As
of
this
morning,
as
of
a
few
hours
ago,
I
should
say
we
have
674
applications
for
comparison
in
2020.
We
had
750
appeals
at
this
same
time,
so
that's
29
days
into
the
appeals
period
and
last
year.
At
this
time
we
had
451
so
we're
up
from
last
year
and
still
down
from
the
year
prior
to
that
of
the
674
200
were
concurred
with
staff,
meaning
the
value
was
resolved
before
the
statutory
10-day
window
and
those
do
not
require
board
action
and
we've
had
just
under
50
cancellations.
J
J
All
of
these
property
owners
have
been,
or
will
continue
to
be
notified
of
their
hearing
date
and
time.
For
this
morning
we
have
eight
cases
scheduled
in
the
first
hour
and
eight
cases
scheduled
in
the
second
hour.
These
property
owners
were
all
notified
last
week
and
asked
to
respond
if
they
wished
to
appeal
via
phone
or
in
writing.
If
they
responded
that
they
wish
to
appeal
via
phone,
I
sent
the
call-in
information
and
instructions
if
they
wish
to
appeal
in
writing.
J
You
can
review
what
was
submitted
by
the
property
owner
and
can
act
based
on
that
documentation.
If
the
property
owner
did
not
respond,
the
board
has
options.
For
example,
you
can
review
what
was
submitted
and
act,
or
you
can
take
action
to
sustain
the
market
value.
Either.
Option
preserves
the
right
to
appeal
to
the
hennepin
county
board
of
appealing
equalization,
as
is
true
for
all
cases
on
the
agenda.
Throughout
the
upcoming
days,
our
team
notifies
the
opponent
of
the
board
action
and
provides
information
on
the
next
steps
in
the
appeal
process.

Good
morning,
everyone,
chris
detling
5004
russell
avenue
south
in
fulton
neighborhood.
I
recently
purchased
a
home
and
this
home
in
august
and
got
the
tax
value
notification
for
payable
2023
and
it
seemed
like
the
valuation
seemed
high
to
me.
So
I
did
a
little
bit
of
research
using
the
tools
that
the
the
city
provides
about
comparable
properties
and
sale
prices,
and
so
using
the
city's
website.
K
My
my
home
is
896
square
feet
above
ground
square
feet
and
has
one
bathroom.
So
it's
a
it's
a
small
house
in
a
neighborhood
of
of
fairly
large,
you
know
remodeled
1920s
homes
and
I
purchased
the
home
for
353
thousand.
Additionally,
those
comps
that
I
pulled
many
are
significantly
larger.
Some
have
three
and
four
bedrooms
instead
of
two
bedrooms
like
I
have
many
have
two
bathrooms
instead
of
one,
so
you
know
adjusting
for
those
differences.
The
the
indicated
value,
I
think,
should
be
even
less
than
371..
K
My
I
feel
like
the
value
should
be
similar
to
to
the
purchase
price.
I
know,
that's,
that's
not
that's
not
the
way
values
are
determined.
The
purchase
price
doesn't
necessarily
indicate
the
value,
but
you
know,
based
on
on
this
research
and
also
the
appraisal
that
that
was
provided
at
the
time
of
of
my
my
purchase.
It
feels
like
353
would
be
the
right
number.
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
add,
but
I
will
be
here
for
questions
if
the
group
has
any
thank
you.
J
I
F
F
K
K
So
it
you
know
I
was
able
to
get
the
financing
and
but
I
would
note
that
the
the
comps
in
the
appraisal
were
not
the
best
comps,
but
I
wasn't
going
to
argue
them
because
I
you
know,
I
needed
the
finances
secured
and
and
just
the
banks
felt
comfortable
with
it.
So
I
I
let
it
go,
and
often
appraisals
come
in
come
in
higher.
You
know
kind
of
a
buffer
from
from
purchase
price.
So
that's
those
are
my
thoughts
on
on
the
appraisal.
I
L
Good
morning
my
name
is
kirsten
kavanagh
my
address
is
4014
xerxes
avenue
north
my
home
is
in
the
victory
neighborhood
of
north
minneapolis,
and
I
received
my
estimated
market
value
at
533
000,
which
is
a
65
000
increase
over
last
year.
My
last
year's
was
468
000,
so
it
seems
very
high
based
on
the
tools
that
the
city
gave
me
in
regards
to
estimated
market
value
being
a
result
of
additions,
remodeling
and
market
sales.
I
have
not
had
any
additions
or
done
any
types
of
improvements,
so
that
only
leaves
market
sales.
L
I
pulled
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
of
similar
sales
in
the
neighborhood
and
nothing
is
even
close
to
533
000,
the
closest
on
the
same
street,
but
different
block
is
3954
xerxes
avenue
north,
which
sold
in
september
of
21.
for
399
000..
It's
also
a
three
bed
two
bath
home,
another
one
that
sold
in
july
of
2021
is
2700
victory.
Memorial
drive
that
is
actually
more
bedrooms.
Four
bedrooms,
two
bathrooms
similar
square
footage
at
22.85
it
sold
for
390
thousand
dollars.
L
E
L
F
Yes,
I
have
one.
This
is
board.
Member
of
the
dertha.
I
I
did
notice.
I
appreciate
all
the
information
again
that
you
you've
supplied
the
the
properties,
the
pages
that
have
many
sales
on
there's.
Not
there
is
none
that
have
square
footages
even
near
you.
You
have
a
larger,
much
larger
home
than
all
all
of
those,
maybe
the
other
properties
you
mentioned,
maybe
not
so
maybe
they're
closer,
the
ones
at
40,
22,
xerxes
and
the
other
two
on
xerxes,
but
the
that
big
list
of
properties.
N
My
valuation
at
289
000,
would
represent
a
14.2
percent
increase
over
last
year.
In
fact,
it
would
be
twenty
seven
point.
Eight
percent
increase
over
the
last
two
years.
According
to
redfin
city
data,
the
average
sale
price
in
my
zip
code
increased
4.6
over
the
last
year
and
the
average
price
per
square
foot
was
190
per
square
foot,
whereas
if
my
valuation
goes
through,
my
house
at
904
square
feet
is
going
to
be
valued
at
320
dollars
per
square
foot,
which
is
really
astounding.
N
N
N
N
I
G
O
O
E
O
O
F
I
I
found
that
the
information
provided
by
the
applicant
regarding
square
footage
price
was
very
incorrect.
I
got
much
higher
split
footages
than
indicated
for
those
particular
sales,
so
the
information
provided
was
not
particularly
helpful
in
coming
up
with
some
kind
of
a
decision
about
whether
or
not
this
is
the
correct
evaluation.
F
H
E
This
is
board
member
palmer,
the
data
that
the
appellant
provided,
the
written
data
was
basically
just
citing
increases
in
value,
so
there
was
really
no
comparison
to
other
sales
and
and
historically
the
data
that
city
provided
me.
So
the
that
values
have
been
increasing
dramatically
the
last
few
years,
so
I
see
no
reason
to
change
the
value.
F
I
I
have
a
question:
is
this
is
board
member,
though
maybe
I
don't
know
if
I
missed
anything
at
the
beginning.
I
just
remember
from
last
year
too
that
if
these
folks
always
have
a
chance
to
to
contact
the
assessor,
these
are
late
applicants,
so
they,
if,
if
they
provide
more
information
to
the
assessor's
office
and
maybe
they'll
get
you
know,
of
course,
can
go
on
to
the
company.
So
I
just
want
to
make
find
out
if
we're
all
clear
on
the
ads
that.
J
I
E
I
H
F
C
E
This
is
board
member
palmer.
I
I
just
make
a
note
that,
on
the
notes,
appellant
said
that
had
been
listed
for
sale
for
two
years
and
currently
listed
at
one
million
eight
ninety
five,
which
is
still
slightly
above
the
assessed
value,
and
I
would
have
liked
to
see
what
she
originally
listed
it
for.
You
know
before
they
reduced
the
price,
but
we
didn't
have
that
chance,
but
it
still
appears
to
me
that
it's
it's
slightly.
I
E
F
F
You
know
that
you
know
six
seven
years
ago
and
it
isn't
that
much
above
truly
percentage-wise
isn't
that
much
above
that
a
little
concerned
about
a
1.4
million
dollar
offer,
but
we
haven't-
I
we
haven't,
got
anything
in
front
of
us
to
substantiate
that
we
it's
I'm
not
saying
it's
hearsay,
but
it's
we
don't
know
much
more
about
it,
so
I
I
don't
think
we
can.
I
personally
don't
think
we
can
act
on
it.
I
As
I
said,
this
was
originally
listed
in
october
of
2019
for
2
million,
actually
2
395
000
and
had
several
price
drops
in
between
and
as
as
it
mentioned
by
the
applicant,
they
had
only
received
a
offer
for
1.4
which
they
rejected.
I
will
say,
however,
there's
a
as
of
friday:
they've
accepted
an
author
subject
to
an
inspection,
but
of
course
we
have
no
idea
what
that
author
is.
So
that's
really
irrelevant
at
this
point.
E
I
I
I
E
I
have
some
discussion.
There
was
an
appraisal
provided,
and
he
did.
Mr
detling
did
do
some
was
online.
The
appraisal
I
looked
through
briefly
looked.
Okay,
but
again,
I
believe
his
property
was
a
little
smaller
than
some
of
the
comps,
so
you
would
assume
it
would
have
a
little
higher
per
square
foot
value.
So
I
I
I
I'm
trying
to
resolve
that.
Maybe
this
deserves
us
a
cut
down
towards
the
370
or
375
of
the
appraisal.
F
I
G
H
I
F
Board
member,
but
I
I
think,
as
I
mentioned,
to
the
appellant
that
it's
so
much
larger
than
any
of
the
other
homes
and
it
is
on
the
parkway
up
there.
I
didn't
do
a
lot
of
study
on.
I
think
that
40
22
xerxes
is
a
close
to
the
same
size
as
far
as
above
grade,
I
think
they're
both
2400
square
feet.
So
that's
would
be
a
good
comparable
if
that's,
but
I
don't
that's
valued
at
it,
isn't
a
sale.
So
that's
where
I
have
a
little
trouble
with
that.
I
I
will
say
that
this,
a
particular
property,
is
kind
of
the
jewel
of
the
neighborhood.
It
is
bigger
than
everything.
It
is
really
lovely.
It's
an
outstanding
house
by
comparison
with
everything
around
it,
which
I
know
makes
it
hard
to
to
come
up
with
a
value,
but
I
have
no
problem
with
the
fact
that
it
is
valued
at
a
higher
rate
than
others
around
it,
because
it,
it
is
more
house
more
square
footage,
just
kind
of
a
stand
up
in
the
neighborhood.
E
I
Yeah,
that's
that's
a
good
question.
I
think
the
real
relevant
question
and
my
notes
on
this
was
a
big
question
mark
about
whether
to
sustain
or
reduce.
So
I
think
you
know
what
I
would
not
be
adverse
to
a
reduction.
The
500
might
do
stumping
of
a
benchmark,
but
again
over
and
over
again
I'm
surprised
at
what
people
are
willing
to
pay
in
today's
market.
I
F
I
E
I
would,
I
would
agree
with
that,
except
I
I
think
some
of
the
comps
maybe
doesn't
have
them,
but
are
going
to
deal
with
some
of
the
same
issues,
maybe
not
as
directly
as
his
is.
I
I
heard
I
mentioned,
and
I
believe
it
was
redfin
data
they
looked
at,
but
the
actual
sales
in
that
neighborhood
year
over
year
were
up
five
percent
from
what
he
said.
E
I
I
H
F
Remember
bergertha,
I
just
my
notes
were,
and
I
just
looked
at
it
again-
there's
no
no
comparables
here
to
in
in
this
in
this
paper.
I
think
he
admitted
that
too
that
he
had
none.
So
I
I
have
we
have
nothing
I
feel
like.
I
have
nothing
to
to
go
up
or
down
from
the
value
on
this
or
more
more
to
hold
it
than
go
anywhere
else
with
it.
E
I
I
would
say:
that's
in
that
kingfield
neighborhood,
which
is
extremely
popular.
There
are
a
lot
of
large
houses
there.
I
grew
up
in
that
area
and
those
those
houses
accommodated
large
families,
as
I
would
call
it
that's
back
when
everybody
had
six
seven,
eight
ten
kids,
so
I
have
been
in
many
of
those
homes
and
have
so
many
of
them.
So
it
is
a
very
nice
area,
mr,
what
is
his
name?
I'm
sorry.
I
I
I
B

Good
morning
for
members
and
chair,
I
come
to
you
this
morning
actually
in
regard
to
three
properties:
180608
bryant
avenue,
north
1426
emerson,
avenue,
north
and
1414
emerson,
avenue
north.
It's
my
understanding
that
I
have
five
minutes
per
property
to
make
a
case
for
you,
but
rest
assured
I'm
going
to
try
and
condense
things
down
by
speaking
to
all
three
together
and
save
you
some
time.
I'm
sure
you
hear
a
lot
of
people
raining
against
higher
taxes
in
general,
but
this
one
is
something
clear.
I
Can
you
wait
just
a
moment,
please?
I
appreciate
you
wanting
to
put
them
all
three
together.
However,
we
need
to
have
it
on
the
record
each
one.
So
please
speak
to
the
first
one,
which
is
1806-08
or
slash
away
bryant
and
when
you're
finished
with
that,
I
will
ask
for
the
next
one
and
when
you
finish
with
that
with
the
next
one,
just
so
that
we
have
it
recorded
correctly.
Oh
so
with
that
in
mind,.
M
I
also
included
a
written
summary
expressing
my
inks
that
I
know
many
of
my
neighbors
felt
upon
receiving
evaluations
in
the
mail
in
recent
years,
and
I'd
like
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
properties,
I'm
here
to
specifically
speak
about
today
at
the
corner,
west,
broadway
and
linda
avenue,
north.
It's
a
problematic
merwin
liquors
and
a
gas
station
that
north
siders
have
dubbed
the
murder
station.
M
He
can
tell
you
that
the
violence
at
this
intersection
bleeds
and
go
over
into
neighboring
areas
specifically
has
directly
impacted
our
properties
in
the
following
ways.
We
do
apply
from
bryant
to
just
one
block
away
from
this
intersection
cars
look
around
the
corner
at
broadway
and
bryant
exchanging
gunfire.
One
of
our
attendants
was
taking
her
dog
for
a
walk
and
nearly
got
hit
just
out
in
front
of
the
house.
M
In
the
past
five
years,
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
other
two
duplexes,
but
I'll
kind
of
go
through
them
and
keep
past
them
right.
Now,
then,
I
guess
when
you
compare
I'm
here,
that
I
want
to
point
out
that
I've
lived
in
north
over
20
years,
where
local
landlords
report
our
blood,
sweat
and
tears
into
restoring
these
homes
providing
stable
housing
for
our
neighbors,
which
is
how
we
view
our
tenants
they're
our
neighbors.
We
didn't
get
into
rental
ownership
to
make
money.
M
This
is
one
of
your
required
findings
and
here's
how
it's
relevant
to
what
I'm
speaking
about
today.
I
referenced
the
value
from
five
years
ago,
because
it's
notable
turning
point
in
the
valuation
increases
for
properties
such
as
ours
in
areas
like
north
minneapolis
and
phillips
powderhorn.
At
the
same
time,
the
tax
cuts
and
jobs
act
of
2017
created
opportunity
zones
and
the
irs
defines
opportunity
zones,
as
quote
an
economic
development
tool
that
allows
people
to
invest
in
distressed
areas
in
the
united
states.
M
The
purpose
is
to
spur
economic
growth
and
job
creation
in
low-income
communities,
while
providing
tax
benefits
to
investors.
Now,
how
is
that
purpose
of
helping
investors
played
out
in
my
community,
though?
Well,
it's
been
widely
published
that
between
18
and
24
of
all
home
sales
every
year
for
the
past
few
years
have
been
by
large-scale
investors,
hedge
funds
and
those
such
they're
driving
up
costs,
hogging
the
market
and
by
last
fall.
The
share
of
home
sold
to
investors
had
reached
nearly
27
percent.
M
Researchers
have
calculated
that
the
real
estate
deals
by
these
investors
were
directly
responsible
for
increasing
prices
by
more
than
20
percent.
On
average,
now
couple
those
two
factors
together:
the
absentee
investors
gobbling
up
housing
stock,
plus
the
added
candy
being
dangled
up
investor
lucrative
opportunity
zones
being
established,
and
we
get
to
where
we
are
today.
Random
increases
in
valuation
due
to
outside
investor
influence.
In
no
other
way
could
I
explain
a
shocking
increase
in
gun
flying
gun
violence,
somehow
increasing
that
property
value
at
bryant
by
79
percent.
M
M
The
average
local
dollar
circulates
five
or
seven
times
when
absentee
investors
on
rental
property
every
month
leads
to
further
capital
flight
money,
leaving
our
communities
every
month,
and
since
the
majority
of
households
in
areas
like
north
minneapolis
are
severely
cost
burdened,
meaning
that
more
than
half
their
income
goes
to
paying
rent
or
housing
costs.
It
means
half
of
the
dollars
in
our
community
are
leaving
the
area
every
month
directly
due
to
absentee
investors.
This
prevents
our
areas
from
ever
having
a
robust
commercial
economy
where
businesses
can
thrive
and
where
we
can
have
more
employment
opportunities.
M
So
how
is
any
of
this
relevant
to
the
hearing
today?
Well,
simply
put
you
have
a
limited
ability
to
adjust
things
unless
they
follow
one
of
the
three
criteria
I
listed
earlier.
So
I
believe
that
the
three
properties
I
am
appealing
about
today
qualify
for
an
adjustment
due
to
increase
or
to
the
assessed
value
due
directly
to
the
third
criteria,
are
properties
being
valued
differently
from
similar
properties
in
our
area.
It's
because
the
valuation
is
being
driven
by
a
broad
brush
stroke
that
includes
absentee
investor
price
hikes.
M
I
submitted
between
north
minneapolis
and
northeast
it's
night
and
day,
so
we're
not
being
valued
by
similar
properties,
but
by
properties
that
have
an
entirely
different
purpose
again.
To
quote
the
irs
that
singular
purpose
is
to
provide
tax
benefits
to
investors
and
every
single
one
of
my
properties
that
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
and
many
in
north
are
defined
in
the
opportunity
zone.
So
I've
submitted
some
conflicts
to
lower
valuation
for
similar
properties
to
ours
in
the
packet.
M
So,
instead
of
all
the
expensive
valuations
that
are
being
proposed,
there
are
many
properties
that
sold
in
the
low
200s,
but
those
are
even
farther
away
than
the
ones
than
we
are
to
the
murder
station.
So
I'm
proposing
less
value
to
that
one
as
a
result,
although
you'll
note,
they
still
are
an
increase
from
their
value
five
years
ago
and
lastly,
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
you
take
this
into
consideration
when
reviewing
any
and
all
property
evaluations
in
north
minneapolis
and
phillips
powderhorn.
M
While
I'm
able
to
adjust
my
schedule
to
come
here
today
and
eke
out
a
little
time
to
file
an
appeal
before
the
deadline,
many
of
my
neighbors
lack
the
time
or
means
to
do
so.
If
we're
serious
about
writing
historic
wrongs
and
having
more
equitable
future
for
our
city,
then
I
ask
you
to
take
a
serious
look
at
the
impact.
These
increased
valuations
in
north
minneapolis
will
have
on
displacement
and
on
maintenance
and
quality
living
environments.
M
To
things
such
as
this,
and
at
a
time
when
other
areas
of
the
city
are
seeing
plateauing
or
even
dropping
property
taxes,
it
seems
unfair
to
balance
the
budget
of
the
city
on
the
backs
of
committees
most
in
need
of
support
and
all
because
our
government
decided
to
reward
investors
at
the
expense,
quite
literally,
of
communities
like
mine.
The
valuations
I
proposed
for
those
two
properties
reflected
calculation
idea
of
subtracting
20
from
the
proposed
2022
estimated
market
valuation,
which
was
the
amount
calculated
by
moody
analytics
as
being
increased
solely
due
to
speculative
investors.
M
It's
attracted
a
slightly
higher
amount
for
the
bryant
property
due
to
immediate
adjacency
to
such
rampant
gun
violence
and
the
fact
that
it
has
been
subject
to
a
79
increase
in
value
alone.
In
the
last
five
years,
I
feel
this
could
be
a
standard
means
of
analyzing
changes
in
valuation
for
areas
like
north
minneapolis,
given
that
investor
driven
spikes
and
housing
costs
are
well-known
phenomena,
particularly
neighborhoods,
like
mine,
and
this
is
an
actual
mathematical
means
of
adjusting
things-
to
meet
the
required
criteria
of
valuing
properties
based
on
similar
properties
in
the
area.
M
Basically,
the
increased
valuations
that
these
properties
are
experiencing
are
directly
attributable
to
the
influence
of
absentee
speculative
investors.
These
cannot
then
be
considered
as
valuations
to
properties
that
are
similar
to
ours,
which
is
the
third
criteria
by
which
you
can
examine
and
re-establish
property
evaluation.
M
I
believe
I
have
offered
you
the
opportunity
to
use
the
power
you're
given
in
your
official
capacity
to
in
one
small
way,
help
write
a
great
round
for
neighborhoods
like
north
minneapolis
and
allow
our
community
to
remain
intact
without
the
displacement
of
our
neighbors
and
fellow
community
members.
And
I
respectfully
ask
that
you
reduce
the
valuations
for
our
three
rental
properties
through
requested
amounts,
as
well
as
those
of
my
northside
neighbors,
and
those
in
communities
like
stars
and
phillips
potterhorn
which,
although
not
north
side,
has
experienced
benefit
many
of
the
historic
redlining
and
racial
covenant.
M
I
Stated
your
case
very
eloquently:
if,
for
the
other
two
properties,
there
is
anything
other
than
what
you've
already
talked
about
for
the
first
case,
I
would
ask
you
to
go
ahead
and
say
that,
but
to
keep
it
to
a
minimum
for
the
other
two
properties,
all
right,
very
good.
So
I
will
simply
ask
right
now:
if
the
board
members
have
any
questions
or
having
a
discussion
for
the
property
in
item
number
14,
which
is
1806-08.
E
I
have
a
question
about
that
property,
the
other
two
of
the
appellant.
This
is,
mr
palmer.
I
see
your
rents,
you
indicated
your
rents
on
each
each
one.
What
has
your
vacancy
experience
been
on
these
properties
over
the
last
few
years?
Has
it
changed
dramatically
or
they've
been
pretty
full
throughout
these?
The
last
couple
years.
M
So
we
lived
a
few
blocks
north
on
25th
after
we
after
we
moved,
but
we've
held
on
to
it,
and
we've
had
probably
between
the
three
duplexes.
I
think
five
of
our
former
tenants
have
gone
on
to
buy
homes
in
north
minneapolis,
because
they've
been
able
to
save
up
money.
Our
current
tenants,
let's
see
the
one
on
the
one
side
of
this
particular
property,
has
been
there
gosh,
nine
or
ten
years.
M
M
The
upstairs
units
had
a
little
bit
more
turnover,
but
that's
because
it's
a
three-bedroom
unit
and
they've
like
usually
been
like
families
that
have
either
moved
into
home
situations
like
bought
their
own
home
or
they've,
been
just
young
professionals,
so
it
that
one's
that
one's,
probably
like
the
the
nicest
unit,
but
even
then
they've,
been
there.
I
want
to
say
two
or
three
years
now
we
we,
these
are
our
neighbors.
You
know
like,
then,
when
they
buy
houses,
one
bought
the
house
on
the
other
side
of
the
alley
from
the
duplex
1414.
E
M
The
the
one
lower
unit
at
14
26,
she
moved
out.
Well,
she
was
supposed
to
move
up
by
the
end
of
december,
but
she
needed
a
little
bit
of
an
extension
because
it's
hard
to
find
housing
and
get
things
moved
so
officially
by
the
end
of
the
year.
But
you
know
we
just
let
her
stay
for
a
few
weeks
just
to
get
her
stuff
out.
M
No
I'm
trying
to
get
repairs
made,
but
again
it's
really
hard
because
no
contractor
wants
to
come
and
give
me
bids-
and
I
say
this
as
an
architect
with
many
connections-
it's
hard
to
get
people
out
and
when
we
do
get
them
the
bids
are
really
much
more
expensive
than
I
would
say,
the
warrant
market
would
warrant
because
they
know
it's
a
tight
market
already
given
construction
constraints
and
supply
chain
issues.
But
on
top
of
that
they're
going.
M
I
I
M
Well
I'll,
just
I
guess
say
everything
I
said
for
bryant
applies
here,
except
it's
just
a
couple
more
blocks
south
than
our
than
the
bryan
avenue
property
and
a
block
over,
but
black
and
have
over,
but
the
one
on
the
corner.
The
only
other
thing
I
would
add
is
that
we've
also
experienced
the
impact
of
gun
related
violence
that
1426
the
house
itself
has
been
hit
by
stray
bullets
twice,
which
appears
to
siding
and
broke
at
least
two
windows.
M
This
is
the
one
where
the
lower
tenant
ended
up.
Moving
out,
her
son
was
studying
in
the
living
room
when
she
was
at
work
and
a
bullet
went
right
through
the
window,
and
it
was
terrifying
for
all
of
us,
because
I've
known
him
since
he
was
a
baby.
It
has
also
been
hit
by
high-speed
cars
that
were
racing
the
wrong
way
down
the
one-way
street,
because
we
don't
have
very
good
traffic
enforcement,
so
we
lost
that
long-term
tenant
as
a
result
of
it
and
the
other
unit
who
lives.
M
The
other
tenants
have
lived
there
over
five
years.
They
lost
their
jobs
during
covid
and
have
went
like
18
months
without
paying
rent
and
which
I
totally
understand,
because
it's
a
tough
time
for
us
all.
It's
just
hard
to
see
how
that
property
value
would
have
increased
by
64
in
the
last
five
years.
Given
everything
we've
experienced
in
north
minneapolis
and
I
honestly
as
someone
who's
really
dug
into
affordable
housing
crisis
issues,
and
I
I
used
to
serve
on
the
planning
commission.
M
We
look
out
for
each
other,
but
you
can't
help
it.
If
people
have
to
move
and
same
here,
I
can't
fathom
increasing
rent
by
64
over
five
years
for
any
of
those
tenants.
So
I
I
find
it
hard
to
stomach
it
between
property
taxes
and
then
insurance
costs
going
up
20
every
year
and
then
construction
costs.
I
I
M
D
I
D
I
I
B
G
I
know
the
housing
market
is
hot
over
not
two
years,
and
I
only
expecting
the
price
to
increase
about,
maybe
fifteen
twenty
percent
over
the
next
two
years,
a
messaging
twenty
five
percent,
and
even
though
the
assessed
value
should
be
around
like
twenty
two
hundred
twenty
thousand
to
two
thousand
two
hundred
forty
thousand,
not
the
best
285
thousand,
which
is
which
is
too
high
for
for
us
so
yeah.
Therefore,
I
think
and
then
over
the
last
couple
years
I
haven't
done
any
improvement
or
repairs
since
2018
when
I
bought
the
property.
F
G
Oh,
yes,
this
property
was
vacant,
so
we
went
through
the
vegan
building
process
and
then
basically
we
done
everything.
City
requires
and
we
prove
permeate
and
do
the
repair
and
once
everything
is
done
in
2018
and
the
evaluation
value
is
about.
165
thousand
one
ct
check
everything
and
they
re-evaluate
the
process
at
that
time.
G
And
then
this
year
the
value
increased
to
285
000.
That's
about
how
many
percent
70
80
increase
over
only
three
years,
which
is
which
is
too
high
and
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
And
if
you
look
at
the
average
housing
increase
in
minneapolis
area-
and
I
was
only
expecting
maybe
maximum
25
increase
over
the
not
three
years.
P
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
hearing
our
requests
for
an
adjustment
based
on
local
comps
in
a
recent
sale
attempt,
so
our
house
4725
grand
avenue,
was
recently
assessed
to
be
worth
about
3,
399
000,
and
we
believe
that
our
house
could
sell
today
for
about
320
000
and
are
appealing
the
city
valuation
for
the
following
reasons.
P
We
have
about
12
just
over
1200
square
feet
of
livable
space
and
our
layout
is
non-traditional,
which
has
turned
off
some
prospective
buyers,
particularly
those
who
are
a
little
taller
than
us,
the
current
residents.
So
in
july
2020
we
listed
our
house
on
the
market
for
320
000
and
received
no
offers
at
that
price.
We
got
one
offer
at
309
thousand
dollars,
but
the
for
the
person
making
the
offer
pulled
out.
After
an
inspection
we
received
no
other
offers
and
decided
to
pull
our
house
off
of
the
market.
P
Then
in
august
2020,
our
house,
we
had
an
appraisal.
As
for
the
purpose
of
refinancing
through
jnr
appraisals,
the
house
was
appraised
at
335
000.,
then
looking
looking
to
a
little
more
recently,
the
comps
in
our
area
are
not
from
what
we
can
tell
relative
to
our
property,
or
the
specifics
of
our
property
are
not
near
400
000..
There
are
some
comps
that
I
believe
were
shared
in
a
document
by
my
wife.
P
P
The
second
address
was
4717
second
avenue
south,
which
closed
for
300
000
in
october
2021
and
the
third
was
4623
wentworth
avenue
south,
which
closed
for
308
308
000
in
november
of
2021,
and
these
as
our
realtor
was
helping
us
look
up
here,
closer
in
square
footage
and
non-traditional
kind
of
spaces,
and
so
those
for
those
reasons
we
are
we
are
requesting.
You
know
a
change
in
the
assessment
of
our
cities,
of
the
city's
valuation.
F
I
I
Q
Go
ahead,
hello,
madam
chair
and
board
members.
My
name
is
gene
richardson
I
am
the
owner
and
occupant
of
4653
drew
avenue
south
located
in
linden
hills.
I'm
also
have
also
been
a
realtor
for
edina
realty
for
19
years,
and
so
I
know
my
market
pretty
well,
I'm
asking
an
alteration
in
the
market
value
for
this
home
due
to
the
fact
that
432
000
for
this
home
is
an
astronomical
price
for
798
finish
square
feet
of
a
distressed
property.
Q
I
purposely
have
not
updated
this
property
much
because
of
the
location,
and
I
there
are
now
seven
tear
down
rebuild
homes
on
my
block
alone,
so
I,
although
I
would
be
sad
to
see
it
go.
I
really
believe
that
that's
what's
in
its
future,
so
really
what
we
have
here
is
a
lot.
I
did
submit
five
comparable
properties
in
the
area:
a
two
bedroom
one
plus
bath,
one
plus
car
garage
ramblers,
the
best
comparable
property.
Q
Well,
first
of
all,
let
me
say
a
little
bit
more
about
the
subject:
property
some
city
records
say
that
there
that
this
is
a
two
bedroom,
two
bath
property
with
one
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
some
finished
square
feet,
and
that
is
not
the
case.
I
have
what
I
would
call
an
illegal
bathroom
in
the
basement,
which
is
disconnected
there
is
no
plumbing
venting
tissue
inspector
would
never
pass
it
and-
and
there
are
no
reasonable
methods
to
vent
the
plumbing.
Q
Q
I
think
that
I've
sent
numerous
photographs
showing
I
have
a
water
intrusion
problem
in
the
basement
and
I
have
the
the
flooring
is
gone
and
the-
and
I
have
numerous
spots
of
rotting,
of
the
of
the
paneling
in
the
basement
and
that's
all
going
to
have
to
come
down.
So
the
bottom
line
is
I'm
a
two
bedroom
one
bath,
one
car
garage
home
with
798
finished
square
feet.
Q
Q
000
and
this
particular
home
is
much
nicer
than
my
home.
As
I
said,
my
property
is
distressed
and-
and
I
know
this
one
well
as
I
was
the
listing
agent
for
the
home
in
2009
when
it
sold
and
it
it
is
a
it's
a
beautiful
property
with
all
new
windows
and
newer
windows,
a
bay
window,
beautiful
hardwood
floors,
original
built-in,
bookcases
and
buffet
new
bathrooms,
and
an
extra
bathroom
in
the
basement
and
a
two-car
garage
and.
A
Q
Said
that
sold
and
closed
last
september
for
350.,
and
so
that's
that's
the
closest
comparable
and
of
the
comparables
that
I
provided
the
sale
prices
I
used.
I
used.
There
are
homes
in
the
aren't
two
in
the
armitage
neighborhood
two
in
fulton,
which
are
very
close
and
then
two
in
my
own
neighborhood
of
linden
hills.
The
highest
price
sale
was
4621
france,
avenue
south,
which
sold
for
376
thousand.
Q
That
was
a
two
bedroom
one
bath
one
car
garage
with
960
finished
square
feet,
so
150
roughly
more
finished
fair
square
feet
than
I
have,
but
this
particular
home
had
been
totally
renovated.
Walls
removed
so
meeting
the
the
the
current
trend
for
totally
open
design
and
and
beautiful
updates
center
island
brand
new
kitchen
gorgeous
bathroom,
376,
000
and
again
compared
to
my
home
with
original
windows
and
doors
and
a
1950s
kitchen.
Q
That
would
be
541
dollars
per
finish
square
foot
and
I'm
sure
you
all
agree
you
can
all
can
agree
that
that's
a
little
bit
high
a
lot
high
for
a
distressed
property
and
then
I
also
went
on
to
and
I've
sent
photographs.
I've
sent
many
photographs
of
the
home
of
my
home
and
information
on
the
comparable
properties,
the
five
comps
and
but
I
also.
Q
Some
are
two
baths,
but
mostly
one
bath
and
smaller
vintage
homes
and
the
sale
prices
in
the
last
year
range
from
two
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
seven
ten
to
the
highest
property,
which
is
the
one
I
mentioned
on
france
avenue
at
376
000..
So
I'm
asking
the
board
to
please
reconsider
my
estimated
market
value,
which
I
believe
is
extremely
high.
I
E
Okay,
I'm
there
so
I
mean
that
woman
had
a
lot
of
credible
comments,
but
it
didn't
relate
to
the
value
as
such,
so
I
just
looked
at
her
rents
and
she
didn't
have
any
vacancy
problems
and
that's
why
people
buy
these
rental
properties
to
get
this
income
and
it's
the
vacancy
rate's
very
low.
The
only
thing
I
noticed
was
on
the
at
the
first
property
in
1806
brian.
E
I
would
have
to
say
I
live
in
golden
valley,
I'm
familiar
with
this
area
that
that
is
a
not
as
not
as
good
as
even
his
her
properties
on
14th
and
emerson.
It's
it's
right
off
broadway
and
if
you
did
the
gross
rent
multiplier,
her
rent
is
19.50
on
that
into
our
value.
It's
it's
a
10.3
gross
rent
multiplier.
Her
other
properties
are
9
and
9.3.
E
F
F
The
unfortunate
thing
is:
an
appraiser
has
a
hard
time,
looking
at
different
buyers,
meaning
if
it's
a
corporation
coming
in
to
buy
properties.
They
don't
look
at
each
buyer
or
potential
buyers,
but
they're
looking
at
the
market,
so
it's
really
hard
to
distinguish,
but
I
understand
her
passion
and
whatever
about
the
property
values.
I
and
I
know
the
assessor's
office-
works
heavily
with
sales
and
tries
to
keep
things
as
equitable
as
possible.
That's
why
I
feel,
like
these
properties
have
already
been.
F
They
know
the
area
you
know
through
their
through
their
cama
system
and
it's
put
a
value
on,
and
I
think
if,
in
my
opinion,
if
we're
gonna
lower-
and
I
don't
mind
lowering
these
values,
it
should
be
kind
of
almost
percentage-wise
they're
kind
of
in
the
same
area.
I
don't
disagree
with
mr
palmer
that
14th
and
in
emerson
is
a
slightly
better
area,
but
I
think
we
should,
because
the
assessor
is
trying
to
be
so
equitable.
F
I
Using
the
information
about
crime
shot
spotter,
she
did
include
the
map
of
the
shot
spotter,
which
is
peppered
with
in
her
comments.
She
talked
about
bullets
piercing,
you
know,
siding
and
coming
through
windows
and
people
being
assaulted
on
the
street
or
shot
at
or
whatever.
So
I
think
that
really
needs
to
be
taken
into
consideration
and
that
has
increased
in
the
last
year
or
two
dramatically
all
over
the
city,
but
particularly
in
this
area.
I
I
E
E
E
I
Board
members
that
you
don't
have
to
agree
with
the
motion
to
second
it,
but
in
order
for
us
to
have
meaningful
discussion
and
and
keep
things
moving
in
in
a
manner
that
we
should
be
moving
in,
we
need
a
second
in
order
to
discuss
the
motion.
You
can
second
it
and
then
you
can
argue
against
it
if
you
wish,
but
let's
not
sit
here
looking
at
each
other
waiting
for
a
second
okay
discussion
on
2
12..

Assuming
this
is,
this
is
a
pretty
good
market
down
in
52nd
and
zenith
the
she
says
in
her
comments.
I
failed.
I
don't
understand
how
it
would
go
up
so
high,
it's
an
11.6
percent
increase
year
over
year.
So
I
think
that's
very
typical
from
what
I
see
in
that
area.
I
I
don't
have
any
idea
exactly
what
it's
worth,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
the
percentage
increase
is
in
line
with
other
stuff.
I
You're
correct,
mr
palmer:
it
is
a
very
hot
neighborhood
there,
just
a
couple
blocks
from
the
creek
and
not
much
inventory
at
all
and
an
increase
of
the
amount
indicated
here
is
not
one
of
the
questions,
some
of
the
some
of
the
comparisons
I
did
actually
looking
at
other
things.
It
probably
would
sell
for
the
upper
eights
from
what
I've
been
seeing.
It's
wild
any
other
questions
and
comments.
F
F
I
don't
know
if
there's
been
appeals
in
other
years
or
whatever,
but
the
assessment
has
stayed
the
same:
745
000
from
2019
to
2021.
There's
some.
You
know
when
the
market's
going
up
and
that
stayed
the
same
after
the
the
owners
bought
it
for
740
000
back
in
you
know,
2017.
I
don't
know
if
that
meant
it
was
recognized
that
they
had
paid
too
much
or
what.
F
But
it's
unusual
I
believe,
especially
for
that
area
of
town,
which
is
pretty
hot,
to
have
the
value
held
the
same,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
because
it's
been
petitioned
or
appealed
every
year
or
if
the
they
just
the
assessor's
office
couldn't
get
or
probably
just
maybe
even
ask
for
a
review.
I
really
don't
know,
that's
just
a
comment
so.
I
I'd
say
for
sure,
but
I
don't
know
if
this
is
coming
for
us
in
the
last
two
or
three
years
it
may
have
gone.
It
may
not
have
gone
as
far
as
coming
to
this
board,
but
given
what's
going
on
in
that
neighborhood,
I
would
without
seeing
the
house
itself,
but
knowing
the
neighborhood.
I
think
it's
quite
possible
that
it
could
so
easily
sell
for
8,
32
or
more.
I
F
H
D
E
Just
a
comment:
he
does
have
an
appraisal
in
here
and
I
briefly
looked
at
it.
It
seemed
credible,
but
the
date
is
august
18th
of
2020
for
335
000.
So
I
don't
have
exact
number
my
suggest
we
take
that
appraisal
and
increase
it.
Whatever
the
market's
gone
up
since
then,
I
don't
think
his
other
information
is
cr
is
as
credible
as
this
appraisal.
So
maybe,
if
it
went
up
10
or
a
little
more
than
that
would
be
like
370
000
somewhere
in
that
range.
I
I
didn't
find
the
comps
particularly
helpful,
going
over
to
fifth
avenue
a
different
neighborhood
grand
avenue
quiets
down
after
46
regard
regarding
traffic.
He
did
indicate
that
his
house
is
kind
of
unusual.
We
talked
about
people
taller
than
any
so
that
can
sometimes
take
properties
out
of
the
running.
Somebody
is
not
short,
and
the
ceilings
are
also
very
low,
so
that
you
know
could
be
a
problem.
They
had
it
on
the
market.
I
think
for
some
notion
here,
but
it's
they
had
one
author
and
that
didn't
sell.
E
I
F
I
G
H
I
F
My
my
only
one,
I
think
it
was
well
presented
and
a
lot
of
good
information.
The
appellant
did
keep
talking
about
it
being
798
square
feet.
The
assessor
has
920
798
and
the
assessor
has
a
928
which
is
about
16
percent
more
and
it's
not
they're.
Both
that's
both
are
small
numbers,
for
I
believe
it
must
be
a
one-story
home.
F
But-
and
I
don't
know
she-
we
were
always
talking
about
finished
area
or
so
I
didn't.
I
was
good.
I
probably
should
have
asked
her
what
her
dimensions
of
her
house
were
to
verify
that
the
the
difference
between
the
sizes,
but
otherwise
I
felt
she
has
a
lot
of
good
information.
The
fact
that
the
bathroom
in
the
basement
does
not
work
and
some
other
things
about
the
basement,
I
think,
should
warrant
a
reduction
from
the
432
000.
E
Yeah,
I
agree
that
the
square
footage
discrepancy
when
this
is
so
small
kind
of
makes
a
large
difference,
but
the
assessor
says
928
on
the
first
floor
and
even
if
you
don't
assume
that
she
had
problems
in
the
basement,
let's
say
it's
not
finished
or
not.
Usable,
that's
still
928
is,
is
100
some
square
feet
more
than
the
790
that
she
said.
So
that
makes
me
leery
the
other
thing.
E
What
she
kept,
calling
it
a
distressed
property
and
I
a
distressed
property
me
is
one:
that's
got
foreclosed
on
or
is
there
some
kind
of
financial
issues?
I
I
wouldn't
call
this
a
distressed
property
in
that
manner.
So
I
I
I
don't
know
I
I'm
not
sure
on
this
one
faith,
maybe
a
little
reduction
or
maybe
none
with
that
square
footage
discrepancy.
I'm
just
not
sure.
I
Okay,
first
of
all,
this
is
lyndon
hills,
so
you
know,
you
know,
put
stars
all
around
it
and
you
know
exclamation
point
you
know
you
know.
I
live
in
london,
hills,
people
that
live
in
lyndon,
hills,
don't
say
they
live
in
minneapolis.
They
say
they
live
in
the
union,
hills
just
like
people
in
saint
paul.
If
they
live
in
the
park
saint
anthony
park,
they
say
they
live
in
st
anthony
park,
don't
not
in
st
paul.
I
I
I
So
I
think
the
reason
she's
been
in
the
432
is
because
in
aggregate
it
looks
like
this
is
a
much
more
expensive
property,
because
everything
around
it
has
created
a
much
higher
value.
Supposedly,
so
I
would
be
quite
willing
to
reduce
the
price
or
the
value
by
a
considerable
amount.
I
didn't
note
an
amount,
but
I'm
thinking
in
the
400
000
range.
E
That
sounds
plausible
to
me.
I
I
just
want
to
comment
on
her
best
comparable.
It's
on
her
block.
It
seems
similar
it
sold
what
date
was
at
september
of
21,
so
it
isn't
that
old,
but
the
list
price
was
372
and
it
sold
for
350..
I
mean:
wasn't
this
still
a
period
where
there
was
multiple
offers
or
things
were
selling
at
the
list
price,
and
so
that
kind
of
concerns
me
that
that
sells
for
350
is
listed
for
372.
I
I
suspect
that
that's
what
happened
anna
and
she
I
know
she
called
it
distressed
property.
I
would
agree
with
you.
It's
not
distressed,
but
I
think
what's
happening
here.
Is
she
figures
when
it
does
sell
it'll
be
a
tear
down,
so
she
does
not
want
to
invest
any
money
into
it.
If
it's
only
going
to
be
toned
down,
which
it
probably
will
be.
So
I
think
that's
what
she's
referring
to
when
she
started
to
distress
property.
So
not
what
I
would
call
the
stress,
but
it
certainly
needs
needs
some
work.
I
F
I
agree
with
all
of
that.
I
had
I
had
penciled
enough,
originally
400
and
then
down
to
3.75,
because
I
was
given
a
lot
of
weight
to
those
sales
that
were
near
her
and
she
described
him
now.
We
haven't
seen
him
and
I
can't
verify
everything,
but
it
was
a
nicer
property
and
all
this
and
that
it
was
sold
for
350
and
it's
very
close.
So
I'm
I'm
thinking
south
of
400.
