
necessary
and
all
models
increased
in
order
to
keep
model
values
consistent
after
reviewing
after
further
reviewing
information
that
we
had
for
this
case,
I
would
like
to
point
out
a
correction
to
the
comp
sheet
presented
by
our
department
on
the
living
area
square
footages.
The
data
polled
only
appears
to
reflect
above
ground
above
ground
square
footages,
meaning
that,
for
example,
when
looking
at
comp
1
the
total
living
area
square
footage
should
be
1490
square
feet.
J
So
it
would
be
wrong
to
infer
that
a
smaller
unit
is
sell
selling
for
more
than
the
subject.
Comps
two
and
three
should
reflect
fifteen
hundred
square
feet
rather
than
a
thousand.
Furthermore,
we
took
a
second
look
at
the
analysis
for
fairlington
villages
and
fairlington
muse
and
the
comps
presented
by
the
appellant.
J
The
sales
that
occurred
in
fairlington
villages,
which
is
a
comparable
neighborhood,
showed
a
total
of
three
open
market
sales.
During
our
analysis,
which
sold
for
405
400,
000
and
410
000.
for
the
2021
analysis
year,
we
looked
at
each
neighborhood
individually,
but
given
the
limited
amount
of
sales,
we
require
the
use
of
more
data
points,
which
is
why
we
are
considering
the
sales
at
fairlington
villages.
J
The
main
difference
between
purchasing
a
georgetown
unit
at
farrellington,
villages
versus
farrellington
muse
would
be
the
monthly
condo
fee
which
were
337
and
270
respectively,
but
they
both
share
the
same
amenities.
Those
were
the
condo
fees
listed
on
the
sales
listings
at
this
time
of
sale
at
fairlington
muse,
out
of
277
total
units.
There
are
only
four
units
that
are
classified
as
the
922
georgetown.
This
model
is
more
rare
than
at
fairlington
villages
where
there
are
four
times
the
amount
of
units
that
are
this
exact
model.
J
We
also
reviewed
past
sales
data
for
fairlington
muse,
which
showed
two
georgetown
model
sales
in
2019
that
sold
for
three
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
and
four
hundred
ten
thousand
seven.
Fifty
the
latter
sale
appeared
to
be
more
updated
than
most
in
2018
we
had
one
georgetown
sale
that
sold
for
362
thousand.
J
Given
the
market
evidence
presented,
the
department
asked
for
a
new
reduction
to
the
subject.
Instead
of
the
original
base
model
value
of
370
000,
the
department
asked
for
a
reduction
to
match
the
fairlington
villages
base
model
value
of
353
300.
This
would
lower
the
12
increase
to
a
near
seven
percent
increase
and
would
grant
the
subject
a
total
reduction
of
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars,
bringing
the
total
assessed
value
to
four
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars.
Six
hundred
this
reduction
would
bring
the
values
closer
in
line
between
fairlington
muse
and
the
other
fairlington
neighborhoods.
J
So
we
have,
like
you,
said,
seven
different
fairlington
neighborhoods,
and
when
we
look
at
when
we
do
our
analysis,
we
look
at
each
one
of
them
individually.
They're
all
similar.
Some
of
them
have
the
same
style
of
models,
so
this
georgetown
model
also
exists
at
fairlington
commons
and
farlington
greens
and
fairlington
villages.
Burlington
villages
was
the
only
other
neighborhood
that
had
sales
for
her
exact
model,
which
we
didn't
see
at
the
muse.
D
D
A
J
A
H
Well
I'll
start,
I
think
you
know
when
I
read
the
package
that
was.
That
was
the
first
thing
that
came
to
my
attention
that
you
know
I
myself
don't
see
any
difference
between
both
apparently
twin
villages
and
fairly
to
muse,
even
though
the
condo
fee
varies
a
little
bit,
but
I
see
that
most
of
the
time
it
does
not
affect
that
much
the
sales
prices.
H
Sometimes
it
goes
either
way
up
or
down,
because
there's
not
much
difference,
I
mean
if
there
were
two
or
three
hundred
dollars
per
month
and
kind
of
piece
that
maybe
but
yeah
again,
I'm
glad
that
miss
taylor.
I
really
brought
this
up
and
made
the
adjustment
because
I
think
it's
my
adjustment
was
going
to
be
a
little
bit
higher
than
hers,
but
I'm
I'm
good
with
it.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
The
only
comment
that
I
would
make
is
what
jose
just
said:
condo
fees
changed
through
the
years
and
you
know
my
personal
condominium.
They
were
way
too
light
on
the
fees
and
all
of
a
sudden
we
caught
a
little
bit
short,
and
so
the
fees
had
to
go
up
and
once
we
get
back
to
where
we
ought
to
be
they'll,
probably
go
back
down.
So
I
I
think
the
condo
fees
really
shouldn't
have
that
much
impact,
and
I'm
good
with
the
suggestion
by
the
county.
A
A
A
G
J
Sure
the
subject
is
unit
553
at
the
eclipse
on
center
park
in
crystal
city
in
the
crystal
city
area.
It
is
a
two
bedroom,
two
bathroom
with
958
square
feet
facing
the
east.
It
contains
two
parking
spaces
and
one
storage
unit,
and
it
is
located
on
the
fifth
floor.
The
department
received
no
photos
of
the
interior,
but
based
on
the
recent
sales
listing,
the
kitchen
appears
to
have
some
remodel.
The
bathroom
is
well
kept
and
it
has
hardwood
flooring.
J
Some
of
the
other
sales
that
happened
at
the
eclipse
included
unit
1117
west,
which
sold
on
january
28
2020
for
767
5500.
That's
a
two
bed,
two
bath
1164
square
foot
unit.
The
unit
appears
to
have
original
fixtures
and
includes
minor
updates,
such
as
updated
lighting
and
custom
curtains.
It
also
has
an
extensive
balcony
unit.
651,
which
sold
on
june
25th
2020
for
790
thousand
dollars.
This
unit
sits
on
the
sixth
floor
and
has
1252
square
feet.
J
The
unit
contains
some
minor
updates
and
it
sits
on
the
first
floor.
Therefore,
there
is
no
view
adjustment
or
floor
adjustment
like
the
subject.
It
also
contains
one
less
parking
space
and
therefore
is
currently
assessed
at
559
000.
For
the
2021
analysis,
the
two
bedroom
units
received
a
20
increase
to
their
model
based
values.
While
all
other
units
went
up,
18
ratios
all
around
were
much
lower
and
despite
our
increase,
the
ending
median
ratio
was
0.925.
J
This
is
what
granted
the
increases
for
2021
the
appellant
consistently
refers
to
inequities
between
her
unit
and
others,
but
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
neighboring
unit
554,
is
currently
assessed
at
the
same
value
of
629
thousand
dollars.
All
exact
models
that
are
that
are
like
hers,
range
slightly,
depending
on
their
current
floor
adjustments.
The
subject's
model
only
exists
east
side
facing
in
her
tower
and
is
only
available
on
floors.
One
through
six.
J
The
best
comp
for
the
property
is
the
property
itself.
The
subject
was
purchased
for
six
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
dollars
during
our
analysis
period
and
is
now
assessed
at
six
hundred
and
twenty
nine
thousand
dollars.
It
is
still
its
asses
that
less
than
purchase
price.
That
is
why
the
department
kindly
asks
the
board
to
please
confirm
the
assessment
at
629
000
as
fair
and
equitable.
H
Yeah,
I
only
have
one
for
the
county,
the
view
value
what
floor
does
that
start
on
and
what
is
because.
I
noticed
that
you
know
unit
the
comparable
number
two.
J
So
there's
five
view
values
right
now.
Currently,
it's
not
based
on
floor.
It's
actually
based
on
what
they're
seeing
she
has
the
monument
capital
view,
which
is
the
highest
view
value
possible,
which
is
the
25
000
other
things
that
would
attribute
to
a
view
valley
would
be
the
river
if
it's
a
good
view,
if
it's
an
average
view
for
the
river
or
if
it's
just
a
plain
river
view,
and
if
they're
on
the
other
side
facing
route
one,
there
is
a
negative
view.
Adjustment
of
ten
thousand
dollars.
A
J
So
for
comb
three,
there
is
a
base
value
of
476
500.
That
would
be
the
same
as
the
subject:
property
and
there's
only
an
added
value
for
parking
of
25
000
dollars,
which
brings
us
to
the
501.5
for
building
and
the
land
is
at
57.5.
That's
how
we
get
to
the
559.
J
G
I'm
sorry
mary,
this
is
deidre.
The
kind
of
supervisor
can
I
just
add
in
that
the
floor,
there
were
three
adjustments
for
oh.
A
J
A
H
I
I
did
the
same
exact
thing
and
I
double
checked
and
when
you
asked
the
question
it
was
like
where's,
the
other
number
but
yeah
they're.
All
there,
I'm
good
with
it.
A
A
I
just
have
one
thing
on
the
scheduling
so
moving
forward,
so
we
don't
have
to
do
a
lot
of
emails
back
and
forth
that
we
are
going
to
be
meeting
on
tuesdays
and
wednesdays
because
of
the
volume
of
cases
that
we
have
and
so,
rather
than
normally
like
last
year,
I
would
send
out
something
before
each
month
saying:
are
you
available,
and
rather
than
do
that,
I'm
going
to
assume
everybody
is
available
for
the
tuesdays
and
wednesdays?
A
If
you
know,
for
some
reason
that
you're
traveling
and
going
to
be
gone
and
not
going
to
be
able
to
participate,
if
you
could
just
let
me
know
as
soon
as
you
know,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
a
quorum
because
again,
based
on
the
volume
these
slots
are
going
to
fill
up
and
keep
us
going
well
into
october.
If
some
of
them
don't
settle,
you
know
either
we'll
have
to
increase
the
number
per
day
or
increase
the
number
of
hearings,
so
just
want
to
keep
that
on
everybody's
radar.
F
A
A
Then
we
are
finished
for
today,
we'll
adjourn
10,
13
and
re-adjourn
tomorrow
morning
at
9am,
and
hopefully
mr
hoffman
will
be
right
in
there
with
us
a
few
minutes
after
all.
Right
thank.
