A
Good
morning
this
is
the
June
16th
2020
first
meeting
of
the
Arlington
County
Board
of
Equalization.
The
first
case
on
the
agenda
that
will
here
is
our
PC
one:
four,
zero,
two
zero
one,
one:
three:
the
property
located
at
1050,
North,
Taylor
Street,
mr.
Richard
Brinley,
is
the
appellant
and
mr.
Brindley.
You
can
start
with
your
eight
minutes
to
tell
us
about
the
case.
D
E
B
That's
not
what
I
sent
and
I
have
a
receipt
from
the
post
office.
I
sent
you
the
cover
sheet.
That
said,
see
attached
photographs
and
remarks.
They
were
all
together
in
one
envelope
sent
on
the
14th
of
April
and
what
I
have
seen
in
the
emails
only
doesn't
even
have
the
correct
document
that
I
sent
in
for
the
equalization
assessment
appeal.

Okay,
here
we
go
how's
that
better,
yes,
okay,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
hear
my
case.
I'll
jump
right
into
it
and
first
I
will
I
will
preface
this
by
saying
that
my
career
is
has
been
spent
in
the
valuation
of
businesses,
I,
work
in
mergers
and
acquisitions.
So
I
fully
appreciate
and
respect
the
the
fact
that
valuing
assets
of
any
kind
is
a
bit
more
of
a
of
an
art
than
a
science.
P
P
Two
of
them
are
very
relevant,
similar
size,
similar
layout
things
that
you
would
expect
when
you're
looking
at
the
valuation,
the
middle
comp
I
didn't
believe,
was
at
all
comparable.
Frankly,
because
it
was
a
brand
new
house
inside
it
was
super
high-end
appliances,
brand
new,
you
know,
wood
floors,
the
interior
was
entirely
gutted
and
it
was
a
brand-new
house
during
my
conversation
with
with
miss
Vitas
on
April
first
before
peeling
to
this
board,
she
looked
at
it
and
she
seemed
to
agree
and
said
that
yeah
you
know
that
actually
is
brand-new.
P
So
that's
you
know
from
a
comparable
perspective.
That's
the
first
point.
You
know
over
the
past
five
years,
I've
actually
felt
that
the
property
assessment
was
off
for
a
couple
years,
but
it
wasn't
until
this
year
really,
where
I
felt
like
that.
You
know
that
that
typical
slight
discount
between
valuation
and
assessment,
completely
sort
of
inverted,
where
I
actually
think
the
value
of
the
home,
the
market
value,
is
lower
than
the
assessment.
P
And
you
know
over
the
past
five
years
my
assessment
has
risen
faster
than
the
average
single
family
family
home
appreciation
for
Arlington
and
also
faster
than
the
immediately
adjacent
properties
on
either
side
of
me.
So
you
know
I
listed
here
in
the
middle,
my
home
in
the
assessments
over
the
past
five
years
in
the
annual
growth
from
that
versus
the
two
adjacent
homes.
I
didn't
put
the
addresses
because
I
didn't
want
to
call
them
out,
but
it's
jacent
home
number
one
and
number
two.
As
you
can
see
this,
the
overall
assessed
value.
P
The
growth
has
risen
much
more
quickly
in
the
magnitude
of
the
variance
between
the
two
which
are
very
similar
homes.
You
know,
in
fact,
one
home,
one
adjacent
home
is
actually
larger
than
mine.
The
other
one
is
slightly
smaller
because
they
have
an
unfinished
basement,
so
it
doesn't
count
in
the
square
footage,
but
when
you
walk
in
there
really
is
no
material
difference.
P
Likewise,
my
lot
size
is,
admittedly,
a
couple
thousand
square
feet
larger
than
theirs,
but
you
really
can't
even
tell
because
of
the
layout
there's
a
very
steep
slope
in
the
back
where,
if
you
are
looking
from
the
naked
eye,
you
would
think
the
homes
are
nearly
identical,
which
makes
sense
because
they
were
built
the
same
year,
probably
the
home
builder.
So
my
home
has
an
11
percent
premium
on
it,
which
I,
don't
believe
is
warranted.
P
Just
coincidentally,
because
of
the
low
race
I
decided
to
refinance
my
mortgage
and
I
started
this
process
two
months
ago.
My
lender
is
Loan
Depot,
it's
a
top
10
mortgage
originator
in
the
country,
just
behind
Bank
of
America.
They
do
something
like
30
billion
dollars
of
loan
origination
and
they
had
to
as
part
of
this
process,
appraised
my
property
value
to
determine
loan-to-value
and
other
characteristics
that
they
need.
P
P
Their
estimated
property
value
was
nine
hundred
ninety
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
nine
dollars
so
why
they
didn't
just
do
a
million
dollars?
I,
don't
I
don't
know,
but
that
was
their
assessment,
and
so
it's
obviously
very
different
and
they
didn't
share
with
me
a
full
twenty
page
appraisal,
but
they
have
their
own
valuation
assessment
criteria,
and
this
is
what
they
came
up
and
this
is
a
company.
That's
you
know
that
is
one
of
the
leaders
in
loan
origination,
so
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
to
keep
in
mind
as
well.
P
P
Then,
then,
is
justified
again.
You
know.
I
only
took
this
because
I
I
think
it's
inverted.
It's
now
boarded
where,
where
I
believe
the
market
value
is
below
the
assessment,
value
and
I,
don't
think
that
that
is
fair
to
you
know
from
a
tax
perspective,
so
I
will
leave
that
I
will
leave
it
at
that
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
your
attention.
Today.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Miss
vadas
hi.
N
Good
morning,
so
the
properties
of
Brix
level
built
in
1960
been
infected.
An
effective
age
of
1990,
the
home
is
five
bedrooms
and
three
full
baths.
When
submitting
their
original
appeal.
The
appellant
felt
that
their
property
has
structural
maintenance
issues
and
should
not
result
in
their
incessant
and
their
assessment
increase.
They
also
believe
that
the
slope
and
the
presence
of
the
County
sewer
in
their
backyard
for
come
from
any
future
modifications
and
should
be
compared
differently
than
other
laws.
N
An
inspection
was
conducted
on
March
13th
and
the
only
change
made
was
the
removal
of
one
bedroom
which
had
no
effect
on
the
overall
assessment
during
the
interior
inspection,
the
appellant
adjusts
several
of
the
structural
maintenance
issues,
all
of
which
were
deferred
maintenance.
The
overall
condition
of
the
property
is
in
line
with
the
year
built
of
nineteen
sixty
and
an
effective
and
effective
age
of
nineteen.
Ninety,
when
considering
the
appellant
issue
with
land,
the
county
only
values
what
exists
on
the
current
lot
and
not
the
potential
use
of
additions
or
new
construction.
N
N
This
lot
is
significantly
smaller
than
the
average
lot
in
the
500
303
for
neighborhood,
but
it
is
large
in
the
two
neighboring
properties
by
more
than
two
thousand
square
feet.
The
subjects
home
is
also
more
than
seven
hundred
square
feet
of
spinach
base
than
both
neighboring
properties.
Both
both
neighboring
properties
experienced
increases
to
land
and
improvements
like
the
subjects
and
relative
relative
to
their
respective
improvement
and
land
size.
After
completing
the
inspection
reviewing
the
information
submitted,
they
bring
assessments
and
comparable
sales
in
the
neighborhood.
N
Q
So
the
base
value
in
that
neighborhood,
I'm,
Derek,
EBA,
I'm,
the
resident
appraiser
supervisor
and
the
base
value
in
the
subjects
neighborhood
is
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
home
site.
He
is
right
there
at
the
average
home
site
in
the
neighborhood.
If
you
see
his
worksheet
right
in
the
packet,
it's
page
nine
of
40,
that's
his
residential
worksheet
and
you'll,
see
that
these
fifteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
four
square
feets
all
right.
Q
The
subject
is:
fifteen
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
four
square
feet
and
the
average
lot
size
and
there's
fifteen
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
square
feet.
So
we
apply
that
base
value
across
the
board
and
we
either
add
to
or
subtract
depending
on
the
size
of
your
property
and
in
this
case
he's
just
below
it.
So
we
subtracted
one
thousand
off
of
that
base
and
he's
that
seven
hundred
and
forty
nine
thousand
so
no
land
has
no
values,
essentially
been
added
for
any
excess
land.
J
M
N
M
But
can
I
follow
up,
but
but
yeah
not
the
absolute
dollars,
but
the
percentage
increase
I
mean
I.
Assume
his
base
from
make
up
a
number
of
four
years
ago
was
a
little
larger
higher
than
the
neighbors,
because
they
have
larger
house
and
and
so
forth,
but
the
percentage
the
last
two
years
I
mean
the
percent.
If
you
start
off
at
a
larger
base,
the
same
percentage,
his
absolute
dollar
amount
would
go
up
naturally,
but
this
is
a
double
whammy.
It
seems.
N
N
So
the
lot
I
believe
on
the
left
of
him,
which
would
be
four
zero:
zero.
Three
zero
ten
has
an
effective
age
at
nineteen
eighty,
which
is
ten
years
less
than
the
appellant
and
the
other
lot,
which
is
zero.
Four
zero:
three
zero,
twelve
as
an
effective
age
of
nineteen
fifty-nine,
which
is
significantly
lower.
N
So
it
was
not
a
brand
new
home
I
just
had
several
updates
given
to
it.
So
when
looking
at
the
comp
sheet
you
can
you
can
see
that
no
house
is
exactly
the
same
as
the
appellant
house.
The
reason
I
chose
those
comps,
which
was
because
I
believe
that
all
of
them
demonstrated
a
fair
market
value
across
the
board
and
demonstrates
equalization
and
how
the
appellant
house
falls
in
line
with
sales
in
the
area.
N
P
P
According
to
the
Arlington
real
estate
assessment
website,
the
the
one
that
actually
is
one
of
the
adjacent
properties
is
actually
larger
than
mine
by
two
hundred
square
feet
and
again,
I
brought
up
the
fact
that
the
backyard,
because
I
don't
think
it
is
appropriate
from
a
market
perspective
to
take
a
formula
one
formula
and
simply
apply
it
to
every
every
home
and
say
well:
you've
got
15,000
square
feet.
Therefore,
you
have
xx
dollars
extra
again.
P
The
final
point
that
I
think
is
important
is
I,
have
a
nationally
recognized
firm
that
does
valuations
for
purposes
of
refinance
and
they
valued
it
significantly
lower,
and
that
was
an
independent
third
party
that
that
came
to
a
very
different
conclusion
than
the
department
real
estate
assessments
by
Arlington.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Now,
it's
the
discussion
is
just
among
board
members,
so
everybody
else
needs
to
refrain
from
speaking
so
comments.
H
H
A
Okay,
I'll
jump
in
there
after
you
my
concern
on
the
appraised
value,
which
you
know,
I
used
the
word
appraised
loosely
from
the
CD.
You
know
when
mortgage
companies-
and
yes
this
is
a
very
large
mortgage
company
and
they
do
a
lot
of
lending
nationwide.
A
The
purpose
is
for
lending
not
for
tax
assessments,
so
myself,
I
don't
put
a
lot
of
weight
on
a
CD
value.
That
says,
you
know
less
than
a
million
dollars
without
seeing
how
that
actually
was.
You
know,
determined
know.
So
you
know
I,
don't
know.
I,
what
does
everybody
else
feel
about
the
comparables
that
the
county
used.
J
On
the
house
that
was
indicated
to
be
brand-new,
it
could
have
been
a
situation
where
the
builder
gutted
it
and
for
whatever
reason,
left
the
walls
in
place
due
to
setback
sir
or
whatever
so
I.
Would
you
know
I,
don't
know
that
we'll
get
the
answer
today,
but
I'd
be
interested
to
know
if
if
they
had
to
get
an
see,
sometimes
when
there's
a
house
fire
or
something
like
that,
the
damage
is
enough
that
you
need
a
new
certificate
of
occupancy
I.
J
Don't
know
that
we
know
today
whether
that
was
obtained
or
not,
but
I
think
studying
at
home
would
be
pretty
much
the
same
as
a
new,
so
I
would
tend
to
discount
that
I'm
kind
of
where
Jose
was
I
was
initially
thinking.
There
should
be
a
reduction
after
going
through
it
I'm,
not
sure
that
I'm
there.
Thank
you.
L
See
it
is
the
land
values
a
little
bit
higher
it's
a
little
more
land,
but
I
also
look
at
the
fact
that
the
easements
and
things
are
restricting
the
you
know
additional
use
of
that
land.
I.
Do
you
know
it's
an
impact
and
then
offset
I
think
it
should
offset
the
the
size
difference
of
the
lot,
because
the
lot
is
valued
higher
because
it
is
more
land
but
I'm
not
sure
it's
all
the
same
usability.
J
A
Right,
in
addition,
I
mean
the
fact
that
you
may
not
have
buildable
space
and
there
is
the
question
of
utility
which
I
agree
with,
but
you
also
have
a
buffer,
then
of
additional
space
between
you
and
neighbors,
which
Jose
you
may
want
to
comment
more
on
that
from
a
standpoint
of
marketability.
But
that
is
a
factor
for
some
buyers,
so
I.
H
G
M
Raskin
I
would
add
on
precisely
you
would
Jose
said
that,
furthermore,
in
such
a
large
lot,
County
wouldn't
allow
50
60
70
percent
coverage
such
that
wouldn't
be
able
to
build
on
the
slope
when
he
wanted
to.
If
it
were
flat,
we
couldn't
build
on
that
area
back
there,
just
my
County
code,
so
the
other
point
I
was
thinking
was
I.
Looked
again
at
the
the
comparables
that
the
the
department
brought
to
bear
and
I
see
the
comparables
two
and
three
are
the
Lots
are
about
almost
the
third
smaller
but
and
I.
M
Don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
now
because
I'm
afraid
to
lose
you,
but
the
the
value
of
the
assessed
value
of
the
land
wasn't
anywhere
near
a
third
less
all
right,
so
I'm
I'm,
not
so,
and
I
know
we
stair
step
it
up,
and
each
additional
square
foot
of
land
is
worth
less
than
the
one
before
it,
but
it
it
seems.
I
was
with
the
originals
that
maybe
this
oughta
go
down,
but
now
I
can't
make
a
case
for
it.
Okay,.
H
J
A
A
F
H
H
H
R
R
I'm
no
expert,
I,
really
don't
know
very
much
about
real
estate,
but
and
assessments
in
general,
but
I
wanted
to
make
a
few
points
to
you
this
morning,
all
the
beautiful
trees
behind
our
house
are
gone
since
August
of
2019,
and
during
that
time
our
our
assessment
follow
all
of
the
that
these
were
not
our
trees.
They
were
the
trees
on
the
neighboring
lot,
but
my
house
is
oriented
towards
the
back
entirely.
R
R
So
that
includes
my
master
bedroom.
My
master
bathroom,
my
dining
room,
my
living
room,
my
kitchen,
everything,
that's
everywhere,
where
we
live
so
we'll
be,
you
know
having
to
have
people
peering
at
us
and
will
appear
in
it
them
the
county.
Told
me
a
trusted
taught
me
that
the
county
assessment
process
doesn't
place.
We
value
on
fries
or
greengooz,
but
I.
You
know
I,
you
know
it.
They
call
it
an
intangible
that,
frankly,
it's
not
really
an
intangible.
There
is
a
way
to
do
this.
R
Of
course
your
evaluation
wouldn't
change,
and
then
thirdly,
the
comparables
were
chosen.
Didn't
have
again,
you
know,
they're
green
private
use
with
ripped
away
so
they're,
not
really
true,
comparables,
so
I'm
not
saying
that
the
value
should
go
down
forever.
I,
just
don't
feel
that
you
know
you
know
within
five
to
ten
years.
If
we
manage
to
get
our
green
private
few
back
there,
then.
R
H
N
Sorry
forgot
to
turn
my
mic
back
on
Geraldine's.
At
the
request
of
the
only
owner,
only
an
exterior
inspection
was
conducted
during
the
inspection
of
the
subject,
property
on
March
6
2020.
It
was
observed
that
the
trees
were
removed
from
the
neighboring
property,
but
no
trees
have
been
removed
from
the
subject
property
due
to
the
removal
of
the
trees
at
3,
865,
North,
River
Street
for
the
construction
of
several
new
homes.
The
appellant
feels
that
the
value
of
the
home
is
decrease.
N
The
assessor's
office
does
not
recognize
temporary
construction
sites
on
neighboring
properties
when
determining
values,
as
Arlington
has
many
instances
of
tree
removal
and
new
construction
occurring
across
the
county
at
any
given
time.
The
county
that
also
does
not
place
a
premium
on
properties
that
border
wooded
Lots.
While
investigating
this
case.
We
conducted
a
review
of
several
sales
around
the
county
of
properties
also
near
construction
sites,
but
found
no
evidence
of
an
impact
on
values.
N
Nor
has
any
adjustments
been
made
for
any
other
property
that
borders
construction,
Arlington
County
is
considered
a
densely
populated
urban
area
where
construction
wouldn't,
where
construction
and
scarcity
of
land
are
prevalent.
Based
on
this
information,
the
county
recommends:
that's
a
2028
assessment,
be
confirmed
at
1
million
80926.
C
C
H
M
R
But
that
hasn't
gone
before
the
board.
And
it's
going
to
take
several
years.
I
think
before
we
get.
You
know
some
trees.
First
of
all,
if
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals
agrees
to
allow
them
to
move
the
houses,
because
it
means
that
they
have
to
move
them
closer
to
the
street
and
the
25
feet
is
required
from
the
front
of
their
Street
of
their
houses.
These
houses
are
well
the
house.
R
Next,
to
me,
that
will
be
next
to
me
is
approximately
three
times
the
size
of
my
house
and
it's
windows
look
straight
into
all
of
my
windows,
so
without
those
trees,
neither
one
of
us
has
any
privacy
whatsoever.
So
right
now
I
mean
you
know
no
privacy,
because
no
trees,
eventually
even
worse,
because
we'll
have
a
house
three
times
the
size
of
ours
going
straight
into
ours
and
us
looking
straight
at
them.
H
K
I
just
go
back
to
the
parents
point
if
I
understood
it
regarding
the
way
you
assess
the
county,
assesses
condo
buildings
and
they
do
create
a
different
depending
on
the
type
of
the
floor
that
the
condo
is
on
and
they
do
account
for
the
views
and
those
condos
and
add
value
or
detract
value
is.
Do
you
have
anything
to
say
about
that?.
R
Q
I
can
also
help
with
that
too.
Condominiums
are
based
on
the
sales
comparison
approach
because
they
are
so
similar
improvement,
wise
and
the
differences
between
the
improvements
and
the
Lots
and
the
layout
of
the
Lots.
Besides
the
Lots
those
things
just
they
aren't
there
in
the
condos.
So
it's
easy
to
kind
of
compare
those
just
on
the
sales
comparison
approach
and
when
you
do
have
something
like
a
view
on
a
condo
or
an
apartment.
It
stands
out
a
lot
more
and
it's
easy
to
find
in
the
data.
Q
It's
easy
to
tell
there's
something
selling
ten
percent
more
because
of
where
it's
located
on
a
building,
because
the
improvements
are
you
know
exactly
the
same,
but
in
this
case
we
looked
at
a
lot
of
instances
around
the
county,
there's
one
in
East
Falls
Church,
where
they
did
a
big
development
behind
a
bunch
of
houses
and
we
kind
of
dug
into
the
data
there
and
we
didn't
see
anything
and
we
weren't
provided
anything
to
give
us.
You
know
we
do.
We
do
Studies
on
impacts
of
surroundings
such
as
like
busy
streets
where
we
can.
Q
C
You
know
neighborhoods
and
areas
in
Arlington,
where
this
has
happened
before,
where
you've
got
like
an
older
house
with
a
bunch
of
trees
and
around
it
and
they
were
torn
down
and
then
maybe
you
got
four
or
five
new
houses
to
try
to
see
if
there
was
some
data
that
could
support
your
case,
and
you
know,
I
wasn't
able
to
find
a
good
example
of
that
where
you
know
there
was
a
immediate
decline
and
you
know
demonstrated
sales
prices
on
the
neighborhood
part
of
that
is
I'm.
Guessing
some
of
this.
C
So
it's
hard
to
see
where
you
know
there
would
be
an
immediate
decline,
but
I
didn't
know
if
you
had
looked
at
any
other
areas
in
Arlington
where
this
has
happened
or
where
something
similar
it
happened,
and
you
had
any
data
that
you
could
kind
of
talk
about,
or
you
know,
even
if
it's
just
a
general
location
where
you
could
kind
of
explain
the
similar
thing.
It
happened.
R
Well,
I
think
I,
don't
I
mean
like
I,
said:
I've
got
no
expertise
in
this
area,
but
I
would
say
that
most
people
in
all
of
us
who
are
in
this
neighborhood.
We
all
agreed
that
you
know
there's
no
way
that
we
were
gonna
put
our
houses
on
the
market
at
this
point
in
time,
because
we
know
we
just
know
that
the
value
that
we
can
get
for
them
right
now,
it's
gonna
be
lower
and
it's
just
it's
kind
of
common
sense
to
everybody.
We
amongst
our
group.
R
It's
the
style
of
the
house,
as
you
can
see,
and
the
value
of
our
house
is
the
connection
between,
and
you
know
it's
the
Frank
Lloyd
Wright.
That's
the
value
of
the
connection
between
nature
and
the
internal
part
of
the
house
and
that's
the
entire
reason
we
bought
the
house,
and
so
that's
where
the
value
of
this
house
lies.
I
mean
it's
an
old
house
and
it
needs
work
on
the
inside,
etc,
and
but
so
it's
certainly
not
gonna
sell
for
the
premium.
R
That
I
think
you
guys
have
placed
on
it
just
by
virtue
of
being
in
a
neighborhood
where
we're
the
smallest
house
and
everybody
else
around
us
is
bigger
and
well
here.
Oh
again
I
mean
you
know
this.
This
is
a
reflection
to
of
Arlington's
values
in
the
end
and
what
kind
of
development
we
want
to
have
around
here
and
what
kinds
of
codes
we're
gonna
allow
the
these
developers
to
get
away
with.
R
Where
there
is
absolutely
you
know,
people
are
filling
out
to
the
absolute
edge
of
the
building
envelope
with
no
thought
you
know,
I
mean
big
house
is
essentially
you
know
it's
it's
not
that
it's
entirely
density
here,
I
mean
yet.
Yes,
four
people
can
own
houses
in
in
that
area
now.
But
you
know
who
needs
a
six
thousand
five
hundred
square
foot
house.
Most
of
these
people
have
don't
have
you
know
you
know
six
children
to
go
with
all
that.
R
It's
I
just
you
know
it's
frustrate.
It's
very
frightening.
Just
seen
my
taxes
go
up
this
year.
It's
it's
sort
of
you
know
an
additional
salt
in
the
wound,
after
what's
happening
in
the
back
of
my
house,
so
I
just
don't
understand
how
you
could
put
my
taxes
up
I'm,
given
a
situation
yeah
eventually,
if
we
can
get
the
green
space
back,
I
fully
support
that,
because
the
value
of
my
house
would
come
back,
it's
not.
R
We
don't
have
a
little
colonial
box
where
you
know
people
have
windows
on
all
sides,
etc
and
no
orientation
towards
the
outside
and
all
the
orientations
towards
inside
of
the
house,
our
house,
the
value
it
is
again
the
connection
between
the
inside
and
the
outside
the
green
space.
It's
gone,
okay
realize
it's
an
emotional
appeal,
but.
C
N
N
H
R
H
S
Right
you
know,
I
was
looking
at
it
first
from
a
standpoint
of
the.
C
S
C
Super
sympathetic
towards
the
cause,
my
gut
says
that
you
know
it's
gonna,
take
some
time
to
regrow
the
trees
and
all
that
and
ultimately
it's
you
know.
We
all
hope
that
the
buildings
that
go
next
door
are
I,
don't
know
better
than
what
they
look
like
on
paper
right
now.
But
that's
you
know
time
will
tell
I
think
what
if
I
could
give
any
advice
right
now,
I
would
say,
since
miss
mccurdy
you're
not
coming
from
a
real
estate
background.
C
So
I
guess,
if
I
had
any
advice,
I
would
say
to
come
back,
maybe
next
year
with
some
data
or
some
comparable
sales
that
might
even
show
a
decline
on
anything.
You
know
I
realize
that
maybe
there's
only
12
houses
affected,
so
you
might
not
get
a
comfortable
sale,
but
maybe
you
could
pull
an
area
in
the
county
where
something
similar
has
happened.
C
You
could
get
an
appraisal,
make
sure
it's
an
independent
appraisal
or
not.
You
know
a
mortgage
company,
that's
just
trying
to
get
a
loan,
but
you
know
appraiser
or
a
broker
real
estate
brokers,
opinion
a
value
or
something
like
that
that
that
demonstrate
to
us
here's
what
a
professional
in
the
real
estate
industry
is
telling
you
this
house
would
sell
for
today.
That
rings
true
with
me
and
everybody
kind
of
has
that
puts
their
own
weight
on
the
different
sides
of
appraisal.
C
There's
different,
you
know
it's
a
it's
a
multi-faceted
thing:
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
fair
market
value.
You
use
a
lot
of
different
variables,
but
I
would
say
if
you
could,
if
you
could
come
back
with
something
tangible
from
the
real
estate
industry,
on
what
the
actual
sales
price
might
be,
I,
don't
think
it's
a
50,
that's
just
my
opinion.
I,
don't
think
the
Department
believes
its
850.
That's
what
you've
got
in
there.
M
I'd
like
to
add
on
to
the
next
year,
thought
I'd
like
to
see
if
the
new,
the
closest
new
house
is
built
exactly
with
the
8
foot.
Setback
or
maybe
VCA
affects
your
point
of
view
and
ought
to
get
back
some
more
so
that
there's
a
reasonable
chance
for
some
tree
curtain.
If
that's
a
word
between
the
two
houses
Ewers
and
the
new
one,
if
the
answer
is
no
BCA
doesn't
get
its
way
and
the
developer
does-
and
maybe
then
maybe
there
might
be
some
additional
case
for
encroachment
ago.
M
Having
said
that,
of
course,
if
this
were
next
year,
I'd
say
well,
they
built
you
know
with
the
8
foot,
side,
setback
and
that's
the
way
things
are
in
Arlington
and
unfortunately
you
don't
have
relief,
but
you
know,
maybe
with
some
additional
data
you
might
be
able
to
get
some
relief,
but
now
it's
prospective
and
in
the
current
situation
of
construction
going
on
about
to
go
on
around,
you
is
just
living
in
a
if
somebody
said
before.
Just
an
urban,
dense
area
and
and
relief
isn't
just
for
that
situation.
M
Warranted
I'm,
of
course,
sympathetic
as
we
all
are
that
the
green
space
has
been
violated,
but
that's
just
part
of
the
deal
of
living
closer
in
so
I'd
like
to
see
what
happens
next
year.
If
you
choose
to
come
back,
if
things
change
in
some
fashion
or
your,
your
data
can
show
that
the
count
of
the
department
isn't
quite
as
up
to
speed
on
the
diminishing
value
of
the
loss
of
green
space.
M
H
H
Yeah
I
know
their
talents
and
the
neighbors
are
in
the
real
estate
agent
if
it
was
a
native.
How
feels
like
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
affected,
but
we
don't
even
have
data
that
support
okay
and
you
know
where
I
read
actually
20%
for
the
next
few
years
or
you
know
whatever
into
the
fever's
I
think
reasonably
so,
based
on
that
I
would
come
that
the
favorite
thing
linking
any
attachment
to
this
place.
H
H
T
H
O
Q
H
H
H
T
There
is
definitely
a
room
to
improve
or
get
the
assessed
value
in
a
little
bit
in
my
benefit,
and
that's
what
I'm
gonna
be
presenting
today
that
why
I
think
my
house
value
is
little
higher,
so
I
will
be
opening
the
comp,
so
I'll
be
directly
going
from
comp.
That
I
think
my
story
has
provided
in
her
justification.
T
I'll
start
with
I
think
she
put
the
first
one
at
zero:
five:
zero,
five,
four
zero:
four
four
thirty,
two
three
four:
two:
zero
lorem
lane
so
that
calm
all
right.
So,
first
of
all,
my
my
main
issue
with
the
house
that
I
always
feel
like
this
is
overvalued
in
the
assessment
is
this
is
a
hill,
and
this
is
this
is
at
the
corner
lot.
So
the
buildable
area,
if
you,
if
somebody,
come
and
look
at
it,
it's
like
I,
don't
think
it's!
T
It's
like
30%
of
the
land
like
my
lot
is
like
approximately
11,000,
something
close
to
12,000
square
feet
and
buildable
land
is
not
gonna,
be
more
than
like
three
to
four
thousand
flat
land.
It's
it's
super
steep
hill.
It's
it's
impossible
to
build.
We
have
had
like
many
builders
coming
in,
and
everybody
just
said
like
this
lot.
You
cannot
build
anything
whatever
you
have
that's
the
maximum
flat
land
that
you
can
use
now.
The
second
thing
is:
this
is
a
corner
lot.
So
again
it
has
its
own
own
issue.
T
Now
the
comp
thing
that
the
car
or
the
first
comp
that
has
been
mentioned,
30
to
34,
20,
Lorcan
Lane,
so
first
thing
that
I
noticed
like
it
has.
The
house
has
16600
lot
size,
so
I'm
not
very
much
sure
how
I
can
compare
that
with
my
eleven
thousand
Lord,
but
even
even
after
looking
into
that
like
it's,
not
it's
it's
it's
not
it's
not.
What
I
think
is
the
fair
comparison
now
in.
Let
me
open
the
three
comp
comparison
that
I
have
been
seeing.
T
T
The
address
is
three:
eight
four
three
30th
Street
North
the
line
value
assessed,
is
seven
hundred
thousand
seven
hundred
for
that
seven
hundred
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seven
thousand
nine
and
it
I'm
so
sorry
I'm
not
very
used
to
of
reading
all
these
big
numbers
and
the
building
the
build
is
nineteen.
Eighty
and
my
build
is
like
1960.
So
why
I
don't
think
we
can
do
the
fair
comparison
there.
Now
the
second
house
that
that
has
been
mentioned,
let
me
see
38:43
30th
Street,
and
it
has
been
mentioned
that
it
has.
T
It
was
sold
for
$1,000,000
again,
if
you
see
the
picture
of
the
house
inside
just
by
looking
into
the
picture
of
the
house
and
looking
into
what
I,
what
of
my
house
condition.
You
will
just
like
right
away.
You
will
see
the
difference.
This
is
totally
remodeled
house.
Everything
is
brand
new
appliances,
flooring
kitchen,
that
this
is
not
at
all
a
comparison
between
the
two
houses.
If
you
can
yeah
so
I
have
seen
every
picture
in
very
detail
there.
All
the
appliances
are
new.
Flooring
is
new.
T
Where
is
my
note?
The
back
side
of
the
house
is
totally
flat
and-
and
it
has
a
very
big
and
very
nice
deck
its-
and
if
you
see
with
the
back
of
my
house,
my
flat
land
for
as
a
backyard
I
have
done
little
bit
of
measuring
myself.
It's
like
10
feet
by
one,
and
so
it's
like
around
thousand
feet
of
flat
land.
That's
all
I
have
in
my
backyard,
but
here
the
deck
itself
is
like
a
thousand
feet,
so
the
comparison
I'm
not
sure
it's
very,
very
good
comparison.
T
T
So
yeah,
by
the
way,
I
I
am
very
much
familiar
with
this
harpy
sea
and
then
the
maps
I
build
the
maps.
My
profession
is
building
the
map,
I
work
for
Montgomery
County,
alright.
So
now
this
this
next
RPC
is
0
for
y
zero,
one
five
zero.
Two
again
you
see
it
is:
it
is
totally
remodeled
from
inside
when
it
was
sold
before
it
was
sold.
T
You
look
at
any
of
any
of
the
picture
of
that
house
and
you
will
see
the
huge
flat
land
in
the
back
I'm,
not
talking
about
the
front
in
the
back
side,
and
you
see
the
real
estate
picture.
You
will
see
it
and
then
the
the
condition
of
the
house
is
extremely
well
now.
That
is
why
it
is.
It
was
appraised.
It
was.
It
got
sold
for
our
of
one
point:
something
million
dollars
and
same
thing
for
the
next
star
PC,
which
is
zero.
Four:
zero:
zero,
three
zero.
T
T
T
The
assessment
is
less
than
seven
hundred
thousand
this.
You
can
compare
it
a
little
bit.
The
land
value
of
it,
but
again
like
for
the
comparison,
is
again
not
going
well
because
my
main
issue,
it's
it's,
my
land
is
not
useful.
Like
you
cannot
it's
not
a
buildable
land
in
three
direction
of
my
house,
you
you,
it's
all
the
trees
and
again
yeah
I
know
trees.
We
can
cut
the
trees
by
getting
the
permission,
but
even
if
whatever
we
do,
whatever
I
do,
I
took
an
estimation.
T
T
So
yeah,
my
my
my
appeal
here
is
the
land
that
has
been
assessed
is
is
not
fair
value
now,
because
the
it's
useless
land,
it's
on
the
hill,
you
it's
not
buildable
and
I,
can
compare
with
whatever
the
compare
value
that
has
been
sent
in
the
report.
Those
are
not
a
correct
comparison
with
my
house
situation.
That's
about
it.
Okay,.
N
All
right,
yes,
so
I
just
want
to
speak
originally
to
the
comps
it
selves.
We
aren't
saying
that
the
houses
are
the
same.
The
comps
are
used
to
indicate
value
within
the
neighborhood,
so
I'm
not
saying
that
those
houses
are
exactly
the
same.
It's
just
showing
what
is
going
on
and
we're
using
those
to
indicate
if
our
values
are
fair
and
equitable
in
comparison
to
sales
in
that
neighborhood.
So
moving
on.
N
This
house
was
not
inspected
due
to
cove
at
19,
so
we
were
not
able
to
see
the
interior,
but
it
was
recently
inspected
in
2017
for
a
review
which
also
went
to
the
BOE
and
the
same
issues
regarding
the
land
where
I
were
raised.
The
appellant
felt
that,
since
he
was
built
on
top
of
the
hill
and
on
1/4
lot,
that
30%
of
the
value
30%
of
the
land
is
unbuildable
again,
the
County
values
all
single-family
land,
the
same.
N
N
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
excess
land
holds
value,
even
if
it
is
not
usable.
So
he
could
say
that
it's
unbuildable,
but
we
still
have
to
value
it.
We
can't
just
ignore
it.
We
value
it
at
a
minimal
value
value
value
similar
to
outlaw
it's
at
$10.
A
square
foot
unusable
unbuildable
out.
Lots
that
don't
carry
home
sites
must
also
be
valued
in
our
value
at
seven
dollars
a
square
foot.
N
N
H
M
N
N
M
N
J
Okay,
this
is
for
the
applicant
I'm
familiar
with
the
topo.
Your
neck
of
the
woods
and
I
was
involved
in
a
project
that
group
of
Coulee
did,
which
was
about
as
tough
a
terrain
as
you
can
imagine.
Do
you
have
any
estimates
from
builders
as
to
their
Taney
wall
costs
or
anything
of
that
nature?
That
would
help
us
recognize
how
how
much
extra
it
would
cost
in
order
to
utilize
this
property.
T
Yes,
so
I
the
retaining
wall
we
had
so
we
right
now.
We
currently
have
one
retaining
wall,
which
is
around
hon,
if
I
say
a
hundred
square
feet
by
like
around
six
square
feet
and
what
I
have
I
mean.
That
is
also
in
a
very
extremely
bad
condition
when,
when
we
bought
this
property
ten
years
ago,
and
still
since
then
it
is
horribly
bad
condition,
but
to
replace
just
that
wall.
It
was
like
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
just
to
replace
that
wall.
J
H
J
N
I
would
just
like
to
reiterate
that
the
neighbor
was
recently
sold
for
higher
than
assessed.
So
we
have
not
seen
any
indication
that
the
slope
has
caused
for
the
assessment
to
need
to
be
lowered
based
on
comparable
sales
in
the
neighborhood
and
the
2020
analysis.
We
recommend
that
no
change
be
made
and
that
it
be
confirmed
at
1
million
mm.
H
T
So
I
would
like
to
challenge
that
line
that
the
comparable
houses-
that's
going
with
almost
the
same
price
at
1
million,
because
any
house
that
you
see
that
is
sold
for
a
million
and
the
age
is
almost
like
between
1950
and
1970
I'm,
giving
10
years
before
and
10
years
after
my
house
is
built.
The
condition
of
the
house
is
renovated.
It's
it's
very,
very
new,
whatever
sales
price
and
that's
what
you
are
not
I,
think
seeing
pretty
much
in
the
picture
that
people
are
renovating
their
house.
T
They
are
putting
new
appliances,
new
hardwood,
new
kitchen
bunch
of
new
bathroom,
and
then
they
are
selling
it
for
a
million
dollar.
That
makes
total
sense.
You
should,
and
now
I
would
like
to
reiterate
when
you,
when
I
appealed
it
in
2007
and
I,
could
not
make
it
to
the
big
meeting
it
was.
It
was
definitely
my
mistake,
but
I
would
want
to
I
would
I
could
have
challenged
at
that
time.
Also,
the
same
thing.
T
T
H
J
J
They're
saying
that
there
are
many
slow
clock,
operable
properties
as
I
said,
land
are
all
valued
equitably.
This
I
mean
this
is
such
that
I.
Would
my
own
analysis
I
think
an
adjustment
downward
of
the
value
of
the
excess
land
would
be
appropriate
because
I'm
familiar.
You
know
the
the
last
case
that
you
all
heard
in
this
McCourty.
J
We
negotiated
difficulty
hours
and
hours
and
hours,
and
the
whole
purpose
of
that
was
to
ensure
that
our
new
properties
and
that
the
neighboring
properties,
including
hers,
had
usable
area
in
the
rear
yards
and
that's
what
this
applicant
is
kind
of
talking
about,
and
in
order
to
achieve
that,
it's
gonna
be
very
expensive,
so
I
think
at
a
minimum.
We
should
knock
it
down
just
by
what
was
added
for
excess
land.
Thank
you.
M
Yeah
I'm
hoping
I
can
resurrect
it.
Oh
it
had
to
do
with
the
effect
of
age.
The
appellant
I
was
talking
about
old
bathrooms
and
and
comparables
that
had
new
kitchens,
but
I
see
that
the
effect
of
age-
and
this
is
probably
the
wrong
time-
have
asked
the
Department
eight
minutes
ago
or
three
minutes
ago,
given
that
they
didn't
have
internal
access
to
it.
This
time,
but
sought
I
guess
saw
it
in
27
yeah,
like
I'm
thinking
and
asking
and
answering
at
the
same
time,
I
apologize.
M
F
H
M
M
You
gotta
come
back
next
year
and
make
that
case,
but
we
can't
make
it
today
on
intuition,
but
we
could
make
it
in
theory
in
the
future,
on
real
data,
not
having
said
that
the
they
don't
see
that
there's
any
such
de
munition
of
land
value
because
of
significant
slopes,
but
if
the
appellant
free
to
find
it
on
his
own
and
come
back
and
revisit
this.
Is
that
what
you're
suggesting
right.
H
M
I
would
add
just
looking
at
comp
to
them
his
own
neighborhood,
meaning
every
square
foot
of
land
is
valued
assessed,
the
same
precisely
that
you
know
he
has
a
lot,
that's
a
third
more,
but
the
the
assessments
only
5%
more
so
six,
seven
percent
more.
That
might
strengthen
the
argued,
the
department's
argue
departments
argument,
but
if
some
data
could
be
brought
up
because
this
isn't
the
first
or
going
to
be
the
last.
B
M
H
H
L
L
H
I
I
I
The
units
that
were
sold
that
are
comparable
to
mine
are,
you
know,
was
significantly
less.
You
know
in
the
700
range
in
the
you
know,
five
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
range,
even
the
vo
ease
five
comparables,
which
is
a
little
bit
perplexing
to
me.
The
the
five
comparables
that
that
were
sent
over
to
me
from
the
BOE
we're
all
in
my
building
and
each
one
of
them
was
sold
between
five
hundred
and
seventy
four
thousand
up
to
seven
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
being
the
highest
amount
and
each
of
these
units.
I
Well,
two
of
the
units
are,
you
know,
on
on
lower
levels
on
the
second
floor,
and
then
the
other
units
that
were
sold
in
the
seven
hundred
thousand
dollar
range
we're
all
on
the
seventeenth
to
12
2011
floors,
so
there's
something
warm
paid
for.
You
know
upper
floor
floors.
My
unit
is
on
the
fifth
floor
and
my
unit
is
completely
in
the
same
exact
condition
that
you
know
I,
think
from
like
the
80s,
but
it
was
built
in
it
was
never
upgraded
and
I
sent
in
pictures
to
the
I.
I
Forget
the
name
of
the
person
that
reviewed
this
but
I
sent
in
the
pictures-
and
you
know
you
could
see
that
there
were
absolutely
no
upgrades
needs
or
renovations
made
to
my
unit
I
bought
it
for
seven
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars.
You
know
at
an
arm's
length,
transaction
in
December,
2018
and
just
I
know
that
this
is
outside
of.
I
You
know
the
period
that
you
review
comparables,
but
there
was
a
unit
that
was
just
sold
and
I
sent
that
to
I
believe
the
person's
name
is
taffy
unit
to
213,
which
is
exactly
like
the
same
size
and
layout
is
my
unit.
It
was
actually
sold
in
May
for
seven
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand,
and
it's
assessed
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
based
on
what
I
see
here,
I
believe
it
was
assessed
in
2019
for
seven
hundred
and
four
thousand.
Maybe
it's
currently
assessed
at
seven
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand.
I
U
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
taffy
I'm,
going
to
be
appraisers
for
the
condoms
unit,
which
belongs
to
the
waterford
house
originally
was
built
in
1986,
converted
to
condos
in
1993,
it's
65
units
total
and
it's
divided
to
between
four
different
models,
though
of
these
four
models.
The
subject
unit
belongs
to
the
largest
one,
it's
seventeen
hundred
and
seventy
two
square
foot.
So
for
this
appealed,
as
mentioned,
there
was
no
interior
inspection
done.
The
appellant
did
send
in
the
photos
which
are
attached
to
the
package
from
the
photos.
U
We
could
tell
that
the
kitchen
had
been
made
some
updates
to
the
appliances
they're,
not
the
original
appliances
from
the
eighties.
Obviously-
and
there
was
a
modification
to
the
kitchen
flooring,
the
bathrooms
are
in
original
condition,
but
are
very
well
maintained,
because
the
Waterford
is
considered.
You
know
a
nicer
building
as
far
as
condos
I
said.
The
unit
is
on
the
fifth
floor,
but
it
does
include
a
view
of
the
BC
monuments
in
the
airport,
although
it
does
sit
at
the
tree
line.
U
So
if
you
look
on
page
your
Bo,
you
pack,
it
you're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
see
the
sales
that
we
saw
during
the
20/20
analysis
period.
So
basically,
these
sales,
the
ones
that
were
deemed
valid
and
open
market
contained
assessments
and
sales
ratios
between
point
six,
six,
eight
and
one
point:
nine
four
one.
U
So,
as
I
was
saying,
the
subject,
sale
did
have
a
high
ratio
of
one
point:
two
one
two,
so
we
deemed
it
an
outlier
I
did
see
that
there
was
a
departmental
review
last
year
and
for
the
notes
on
that
review.
It
was
an
all-cash
sale
so
that
still
ticked
about
for
our
analysis.
So,
given
what
we
saw,
there
was
a
20%
increase
applied
to
the
two
smallest
models:
7%
increase
applied
to
the
second-largest,
which
is
the
fourteen
hundred
and
forty
four
square
foot,
and
only
a
1%
increase
applied
to
the
subject
space
model.
U
So
one
of
the
things
outlined
in
the
appellant
concerns
was
the
high
HOA
fees,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
our
assessments
are
solely
based
on
what
the
market
is
showing.
So
a
sales
price
will
encompass
other
factors
such
as
condo
fees
and
amenities
that
a
condo
may
provide,
but
we
can
only
infer
that
if
a
condo
has
HOA
fees
that
people
might
not
be
inclined
to
buy
there,
but
the
market
is
showing
us
that
people
still
want
to
go
and
live
at
the
Waterford,
regardless
of
those
high
HOA
fees.
U
U
On
page
four
of
your
BOE
packet
you'll
see
all
the
council,
the
comps
1
2
&
3
are
smaller
than
the
subject.
They
are
1400
and
44
square
feet,
but
they
so
basically
they
all
sold
for
more
than
the
subject
sales
price,
but
they
have
your
bedrooms,
smaller
size,
your
bathrooms
and
they
have
smaller
balconies.
U
She
did
mention
that
they
are
all
higher
floors,
which
is
correct,
but
the
way
the
building
is
set
up.
They
actually
have
a
less
desirable
view
than
the
subjects,
because
the
view
from
the
1772
square-foot
model
is
actually
the
best
view
towards
the
entire
DC
area.
National
airport
and
the
river.
The
View
for
the
1444
square
foot
is
slightly
angled.
Therefore,
the
adjustments
are
a
little
less,
but
all
of
the
adjustments
at
the
Waterford
range
between
19%
and
36%.
U
Basically,
the
view
adjustments
are
calculated
as
a
percentage
of
total
improvement,
so
that's
kind
of
the
way
it's
done
and
currently
the
subjects
view
is
26
percent
of
its
improvement,
which
might
seem
large,
but
it's
actually
within
range
as
the
other
two
comp,
the
other
three
comp.
And
lastly,
you
know,
given
the
sales
of
the
smaller
units
coming
in
way
over
assessed
values,
we
can
conclude
that
the
largest
model
will
follow
the
same
trend.
Therefore,
it
is
a
province
recommendation
to
confirm
the
20/20
assessment
at
900
4600.

The
market
had
it
closed,
it
wasn't
like
I
said,
and
we
can't
really
the
deuce
if
that
sales
price
is.
You
know,
because
of
something
like
an
anomaly
in
the
market
right
now
due
to
current
situation,
but
we
will
include
that
sale
on
next
year's
analysis
but
like
she
said
that
they
all
closed
at
seven
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
it's
currently
at
seven,
seven
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
still
selling
over
its
effect
value
coming
in
at
only
ninety
two
percent.
I
First
first
I'd
like
to
say
that
although
I
received
an
email
from
Rosa
that
I
would
be
getting
a
package
from
the
BOE
by
June,
12
I
actually
didn't
receive
any
of
the
stuff
that
Chuck
had
just
brought
up
with
the
comparables
and
and
all
of
that
information.
So
you
know
that
this
is
a
little.
It's
catching
me
a
little
bit
off
hand,
but
as
far
as
unit
213
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
it's
sold
within
you
know
a
normal
time
period.
I
But
in
addition,
you
know
I've
seen
the
unit
myself
and
we
have
years
of
it.
It
is
a
lot
more
upgraded
than
mine.
It's
kitchen
is
completely
upgraded.
It
has
granite
counters,
it's
got,
you
know
additional
cabinets,
you
know
it's
a
completely
redone
kitchen.
The
bathrooms
are
also
redone.
There
are
several
upgrades
to
that
unit,
including
the
floors
as
well
that
my
unit
doesn't
have
so
yes,
I
do
maybe
have
us.
You
know
I'm
on
three
floors
higher,
but
I
am
at
the
tree
line.
As
you
mentioned.
It's
really
not
you
know
during
the
winter.
I
Maybe
when
the
trees
aren't,
like
you
know,
in
full
leaves
I
could
see
a
little
bit
more
than
I
do
right
now,
I'm
looking
out
right
now
and
I,
you
know,
I
mean
I.
I
could
see
the
capital
from
from
an
angle.
But
it's
not
it's
not
the
crazy
view
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
the
monument
is
covered
by
that
for
lease
sign
at
you
know.
You
know
by
long
birch
Park
there's
another
building
there,
so
it's
not
like
I
get
to
see
their
full
monument
or
anything
I
mean
I
love.
I
You
know
from
like
1500
to
like
1,800,
without
my
even
being
able
to
calculate
that
and
I'm
certain
you
know,
taffy
had
mentioned
how
there
just
aren't
a
lot
of
sales
in
this
building
and
part
of
the
reason
why
I
know
that
this
building
has
a
lot
of
older
folks
in
there
who
would
like
to
sell
their
units,
but
they
have
difficulty
selling
or
even
you
know,
believing
that
they'll
be
able
to
get
their.
You
know
the
right
market,
valued
because
of
the
high
HOA
and
people
don't
want
to
pay
that
much
for
it.
I
You
know
to
compare
the
building
next
door
to
us.
1,300
Crystal
Drive
has
significantly
less
of
an
HOA
and
there
these
are
outrageously
more
than
an
hour,
so
they
have
two
pools.
They
have.
You
know
noosa
barging
when
they
have
party
rooms,
they've
got
all
sorts
of
things
that
you
don't
have.
So
this
goes
to
reduction
in
our
market
value.
Sorry,
if
I'm
taking
up
too
much
time
and.
C
H
M
The
department
I
lost
audio
for
like
a
minute,
I
unknowingly
press
the
button
bye.
So
if
the
department
brought
this
up,
I
apologized
I
wanted
to
know.
If
you
know
what
the
assessments
are.
This
is
all
about
equalization
for
units.
There
are
seventeen
hundred
and
seventy
two
square
feet,
knowing
the
nun
sold
recently.
But
how
are
they
assessed
that
to
me?
That's
a
key.
M
M
U
U
M
So
maybe
I
can
pose
the
question
differently,
accounting
for
those
view
percentages
are
they
all
otherwise,
if
they
were
all
in
the
fifth
floor,
which
is
impossible,
they
all
be
assessed
it
pretty
much
the
same.
This
is
not
a
brand
new
condo
building,
so
that
I'm
sure
there's
some
effective
age
changes
over
time,
but
so
going
up
on
the
sixth
seventh
eighth
floor,
what
what
are
the
can
you
just
look
at
your
screen
and
tell
us
what
the
assessments
are
for
those.
U
U
Which
were
smaller
than
the
subject
sold
significantly
over
their
assessed
values.
The
only
sale
which
sold
under
was
the
subjects
making
it
an
outlier
I
stated.
The
unit
213
that
was
mentioned
does
have
no
view
value
or
floor
value,
given
that
it
is
on
the
second
floor
and
that's
why
it
should
not
be
a
complete
comparable
to
the
subject
and
which
is
why
I
respectfully
ask
the
board
a
confirmed
assessment
as
fair
and
equitable
at
9:04
600.
Thank
you.
H
I
Just
again,
I
want
to
reiterate
that
I
didn't
see
the
document
that
Tammy
was
referring
to,
but
the
one
document
that
I
have
with
the
comparables
is
the
sale.
Prices
were
again
in
the
range
of
five
hundred
and
seventy
four
thousand
up
to
seven
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
so
tapis
right
that
they
sold
for
less
than
mine.
I
You
know
and
again
these
differences
I'm
sorry
they
sold
for
they
actually
sold
for
more
than
mine,
most
of
them,
and
these
differences
probably
accounted
for
the
fact
that
they're
on
upper
floors
and
much
more
renovated
than
mine.
It
was
completely
redone,
but
you
know
the
the
the
the
sale
prices
are
still
significantly
lower
than
what
you're
assessing
the
end.
You
know
like
120
thousand
dollars
less
so
I
still
think
that
my
unit
should
be.
You
know,
assessed
over
a
hundred
thousand
less
than
what
you
currently
have.
I
H
H
J
On
the
board,
at
my
Alta
Vista
condominium,
and
what
I
learned
when
I
went
on
the
board
was
that
prior
boards
had
kept
the
assessment,
the
condo
fee
way
down
and
unfortunately
we
had
to
play
catch-up,
and
so
we
really
had
to
jack
up
the
condo
fees.
So
condo
fees
are
going
to
go
up
and
down
depending
upon
prior
levels
of
assessment,
so
forth,
and
it
could
be
that
you
know
they're
trying
to
increase
the
reserve
fund,
not
exactly
sure
why
yours
went
up
so
much,
but
I
do
know
why
mine
did
a
second
thing.
J
I
want
to
share
with
the
board,
for
whatever
it's
worth
is
three
unit
condominium.
Our
three-bedroom
condominiums
are
very
rare
and
very
sought.
After
and
at
Alta
Vista,
we
had
a
three-bedroom
available
about
six
months
ago.
Yours
truly
put
a
bid
in
and
there
was
a
bidding
war,
I
didn't
come
close
and
it
went
way
above
the
assessed
value.
So
for
what
it's
worth.
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
my
fellow
board
members.
H
C
C
You
know
making
the
assumption
this
was
an
arm's
length
purchase
in
2018.
The
current
assessment
would
represent
10%
compound
increase
in
values
every
year.
Since
then,
I
don't
know
how
that
compares
to
the
rest
of
the
building
or
the
market.
It
seems
a
little
bit
high
and
then
you
know
just
the
gross
value
of
the
the
view.
I'm,
not
a
condo
guy,
so
I
have
a
hard
time
full.
Yet
you
know
buying
into
the
view
thing,
but
that's
definitely
a
up
to
the
condo
experts
and
they
can
usually
demonstrate
it
with
pricing.
C
But
unit
to
13
I
mean
we're
talking
about
a
hundred,
and
you
know
sixty
almost
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
view
premium.
I
mean
that
just
seems
like
a
lot
of
money
for
three
floors
and
you
know
I'm
pulling
up
the
photos
from
the
sale
on
unit
213.
You
know
the
realtor
photos
and
it's
not
like
it's
looking
into
a
brick
wall.
You
know
that
unit
has
a
view
as
well
so
I'm
concerned
making
a
major
adjustment,
because
the
whole
building
is
going
to
get
thrown
out
of
whack
from
an
equitable
standpoint.
H
M
Looking
at
the
comparables
and
and
again
they're
much
smaller,
but
they're
much
higher
I,
my
my
comment
only
is
I.
Think
that
there's
a
reasonable
chance,
based
on
this
limited
data
that
they're
under
assessed,
they
should
be
closer
to
the
appellant
assessment,
not
not
a
hundred
percent
but
they're
they're,
pretty
low
relative
to
their
recent
sales
and
the
department
might
want
to
take
a
long
look
at
that
when
it
comes
to
then.
Finally,
when
it
comes
to
views,
it's
true
debase
depends
on
the
season.
Some
people
don't
want
to
see
monuments.
M
Some
people
love
to
see
trees
like
to
be
below
the
tree
line.
I
get
a
little
antsy,
putting
a
lot
of
weight
on
that.
Although
I
know.
Certainly
it
is
relevant
but
I'm
not
I,
don't
want
to
throw
the
building
out
of
whack
I,
don't
want
to
throw
the
tear
out
of
whack,
but
I
do
think
some
of
the
other
residents
may
be
getting
a
tax
break
for
the
department's
consideration.
That's
it.
H
Yeah
I
have
to
agree
with
that.
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
We
see
that
in
buildings
that
you
know
we're
there
when
there's
a
sale
that
he's
investing,
have
many
possible
because
he's
not
a
popular
unit.
He's
gonna
house
that
I
think
that
he's
gonna
have
to
either
adjust
to
either
the
size
or
other
buildings,
because
we
started
to
get
a
profitable
in
the
same
building.
H
H
The
other
unit
that
is
213
the
throw
for
service
during
the
fight
was
also
listed
of
I
think
they
have
Christ
try
for
50,000
resisted
every
25,
10
minutes,
thinking
and
I
have
to
just
like
me,
I
think
the
unit
that
yourself
or
have
looking
at
the
pictures
I
think
it
looks
very
shape
better
to
13.
15
has
all
just
it's
all
pocketed
I'm,
pretty
sure
you
know
nothing
else.
You
know
applause
very
nice
renovated
bathroom
my
opinion.
Looking
at
the
pictures
is
in
better
shape,
it's
been
going
back
to
last
year.
H
H
C
C
So
there's
clearly
there's
a
square
foot
premium
being
added
to
this,
and
that
now
Barnes
has
got
one
observation
which
I
can
definitely
respect
in
his
building
and
where
there's
a
shortage
of
units
that
are
three
bedrooms
and
a
body
as
a
developer.
I
also
don't
usually
see
a
higher
price
per
square
foot
on
the
larger
units.
You
usually
see
the
opposite.
C
C
H
M
J
M
J
H
L
On
Greg's
comment:
I
think
the
assessments
are
equitable
throughout
the
building,
but
I
I
think
there
they
may
be
hi,
given
what
the
sales
are
showing.
I
think
that
they're
they're
tearing
the
the
assessments
are
tearing
well,
but
they
I.
Don't
think
your
point.
Is
there
they're
not
selling?
If
those
assessments
say
yeah.
C
And
mark
I'm
I
think
we're
all
very
hesitant
to
go
down
the
slippery
slope
of
adjusting.
We
look
from
a
new
because
it's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
work
to
try
to
get
this
building
back
equitable,
but
I
think
you're
right
that
there's
a
it's,
probably
not
just
a
linear
slope
of
value
to
the
view.
As
you
go
up
the
building,
it's
probably
more
like
there's
a
category
of
good
you
and
not
good.
You
and
the
appellant
might
be
getting
hit
a
little
bit
hard
here.
C
L
The
other
thing
I
was
thinking
about
and
and
I
did
look
at
the
pictures
after
talking
about
it,
but
trees
grow
things,
change
and
I've
had
I
am
I
have
unit
the
in
a
matter
of
yes,
probably
over
five
years,
but
that
view
dramatically
changed.
So
maybe
that
view
level
start
is
a
little
bit
is
a
little
different
than
it
used
to
be.
When
when
that
view
level
was
assessed
and
I,
don't
know
that
for
sure,
but
it's
an
assumption.
L
H
A
Can
I
just
say
something:
I'm
piping
in
here
Mary
Hogan
has
gotten
knocked
off
and
she's
trying
to
make
a
comment.
H
Any
it's
she.
M
H
K
Earlier
I'm,
just
gonna,
say:
I
agree
with
with
Greg
about
you
know,
maybe
doing
something
about
reducing
it.
A
little
bit
I
do
think,
there's
something
a
little
off
on
the
amount
that's
being
attributed
to
the
views
here,
but
I'm
not
really
sure
you
know
how
much
we
can
do
and
but
I'd
be
fine.
If
you
wanted
to
go
back
to
2019,
not
that
it's
a
big
big
difference.
C
C
Where
we're
getting
out
of
whack
I
think
I
think
that
we've
done
a
good
job
or
the
department
has
done
a
good
job
of
trying
to
keep
everything
equitable
within
the
building.
But
it
might
be
out
of
whack
on
fair
market
day
there's
something
else.
While
we
had
the
little
pause
they're
just
pulling
up
the
penthouse
day
off
in
this
building,
which
was
in
April
of
last
year
at.
J
C
Point
1
million
dollars-
and
this
is
a
2,800
square
foot
penthouse
on
the
11th
floor
with
a
17th
floor
rather
looks
like
two
units
combined
I
mean
it's
just
a
monster.
I
think
describing
is
the
opulent
2817
square-foot
palatial
abode
and
that's
sold
for
1.1
million,
which
is
200k
above
this
three-bedroom
standard
unit.
On
the
fifth
floor,.
H
So
originally
was
listed
for
one
point:
stinky
from
them
is
thinking
why
the
chills
why
they
salted
got
a
little
pricey
start
to
tell
that
there
was
talk
in
the
last
year
on
this
unit.
We
are
going
to
be
less
than
$10,000
difference
from
the
fourth
floor.
I
believe
that
indicated
that
that
was
successfully
the
six
two
hundred.
C
In
the
interest
in
moving
on
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
if
it
dies
it
dies,
but
I
would
I
would
motion
to
reduce
the
assessment.
This
is
the
2019
value
of
eight
ninety,
six,
nine
hundred
and
and
and
with
that,
make
the
recommendation
that
the
department
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
the
fair
market
value
across
the
building.
Based
on
some
of
these
recent
sales
over
the
past
year,.

Is
he
saying,
is
he
saying
that
he
never
got
any
feedback
upon
his
I?
Don't
know
when
he
submitted
this
and
he
said
clearly
he
didn't
have
to
come
to
the
department
to
get
confirmation.
But
is
he
saying
that
he
appealed
on
time
but
didn't
get
any
feedback
from
the
department,
so
I
didn't
know
where
he
stood
and
then
decided
to
go
to
Clarendon
Boulevard,
but
had
to
wait
until
the
phase
one
was
over.
I
don't
know
when
he
filed.
A
A
Say
because
the
county's
negligent
to
notify
us
in
a
timely
manner
that
they
did
not
receive
our
income
and
expense,
we
missed
the
deadline
to
appeal
an
increase
in
property
taxes.
Now
I
would
say
first
off
it,
you
know
the
county
doesn't
send
out
letters
to
everybody
gone.
Oh,
thank
you.
We
have
it.
I
mean
I,
think
it's
their
responsibility
to
