Okay,
let
me
just
maximize
it
so
first.
Thank
you
this
morning
for
taking
some
time.
I
wanted
to
just
explain
the
issues
that
I
have
with
the
property
assessment,
and
it
really
is
around
the
methodology
and
for
my
home
in
particular,
given
some
limitations
on
the
property,
a
particular
encumbrance
encumbrance,
which
I
will
get
into,
which
was
not
taken
into
account
and
the
following
page
will
show
that
the
encumbrance
is
a
rainwater
sewer
and
there's
a
county
right
of
way,
and
it
effectively
limits
the
ability
to
utilize
my
property.
B
The
department
of
real
estate
assessments
used
a
formula
for
all
the
properties
in
my
in
in
my
area
and
that
probably
works
for
95
98
of
of
home
properties.
The
problem
is
when
you
have
a
particular
encumbrance
which
immediately
and
directly
impacts
the
value
for
buyers
that
isn't
taken
into
account
and
then
and
then
the
drea
uses
market
comps.
You
know
to
justify
it.
The
problem
is
these
market
comps
are
in
close
proximity,
but
that's
about
all
they
have
in
proximity.
B
I
actually
checked
these
market
comps,
all
of
them
by
myself,
and
none
of
them
have
an
encumbrance
similar
to
mine,
one
actually,
the
the
top
one.
I'm
sorry,
not
the
top
one,
the
top
one's,
not
in
my
neighborhood,
but
I
do
know
the
buyer
and
actually
they
are
planning
to
expand.
B
All
of
the
homes
here
are
either
recently
renovated.
The
second
one
they
put
in
350
000
in
the
last
few
years
and
it's
50
percent
greater
square
footage.
So
I
don't
think
any
of
these
comps
are
frankly
accurate.
The
last
one
is
just
a
mistake:
it
has
my
own
address,
3660
north
oakland
street,
as
a
comp
for
my
home,
my
home
was
not
sold,
so
I
don't
that's
just
a
mistake
that
was
given
in
in
the
information
but
on
to
the
encumbrance.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
drawing
of
my
property
and
it's
a
very.
B
This
is
the
entire
property.
You
can
see
the
back
end.
There's
a
large
sloping
land,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna.
The
next
page
is
enlarged,
and
you
can
see
here
you
can
see
here
that
the
drawing
actually
is
not
exactly
accurate,
the
the
the
sewer
which
I'm
pointing
to
right
now
with
my
mouse,
this
little
box,
it's
actually
directly
behind
the
layout,
the
property
layout.
This
red
dotted
box
is
the
area
that
we
would
actually
like
to
expand
and
the
problem
is.
B
B
B
This
cannot
be
changed
according
to
civil
engineers,
without
significant
costs
and
a
lot
of
time
from
arlington's
environmental
services,
because
an
expansion,
the
way
we
would
want
to
to
modernize
the
home
is
not
allowable,
because
the
foundation
would
directly
impact
the
sewer,
so
you'd
have
to
have
find
another
solution
and
the
civil
engineers
I
talked
to
said
it
is
definitely
problematic.
They've
had
situations
much
easier
than
this
and
it
took
them
a
year
and
a
half
to
two
years
to
approve.
B
Have
this
particular
encumbrance
it
is,
it
is
very
unique:
here's
an
actual
photo
of
the
encumbrance
just
so
you
see,
because
this
isn't
entirely
accurate.
This
one
actually
shows
that
the
sewer
is
somewhat
outside
the
perimeter
of
the
existing
deck
and
where
we
would
like
to
expand.
That's
not
accurate,
it's!
Actually.
This
is
a
picture
I
took
from
the
deck.
It
is
directly
in
the
middle
of
it
and
directly
impacts
where
we
would
build
to
that
expansion.
B
So
I'm
sorry
so
the
challenges
I
have
are
this:
all
the
assessments
are
done
using
a
formula
which
works
for
probably
most
of
the
homes
that
don't
have
this
particular
encumbrance.
B
Then
they
use
market
comps
to
say,
okay,
our
formula
is
appropriate
because
the
comps
prove
it
out,
even
though
the
comps
aren't
aren't
comparable,
except
for
proximity
to
my
location
and
of
course
none
of
these
have
the
same
encumbrance
as
mine
and
in
it
I
actually
went
through
all
of
this
all
of
the
sales.
In
my
neighborhood
over
the
past
couple
years,
I
took
pictures
of
them
on
the
following
page
and
what
market
the
one
of
the
biggest
criteria
impacting
my
neighborhood
is
people
want
a
modern
home.
B
They
want
not
a
1960s
foundation,
they
want
a
larger
one
or
the
ability
to
expand
into
it.
And,
unfortunately,
the
department
ignores
this
fundamental
key
criteria
that
drives
market
values.
It
has
a
direct
impact
on
market
values,
and
that
is-
and
that
is
a
problem,
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
that
position
on
assessments
it
it's
circular
and
it's
not
logical
and
it
overvalues
my
property.
B
I
mean
this
is
just
an
example
of
the
homes
in
in
my
property,
all
of
them
when
they
are
purchased
the
old
colonials,
the
old
1960s
homes
are
being
torn
down,
and
that
is
a
portion.
A
portion
of
that
value
is
related
to
that
in
the
sales.
It's
probably
why,
when
I
purchased
my
home
at
you
know
my
home
actually
sat
on
the
on
the
market
for
four
months,
and
an
agent
did
tell
me
yeah
most
people
would
like
to
expand,
but
they
know
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
challenge.
B
So
you
know
I
I
have
worked
in
my
career.
I
do
work
in
valuation,
I
value
companies,
assets
and
in
real
estate,
and
I've
never
had
a
situation
where
I
could
just
ignore
an
encumbrance
on
an
asset
and
treat
it
the
way
an
asset
with
no
encumbrance
is
treated.
So
it's
not
a
question
of
how
much
you
know
discount
should
be
applied
to
my
pro
or
whether
a
discount
should
be
applied.
It's
just
a
question
of
how
much
and
I
think
it's
significant.
B
I
think
that
is
a
big
impact
and
I
don't
have
the
ability
to
use
my
property
the
way
that
we
would
like
to
to
modernize
the
home
and,
I
suspect,
other
buyers
which
impact
value
think
about
it.
The
same
way.
So
that's
that's
the
challenge
and
the
problem
I
have
with
the
assessment
as
as
late.
You
know.
F
Sure,
let's
is
that
all
mr
presetti?
Yes,
sir
okay,
thank
you
we're
going
to
go
with
the
county,
miss
tricep!
If
you
could
go
ahead
and
do
your
presentation
please
all.
C
C
C
The
appellant
feels
that,
due
to
the
county
sewer
incumbents,
they
are
unable
to
expand
the
foundation
that
they
would
that
they
would
like
and
their,
and
this
likely
affects
the
market
value
of
their
property.
They
also
feel
that
the
universal
formula
for
the
assessment
is
not
correct
and
does
not
take
into
consideration
important
factors
that
adversely
impact
the
value
of
the
appellant's
home.
C
The
sales
comparison
approach
considers
market
sales
in
the
subject's
neighborhood
and
follows
the
statistical
evidence
of
the
market
values
determined
by
assessment
compared
to
sales
price.
Both
approaches
to
value
are
applied
in
mass
appraisal
approach
to
all
properties
within
the
neighborhood
land
values
are
determined
using
market
sales
data
as
well
as
are
derived
using
a
base
lot
method
for
the
average
lot
size
in
the
neighborhood.
With
adjustments
made
for
size
above
and
below
the
average
size,
we
had
20
open
market
sales
or
open
market
transactions
during
the
2021
analysis
of
those
24
have
been
provided.
C
While
it
does
have
an
additional
bathroom,
it
is
roughly
400
square
feet
smaller
than
the
subject
and
was
recently
sold
in
march
of
2020
above
assessed
value
based
on
the
information
submitted,
the
review
of
the
property
record
and
sales
information
in
the
neighborhood.
It
was
determined
that
the
2021
assessment
be
fair
and
equitable,
and
we
ask
that
the
board.
Please
confirm
the
county's
assessment
of
one
million,
one
hundred
sixty
five
thousand
hi.
F
Well,
let's,
let's
continue
right
now,
I
know
we
lost
our
chair.
Madame
chair
for
the
meeting
for
at
the
moment,
we're
gonna
go
into
questions.
Is
there
any
question
from
any
board
member
to
any
participant?
Mr
barnes.
G
B
I
I
appreciate
the
question:
to
be
honest,
I
think
he
mentioned
it.
I'm
not
an
engineer
in
some
of
the
some
of
the
jargon
he
used.
I
didn't
fully
understand
what
he
told
me
was
there
are
challenges.
I
asked:
why
can't
we
just
move
it?
You
know
closer
to
my
neighbors
outside
the
perimeter
and
he
said
well,
there
are,
there
are
lots
of
constraints
and
restrictions
to
doing
that
and
it
needs
to
be
consistent
allowable.
It
can't
go
towards
your
neighbor's
yard
any
closer.
So
I
don't
know
exactly
what
what
you
referred
to.
B
Right
that
that's
and
that's
what
I
suspected
all
what
he
told
me
is
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult,
and
that
was-
and
he
went
into
some
reasons
why
it
was
going
to
be
very
difficult,
and
I
took
him
out
as
at
his
word,
and
I
spoke
with
somebody
else-
who's
experienced
it
and
he
said:
oh
gosh,
you're
gonna
have
a
real
challenge
doing
this,
and
so
so
yeah.
E
G
B
B
B
There
is
an
easement,
there
is
a
county,
right-of-way
easement
and
it
is
directly
back
I.
I
know
that,
as
I
mentioned,
the
the
the
actual
photo
is
more
representative.
It's
not
exact
replica
on
the
on
the.
B
H
Question
for
the
department
on
comparables
one
two
and
three:
actually
all
four
comparables.
If
you
look
only
at
land
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about.
Yes,
sir
value
land
use
land
landing.
I
I
just
want
to
get
this
straight.
H
I'm
looking
at
just
the
comparables,
where
you
have
very
similar
lot
sizes
in
one
lot
same
neighborhood,
one
lots
bigger
than
the
other,
but
has
a
lower
land
assessment.
Another
one's
lower
than
this
one
has
a
higher
land
assessment
again
ignoring
the
appellate
land.
Just
for
a
moment.
Is
this
all
correct
on
these
four
assessments
I
mean
I'll,
make
it
simpler,
comparables
one
and
two
two
is
larger,
but
has
a
lower
land
assessment,
so
I'll
try
to
bore
down
my
question.
What's
that
about.
C
All
is
due
to
the
square
footage
of
it
and
like
the
formulas
that
we
use
no.
But
but.
H
E
H
G
Could
it
be
the
cul-de-sac
I
was,
I
only
see
the
one
comp
three
is
on
a
call.
C
So
yeah
so
four
sorry
zero
four
326
on
military
road.
They
have
a
negative
five
adjustment
for
being
on
military
road
yeah
and
then
I
think
that
was
the
let's
look
at
the.
E
F
H
I
had
two
questions
I'll
then
I'll.
Just
assume
this
is
all
just
fine.
So
my
real
question
is
we've
heard
recently
from
the
department
that
land
adjustments
are
not
made
for
natural
encumbrances
like
a
creek
spring,
but
they
are
for,
and
that
was
term
that
was
used,
man-made
encumbrances,
like
sewer,
and
I'm
wondering
why
there
is
no
adjustment
for
this
man-made
encumbrance.
C
C
That's
when
we
would
add
the
negative,
the
value
adjustment,
but
such
things
like
sewers,
we
just
don't
see
that
there's
just
no
sales
and
at
like
sales
or
comps
to
back
it
up
and
typically,
we
would
only
consider
like
sewers
if
there's
like
a
flooding
impact
that
was
due
to
the
sewer.
C
But
again
it's
just
it's
sales.
If
there
isn't
sales
to
back
it
up.
Why
would
what
justification
would
we
have
to
be
lowering
the
assessment
if
they're
still
selling
for
over.
H
Public
service
easements,
don't
only
if
there's
some
direct
negative
result
of
the
public
easement
flooding,
constant
flooding.
Okay,
thanks
very
much.
J
County
you're,
looking
at
comms
how
many?
What
are
there
comps
for
this
situation?
J
The
the
county
would
be
aware
of
that
has
an
impediment
right
behind
the
house
to
restrict
any
change,
and
I
understand
the
concept
you're
assessing,
as
is
not
the
future,
but
we
all
know
that,
especially
in
arlington
people
buy
based
on
what
can
be
done
and
that's
a
factor
it
really
is.
But
when
you're
looking
at
comps,
you
have
a
comp
for
this
site.
Given
this
situation,
because
it's
not
it's
a
physical
structure
right
there,
it's
not
just
a
you
know
a
water
easement.
C
I
mean,
frankly,
we
haven't
seen
an
impact
for
that
sort
of
thing,
so
we
wouldn't
take
into
consideration.
But
if
the
appellant
had
found
one
as
well,
he
could
have
provided
it.
So
if
we
don't
have
one,
they
don't
have
one.
C
Not
for
this,
this
year's
analysis.
No,
I
mean
that's
where
we're
pulling
our
sales
and
comparables
from
mostly.
F
Okay,
mr
lawson.
G
This
should
maybe
be
held
for
discussion,
but
mark
the
unless
one
has
a
copy
of
the
survey
and
unless
the
survey
shows
all
encumbrances
all
easements
there's
no
way
the
department
would
know
sure.
I
agree.
C
I
mean
typically,
these
things
come
up
with
the
sales
price
when
we
see
like,
if
there's
a
huge
gap
between
the
sales
price
on
our
assessment,
we're
looking
at
those
sort
of
things
to
see.
If
maybe
there's
something
weird
that
we
need
to
take
into
consideration.
But
we
just
we
don't
have
that
that
data.
F
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
hoffman.
Did
you
have
any
question
or
no
okay?
Thank
you.
Anybody
else,
any
other
question.
C
I
would
just
like
to
reiterate
that
that
the
county
does
not
value
on
the
potential
use
of
land.
We
are
only
valuing
what
is
currently
there.
I
would
also
like
to
remind
the
board
that
this
property
was
reviewed
and
confirmed.
Last
year,
the
appellant's
neighborhood
saw
an
average
increase
of
6.2
percent,
where
the
appellate's
assessment
increased
by
5.8
being
that
the
board
confirmed
the
assessment
last
year
and
that
the
appellant
saw
a
lower
increase
than
average.
C
B
B
Can
they
make
the
house
into
something
modern
that
people
that
buyers
are
demanding
and
every
other
sales
comp
nearly
every
other
sales
comp
reflect
that
in
how
you
cannot
take
that
into
account
is
really
beyond
me.
I
think
it
is
an
encumbrance.
It
impacts
value
in
last
year's
assessment.
We
didn't
even
talk
about
the
encumbrance.
B
I
knew
that
it
was,
but
I
never
articulated
it
because
frankly,
I
hadn't
had
discussions
with
civil
engineers
and
I
didn't
have
the
information,
but
I
know
without
a
doubt
it
impacts
value,
and
I
can't
utilize
the
land
that
we
would
like
to
do
to
modernize
it
either
for
ourselves
or
to
sell
it,
and
I
think
that
was
frankly
when
we
bought
it.
That's
why
the
market?
That's
why
the
house
was
on
the
market
for
four
months
again.
It's
I.
F
Thank
you,
okay,
it's
now
among
the
board
members,
and
I
think
we
still
don't
have
mary
with
us.
Do
we.
K
Well,
she's
been
having
technical
difficulties
she's
trying
to
she
has
to
restart
so
she's
trying.
F
Okay,
any
comments,
mr
lawson.
G
Yeah,
why
don't
I
go
ahead
and
start
off
as
far
as
this
specific
property,
I
think
I
think
the
owner
needs
to
have
a
civil
engineer,
lay
out
the
exact
easement
and
also
show
the
building
envelope.
G
Whenever
you
have
a
lot
in
arlington
single-family
house
lot,
you
have
a
building
envelope,
and
that
is
the
area
that
you
can
buy
right
due
additions
when
you
have
an
easement,
they're,
typically
10
feet
wide,
sometimes
20
feet
wide,
but
the
department
also
requires
a
further
setback
from
the
boundary
of
the
easement.
I've
argued
that
out
a
couple
of
times,
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
see
that
it
looks
to
me
like
a
buy
right
addition
can
be
done,
but
it
may
not
logically
expand
upon
the
existing
house
layout.
G
We
we
before
I
was
appointed
to
this
body.
I
did
I
interacted
with
the
fairfax
real
estate
assessment
and
one
of
our
cases
was
a
property
with
a
bunch
of
easements,
and
you
know
once
once
they're
aware
of
that.
If
the
easement
truly
genuinely
impacts
the
ability
to
use
the
property,
then
I
think
an
adjustment
of
some
nature
should
be
made
on
this
particular
one.
G
It's
hard
for
me
to
evaluate
how
much
of
an
impact
the
easement
is.
There
is
some
impact,
there's
no
doubt,
but
is
it
enough
to
really
knock
down
the
value?
That's
that's
what
I'm
not
sure,
but
in
the
world
today
you
know
ken's,
absolutely
right.
You
know
people
look
at
at
buying
a
house
and
they
always
look
at
the
building
envelope.
H
Thank
you.
I
had
some
concerns
initially,
but
they've
been
addressed.
I
consider
this
easement,
given
that
it
was
no
surprise
unknown
encumbrance,
but
rather
well
known
and
on
the
survey
plat
as
a
market-driven
encumbrance,
and
it.
H
Incumbent
upon
the
buyer
and
the
appellants
already
mentioned
that
it
took
a
long
time
for
a
very
nice
piece
of
land
and
improvement
to
sell
to
reflect
it.
The
this
encumbrance
and
the
price,
not
in
the
assessment-
and
he
you
know,
may
be
right
that
it's
going
to
limit
the
amount
of
money
that
might
be
generated
by
a
re
sale,
but
it's
caveat
mdor,
and
I
can
only
hope
that
the
appellant
factored
that
into
his
purchase
price
some
years
ago.
So
again
I
see
this.
F
Thank
you,
mr
huffman
yeah.
I
I'd
I'd
agree
with
foreign
and
support
the
county's
assessment
this
year.
I
think
it's
a
it's
under
a
six
percent
increase
from
last
year,
it's
in
line
with
the
neighborhood
it's
in
line
with
the
comps
for
five
bedrooms:
three
bath
houses.
What
I
would
say
is
you
know
we
have.
We
looked
at
a
case
yesterday
that
they
brought
in
a
plat
with
an
easement
on
it,
and
we
were
able
to
actually
quantify
the
easement
area
and
put
a
discount
on
the
land.
So
that's
not
unheard
of
it's
just.
I
Unfortunately,
the
burden
of
proof
on
on
proving
a
reduction
in
value
is
on
the
appellate
and
not
on
the
county,
so
rick.
If
you
want
to
come
in
next
year
and
and
bring
a
survey,
okay,
like
barnes
kind
of
suggested,
that
that
might
help
your
case
a
lot.
F
No
okay.
Well,
I
will.
I
will
go
ahead
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
also
where
I
am.
I
agree.
I
think
that
this
is
one
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
for
purposes
of
equalization
and
the
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
You
know,
I
don't
think
this
is
something
that
we
would
actually
put
a
lot
of
weight.
Like
the
you
know,
mr
fursetti
wants
to
do.
F
We
have
to
assess
all
properties
like
the
county
does,
and
we
see
you
know
comparable
properties
as
far
as
market
sales
based
on
what
it
is
right
now,
not
necessarily
on
what
it
could
be
done
or
because
people
come.
You
know
I'm
going
to
tear
the
house
down.
I'm
going
to
do
this,
I'm
going
to
add,
but
you
know
we
can't
really
try
to
speculate
and
see
what
could
be
done
with
it.
F
F
Properly,
mr
masking.
H
I
move
that
we
accept
the
department's
valuation
at
1
million
165
200.
F
F
E
A
A
A
G
L
A
Okay,
no
problem
all
right,
moving
to
case
two
on
the
agenda:
rpc03063035
the
property
located
at
45
32
26th
street
north
in
arlington
with
mr
andrew
nevins,
who
is
the
owner
of
the
property
who's
going
to
tell
us
about
it.
You
can
start
with
your
eight
minutes.
Sir.
A
L
L
L
When
the
property
was
relisted,
I
then
bid
on
the
property
and
beat
out
six
other
offers
and
closed
on
the
property
for
nine
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
and
again
that
was
in
january
of
this
year.
L
A
couple
weeks
after
closing
on
the
house,
I
received
my
tax
assessment,
which
was
substantially
higher
than
I
purchased
the
property
for
and
given
the
nature
of
the
you
know,
arms
length,
transaction
and
you
know
winning
the
property
after
beating
out
multiple
other
bidders
in
an
open
market
transaction.
L
D
E
L
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
for
the
county,
miss.
C
Vitus,
yes,
so
4535
26th
street
north
is
a
one-story,
brick
home.
It
was
built
in
1951
with
an
effective
age
of
1970
and
a
quality
of
very
good
minus,
an
exterior
inspection.
The
home
was
completed
by
myself
on
wednesday
february
23rd
of
2021
the
appellant
purchased
his
home
in
january
of
2021
for
900
110
000.
C
He
believes
that
the
property
is
an
average
to
below
average
condition
and
needs
plenty
of
repairs
and
maintenance
due
to
the
condition
of
the
home
and
his
recent
sales
price.
The
appellant
believes
the
county's
assessment
is
too
high.
In
reviewing
the
subject
property.
There
were
several
changes
made
to
the
record
that
needed
to
be
made
in
order
to
bring
the
assessment
in
line
the
subject's
quality
rating
was
too
high
and
not
equalized.
With
similar
properties.
There
were
descriptive
corrections
in
square
footage
and
labeling
of
improvements
that
also
caused
a
reduction
in
value.
C
The
subject
sale
occurred
in
january
of
2021
and
is
going
to
be
considered
in
the
2022
analysis
based
on
the
exterior
inspection
and
recent
sale
of
the
home.
Changes
were
made
to
the
record
and
quality
was
reduced.
This
lower
improvement
value,
this
lowered
its
improvement
value
from
188
300
to
one
hundred
seventy
three
thousand
two
hundred,
we
believe
the
county's
new
assessed
value
of
nine
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
is
fair
and
equitable,
and
we
asked
the
board
to
confirm
our
new
assessment.
J
Came
back
on
yeah,
I
have
a
question.
J
To
the
appellant
were
the
repairs,
you've
discussed,
done,
roof,
etc.
J
L
L
I've
received
two
bids
on
that.
One
was
about
33
000,
the
other
was
35
000
to
replace
the
roof.
Now
that
also
includes
new
fascia
board
and
fixing
the
gutters,
which
are
also
not
properly
installed.
Currently,
as
you
know,
that's
not
just
for
the
roof,
but
most
of
that
would
be
associated
with
the
removal.
L
And
replacing
I
guess,
what
do
you
call
it?
The
shingles
or
the
tiles.
J
E
E
G
J
All
right-
and
I
assume,
there's
other
items
that
you'd
end
up
having
to
make
to
this
house
to
bring
it
up
to
standards.
Not
you
know.
I
It
looked
like,
is
there
a?
Is
it
like
a
detached
garage
or
something
there's,
it
looks
like
there's
two
structures
on
this
property.
L
Yeah,
it
is
generally
detached.
I
would
say
that
there
is
an
enclosed
breezeway
between
the
rear
door
of
the
garage
that
just
gives
me
the
rear
door
of
the
main
house
that
leads
to
the
garage
or
to
the
upstairs
component
of
the
garage,
but
they
both
have
their
own
set
of
four
walls.
If
that
makes
sense,.
C
L
A
H
I
will
only
start
have
a
a
couple
of
notions.
The
first
one
is,
of
course,
as
the
department
mentioned,
the
sale
was
long
outside
the
assessment
period
and
for
all
I
know
the
sale
occurred
after
the
assessment
was
determined
by
the
department,
probably
within
the
same
week.
H
So
it's
it's
as
the
department
said,
it's
clearly
not
appropriate
for
this
year
and
it's
absolutely
appropriate
for
next
year.
I
also
think
the
the
the
value
here
is
mostly
in
the
land
the
department
has
has
has
taken
down
the
improvement
assessment,
but
the
neighborhood
did
well
and
so
everyone
all
the
neighbors
lands,
do
well
from
last
year
to
this
year
and
had
it
not
been
such
a
successful
neighborhood
in
terms
of
sales,
it
could
be
that
the
assessment
would
be
much
lower
closer
to
the
sales
price.
H
And
finally,
I
like
that,
the
comparables
a
lot
and
there's
a
you,
know
some
trade-offs
between
size
of
improvements
and
which
would
take
assessments
down
for
the
comparables
versus
the
condition
of
the
improvements
which
would
take
them
back
up.
So
I
think
this
is
pretty
good
stuff
and
I
agree
with
the
department's
position
on
this.
G
Yes,
I'm
gonna
disagree
with
you
a
little
bit
ken.
I
think
that
you're
right
about
the
lot
value,
because
I
I
went
and
looked
at
that
as
well.
I
think,
on
the
quality
condition
the
county
has
good
and
from
from
what
we've
just
heard,
I
think
the
county.
G
A
My
I'm
going
to
jump
in
here.
I
see
where
you're
going
with
that
barnes
and-
and
I
certainly
you
know,
think
that
that
has
some
merit.
My
only
concern
is
that
the
revised
assessment
and
we're
talking
about
the
building
is
lower
than
what
it
was
for
last
year,
because
I
agree
with
ken.
The
overall
neighborhood
has
gone
up.
You
know
and
we've
seen
this
before.
A
I
I
mean
my
original
thought
was:
take
some
take
some
of
the
roof
issues
into
account,
maybe
not
100,
because
everybody's
got
roof
issues,
but
maybe
50
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
roof
off
of
the
county's.
Revised
number.
H
Excuse
me,
a
very
long
history
of
not
taking
deferred
maintenance
into
account,
especially
in
a
recent
sale,
but
rather
the
market
takes
that
into
account,
and
I
think
it
was
barnes
said
that
you
know
it
reflects
they
got
it,
but
bart
said
a
good
deal.
H
I
I
hope,
because
of
deferred
maintenance,
but
the
the
the
improvement
is
the
improvement.
If
somebody's
not
taking
care
of
it.
That's
not
the
assessed
value.
That's
just
on
the
buyer
and
the
seller.
J
Well,
every
house
needs
maintenance
and
it
is
it's
a
good-sized
house.
The
most
little
value
is
on
the
land.
I
understand
the
maintenance
issues
and
that's
probably
why
he
got
a
good
price.
F
Yeah,
I
think
I
have
to
disagree
a
little
bit
with
barnes
the
the
condition
itself.
I
don't
think
you
know.
I
know
you
have.
You
probably
haven't
seen
all
the
pictures,
but
you
know
looking
at
the
listing
the
conditions.
In
my
opinion,
I
think
it's
what
the
county
has
it's
in
good.
You
know
what
we
would
qualify.
I
guess
in
the
condition
that
the
property
was
purchased.
You
know
it
doesn't.
Look
like
it's
damaged,
the
you
know
hardwood
floors,
yeah.
F
It
may
need
to
be
cleaned
up,
redone
a
little
bit
on
that,
but
I
don't
think
it's
a
valuation
that
we
need
to
make
any
adjustment
at
this
point,
and
you
know
we
can
start
going
and
picking
up
little
things
here
and
there
to
try
to
justify,
but
I
don't
think
that's
the
right
way
to
do
it.
I'm,
okay
with
the
county.
A
E
A
Opposed
okay,
it's
four
to
two
and
that's
without
mr
hoffman
and
mr
lawson,
the
county's
revised
number
has
been
confirmed
at
9,
55
700..
Thank
you,
mr
nevins.
A
All
right,
mr
mrs
sun
cap,
are
you
on
the
call
all
right?
We
will
proceed
without
them.
The
third
case
on
the
agenda
is
rpc01058016.
A
K
Yes,
good
morning,
all
my
name
is
senator
shuttlesworth
and
I
am
assigned
to
the
subjects
neighborhood.
The
subject.
Property
is
an
all
brick
one
store
over
the
basement
house
built
in
1953
and
it
is
situated
on
a
6800
over
a
6800
square
foot
lot.
It
has
1407
square
feet
of
finished
living
area,
3
bedrooms,
2,
full
bathrooms
and
partially
finished
basement.
K
K
The
appellants
believe
that
the
assessed
values
of
homes
should
be
eight
to
ten
percent
lower
than
their
sales
prices,
as
the
sales
prices
include
realtors
commissions,
title
transfer
fees
and
personal
properties
such
as
kitchen
appliances,
the
appellants
also
provided
five
comparables,
all
five
comparables,
which
include
6033
22nd
street
north
2513,
north
sycamore
street
4793,
williamsburg
boulevard,
10507,
north
sycamore
street
and
60
45
26
road
north.
All
of
them
are
dated
properties
and
they
have
inferior
kitchen
and
bathroom
updates.
K
We
believe
that
2612
north
nottingham
street
2711,
north
kensington
street
2305
north
kentucky
street
are
better
a
better
representation
of
the
level
of
updates
than
the
comparables
provided
by
the
appellant
and
while
the
kitchen
appliances
are
not
considered
a
permanent
textures,
they
are
an
integral
part
of
each
kitchen
and
typically,
they
do
add
value
to
the
property
when
dealing
with
their
regular
sales.
K
The
typical
knowledgeable
buyer
expectations
is
to
have
the
kitchen
equipped
with
appliances
when
the
sales
price
of
the
property
includes
personal
personal
property,
typically
not
offered,
for
example,
gym
equipment
or
some
kind
of
electronic
equipment.
Then,
yes,
the
value
of
personal
property
should
be
deducted
from
the
sales
price.
K
The
appliance
state
that
the
sales
prices
of
their
property
should
be
adjusted
downward
as
they
had
to
pay
the
realtors
commission.
We
assess
homes
at
a
hundred
percent,
offer
market
value.
The
sales
price
and
knowledgeable
buyers
willing
to
pay
for
the
property
in
an
open,
competitive
market
also
most
of
the
standard
transactions
involve
an
independent
appraiser
which
who
determines
whether
the
contract
price
reflects
the
true
fair
market
value.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
from
board
members,
mr
yates.
K
J
Okay,
yeah
because
I
yeah
I
was
looking
at
the
past
land
prices.
I
mean
it's
pretty
much
on
the
land
and
the
built
improvement
didn't
change
much,
but
the
land
is
going
up.
A
hundred
thousand
in
the
last
two
years.
K
H
A
quick,
easy
question
for
the
department
comparable
one
has
a
good
size
in
the
same
neighbors.
The
appellant
has
a
good
size,
larger
lot,
but
a
noticeable
less
land
assessment.
Is
there
something.
K
Unusual
about
comparable
one,
comparable
number
one:
okay,
let
me
see
so
there's
about
two
thousand
dollar
difference.
Okay,
let
me
pull
out
the
sheet.
K
K
N
C
N
I'm
looking
at
the
case
as
well
there's
a
negative
five
percent
adjustment
on
that
one
for
sycamore
street,
which
is
considered
a
busy
road.
That's.
H
N
H
K
So
the
subject's
current
assessment
is
supported
by
the
sales
of
similar
style,
updated
homes,
and
the
assessment
is
also
equitable
with
other
compared
to
the
other
story
over
the
one
story
over
the
basement
homes,
and
we
asked
the
board
to
consider
this
the
sales
and
confirm
the
assessment.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank.
G
E
A
A
A
N
Thank
you
and-
and
thank
you,
members
of
the
board
for
hearing
me
out.
I
purchased
the
property
back
in
the
early
2000s
for
use
as
a
place
to
stay
while
working
in
the
dc
metro.
It's
a
second
property
for
me
and
over
that
time,
I've
done
basic
maintenance
to
it.
Nothing
overwhelming,
but
I
can
certainly
share
photos
via
zillow.
If
anybody
wants
to
see
those,
the
property
was
placed
up
for
sale
last
july,
at
a
value
of
around
350
000
and
over
the
course
of
a
year.
N
I
have
had
to
reduce
that
price
with
a
realtor,
of
course
down
and
down
and
down
and
repeatedly
was
told
by
buyers
that
the
building
just
doesn't
reflect
the
value
we
were
asking
for
it.
So
I
received
my
notice
of
assessment
back
in
early
2021
indicating
an
assessed
value
of
around
293
000..
I
was
finally
able
to
get
an
offer
to
purchase
the
dwelling
in
mid
april
and
with
a
concession
of
5000.
At
closing,
we
settled
on
265
000..
N
The
acid
test
really
for
me,
is
what
the
property
sells
for,
and
it's
an
empirical
fact
not
necessarily
a
theoretical
assessment
based
on
modeling.
So
I
respectfully
ask
the
board
to
confirm
the
value
with
what
it
actually
was
sold
for,
not
not
the
estimate.
M
Yeah
good
morning,
everyone,
so
the
subject
is
unit
928,
a
one
bedroom,
one
bathroom
900
square
foot
unit
at
the
horizon
house,
condo,
based
on
the
last
listing
photos.
The
unit
appears
to
have
a
fully
carpeted
interior
kitchen
appears
to
be
newly
updated.
Bathroom
appears
to
have
an
older
renovation,
but
is
still
in
great
condition,
and
there
is
an
exterior
balcony
with
views
towards
the
air
force
memorial.
The
unit
is
on
the
ninth
floor
and
has
a
seven
thousand
dollar
floor
adjustment
with
no
view
value.
M
M
unit
828
sold
on
april
30th
2020
for
323
000
is
currently
assessed
at
289
100..
This
unit
has
a
lower
floor.
Adjustment
and
parking
value
is
also
a
bit
less
than
the
subject.
Unit
905,
which
sold
on
february
26
2020
for
335
000,
is
currently
assessed
at
278
100..
It
includes
a
7
000
floor
adjustment
and
there
is
no
added
value
for
parking
in
this
case
because
it
is
in
a
compact
garage
spot,
the
lowest
price
paid
for
a
unit.
M
That
is
the
same
model
as
the
subject
was
270
000
for
unit
107
on
february
19th
of
2020.
the
unit
sold
for
such
a
low
price
due
to
it
being
near
original
1960s
condition.
The
sales
analysis
showed
that
an
increase
to
the
model
based
rates
was
required
due
to
the
lingering
low
assessment
to
sales
ratios.
M
M
Despite
our
increases,
our
assessments
were
still
far
from
fair
market
value.
After
speaking
to
the
appellant,
he
stated
that
his
unit
was
listed
on
the
market
since
july
of
2020,
and
he
was
recently
able
to
get
an
offer
at
265.,
given
that
his
unit
was
recently
able
to
close,
his
sales
price
will
be
reviewed
when
considering
the
2022
assessment.
M
The
subject
sale
appears
to
be
on
the
lower
range
of
sales
prices,
but
we
have
yet
to
determine
if
it's
an
outlier
since
the
analysis
period,
six
new
sales
of
the
subjects
model
have
sold
and
they
have
ranged
between
305
and
575
thousand
dollars.
All
of
these
sales,
as
stated
before,
will
be
reviewed
during
our
upcoming
analysis
period.
Therefore,
based
on
the
sales
observed
during
the
2021
analysis,
we
determined
that
the
assessment
is
fair
and
equitable,
and
please
ask
the
board
to
confirm
the
2021
assessment
at
293
100..
Thank
you.
M
M
He
has
the
full
garage
space,
okay,.
F
M
I
would
like
to
remind
the
board
that
we
are
not
always
this
lucky
to
get
this
many
comps.
In
most
situations
there
are
a
total
of
291
residential
units
at
horizon
house
condo
and
the
majority
of
the
units
sold
this
year
were
of
the
subject's
model.
The
comps
presented
to
you
represent
how
we
are
under
assessed
at
horizon
house.
The
subject
sale
will
be
considered
for
the
2022
analysis,
so
the
department
requests
the
board
to
confirm
the
2021
analysis
assessment
at
293
100..
Thank
you.
N
Certainly,
the
seven
thousand
dollar
floor
adjustment,
I
feel
to
be
erroneous
because
we
do
face
3.95,
we're
only
300
feet
away
from
the
395
right
away,
so
we
suffer
from
excessive
noise
and,
of
course,
pollution
from
all
the
vehicles.
Secondly,
as
mentioned
before,
the
actual
sale
price
is
what
I
perceive
to
be
the
acid
test
for
any
appraisal,
not
necessarily
a
theoretical
model
based
estimate.
This
building
has
a
kitchen
that
is
approximately
or
this
unit
has
a
kitchen
that
is
between
15
and
20
years
old.
It's
not
new.
N
As
the
appraiser
indicated,
the
carpet
is
just
basic
carpet,
nothing,
nothing
out
of
the
ordinary,
but
again
I
feel
lucky
to
have
sold
it
to
my
understanding.
Nothing
has
sold
after
january
in
this
building.
In
this
model,
the
building
suffers
from
repeated
leaks
in
the
water
system
and
a
turnover
of
management.
That's
just
been
a
problem,
so
it
has
issues
and
I
think,
we'll
continue
to
see
the
values
fall.
But
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
sir
all
right,
it's
just
among
the
board
members.
I
mean
I'll
start.
I'm
not
sure
why
the
property
sold
for
so
small
amount.
If
the
appellant's
comments
are
accurate,
that
the
building
is
going
down
well
then,
I
think
we'll
see
that
next
year,
but
I
think
that
you
know
if
we've
got
six
sales
between
305
and
575,
that's
a
pretty
decent
range.
A
J
Thank
you.
Sorry.
You
know
the
the
appellant's
point
that
the
it's
near
the
highway
all
the
units
and
the
comps
are
similar.
Nothing,
nothing
other
than
the
sale
price
I
think
is,
is
the
issue.
J
It
may
not
have
been
modernized
completely,
but
I
just
I
can't
find
any
reason
that
I
that
there
would
be
any
difference
between
the
other
units.
It's
strong
enough
to
justify
that
big,
a
difference
anyway,.
H
You
know,
between
2
and
12
months
ago
and
further
the
the
sales
comparables,
which
really
are
a
huge
range,
could
could
be
undervalued
when
and
I
think
it's
all
going
to
wash
out
in
the
current
assessment
period
yet
to
be
determined
as
the
department
head
mentioned
so
we're
in
changing
times
and
who
knows
maybe
horizon
house
the
board's
gonna
get
out
that
the
infrastructure's
bad
and
the
opponent's
quite
right.
Things
are
gonna,
be
going
down
and
he
got
out
at
the
right
time,
but
we
we
just
can't
use
this
sale.
F
All
right
that
I
think
coven
may
have
had
some
effect
to
it,
but
I
think
you
know
the
last
year
I've
been
showing
condominiums
and
I've
been
pretty
much
dealing
with
a
lot
of
clients
with
condominiums.
I
think
the
main
thing
is
that
the
condominiums
that
were
fully
renovated
were
selling
fairly
quick
condominiums.
I
had
some
updates
were
not
as
attractive
because
there
were
plenty
of
them,
and
I
think
that
has
had
more
impact
on
a
lot
of
the
units
and
I
think
the
price
that
they
had
originally
is.
F
You
know
350
yeah.
He
wasn't
going
to
sell
it
that
you
know
for
the
price,
in
the
condition
that
it
was
he
was
in
good
condition.
I
mean
you
can
see
the
pictures.
He
has
a
nice.
You
know
the
counters
are
not
granted
or
anything
like
that.
But
they're.
You
know
ceramic
tile,
but
it
was
in
good
condition,
but
the
way
the
county
assessed
it
is
here.
I
think
it's
appropriate.
I
think
the
number
is
correct.
A
A
O
Yes,
very,
very
good
right,
so
this
is
my
one
page
summary
that
I
provided
with
my
appeal:
documentation
to
the
board
of
equalization.
O
So
first
I'll,
just
summarize
some
of
the
what
I'll
refer
to
as
the
facts
for
this
unit.
My
unit
is
a
one-bedroom
braddock
unit.
They
refer
to
the
units
in
fairlington
by
names,
and
so
certain
types
of
units
have
certain
names.
Mine
is
a
one-bedroom
braddock.
It's
in
farlington
arbor
condominium,
which
is
located
in
south
farlington,
which
is
neighborhood
283043.
O
There
are
other
neighborhoods
in
south
farlington
which
I'll
get
to
in
a
moment.
My
unit
has
been
mine
since
1985,
so
this
is
a
long
ownership.
Here,
it's
not
changed
much
from
the
layout
from
the
1970s
conversion
of
the
farlington
units
from
what
had
been
apartments
to
condos
in
the
70s.
O
There
were
some
bathroom
fixture
upgrades
in
the
late
80s
and
new
appliances
about
20
years
ago,
so
it's
very
similar
to
what
it
was
when
it
was
originally
built,
the
neighborhood
of
fairlington
arbor,
as
well
as
adjacent
neighborhoods,
which
are
2
28,
3045
and
283042,
which
are
farlington,
glen
and
fairlington
meadows.
I
may
have
those
backwards
here,
but
these
neighborhoods
have
quite
a
large
number
of
braddock
units
and
they
all
have
the
same
or
very
similar
layouts
other
than
perhaps
being
mirror
image.
O
The
b1
units
are
on
the
second
floor
on
the
left,
and
the
b1
units
are
mirror
image
on
the
right
on
the
second
floor
and
as
far
as
what
these
units
are
like,
they
are
extremely
similar
unless
they've
seen
upgrades
such
as
a
popular
upgrade
now
for
investors
and
has
been
to
buy
braddock
units
and
finish
out
the
attic
and
and
get
a
very
nice
return
on
that
work.
Some
folks
are
also
refinishing
the
kitchens,
as
well
as
the
baths.
O
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
comps
sales
of
braddock
units
in
south
fairlington
are
going
to
represent
the
best
comps
to
determine
the
assessed
value
of
significantly
similar
braddocks
in
south
farlington,
and
I've
got
a
couple
eggs.
Looking
here
in
the
2021
assessment
period,
there
were
two
braddock
sales
that
are
relevant
for
comparison
to
my
unit,
one
of
them
neither
of
these
are
in
the
furlington
arbor
condominium.
O
But
I've
made
the
point
that
these
are
quite
similar
and
in
the
neighboring
neighborhoods
that
are
more
not
more
than
a
block
or
two
away
one
of
these
sold
for
312.
It's
got
a
refinished
kitchen
and
bath.
There
was
another
that
sold
a
little
earlier
than
that
for
275,
which,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
for
what
I
could
tell
from
looking
at
the
online
pictures,
it's
quite
similar
to
mine
now
looking
back
a
year-
and
this
is
to
make
a
point
last
year,
I
did
a
similar
look.
O
Well,
let's
back
up
a
step,
the
average
of
these
sales
is
293.
However,
the
assessment
for
braddock
units
in
fairlington
arbor
is
310
for
2021.
O
O
O
My
conclusion
is
that
definitely
unimproved
braddocks
were
being
assessed
last
year
too
high
and
they're
too
high
again
this
year,
and
I
also
believe
that
the
assessment
of
braddock
units
in
south
farlington
neighborhoods
that
are
virtually
identical
to
one
another
shouldn't
see
much.
If
any
difference
in
the
assessed
value,
looking
back
at
properties,
this
has
been
the
case
typically
but
started
to
deviate
a
bit
more
in
the
past
year.
O
I
also
want
to
make
a
point
that
the
comps
that
were
used
by
the
assessor's
office
as
a
basis
for
supporting
the
current
assessment
two
of
these
comps
are
not
comps
at
all.
They
are
bar
croft
units.
They
are
on
the
first
floor
with
finished
basements
and
walk-out
brick
patios
and
are
they
are
actually
on
the
first
floor
of
the
same
units
that
the
braddock
units
are
on
and
they
do
not
serve
as
acceptable
comps
for
a
braddock
unit,
particularly
if
other
bratic
unit
sales
are
available
to
do
the
comp.
M
So
the
subject
is
a
one
bedroom,
one
bathroom
711
square
foot
unit.
It
is
classified
as
a
7-eleven
braddock
model
at
the
farrellington
arbor
neighborhood.
It
does
contain
an
unfinished
attic
for
the
2020
assessment.
A
department
rental
review
was
conducted
since
the
appellant
brought
to
our
attention
that
some
braddock
units
in
skirlington
had
been
converting
their
unfinished
attic
spaces
and
adding
an
additional
bedroom
and
bathroom
and
after
verified,
verifying
that
information,
a
reduction
of
eighteen
thousand
dollars.
Four
hundred
was
applied
to
the
subject's
assessment,
given
that
his
unit
did
not
contain
the
finished
static
space.
M
During
the
2021
analysis
period
there
was
one
sale
that
was
the
same
model
as
the
homer
homeowner,
but
after
further
review
of
the
sales
listing,
it
was
discovered
that
that
unit
also
contained
the
finished
static
space
and
was
classified
in
the
wrong
model.
So
3472
south
utah
street
unit
b2,
which
sold
on
december
3rd
of
2019
for
487
the
unit,
was
fully
updated
and
had
a
finished
attic.
This
unit
has
now
been
assessed
appropriately
and
is
assessed
at
414
200..
M
On
another
note,
I
would
like
to
point
out
a
correction
on
the
comp
sheet
presented
by
our
department.
The
data
pulled
for
comps
one
and
two
are
townhouse
style
units
which
should
reflect
one
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
square
feet.
Instead
of
the
seven
forty
five
in
the
fairlington
area.
There
are
two
other
neighborhoods
that
also
include
braddock
style
units,
burlington
glenn
and
farrellington
meadows
at
fairlington
meadows,
3439,
south
stafford
street
b1
sold
on
july
of
2020
for
312
thousand
dollars.
M
This
sale
does
appear
to
have
a
remodeled
bath,
an
updated
kitchen
as
well
as
new
carpeting.
So,
given
the
limited
quantity
of
sales,
we
do
try
to
keep
the
grouping
of
the
same
model
at
all
three
neighborhoods,
the
same
so
in
2020,
a
10
percent
accrete
attempt
20.
No
sorry
in
2020,
a
10
increase
was
applied
to
the
braddock
model
at
all
the
neighborhoods
and
in
2021
a
5
increase
was
applied
to
the
model
based
value
at
all
the
neighborhoods
as
well.
M
M
M
Over
the
span
of
the
last
three
years,
we
have
only
seen
six
open
market
sales
of
braddock
style
units
at
fairlington,
arbor,
two
out
of
the
six
sales,
have
flipped
and
are
now
fully
updated
and
include
finished
attic
spaces
during
each
analysis
period.
We
only
see
one
or
two
of
these
units
sell.
Therefore
we
rely
heavily
on
them
and
based
upon
taking
a
second
look.
It
appears
that
our
increase
was
too
aggressive
and
we
would
be
over
valuing,
compare
comparable,
braddock
style
units.
M
M
Yes,
so
the
department
acknowledges
that
the
increase
granted
to
the
subjects
unit
was
too
aggressive
for
2021
and
therefore
would
like
the
board
to
consider
the
reduction
of
twenty
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
the
subject's
2021
assessment
and
bring
it
to
a
new
value
of
289
300..
Thank
you.
M
A
Thank
you,
mr
hill.
First,
before
you
take
your
minute,
could
you
take
off
your
share
screen?
Please.
O
A
O
G
Yeah
I
was
thinking
a
reduction
would
be
an
order
and
I
I
think
what
the
county
has
suggested
is
actually
lower
than
than
the
appellant's
estimate.
So
I
guess
I
would
go
ahead
and
move
to
confirm
the
assessed.
A
F
Well,
well,
it's
not
really
going
to
be
an
opposition.
I
guess
at
this
point,
but
you
know
I
looked
at
all
the
units
that
were
brought
up
by
the
appellant
and
also
the
in
the
other
neighborhoods,
specifically
the
list
that
the
appellant
had
brought
up,
and
you
know
I
thought
that
all
of
those
units
were
in
line
with
the
assessment
value
between
310
and
312..
F
F
A
A
A
P
So
we
have
lived
here
since
the
summer
of
2015
and
when
I
saw
the
assessment
for
this
year's
taxes
I
reached
out
to
the
the
county
and
provided
some
recent
sales
nearby
that
I
thought
felt
were
comparable
with
our
property.
Those
included
3120
8th
street
north
302,
north
kenmore
street
125,
north
oakland
street
they're,
similar
styles,
all
have
slightly
larger
lot
sizes
and
also
finished
square
footage.
P
But
when
you
make
adjustments
for
that,
are
pretty
comparable
with
the
style
and
and
state
of
our
property,
and
you
get
much
closer
to
something
around
like
8
25.
P
As
the
assessment,
the
the
county
responded
after
that
saying
that
they
felt
that
the
assessment
was
was
fair
and
shared
with
me
about
four
other
properties.
They
were
using
as
comps.
P
Some
of
those
have
nearly
double
the
lot
size
are
much
larger
in
terms
of
finished
square
footage.
They
have
things
like
driveways
and
then
fireplaces
and
in
many
cases
more
bedrooms
and
and
bathrooms
than
our
property.
And
so
I
have
come
here
to
to
ask
that
the
board
consider
bringing
our
assessment
more
in
line
with
the
the
properties
that
I
provided.
D
Yes,
good
morning,
this
property
was
virtually
inspected
march
3rd
of
2021.
D
31208
8th
street
north.
This
property
is
not
in
the
same
neighborhood
as
the
subject
property.
The
property
is
a

a
half

brick
brick

veneer

with
three

and
three
full
baths
and
finished
basement
the
property
sold
for
975
000
on

This
is
a
late
sale
that
will
be
considered
in
the
2022
analysis
for
neighborhood
five:
zero,
seven,
zero,

the
current
assessment
of
that
property
is
one
million
twenty
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
three,
oh
two,

oh

north
kenmore
street.
D
This
property
also
is
not
in
the
same
neighborhood
as
the
subject
property.
It
is
a
two-story,
brick
veneer
home
with
three
bedrooms,
one
full
bath
and
finished
basement
this
property
sold
in
original
condition
and
the
and
the
listing
mentioned
that
mentions
that
the
value
is
in
the
land,
the
property
sold
for
899
000
on
429.20,
and
the
current
assessment
value
is
934
000.
D
This
property
is
a
two-story,

This
is
a

that
again
will
be
considered
for
the
2022
analysis
for

D
The

is
919

comparables,
provided
by
the
appellant
all
have
lower
quality
ratings
and
effective
ages
than
the
subject.
There
are
several
differing
factors
with
each
comparable,
including
neighborhood
and
the
type
of
sale
that
would
cause
valuation
differences.
In
the
assessment,
the
the
appellants
neighborhood
506057
increased
on
average
7.4
percent
due
to
sales
that
occurred
during
the
analysis
period.
The
property's
grade
and
effective
age
appear
in
line
with
the
neighborhood.
In
current
condition.
The
subject's
property
is
receiving
a
negative
adjustment
of
five
percent,
which
is
in
line
with
other
properties
of
its
size.
D
You
can
see
from
the
comp
sheet
we
provided
the
following:
comps
216

The

This

D
This

and
the

Twenty,
the
current
assessment
value
is
one
million

This
property
has
a
higher
effective
age
and
greater
square

D
G
For
the
owner
a
couple
questions
in
your
package,
you
indicated
you
could
not
place
a
driveway
on
your
lot.
Have
you
looked
into
that.
P
We
asked
you
to
use
the
property
and
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
information,
that
introverted.
P
We're
really
close
to
long
branch
elementary,
which
is
where
my
two
of
my
daughters
go
to
school,
and
so
when
families
come
and
park
for
drop
off
and
pick
up,
it
usually
gets
backed
up
in
front
of
our
house.
So
as
long
as
I've
got
our
car
there
already
and
haven't
moved
it
we're
good,
but
it's
not
uncommon
for
us
to
return
from
a
grocery
trip,
or
something
like
that
to
have
find
that
the
space
in
front
of
our
house
has
been
taken.
P
So
we're
on
cleveland
street
there's
a
bike
path
and
then
right
behind
us
is
north
edward
street.
G
Okay,
I
don't
think
it's.
I
don't
think
it's
there
any
longer
one
question
for
the
county:
you
applied
a
five
percent
reduction
because
of
the
lot
size
in
when
you
reduce
lot
values
like
for
noisy
roads
and
so
forth.
What's
the
maximum
percent
you
reduce
by
10
on,
would
you
ever
do
10
for
say
a
noisy
road
or
something
of
that
nature?
D
10
is
usually
the
highest
that
we
give
a
reduction
for.
G
D
Okay,
the
properties
grade
and
effective
age
appear
in
line
with
the
neighborhood
and
current
condition.
Again.
The
comparables
provided
by
the
appellant
all
have
lower
quality
ratings
and
effective
ages
than
the
subject
and
will
be
used
in
the
2022
analysis.
The
subject's
land
and
improvement
values
are
in
line
with
the
neighborhood
and
sales
within
the
analysis
period.
We
recommend
confirming
the
current
assessed
value
of
922
100..
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you.
I
would
just
say
that
a
lot
of
the
or
several
of
the
comps
used
by
the
county
are
almost
double
in
terms
of
clout,
size
and
significantly
bigger.
I
would
ask
that
doug
will
consider
reducing
my
property
value
more
in
line
with
with
comparables
in
my
home.
G
I
think
the
only
question
in
this
case
is:
should
the
lot
should
the
land
assessment
be
at
five
percent
or
ten
percent,
and
I
looked
at
several
factors:
you
may
be
able
to
get
a
parking
spot
on
here.
You
may
have
to
go
to
the
bza,
but
you
have
a
property
that
is
grossly
undersized.
It's
not
a
little
undersize,
it's
like
half
of
what
the
ordinance
requires
and
when
you
take
into
account
setbacks.
G
You
can't
have
a
garage,
you
can't
have
the
parking
spot
and
you
know
given
that
and
given
the
fact
of
its
really
small
size,
I
think
a
a
reduction
of
10
percent
would
be
more
appropriate
than
only
five
percent,
and
with
that
I'll
see,
if
anyone
agrees.
H
Yeah,
I'm
sympathetic
to
that
that
point
of
view.
I'll
start
out,
though,
after
that,
by
saying
that
I'm
really
surprised
in
a
north
arlington
neighborhood
that
the
range
of
stair-step
increases
per
land
is
so
narrow.
H
I'm
guessing
the
base
rate
is,
is
800
000
and
for
percentage-wise
a
significantly
larger
lot
to
it
in
this
case
comparable.
Four,
it's
not
you
know.
Every
square
foot
isn't
valued
the
same
as
the
the
one
before
it,
but
this
is
a
very
narrow
range,
but
I
guess
the
the
the
sales
must
justify
people
playing
lots
here
and
don't
care
whether
it's
6,
000
or
8
000
square
feet.
H
This
very
small
non-conforming,
lot
being
only
five
percent
less
than
the
base
rate.
Now
we
had
months
just
very
much
similar
same
neighborhood,
same
size
that
we
reviewed
last
week,
and
I
just
maybe
somebody
could
help
me.
I
don't
know
that
we
looked
at
a
larger
than
five
percent
decrease
in
the
base
rate.
For
those
lots.
Does
anybody
can
recall
that
from
their
notes,
because
I
sure
want
to
make
this
is
equalized
with
those
very
very
similar
lots
that
we
looked.
F
No,
it's
hurricane.
I
don't
really
recall
specifically
about
the
the
last,
but
I'm
I'm
sympathetic
because
the
size,
you
know
we've
seen
lots.
I
think
not
necessarily
this
year
or
maybe
last,
but
that
we're
similar
in
size
that
you
know
they
had
difficulty
trying
to.
I
guess,
sell
them
as
a
lot
to
develop.
They
eventually
did
with
a
lot
of
you
know,
going
back
and
forth
to
the
zoning
appeal
and
getting
approvals
variances
and
all
that
stuff,
but
I
wouldn't
be
opposed
to
making
another
judgment.
I
I'm
not
going
to
beat
a
dead
horse,
but
I
agree
with
everything
that
barnes
and
everybody
has
said
about
the
lot
size
and
the
parking.
The
parking
is
the
biggest
issue.
I
think
that
would
affect
the
market
sales
property.
So
what
I
did
was
the
five
percent
reduction's
already
been
taken.
I
took
another
five
percent
off
the
land,
which
is
thirty,
eight
thousand
dollars.
I
come
up
with
a
land
value
of
722
even
and
the
building
was
162
won,
so
the
total
would
be
884
100.
I
To
make
them
also
a
motion
that
we
reduce
the
land
value
to
722
000,
based
on
the
the
abnormally
small
lot
size
and
parking
issues,
and
and
for
the
total
assessment
of
eight
hundred
eighty
four
thousand
one
hundred
dollars
a
second.
E
A
Aye:
okay,
it's
unanimous!
It's
reduced
to
884
100,
based
on
lowering
the
land
down
to
722.
Even
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
jacobson.
A
F
I
A
F
Yeah
he
froze
also
at
the
vote
time,
but
it's
okay,
I'm
making
a
note
that
he
is
also
in
favor
and
I
didn't
see
anything.
F
A
E
A
All
right,
thank
you,
okay,
well
with
no
other
business,
and
we
will
adjourn
here
at
10,
44
and
re-adjourn
next
tuesday
june
1st
at
9.
All
right
thanks,
everybody.
