G

Good afternoon this is laura wade. My address is 620 upton avenue south in minneapolis. Can you hear me? Yes, we.

B

Can please proceed.

G

Okay, um um so my 848 square foot home can't compete with any of your comparison properties and I already submitted all the comparisons mine and yours and my property value I feel- has diminished over the years being boxed in and shadowed on the south side by a two and a half story, mcmansion built within inches of all allowed property lines.

G

According to the zoning department and my entire west side, a bus, a nuisance development site, I've already had to put up with for three years with the erection of 73 story, rental town homes, about to begin in earnest, eliminating the last of any semblance of privacy of my property.

G

um I love my bryn mawr bungalow, but, having my assist value increase over 17, I just don't feel as fair on april 13th, lisa goodman um at our bryn mawr neighborhood association meeting said that bryn mawr homes went up five to fifteen percent this year, based on all the property search results submitted to you. I feel my market value should not be increased at all. um I've been crunched numbers for a week and in 20 between 20 and 2021.

G

My market value went up, two percent for 2021 to 22, went up 10 percent and now it's gone up 15, but with the decrease tom said, market value exclusion that makes it 17.4 increase, which is going to make my taxable market value, 286 433 and I just there's I would be shocked if I could get that much money from my home, which hasn't been updated ever since I've moved in. um I have gotten a new furnace like 18 years ago or whatever, but that's about it.

G

You know the kitchen is just the same as when I bought it, the stove barely works. I mean if you want to come and see. Maybe that would be the way to do it. I don't know I've never done this. So that's all. I have to say thank you for giving me the time to speak.

B

Board members, you have questions for this applicant.

H

Hi, this is board member palmer. So, just summarize, uh your home was built in 1927. What? How many updates from original has there been any kitchens or baths or anything.

G

No nothing I I did replace when I first moved in. I replaced all the pipes because there was like no water pressure, but that's all I've done, and otherwise it's just been general upkeep. I'm a chef and my kitchen is hysterical. People laugh at me because they're like how do you cook on this tiny stove?

G

You know it's. Okay,.

I

G

Okay, thank you.

B

Any other questions from board members.

B

Okay, um thank you very much for your presentation. We will make a decision you'll be notified by mail. Okay,.

G

Is it okay that I hang up or should I stay on or what's the procedure.

B

um You can do as you wish we're just going to be hearing some more cases. Okay,.

G

Thank you so much.

F

B

F

Who's next, the next applicant is for the property at 4513. First avenue south case number 22060, please unmute your phone state, your name and address and present your case to the board.

J

uh Hello, uh thank you for hearing my case. My name is jill mclean odegaard and I'm calling regarding 4513 first avenue south I purchased my home in 1989 when interest rates were 9.5 percent and the property taxes were 495 dollars.

J

I've been happy to watch my property value rise, but the most recent assessment seems successive 20 since 2022 keeping in mind something I heard earlier in this hearing about 25 seems reasonable for a five-year increase. My property value has gone up 57 since 2017 when it was valued at 198 thousand five hundred dollars during the pandemic. The houses on both sides of mine were sold for amounts that were unbelievable to me, three hundred and seven thousand dollars for the property on the south and three hundred and forty nine thousand dollars for the property.

J

On the north. I expected my value to increase simply by being located between these two properties, but not by 20. My husband and I had been friendly with the neighbors, but had not been in either of these homes for many years. So reviewing the zillow listings and seeing the photos of the interiors, it became apparent to me why these homes had sold for so much more money than I would have expected.

J

They had done significant renovations, finishing the basement, adding egress windows, refinishing, floors, updating kitchens plus both have two bathrooms and more livable space than my home.

J

I did an evaluation of all the homes on the block which I submitted. As my evidence from the information I was able to unearth online. The houses that had higher values had many things that our house does not have. My house has one bathroom with no shower no fireplace, no central air conditioning, an unfinished basement and no new wood floors. The garage is so small that a large suv would not fit my husband and I can fit our cars in that space.

J

If we turn in our mirrors and go very slowly, we park on the street, my house is listed as having three bedrooms, but one of them is a five and a half by seven foot room that, due to the lack of closets, has been turned into my husband's closet and the other bedroom is a dressing room for me that, as as the one 11 by 11 master bedroom, has only a crawl space and no closet, my new kitchen was renovated in 1996 and the appliances replaced in 2003..

J

My new dryer is 24 years old and the washer is nine. The boiler is 18 years old. We had to replace the roof for the second time in 2015, and that was the biggest update in the last decade. We had the windows reglazed in 2020 and replaced the storm doors in 2018..

J

My new carpet from 20 2005 is from 2005 and ready to be replaced. There are numerous cracks in the wall throughout the house and when I had the center for energy and the environment out here, a couple months back, they suggested.

J

If I wanted the home to be warmer, I could spend several thousand dollars insulating the walls in the first floor, which have almost no insulation and a few more thousand updating the insulation in the attic or just turn up the thermostat to sell this house for 321 000 would require extensive renovation in terms of comps, I'd like to bring your attention to 4537, first avenue so south, just up the block which sold for two hundred and fifty four thousand four hundred and fifty dollars last year.

J

The lot size and square footage is similar, the main difference being the one extra bedroom in my property, which, as I explained, is not really a bedroom, but 4537 also has central air a fireplace and hardwood floors amenities. My house does not have don't get me wrong. We don't live in a dump. Our house is well taken care of, and if you stop by, you might even think it was pretty nice, but there's much work to be done before it could sell for three hundred and twenty one thousand dollars.

J

So I hope you will consider my request for reduction in value. Thank you for your time.

B

Board members, do you have any um questions for this applicant.

C

Yes, my only uh question is: is referring to the the small bedroom or room as you call it. On the second floor, I notice the assessor's record only carries two bedrooms on the second floor with a third room, so that must be the third room that they talk about, but aren't declaring it a bedroom up there uh and then they they note. A bedroom on the first floor is what I show.

J

Well, there's a room off the kitchen. Yes, that is. um I can tell you what that I said I use as an office, and that is, uh I guess, eleven by eight.

J

Oh okay, thank you very small small room, but yes,.

B

Other questions.

H

uh Just one question is uh board member palmer: you don't have a lot of information, but you mentioned this sale at 4537, first avenue uh sold in 2021.

H

Do you have the square footage for that house and and.

J

Submitted a spreadsheet that showed the the the values and the square footage of every house on the block. Did you not get that.

H

Oh, no, I got it on the other page, but I'm not seeing money.

J

No, yes, I have it here. uh 4537 uh is okay square feet and the lot size is 54.73 built in 1918.

H

J

H

Do you know what month it sold by any chance? It was 2021..

H

Okay, I see that that I see the data now in the spreadsheet. um I just wonder what month it sold. Thank you.

B

Any other questions.

B

All right, uh thank you for your presentation. We will make a decision and you'll be notified by mail.

J

Oh and he it was october 25th 2021 that that house sold okay. Thank you all right. Yes, thank you very much.

B

uh Who's, our next uh person on the line.

F

Madam chair would be for the property at 851 river muse court number 201. case 220665.

F

If the applicant will please press star six, it appears your phone is unmuted. Please state your name and address and you'll have five minutes to present to the board.

I

Just checking in to make sure I'm there.

B

You're there and we're here go ahead.

I

All right, thank you. uh My name is steve robertson, um presenting on behalf of 851 river muse court unit number 201.

I

So thank you for hearing our appeal myself. On behalf of my self and my wife. We live in a small, three-story, condo building of 15 units that was built in 2004 within the building. There are four identical units: 201, 205, 301 304..

I

All of us have the same floor plan all have the same original finishes: cabinets.

I

Bathroom facilities and so forth all have hardwood floors all have the same balcony space. All of them are exactly the same, except that our unit is the only one that does not have a fireplace. The only substantial difference between the units is that two of them are on the top floor.

I

The 301 and 304 and those ordinarily would command a slightly premium value. Both those top four units, 301 and 304, successfully appealed their market valuation back in about 2018 2019 after the sale of unit 304.

I

At that time, both units received the same market value and they have had the same increases year to year and are currently valued at 414 thousand dollars.

I

Inexplicably, our unit number 201 one floor below is currently valued at four hundred and fifty six thousand a full forty, two thousand dollars more than those exact same floor plan size units between 2021 and 2022, our taxable market value increased by 29 500, while the market value of 301 and 304 the comparable units on the top floor only increased by 27 500 hours.

I

Not only did our unit start at a higher base value, but its value increased 2 000 faster than our neighbors with the same units. Nothing substantiates the inflated market value of our unit in comparison to similar units.

I

If all of our four condo units in the building were to go on the market at the same time, the sale price of one would dictate the sale price of the other. It's unlikely that we could get a higher sales price just because our taxable market value is 42 000 higher.

I

I'd also note that two more four two more top floor units in our building, 302 and 303 with floor plans slightly larger than ours are valued substantially less than our unit. Our unit has 1763 square feet, 302 and 303, or 1883 and 1948 just slightly larger, and I don't know the values for those units for 2022, but for 2021 they were valued almost 30 000 less than our unit.

I

So we respectfully request that our unit number 201 be given the taxable market value of 414 000 the same that has been assigned to the two top floor units in our building. With the same floor plan same square footage, even that will not restore the homestead exemption that we lost three years ago and they are only losing this year. However, it will restore some equity and parity to the valuations of our identical condo units in our building.

I

So thank you for hearing our appeal.

B

Okay board members: do you have any questions for this um applicant.

H

Hi, this is board member palmer, so you said that they, um the other two units you say, are almost identical: successfully appealed in 2019 or what year was that.

I

I believe the sale was 2018 and I think they appealed in that, maybe even that same year, maybe that at the time of their appeal. Yes, I'm not I'm not exactly sure of the date, but it was right at the time of their sale.

H

Okay, and and have there been any other sales of any units in your in your building since then closer to the 2022.

I

There was a smaller unit, different floor plan that sold uh last year or two two years ago,.

I

March of 2021 unit 104 that sold downstairs, but it's a smaller uh different unit, different configuration.

H

What what did that sell for.

I

That one sold for 357.

H

Okay and it's smaller than that, yours.

I

uh Yes, it is uh 1266 square feet. Okay,.

H

B

uh Is the chair chair bland? um What what do you have for parking spaces there.

I

uh We have a the building, has an underground parking garage, so there are three floors of units and then an underground parking garage. uh Those are all uh valued separately, um so we have. We actually have three parcels, as do most of I think I I think all of our neighbors have uh similar arrangements, but those are valued separately uh at eight thousand. Eight hundred, I think now and we're not appealing that value. Those are those are pretty consistently valued across the board. I think all of us have two, but.

B

um Okay, um but those are valued separately. What is your view.

I

uh We we said immediately, but we sit immediately below uh 301, so it's the same view which we we're in the back of the townhouse complex of east river muse. So we we look out over uh the the same trees and and so forth that they do.

I

In fact, one of one of the factors of our condominium complex is that we spend a lot on our landscaping um and once you get inside you'll see that it's very well landscaped. So we we have a nice view out that way, but there's no there's no real difference in the views, even at the other end of the building. They just look at a different part of the com. The uh downhills complex.

B

Okay, um I think that's all the questions. I have board members any other questions.

B

um Thank you, mr robertson. We will make a decision and you'll be notified by mail.

I

Thank you for hearing our appeal. We uh thank you.

B

Welcome. Thank you.

F

B

More person on the line.

F

Yes, madam chair, um the last applicant is for the property at 1102, 26th avenue southeast case 2206 61..

F

If you please, press star sticks to unmute which looks like you are unmuted state, your name and address and you'll have five minutes to present.

K

My name is kevin callahan. I reside at 1102 26 avenue southeast in the southeast como area, just off of east hennepin avenue. In a small house, I've lived in for 33 years, I'm a retired homeowner. The house is a one bedroom one bath built in 1947 500 square feet, so the assessor wasn't able to point to any identical comparables in the neighborhood, but said generally, their computer model for the city indicated an increase in the area of about six percent.

K

Two specific factors to the house value in this particular case suggest to me the value has not increased by six percent but may have decreased, and these factors are as follows. First, my house last month was included in a federal, superfund toxic waste cleanup area for the cancer causing chemical tce. You might have seen this morning news about tce and white bear township and its health effects.

K

Previously, the minnesota pollution control agency put two holes in my basements lab for air monitors, which they did and although they did not get readings requiring immediate remediation at this moment, if someone was thinking of doing a tear down and remodel, they could obviously disturb old chemical pollution from the industrial area was, which is just across the street. To my north, my house is right on the border of the superfund site and I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy a house inside the site when there are others nearby in my backyard.

K

When I dig down about six feet, I find pure white beet sand, and this area apparently was an old peat bog and when they scraped the ground to make 26th avenue southeast to find a solid base to start a foundation.

K

The neighbor told me that a road scraper was actually below ground before it came to something solid part of my house on the south end sank a bit when someone before I bought it tried to uh add a porch on. So my roof line is not straight: it's not a straight line as a result. A second factor. This year, that is new, that I've never seen before in 33 years of living here is a sudden increase in crime. In the two blocks around my house last weekend there was an armed robbery, two blocks away.

K

At the subway restaurant there was a catalytic converter stolen in the back alley. This spring in december, bullets were shot into a house, 600 feet away and the bullet casings were recovered by police.

K

This spring there was a carjacking 200 feet away from where I'm sitting right now and although there has been a general increase in crime in the city, this is new for this neighborhood. As far as I know, in 33 years of living here, I've never seen anything like this year.

K

My car has been scratched and vandalized repeatedly by people trying to break into it on the street and in the alley, and I've never been concerned before, for my safety and property like this, and I'm not sure how safe it is for university and augsburg students to live in this specific neighborhood area anymore.

K

If, as laura williams indicates, there is a change in the current property data, the city has in its computer model for the general area, the specifics of this particular property, with the announcement of its being within a federal toxic superfund area and the change in the neighborhood's crime and safety picture offsets that, in my view, uh thank you for very much for listening.

B

Thank you board members. You have questions for mr callahan.

H

This is board member palmer, just a question on the interior. They haven't listed, his fair condition. Is it all original? Has there been any updating to any of the fixtures in the kitchen bath or any rooms.

K

No uh though, it's not in great condition, uh I've sent photographs to the uh city assessor's office, yeah, it's a older property. uh I have problems with uh uh some of my appliances and so forth, and there has been no uh improvements.

K

Okay, thank you.

B

Any other questions.

B

Mr calhoun, thank you very much for your presentation. We will make a decision and you will be notified by mail.

C

B

uh Just that is that it for the callers.

F

And I'm sure that concludes the callers for this segment of the of the meeting.

B

Okay, let's move on to uh making some decisions, so our first property would be 5516 street northeast case number. 22-0655.

B

Discussion motion: where are we.

F

You are correct, madam chair: the property is 2516 garfield street.

C

There wasn't a lot of information given they said they reviewed the neighborhood sales information, but didn't supply a whole lot of data to leave me to think one way or the other, as the value is too high or too low, so they weren't asking for much. The owner asked did mention uh they wanted uh somewhere between 265 and 268 and they're on at 274..

C

um I I'm just unless somebody has the comments, I'm going to make a motion to sustain the value.

H

My only comment is, it did go up 14.6, but um it's so close to the range that she wants and she was, but she was looking at medians and averages, so it really weren't comparable. So uh I guess I would agree.

L

C

I moved to sustain the value at 274.

L

C

H

B

All right, you move by the duration, a second and by palmer to sustain the value at 2516 garfield street northeast clerk. Would you please call the wall membertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Cherubland hi, there are three eyes the motion is adopted.

B

Next one is 5405 queen avenue south case number, 22-0656.

L

C

B

One apparently is eight: it sold for 310.

C

Right, it says the assessors uh it isn't registered on the assessor's field card, yet so it might be in the um another uh process of getting uh recorded.

C

So I know no more about it other than uh what was listed, that it had sold for 310 000.

B

um Yeah, so it was the sale for 310 in march um certainly indicates. I think that 438 is probably not the right evaluation.

B

A lot of indications here about the condition of the house and just the whole idea that it reeks with cigarette smoke as far as I'm concerned is about a hundred thousand dollar takeoff um yeah yeah.

L

B

For a fixer-upper, I'm guessing.

H

Yeah, it's tough to say, because I I who knows the circumstances, the sale, we saw a sale earlier where they bought it from their parents or whatever. So I don't want to put much weight until I see that they do have an average minus condition.

H

The pictures are, you know, they're, not good, but I I it's hard to tell is some of those in the basement I mean if they're in the basement. I don't think it makes as big of a difference as if they were on above grade stuff, um it's hard to tell there. So um if we just make a condition adjustment, um I would lower it a little bit, but I I would be hesitate to go all the way to that sale price. I don't know enough about it.

B

They need to get an assessor in. There is what they need. Yeah, it's hard for us sitting here to make those decisions. Without you know, more data.

H

Right well, the other thing is that that's a good address you're at 5405, queen.

L

H

If you put some money into it, you're going to be able to turn it around pretty quick, so.

B

I got to believe that whoever bought this was looking for a fixer-upper. You know what they're doing.

H

Right so I I don't know just for condition if you'd fi five percent would be twenty, some thousand um I'll move, we reduce the value to four hundred fifteen thousand.

B

To reduce the value at 5405, queen avenue itself to 415 000., please call the goal board. Member bodertha.

D

B

Board member palmer, chair bland- I there are three eyes motion is adopted.

B

uh The next one is uh 2400 bryant avenue south case number, 22-0658.

H

I just have a note: this is a residential house built in 1902. It's it's huge, 5840, 58, 48 square feet. That's got to be.

B

One of the bigger it's also gorgeous. It is one of the nicest houses I've ever seen. If you've ever been to the swedish art institute, it's that kind of finishing beautiful woodwork. It is probably when these people bought it. I had been in there when it was for sale, and I just was awed by it. Now they were here last year um to appeal their assessment um according to what they said last year and are saying today there's some maintenance that needs to be done.

B

It would be a real shame if some of that beautiful finishing was wrecked by in water intrusion or whatever else, but it is I'm very biased towards this house. I think it is gorgeous now is it if it were another area, it would be a whole lot more. um You know, 24th is pretty busy along it's a bus route. Remember six bucks goes by there very regularly and it's a good good through street for the neighborhood.

B

H

Right and then they cite the appraisal and it looks like it got lower to the appraisal, but that was three or four years ago and the increase this year was only three percent. So.

L

H

That appraisal being long in the tooth, I I don't have a problem with a three percent increase on this house if, if nothing's changed for condition, so I'm going to move that we sustain the value at 984.

B

To sustain the value at 2400, bryant avenue, south berkeley's, calm law board member but ertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair, bland hi, there are three eyes uh the motion is adopted. Next we have um 620 upton avenue south and the case number is 22-0659.

B

This was a call-in.

H

My comments would be the good good bryn mawr neighborhood, um it's all original, so it says average condition, maybe it's a little less than average or dated- um and this is this is just an observation. We've had a number of homes that are like five to 900 feet that have appealed all over the city, and so I I think, maybe they just maybe they're a little high. These little small one bedrooms. We've cut a number of these and all over the city in different areas. So I'm thinking a slight reduction on this one.

B

um I'm sympathetic with the mcmansion that was built next door and the um there's an apartment. Some you know. Suddenly this your views are cut off. Your light is cut off. um It can really make a difference in the enjoyment of your abode. So I have some sympathy with that.

B

um Otherwise you know bryn mawr, um uh probably the type of house. It is um probably not all that far off, but I would be sympathetic to us some slight reduction.

C

But could uh either of you remind me, I know: um brynn margo is both on the north and south of uh highway. 394 is this south of 394, then.

B

No, I don't this.

H

Is not, this is literally a half a block north and it's it backs up on that uh and watton school. I think it is there's a school back there. I think it's literally on that right next to that. Okay, so I would I I'll move that we reduce the value to 280 000.

L

B

C

B

Okay, it's been moved by palmer second and invites the durka to uh reduce the value of 620 upton avenue to 280 thousand clerk. Please call the roll.

B

Board member about eartha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes the motion series next is 4513. First avenue south is number two to zero. Six six zero- and this was um another calling.

H

um She had some decent data there once I uh the one sale she mentioned, um you know it's a 2021 sale. A lot of our sales are really old. I wouldn't put much weight on it. um I I don't know how much weight to put on the 254 54 to hers it's a little different. But um again I I think what I'm saying it. It should be under 300 000 anyway, somewhere around 300 000 or a little less than that. um I wouldn't want to go too high on it, um because it is.

H

It is a thousand square feet, but then she said her second floor. Is she didn't make sense steve? You asked her about the extra room and she said there was a room on the first floor or something off the kitchen, and I didn't quite understand her answer to that.

C

She said she was using it as a den because the assessor's record showed a one bedroom on the first floor. I just didn't want it to be anybody being misled, that there wasn't three bedrooms in the house or noted as three bedrooms uh she's using that as a um as a uh uh office. I guess on the first floor because I was appalled to hear a five by seven was uh noted as a bedroom, and it really isn't uh the assessor has it down just as a room so on the second okay.

B

Okay, so it says that there are three bedrooms upstairs, and one of them is the five and a half by seven. So it says third bedroom upstairs so she's got the room on the first floor, which is in an office, and there are two bedrooms up and then the closet, if you will right.

C

So the assessor still notes it as a three-bedroom house, but one of them is on the first floor.

B

Yeah and one on the first day.

B

um Yeah, I'd be okay with something less than what's theirs; no.

H

Yeah I'll almost that we reduce the value to three hundred thousand.

B

H

C

B

All right, we move by timer second and by derta, to reduce the value of 45 13 percent yourself to 300 000.. Let's, please call the rule board member aboderta.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair blind hi, there are three eyes the motion is adopted.

B

Okay next is 1102 26th avenue southeast case number, two two dash zero six six one now.

L

This is a call.

B

In this is the guy with the super fund site.

C

Right and well, it's very small. um It's only at a hundred and six 000.. um I don't know what you can get for: 106 000, not that I know it's a small building and maybe the condition isn't there either and the uh he's on the edge of the super fund and there's there's sometimes there's uh some credits and things you can get for uh for being near that and but it has to go through a whole process to get them. But.

H

Well, the other point is so they they put monitoring devices right in there and they aren't levels that are required to do anything yet so my mind, that's a good thing. You know that it hasn't gone.

H

You know to be detrimental at your site as long as they're monitoring it all the time, instead of not knowing so um the other thing is it it's on at such a small va, it's another one of those small houses. But, as you said, it's a hundred thousand there's nothing for a hundred thousand. um He wants reduction back to 101 000.

H

I don't know it's such a small amount um either way.

H

I just don't know what to say. We could lower it back to the same number and it's kind of meaningless.

B

Either ways 103 or something I don't know um you know, I think, um even though he's on the edge of this superfund cleanup and they're monitoring it, um it would be a difficult sell. I think a lot of people would back away from it being that close to a superfund site, but it might be offset by the fact that there's only 106 000, um you know take a chance. I don't know.

C

I'll move that we we reduce, that I'd rather not go anything between our. We has to reduce it to 101 thousand.

L

C

H

B

All right, so it's been moved by the dertha and seconded by palmer to reduce the value of the 1102 26 avenue cell to 100 000.. Was that it or was it 101.

C

B

101, okay, thank you, 101. uh court. Please call the roll.

I

B

Member ambassador.

E

I'm sorry board member ambas absent board member buddhartha.

C

B

Board member palmer chair blind hi, there are three eyes uh motion is adopted. Let's see next we have 3226 ulysses street northeast case number, 22-0663.

B

I have one note on this one, and it says data.

C

um Yeah and there was a sale- and you know 18 months before at 331, 000 we're on 339 or the assessors at 339. I make a motion to sustain the value at 339, 000.

B

H

B

All right, we moved by verdirtha second and by palmer, to re to um sustain the value of 3226 ulysses street not beats fourth base caldwell board member about urtha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair blend aye, there are three eyes the motion is adopted.

B

Next is one five zero and a half 26th avenue southeast case number 22-0664.

B

Don't know that much we can do about this. One, no.

H

C

H

166 apartment units again with the data privacy, we don't have any income expense or rent, so he can just move on to the county or tax court. I move. We hold the value at 21 million, 775 000.

H

B

Removed by commerce seconded by the dirta to sustain the value at 150 and a half 26th avenue southeast first place called the rule.

B

Board member bodertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes caution is adopted.

B

Next is uh 851 river news court number 201 case number 22-665.

B

This was a call-in.

C

So go ahead, stephen! Well, I did look up the value while he was talking on the uh 205, which was one of his uh similar properties. He did mention the two that got lowered.

C

uh You know um maybe through appeals, but uh 205 number two 205 was similar to his and that's currently on at 469, not that we're valuing based on other people's values, but that one has not been lowered is on at a very similar value as as the or the appellant.

B

Was it interesting if you look at 2019, that's apparently when the other two that you mentioned got reduced to 414 um or like left at 414, where his was um and he's in 201 and one of the things one of the ones that he mentioned was 301.

B

So if they're still valued at one point, it's 414. This is overvalued.

B

H

That's pretty soon yeah, I'm wondering if he had the right year for these, but maybe he's looking at a year or two prior uh their market values. On those other two, it seems they'd.

C

Like to come on up, I looked them up there. They are 414 000.

L

H

Okay, um one thing: one thing is this: I would agree. I mean these units are probably all almost identical. It's a condo, so there's not much difference to say there. um I would uh say that what we've seen in the other condos is uh the market's been flat at best, and I don't. This is a good location. You know and prospect park tucked away, but I don't see that we've seen any condos that really have been increasing the last couple years. So um I don't know they want to go all the way to 414.

H

It's that those are a couple years old, but I I think uh some kind of reduction is in order for this.

B

These are, these are really nice, I'm more familiar with the townhouses that are part of it, um but the condos also are very nice and you're right. It's a great location right off franklin um event attracts university people, a lot um yeah, so something what the um uh quality of these places is really attractive.

B

So um I I'd entertain something, certainly uh some reduction absolutely.

H

Going to move that we reduce the value to 435 000.

C

I'll, second, that.

B

Okay, been moved by the counter and seconded by boldurtha to reduce the value at 815 revenue, river muse court number 201 to 435 thousand. Fourth, please call the rule board member aboderta.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Cherubland aye, there are three eyes motion is adopted. Next we have 2715 28th avenue, east 28th street east uh case number, 22-0669.

B

And you don't know that there's much here that owner would like to see 575.

H

Yeah there's a lot of comments about the neighborhood, but I also noticed that it's uh this building was built in 2014. Is that correct.

H

So it's a relatively new building.

B

H

um It's I don't know, they're three bedroom units, that's it! These are big big units, family size, it's a large property 3908.

B

H

B

To find anything in three bedrooms.

H

Yeah and the the the final point would be that it's on it 174 dollars a square foot and I the only time I've seen stuff below 200, it's been in um like uh near south or near north, or it's areas lesser than this I would say so. I I don't think this is too out of line.

L

B

This is over by the eagles club. Isn't it.

H

B

I'm not sure, 25th and 25th. I think that's what the eagles called this or funny something like that. So.

B

Live music, don't you know.

H

Oh well, finally, again it took a while. um What do you think steve should we does it bear lower, or should we just sustain.

C

I didn't have, uh I couldn't see enough information here to and knowing that it's newer and those large units, um but there's not enough good sales information or any to for me to say, go lower on this.

H

Okay I'll motion that we hold the value at 680 000, then.

C

I'll I'll, second, that.

B

Okay motion by palmer seconded by vagra to um sustain the value of 2715 28th street east.

B

There are three eyes motion carries um the final one, for this uh segment is um 2616 34th avenue south.

B

Another one bedroom I've got a lot of those this time.

H

Yeah, it seems kind of a theme um it doesn't sound like there was a heck of a lot done to this. It's like original type of condition. It went up 14, uh we lowered a couple other south side, small one bedrooms um and I'll just note that it's it was it's above 350 square feet. If it was down to 330 square feet, we would be at uh 225 000.

H

Maybe that's too much, but I think it does warrant some kind of reduction.

B

Yeah, I think you're, probably right, um then I I need to mention I I want to mention that um this person's disability is not to be taken into account. The house is worth what it's worth. There are other ways of addressing taxes, so a disability by the owner isn't a reason for us to reduce in any way. But if you'd like to make a motion, I would not be opposed to reducing the value for other reasons,.

H

um If it goes up, I know some of the areas steve mentioned gone up: seven, eight percent in the south side- I don't know if this is one of them. If it went upside eight percent from last year hybrid motion, we uh reduce the value to 230 000.

B

Okay, in a second.

C

B

Okay can move by commerce seconded by boldurka to reduce the value of 2616, 34th avenue south to 230 thousand dollars. Please call the wall board. Member abodertha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Cheer plant hi there are three eyes the motion is adopted and you guys we did it with five minutes to spare. So, let's take a break for five minutes. See you back at one o'clock.

B

All right, chair, bland members of the board, the time is now.

E

2 pm, I will call the roll to verify the presence of a quorum.

B

Board member amba is absent board member bedertha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

And chairplant present there are three members present. uh Let the record reflect. We have a quorum. Thank you all for not waiting until one o'clock to come back, as I mentioned, as we were breaking up, so that would be a lot way too late. So let us um go ahead with the 2-3 segment of the hearings and can you let us know it appears to me. There is at least one person on the phone.

F

Madam chair, there are three: there are three applicants on the line. I have another one um waiting in the lobby that I'll I'll also let in the first one would be for the property address at 5022, stevens avenue case number 22067, please unmute your phone by pressing star, six and state your name and address and you'll have five minutes to present to the board.

M

Hi, um my name is anthony thompson at 5022 stevens.

L

M

Oh hi, um I received the valuation for our property and I I believe it's an error. I had submitted information um which included a couple of comparable properties but, most importantly, there is some inaccurate information on the uh assessors.

M

I guess info page that shows that our house has four bathrooms and an additional 400 square feet of finished space in the basement, and I understand how that happened.

M

We had a plumber submit a permit for a project that we were considering, but ultimately did not do he applied for the permit, anyways and and said that he was going to do a finished basement and a bathroom.

M

We never did that project, but it still shows up as finished space in our basement and uh and an additional bathroom that we do not have in our property. Our our house is a three bed two and a half fast uh whole a little under 2 000 square feet. I had submitted two comps um one on 50th. I think it's 415 west 50th, the other at 206.

M

west rustic lodge, which were kind of close to our house, and they were significantly lower than the assessed value that we were given of 666 000.

M

uh The 150th was, I believe, 530 some thousand, but I do know that it actually closed uh recently for about 5.90.

M

The other property has not closed yet um and we are looking for a reduction in our assessed value to somewhere in line with with those properties, taking into account the square footage that we don't have the bathroom that we don't have and uh and the comps that that we submitted.

B

Thank you uh board members. You have questions for uh mr thompson.

C

uh Yes, this is board member, but um so in the basement there wasn't even any roughing in of anything uh laundry or uh bathroom or anything.

M

No, we didn't do any work at all in the basement at all.

M

We did. um We did a kitchen. Instead, our kitchen was falling apart and it was a kitchen or a basement and we, we chose the the kitchen, which was all permitted and everything, and you can see that we went forward with that project. We just didn't do that.

H

Okay, thank you. Well, this is board member palmer. That was going to be my next question. I saw the permit 28 for the kitchen, so um what what was done in the kitchen new cabinets? uh What are the countertops new flooring? Everything.

D

H

D

Yeah we put in.

M

New new cabinets and uh and a new countertop and noodle.

H

Okay and I'm assuming new lighting then as well.

D

Yes, yeah, okay,.

H

um On these sales, the problem- I have you said they closed, but it we don't know how big they are or when uh when they sold or what the age of them is so um and this 401 west 50th.

M

That they closed within the last, I think within the last month, um 50th closed within the last month, and I, when I had submitted it, it was still an active listing. It was active listing for, I think, 540 but uh ultimately closed. I want to say within the last week for 590 000 and I picked that one, because it's similar square footage three bed, three bath, I think and uh right around two thousand square feet, and it's literally you know two blocks from our house.

M

I

M

So yeah all right.

H

B

um Mrs chairman, what about rustic lodge is that one closed.

M

That looks like it's gonna close, um I saw the listing and it said that it was set to close. It's not closed. Now.

B

We don't know the eventual sale price at this point.

M

B

Okay, thank you any other questions board members.

B

Mr thompson. Thank you very much for your presentation. We will make a decision and we will. uh You will be notified by mail.

N

Thank you so much have a good day.

B

Thank you who will be next.

F

Madam chair, the next uh appellant is 58 through the property at 5812, fremont avenue south case number, 2206 7 8, please um your phone by pressing star six state, your name and address and you'll have five minutes to present your case.

O

Hi go ahead, hello hi! This is amy earburg at 5812 fremont. I just want to confirm that you can hear me we can hear you go ahead. Thank you. um So I submitted a request for appeal.

O

I closed on my house on october 23rd 2020, which, if I'm understanding the documentation correctly on your website, is within the period that was used for market value reference points. I haven't made any significant improvements to the property. As noted in my documentation, I had matt's plumbing, come in and put in a gas line which has not been hooked up to anything uh at all.

O

I'm still using all the old appliances um making repairs to keep some of the plumbing uh in line, there's a fair amount of work that has to be done with the plumbing. It has a number of issues and I haven't done any of it yet um and I haven't changed anything on the exterior of the house except to take down a tree in the backyard that the minneapolis parks board required me to do.

O

It was a an ash tree and I had signs of emerald ash borer infection um and in fact my backyard is a little bit less I've. You know possibly lost use of a small portion of my yard because the the alley is elevated right next to my backyard. So there's a retaining ball. Excuse me in my. You know that above my yard, it's about, I don't know five. Well, you know four and a half feet as high as and a portion of it has come loose.

O

I have a a some of the brickwork on it has come loose. I have a work order in with the minneapolis department of public public works. I haven't seen anything happen on that directly yet, but the reason I may have lost a bit of a little bit of use of my yard is because whenever there are significant rainstorms it it puddles quite a bit and in fact, during our rainstorm last friday I saw water spurting out of the vertical portion of that retaining wall straight into my yard.

O

So I'm I'm gonna have to figure out. You know the integrity of my yard, but I guess that's the um the heart of my request for an appeal, and I uh uh you know humbly request your reconsideration of the tax value um increase. I'm not actually I'm not asking for you to take it all the way back down to my purchase price of 265, but just to not increase it to beyond the 271 that it was at last year.

O

B

Board members, do you have any questions for um mr server.

B

Okay hearing none. Thank you for your presentation. um Mr bergertha. Did you have a question? No.

C

No, I just want to let you know I didn't have any questions. I was going to shake my head.

B

Okay, I didn't see your head. Sorry, oh thank you. So much for your presentation. We will um make a decision and notify you by mail. Thank you so much you're welcome bye. Do we have any more callers.

F

Yes, madam chair, we have two more callers in queue. The next one would be for the property at 3926 emerson, avenue north case number 220679, please press star, six to unmute your phone state, your name and address and you'll have five minutes to present to the board.

P

Hello, hello, hello, okay, hello, this is karen agudo, and this is, I am calling in for the property um 3926 emerson, avenue north, um so I did send in some documentation and um we were first-time home buyers when we bought the home in 2017 and we're just kind of catching up on all this information.

P

um I did receive the market value estimate and it replaced my home um to like 177, I believe when it was originally at 99 500., um and we have not since the time living here. We have not um updated anything to this home. I did send pictures as well showing how we aren't even able to access certain cabinets because of the way like the kitchen is placed um the sink. The bathroom. We only have one bathroom. All of that. It looks like it's plastic.

P

Some of it is still kind of coming off a little bit the outside our backyard, isn't um gulf dirt and we don't live and we live nearby, multiple accidents. I did pull a bunch of crime and a bunch of maps to show where our house is located in the documentations. I've provided- and I just wanted to note that at the point it's uh that it's saying is that if I wanted to sell my home, it is it's expected to be sold for that number, and that is incorrect.

P

So um I don't know if you guys have any more questions for me, but we're pretty much asking for this to be reduced. Based on. There has not been anything done to the home to for the value to be raised.

B

Thank you. What, when did you persist? It.

P

B

Thank you um board members questions.

H

uh This is board member palmer just to comment. I you said it was originally 99 500 and um I'm going back. My records go to 2017, it was 106. 000. um was the prior year, 99 500.

P

uh Possibly this is just I. This is information that I had online, uh so I have each year listed. um Maybe what I found.

L

P

Was incorrect but yeah 2017 was 99 500, then uh next year, 118 500 and then from there it went up to 140, 000 and then so on. It's kind of been to 154 and.

H

P

H

Okay, I do see those and you state you've done nothing to the house since you purchased in 2017.

P

H

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

B

Any other questions.

B

Okay, thank you for your presentation, yeah, no problem. um We will um make a decision and you'll be notified by mail.

F

Madam chair, the final caller, that's in queue for this segment of the meeting is for the property at 1002, 29th avenue northeast case number, 220675.

F

Please press star 6 on to unmute your phone say your name and address and present your case to the board.

N

Hello, my name is ronald. Can you guys hear me? Yes, we.

B

N

Thank you for taking this call so yeah this is. um I am uh originally from india and I bought this house to provide like uh low-income housing for my church and community and, uh as you see since 2018 the uh 17 census, the sorry it was 2 19 and now it's 4 30.. So I just wanted to uh make my case on the basis that the net rents I get.

N

I don't want to burden my low-income renters for the tax increase in taxation, but at the same time I don't want to give them the opportunity to live in the city and enjoy and be close to the college they go to. They are all students at a local college here, so uh they're doing religious, like christian studies, that kind of thing so um so I'm I'm making my uh argument more in the base or my case or for you to evaluate one.

N

On the basis of uh that, I can keep my rent slow so and also have my renters uh live in a nice place uh which they can enjoy minneapolis, but what is actually is is a amazing city, um so I would say something around. 319 would be ideal uh for me to uh do this, I'm just like a mom and pop uh what you call a landlord, uh but they are uh so I'm not like a 100 unit person or something like that.

N

I don't want to be like that, so just to do some good work here and see if the board can consider that it's a one bedroom apartment how it is classified as so. That's that's what I have.

N

Am I making any sense, I'm sorry, I'm not.

N

Can you guys hear me.

B

Yes, okay, uh board members: you have any questions for this uh applicant.

C

uh Yeah, I have one quick question: uh this is a board membertha, uh do you know because there's nothing supplied here. Do you know of any is a four flex. I believe. Is there any other any four plex sales in that that sector of northeast minneapolis.

N

uh Not for one bedroom, I was trying to look for something like that and uh I couldn't find something close to that yeah. But there's another question I have. I don't know. Is this even a place to ask a question, so we all evaluate value what the market value, if you have to sell it, but that I'm not selling yes and I'm. I'm super sorry for asking this question: I'm not selling it. So why should I be like, uh uh even though I it's something to me?

N

It sounds fair yeah what you're going to sell it for, but uh should also consider like you know what the building is sort of used for so yeah. The short answer I don't have. uh I could find like a one bedroom uh comparison.

B

C

B

Okay, thank you any other questions.

H

uh This is board member palmer. Is this ronald denatus we're talking to yes, sir? um I I don't see you on my looking list of property. The last sale I had was in 1995. The buyer was h zagar. So when did you purchase the home or when did you own the home.

N

uh 2020, I think, 18 or 19, something like that. Yeah.

H

What was it a private purchase, or how much did you pay for that.

N

Oh, we only paid two 200 or 250 250. I think yeah.

H

Okay, um the next question is, you say: keep your rents low. What's your average rent on those units.

N

uh I've put it in the information, I think uh uh it's about 892 or something like that. 850.

H

So somewhere around 870 or 850, or something in there all right, okay,.

N

Yeah, let's yeah.

H

Okay- and you say you have college students, have you had any vacancies in in any years.

N

No, actually, I always have some kind of uh uh what you call a a waiting less because the students, you know they all come from small town, america and they couldn't find something close by. So I I always have a good waiting list for people to move in here.

H

Okay, I'll just comment on what you said earlier that so the reason we do market value, so everyone is the same, we're trying to make everyone equal so uh doesn't matter. If you bought the property this year or 20 years ago, we tried to determine what every property is worth each year, so that they're fair, fair between each kind of property.

H

Sure, okay, thank you.

B

Any other questions.

H

B

The board members: okay, thank you so much for your presentation. We will make a decision and you'll be notified by mail.

N

Thank you so much.

B

Any more callers for this segment.

F

Man, I'm sure that concludes of callers that are on the line for this time frame.

B

Okay and I assume you'll, let us know if somebody joins right.

F

Absolutely I will, I know you will.

B

Okay, so let us go back to the beginning here and I think our first case then is hold on a minute. 1313 niklet mall case number 22-0671.

H

Well I'll take this one. This is a a hotel, a multi-million dollar hotel um again because of data privacy or whatever, there's uh no no data with which to evaluate this, and it's beyond the scope of this anyway. So I suggest they go to the border actually to tax court on something like this, I move. We sustain the value at sixteen million. Eight hundred thousand there's a second hand.

B

It's been moved by plumber and seconded by vedirka to sustain the value of 1313 niclette mall at uh the current value. Please uh call the rule clerk board member bedertha.

D

B

Board member palmer, I chair, bland hi. There are three eyes the motion is adopted.

B

Next is 615 washington, avenue southeast case number, 22-0672.

H

And once again, this is a large hotel property university in on the campus same problem. Beyond our scope, no data included, they should move on to a county or the tax court. I move. We uh sustain the value at 23 million, 690 000.

H

B

Removed by palestine, colonel sorry uh seconded by the dertha to sustain the value at 615 washington avenue southeast, please call the wall board membertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes that motion is adopted. The next property is 3937, 13th avenue south case number, 22-80673.

H

uh My notes are this one that had an appraisal included, but it was from july 2020, 2020 yeah, so um didn't seem like a terrible appraisal, um didn't look real close, but if they had the appraisal um and I'm not sure what the purpose of the appraisal was, they didn't have a sale. Maybe it's refinance, but if you make a simple 10 or 12 um increase off that appraisal, you'd be at about 320 000.

H

So that's only maybe we hold it, but if you just go off that appraisal with some, you know similar increases to what uh we've seen in this. What neighborhood is this bancroft area it's near near south? um I would come up to about 320 000.

B

Okay is that a motion.

H

I'll move, we reduce it to 320 000.. Second,.

B

Okay and move by comma seconded by the durka to reduce the value of um thirty nine thirty, seven, thirteen seven itself to three hundred and twenty thousand clerk. Please call the roll board member aye board member palmer aye chair, bland hi. There are three eyes the motion is adopted.

B

The next case is 4337 15th avenue so case. Number 22-0674.

H

um Again, there's no sales that on this one, it's hard to say he mentions um perhaps it's less than average condition.

H

But I'll just go back to to be consistent. What we've been doing? It's another small one-bedroom home and we've been based on we're the only sales here we saw some other sales and other data and other properties lowering a little bit on some of these. um This is on it over 350 dollars, a square foot on this address, which is a decent address, but um it's a little higher than we've seen for other ones. So I again, I would recommend a slight reduction on this one, just to be consistent with the others.

B

Yeah, this is near an area, and I don't know if it's in or at the edges of the area that was kind of wetland. um There used to be about three little houses on the corner of. I think it was 14th or 15th and about 43rd, um and they were constantly having problems.

B

They ended up, buying the cardboard bought them or something to do years ago and made a little park there very small little area, but um this might be on the edge or in that uh sort of marshy area um and there's a one bedroom. I've seen a lot of those uh and it does seem like for the square footage.

B

222 is kind of high.

C

I I moved to reduce this value to 210 000.

B

C

H

B

Okay, you know by the durka and um seconded by palmer, to reduce the value at 4337 15th avenue to 210 000.. Please.

B

There are three eyes motion is adopted: next is 102 29th avenue northeast case number, 22-0675.

B

um I have a note that says: no data is that two?

B

Oh okay, since he's the one. Oh, this is the guy that just called in yeah. Okay,.

H

Yeah, so they are the only thing I can say in his favor is they are only one bedroom units, uh but I it sounded like he didn't, have the concept there plus he was. um We have to value him at market value and it's you know if he wants to rent lower to college students and have no vacancies in a waiting list.

H

That's okay, but I I'm guessing that you can get more than 890 rent for these units if you're out in the open market so um and the value has not changed in three years on this property. So I I don't see any reason to to reduce it.

C

Yeah without any sales or sales information, I have nothing to go on other than holding the value and I'll make that motion to hold the value at 430, 000 I'll.

H

B

Okay, um yeah, I think his 319 000 was probably based on uh what his rents are, which are lower than market, which would make it work for him, but that doesn't mean that makes that property worth that value. So um we've got a motion by palmer: did you make the motions? Did they get that backwards? The.

H

C

B

Thank you. Thank you. Bedertha made. The motion second by thomas is that we got that right now um to sustain the value at 1002, 29th avenue, northeast uh quick. Please call the roll board member podertha aye board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes ocean carries um okay. Now we have an appeal for 4331, sheridan avenue, north.

H

uh This this is another case where the only explanation was. I have an upcoming appraisal. I believe this is grossly and accurate, we'll submit evidence. While I don't have an appraisal, I don't have any idea what exactly with no sales what this should be. So I don't have a feel for changing the value at all.

B

H

Right so I move that we hold the value at 282 thousand, a second.

L

B

Okay, it has been moved by palmer seconded by budoka to sustain the value at 4331 sheridan avenue, north bert. Please call the roll remember about ertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes uh motion is adapted. uh The next one is 50 22 stevens avenue case number 22-0677.

B

This was a call-in.

B

This is the one with the permit mistake.

H

Right so, given that it was the basement, so I don't think there's a lot of value there, but it's it. There is some value reduction, but I looked more at I don't know how good his comps are, but he he really felt that uh the those two were good. It sounded like the first one was similar, but it sold again. I bet there was multiple offers it sold for fifty thousand more than the.

B

Sale price, so it's a good area, yeah.

H

I'll just go back to looking at if if this was in the ballpark of those, but he redid his whole kitchen. So this has got to be like in better shape. um If I say those are 580, I had 40 in the kitchen. I met like 620 000 for his and that's if steve's got any little other ideas go ahead.

H

You're, muted, steve.

C

It was on at 626 000 last year, I noticed um and it is similar to the ones you know I'm going back to that around 2 000 square foot house that we dealt with earlier. uh I know this is over 50th and stephen. It's got to be pretty close to the uh to to the highway. I'm guessing.

B

The face is the highway.

C

B

um Visit the wall.

C

But I I think if there's been some kind of um miscommunication about that basement, I think we should have uh possibly some reduction in the value, um but no no lower than last year at six, which was 626 000.

H

Okay, I that sounds good to me. I move. We reduce the value to 626 000.

C

I'll sec I'll second, that.

B

Okay, to move by palmer and second and by godrica, to reduce the value at um oh, where are we 50, 22 stevens, to 626 000, clear? Please call the law board member, but urtha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chairplant hi there are three eyes motion carries uh next one is 5812 fremont. um Then I think the owner called in on that one.

B

um That was an october uh 20th 2020 um appraisal for 265.

H

Yeah, it looks so there's an open market sale. It looks like at 265. um again you're late 2020. This was a a decent area, a pretty good area. If it goes up another 10 plus a little bit more percent over the year. I would say um it's about 300 000. It would be fair.

C

I I concur to that and um yeah 11 or 12 percent and that area got 10.8. So I do about 12 you're going to be up close to 300.. So I'm going to make a motion to reduce the value to three hundred thousand.

B

C

B

Okay, motion guide, but there's a second by polymer we reduce the value of 5812 three millimeters out to three hundred thousand.

H

B

A comment again.

H

Again, this was a 800 square foot, one bedroom. um I don't know if we're right or wrong on the data, but we're I'm trying to be consistent and kind of slightly lowering them all just so that apples to apples.

B

Right, okay, clerk, would you call it all.

B

Board member bedrtha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes, boston carries. uh Finally, we have 3926 emerson and the case number is 22-0679.

H

uh There's nothing.

B

H

B

Now it's got a second floor, though yeah one one.

H

In a second, it doesn't look like there's much room on the second floor, not much room, but um again they they had a sale in 2017. uh They didn't do anything to the property. They don't have any comparable sales.

H

um It went up 36 percent in five years. Well, if you average that out it's probably five or six percent a year, I don't think that seems unreasonable. um So without any other data, I wouldn't move that we just I emotionally hold the value at 177 thousand.

C

B

Removed by palmer seconded by bodurka to sustain the value of 39, 26 emerson, avenue knowledge clerk. Please call the roll board member bertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair plant hi, there are three eyes motion carries now. Should we go back to, let's see, we've got 25 minutes before the next group starts. We go back to starting at 2511 lindale.

H

I did find that one. Hopefully you don't have any more from that day. I don't know if I'll find them, but I did find that one.

B

All right, I did too that wasn't easy.

B

So do we have a um discussions.

H

So this is a. This is an apartment, uh a five unit, one in the basement in um a good area, 25th and lindell, good rental area, it's uh an older property and we talked to the owner, um I'm actually familiar with the owner and I'm kind of familiar with his properties. He must have owned this property for over 30 years, because I've been in some of his properties, so mr machosek and um they're clean, but literally he there's they're, probably all original he doesn't do update anything. And then that's what he said here.

H

His rents seem on the low side, but again the units are what they are and he doesn't like to have vacancy. So um I I would say if you compare this to another four unit in that area. It's probably you know, lesser condition and appeal, but but clean.

H

I I think it deserves some kind of reduction based on that um and it went up 14 this year. I'm sorry went up 20 and they should go up. The apartments are still strong in that area, but um I have a hard time getting to uh 100 and over 160 000, a unit that we've had a lot of these other ones. On for.

L

C

Can I ask which uh I know what property we're talking about, but I'm looking through my pile? What what uh case number is it.

B

Oh, it is um u2, no, I'm sorry another dash zero five, seven one.

H

Okay or zero, five seven zero. I have.

F

Yeah, madam chair, there's a typo on my material to you. It's case yes board member board member palmer's correct. It's.

B

Case 22-0, 570., okay, all right.

F

11 lindo all right.

H

So I looking at it if it's in the low 150 000 a unit um and it'd still be a 14 increase. Over last year, uh I'm suggesting we lower the value to 755 000.

B

C

I'll, second, that.

B

All right, um I just lost the page when I was on.

B

There it is okay, uh what was the motion for.

H

uh Reduce the value 755 000.

B

Okay, uh to move by palmer seconded by bodertha to reduce the value of 2511 lindale avenue cell uh to 755 thousand dollars. Please call.

B

B

Five: seven.

F

Yes, madam chair of the property address, 5724 nicolette avenue.

C

It appears my filing system has got out of order.

B

It's easy to do: there's not much of a funding system on my table right now,.

C

Unless somebody came and took that one I'll keep looking.

B

Okay, um have you found yours, uh mr palmer,.

H

I have not found mine, so I how many left do we have left on this? I I'm gonna suggest we. You just tell me what the cases are. I can look through them because I, the only ones I have left on that are: oh five, seven, eight and oh five, seven nine! So I'm missing the the ones that go up to that.

Q

Yeah, chair, bland and board members. This is nancy wojack uh case 22-0571, which was 5724. Nicolette avenue has moved to the recommendation list as they came to an agreement with the assessor.

B

Q

B

All right, um okay, so the next one is um 22.0572, are either being there. I managed to find it.

C

F

Madam chair page 424 in your packet.

H

uh I apologize I'm not finding it in my stack here for some reason: I go up to zero five. Seven, eight, zero, five, seven! Nine are those two on that list. Those.

B

H

Okay, so give me the ones between them I'll look for it. Perhaps we we do these two and I look for them in the in the five minute interval or whatever.

B

Okay, what yeah so.

H

I I it's easier for me to look at by case so zero zero. Five seven two is coming up.

B

H

Zero five, seven three.

B

Yep four five, six, seven, eight nine and then we skip to 81 and then 83.

H

H

Were these all tuesday at 12, 30.

B

They are left over from tuesday yeah.

H

Okay, how to go with that? um uh Can we go to the 005, seven, eight and nine, and it's the only ones? I know I have in front of me, so I apologize.

B

Yeah um the one, what we're looking at right now, the the next one um that I that we should be looking at is five seven two, that was the 11 30 to 12 30 segment.

H

B

H

30 12 30. um I'll have to look at that, but um okay, how much time can we wrap these up and then maybe in the next the five-minute interval between three o'clock? I can try to search those out.

B

Sure yeah, um so what do you have that you can comment on and uh I.

H

Have zero five, seven eight and zero five seven nine.

B

H

Those the last two two from that time period.

B

No, there are two after that.

H

Okay, I I don't know where, okay, I don't know where they are, to search them out.

B

Mr berger, can you five seven eight and five seven nine.

C

I can find everything. Thank you. Jeez.

F

Madam chair page 661 in your packet for case 2205, 78 property, 6024, logan avenue, south.

H

Well, this one had the sale is from 2014, so that doesn't help us much. um She had a lot of pictures of her property in there and uh you know unfinished downstairs, etc.

H

A couple of sales. I again, I don't know how comfortable the sales were she put in there, um so there was a 22 000 improvement amount and I'm trying to look at the permit on that uh they finished some bedroom. I looks like this on the second floor. Perhaps um in 2021 uh wiring amperage two supply vents, so there was a little work done and made to the second floor, maybe made it uh livable this year, so um they added twenty two thousand, so um it it doesn't seem with.

H

With that much of an improvement uh as like a stretch to increase that value of that percentage. For this year.

L

C

I I my note was that the comps were all a different style and I don't know um looking through this packet now what that meant, if there's some two stories in there or whatever, but uh I felt that they weren't uh something that I was gonna put a lot of weight on that. Therefore, I thought the value was okay at 342 000.

H

I'll move that we hold the value at 342, 000. I'll second,.

C

B

Okay, it's removed by a plumber seconded by uh bergerka to sustain the value at 6024, logan avenue, south clerk. Please call the roll board member beaudertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chairbland hi, there are three eyes motion is adopted. Okay, do we have in front of us case 22-0579.

B

At 5908, sheridan avenue south.

H

Yes, I do. I do have that ahead of me.

B

Okay, mr bedertha.

C

I'm here yep all.

B

C

um I didn't have note any comps or any good support for this one. um Unless somebody else has a comment, um I was just going to uh move that we hold the value 346 000.

B

H

I would I agree with that. I didn't see anything much there, so I would move that we uh hold the value at 346 thousand.

B

You're too late, mr big earth already did that.

H

I mean I'm seconding.

B

Okay, it's been moved by the dirt, then second and by comma, just to stain the value at 5908, sheridan avenue south. Please call the goal board. Member abodertha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chairplant hi, there are three eyes the motion is adopted: okay, I'm not sure where to go next. What can people get in front of them?.

H

I uh it looks like I found. Oh five, seven two, I found the pile, so I've got those now.

B

All right, so, how about you, mr bedusa, all right, let's go back there. um This is uh 4137 27th avenue south case number, 22-0572 two.

H

uh My comment is: uh the house was built in 2014, so it's a newer house what he has for comps, uh really on comps they're hard to find, but they're all older 50 to 100 years old um they're. Not uh he has 2008 square feet. The comps were half the size. um So that isn't telling me anything. I just um it's a 17 and a half percent raise. I don't know that that area gets that, but at the end of the day it's only 263 dollars a square foot, and that seems quite reasonable.

H

So um maybe that that high of an increase was warranted here.

L

C

Because of lack of information, I moved to sustain the value at 530 000.

L

H

B

All right removed by the girtha and seconded by palmer to sustain the value at 4137, 27th avenue, south clerk. Please call the ball board member aboard urtha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Cheer plant hi there are three eyes motion is adopted the next one. um If we're doing this in order- and we hope to be- is 1901 19th avenue north east case number, 22-0573.

H

I'll note that they had a sale right at that december, 31st of 300 000, but it's listed as pending by the assessor. um So if that's a good open market sale, that's good indication of value, but I I I'm not sure I I can't tell from this data.

L

H

So um otherwise I I if I knew that I I think I'd behoove to go down close to that value um for the value, but I I'm hesitant because it might be a you know: relative, it's not a relative sale, it's a different name person, but was it marketed? Was it a state? I don't know.

B

Is it arm's length right right, okay,.

H

So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, move that we hold the value 345 000 and if they want to come to the county or keep going forward and explain themselves, they can do that right.

C

um I just want to mention that there was an appraisal on this one: um oh yeah, 12 17 2021. about 305 000.

H

Oh, I do see that I do see that note now steve yep um with the comps decent.

D

H

Yeah they were yeah. um Okay. In that case, it sounds like the appraisal is signifying that that was probably an arm's length sale. It's close to the sale, I'm gonna move that we decrease the market value to 305 000. I'll. Second, that.

B

Okay, we have a motion by paulson the second vargadirfa to reduce the value of uh 1901 19th avenue northeast to 305 thousand. What please call the roll remember about ertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

B

Next is um 222nd street, please case number 22-0574.

B

E

Yes rebecca- and this is another case in which our staff have resolved the case with the property owner and so that you can move past this case, because it will be before you on a list of board recommendations.

E

Okay excuse was.

L

H

Was that 0.574 this one was recommended.

B

H

Okay, thank you.

B

Okay, and next is 3949 30th 30th avenue south case number, 22-0575.

C

This one has an appraisal too. It looks like from middle of 2021 for 265 000.. I don't know if that was, I didn't look and see if that was a sale date. No, it must been for refinancing or something, um but just based on that. um Unless, mr palmer, you see some something with the appraisal that didn't look right, I would apply a little percentage to that for being a year and a half old.

H

uh I would agree I'd like some of these comps newer comps better, so um I would have been a little higher on the appraisal and if you go ahead, 10 it looks like my number is uh 300 000. Even I move that we I emotionally reduce the value to three hundred thousand I'll.

C

B

It's been moved by palmer seconded by belgium to reduce the value of 39 49 30 up to would you say, 300 000,.

D

B

Okay, sir, please call the roll board member boat ortho.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair planned, there are three eyes motion carries, um so I have five two um we got through. Most of these we'll have a few left to deal with, but we're doing fine. So why don't we take five minutes? Be back at three o'clock, see you then.

B

All right, chair, planned.

E

Members of the board, the time is now 3 pm and I will call the role to verify the presence of a quorum.

B

Board member amba is absent: board member bodertha, listen board member palmer.

D

O

E

Chair planned it doesn't, there are three members present.

B

Let the record reflect that we have a forum.

B

um Our next case, well, first of all do we have looks like we have at least one person on the line. Is that correct.

E

Claire blandon board members. I do apologize um this. There was a caller, um an appellant who responded that they wanted a hearing and I failed um to mail them big call-in information, and so I'm asking you this is case 22-0-6-5-5.

E

It was your first case at 1pm. You moved and approved to sustain the value, I'm asking if you will reconsider this case and allow the appellant eleanor pajut to present her case. She is on the line and reconsider the case and hear her.

B

L

B

I'm that's fine, but um you're gonna have to give us a minute or two to find.

D

That case in our paperwork.

H

Did you repeat the file number again.

E

E

Located at 2516 garfield street northeast.

H

E

Thank you. I apologize for the confusion.

H

I did find that one amazingly okay.

B

Yep, I've got it too.

F

All right, madam chair, if you're, if the board's amenable to hearing from this applicant, I would ask, I would ask that she press star six on her phone to unmute and state. Your name and address you'll have five minutes to present to the board good afternoon.

R

Good afternoon this is eleanor pewte. Can you hear me first.

R

H

Yes, we can hear you.

R

Thank you uh case number 220655 address 2516 garfield street northeast and I think there was some confusion with the city, so I wasn't given the code to sign in at one o'clock. I was on the call, but not able to speak. So thank you for making time to listen or listen to me now. Welcome.

B

R

Please all right! um This is the first time I've done this. So uh forgive me if I uh I'm a little naive, but um my property tax this year went up by like 14 or 40, not tax. Excuse me value went up by about forty thousand dollars and that was a significant jump. um When I talked to the assessor he recommended I check other comparable houses um in my neighborhood.

R

So I went on your website on your quick links and I looked at audubon neighborhood for this past year and I looked for two bed bedrooms one bath and excuse me with the uh the date range of 1924 to 1931 for building and square footage. My house is 864 square feet, I'm not able to expand into the half story because it does not need code and I'm not able to expand into the basement because it does not need code for height.

R

So I looked at the range of 572 to 1038 square feet and then uh the price range. I found eight properties that met that criteria for the last year and the prices um on them, values on the range from 230 thousand dollars to 315., um 350 000..

R

L

R

um And the average on that would be 261 for a value and the mean price that occurred most often was 255.. So I'm asking um that you can reconsider the value that has been assessed on my property.

B

Okay, thank you um board members. You have any questions for this application.

H

Hi this is board member palmer. um We did look at your your data, uh but right well. What we would like to do is is actually find within that data. The most the houses are most like yours, so we we didn't have a chance to do that. How many?

H

How many um sales were in this data set that you just described, how many sales were in there.

R

A total of eight.

H

And, and if you looked at those could, which one do you think is most, which one or two are the most, like your house.

R

um I I really don't know just based on size, um there's one that is at 864 square footage, um but there's I went all the way up to um 1138 square footage, but I I don't know the houses, I didn't go into the houses or anything like that. Right.

H

Okay- and then you say, uh the other question we'd like to ask is: is what kind of condition you're property has there been any updating to the kitchens or baths or anything.

R

Well, the kitchen's like 25 years old so um and the furnace and water heater are 15. So I know those are coming up to be done. I would say it's in you know fair condition, but you know it does have some cement issue. Work, expense, work and insulation is another one that um I wanted to improve my insulation, but I found out there could be asbestos, so I have just not dealt with that so.

H

Okay, thank you.

B

Any other questions.

B

Okay, thank you. So much for your presentation. We will make a decision and you'll be notified by mail.

R

Thank you. Thank you for listening have a good day. Thank you me too,.

B

Okay um should.

H

We discuss this one while we have it.

B

Maybe we should yeah, since it's from the last segment good idea.

H

I mean the only thing I can remember is we had the data and it wasn't specific to comparables. So.

B

H

B

She used, you know way up to 100 square feet, she's, not finding comparables and she's, obviously not making any adjustments for square footage. Anything, that's just a conglomeration of information without.

H

B

H

I I don't I mean she, she had a very tight range, but it's like. I don't know what that means out of the eight sales which ones are the good sales and which aren't um and to be honest, we held it. Also. She doesn't ask me for much less than that, so we didn't think that you know 274 to whatever's. 268 is a small percentage, so I don't know I she presented that cutter, but I don't see any reason to without any good comps.

C

I I do believe she should have broadened the range. I know there wasn't very many homes or maybe zero homes, hardly until nineteen, thirty, two thirty three and was very few built in 22 or 23. I think, but uh maybe should have gone from. um You know, on 19 to 18 to um you know whatever 1935 or something could have got a few more sales for her, but uh as it is, I still can't see that we have um enough evidence to move anything on this.

B

um Yeah it's difficult when they kind of glum everything together and then um divide by uh and come up with square footage that that is really the thing that that um determines prices. There are so many other factors, so um you know without having more specific data on the things that she is using as comparables.

B

um You know we really don't have anything to go on.

C

Do we have to make a second motion on this or not that's,.

B

A good question.

F

Madam chair, um you you can, um in order to reconsider, you really should take a motion to reconsider. If you decline to do that, then your vote would would stand you've already, you've already taken it um to sustain the value at 274 000. But you could restate into the record if you wanted to what your, what your want to do with this property.

B

Let's, let's do so, let's um show that we listened to her and we um confirmed our decision. So I I entertain a motion.

C

I'll I'll move to uh sustain the value of 274 thousand, I.

H

B

Okay, we have a motion by bedertha in a second by palmer, to sustain the value of 2516 garfield street, um the uh kirkwood clerk. Would you please call the roll board member of wadertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair blind hi, there are three eyes motion is adopted. Okay, now, um let's get on with the three o'clock to four o'clock segment. Do we have anybody on the line.

F

Madam chair, there are no phone-ins scheduled for this time. Slot they're all write-ins.

B

All righty, let's get on it, um I have a feeling we can make quick work of these, but let's see what we can do, the first one is um 3744 smelling avenue case number 22-0680.

B

We have a zestimate.

H

Yeah again, this estimate is lower or whatever it is. It doesn't much matter. um The only point I would make was once again: we've got a house, that's 778 square feet. That's 357 dollars a square foot 37 44 snelling! Isn't that off uh minnie haha in that area.

B

It's between hiawatha and minnehaha.

H

And um so if it was three it's less than 350 dollars a square foot at 340, I would be at 265 000. It's still an increase over last year's value, but it's slightly slightly reduced.

C

I I I'm not so sure because of the lack of information provided um and I'm just hoping when you talk about uh small homes. Being um you know, we don you talk about the 350 square foot or whatever right, hopefully the assessor's camera program and whatever is catching up with all these small sales and, uh being I don't mind, lowering some, but this one really didn't have enough information other than in this estimate.

C

H

That that's true, and and frankly, if you have a 700 square foot home in 900 it the dollars per square foot matter a lot, and maybe they should be higher. It's it's just something I saw in some of the other sales, so I would agree that he hasn't presented anything, but this estimate. So um I would be good with holding the value as well and it is a two bedroom. It's not a one bedroom.

B

Right this property and the next two are pretty much the same deal and um the letter that accompanied that says this. Your evaluation notice 2023 incorrect exclamation mark germany, apple's assessor's office. We do appreciate your excellent job to increase as much as you can revenue for the city of minneapolis, but simply we disagree based on zillow report market. The value of the house is not correct.

B

It's far less 249 seven, you are too high and please review and adjust it's first time you jump over real market. We have zero improvements. We do not understand why you do overestimating. Please adjust and help us keep our tax. Reasonable sounds a little snarky.

B

Yeah, that's all it is, is, you know, reduce the price. You know we appreciate you're trying to get revenue, but we don't like it. Give us less. You know reduce the value.

H

Yeah, it is only the zestimate that doesn't tell us anything so.

B

No, it tells us nothing.

H

It's a two-bedroom I'll I'll emotion that we hold the value at 278, 000. I'll. Second,.

C

B

All right uh there's a motion by uh paul palmer and a second guy volderta to sustain the value at 3744 snelly avenue uh clerk. Please call the wall board. Member podertha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Share bland hi there are three eyes motion, carries.

B

uh Next, one we've just got the same layer, and in this case again we don't even have the zestimate printed out. All they do is write. What this estimate is on the uh tax record, um so they don't even know if there is a lot and they could be making that up too. So um what do you want? What do you want to do.

H

I I had notes of hold on this one. It only went up seven percent. It was only 320 a square foot, even though it's small it's in the ballpark, so I emotionally hold the value at 171 000.. A second.

B

Okay motion by palmer a second by uh the durka to sustain the value at 5857, 42nd avenue so.

B

uh What you call the roll.

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes promotional, carries.

B

um And the next one same deal, this is a 57 30, 36 41st avenue style case number 22-0682.

B

This time the zestimate appears to be 200, but the copy didn't it didn't copy very well, not that it matters.

H

Yeah same deal here, the zillow wasn't enclosed or I couldn't read it. It's only three hundred dollars a square foot. uh It seems to be in the ballpark. I would recommend the emotion that we hold the value at 229 000.

B

Okay, oh sorry, thank you. Mister. uh It has been moved by palmer and seconded by luderfa to sustain the value at 5736 for the 41st avenue south clerk. Would you please follow board member about eartha member palmer.

D

B

Chair planned hi, there are three eyes ocean series.

B

Okay, let's move on to 46 4635 glendale avenue south case number 22-063.

B

See here's what I wrote on this one could be high, but no real data. Anybody else think differently.

H

Yeah he mentioned he had a had appraised by bell bank in 2018 for refinance, which would be old, but it would be something, but I don't see any results of what that refinance appraisal is so um the other point would be uh it's it's not on it, overly ridiculous. It went up 12, that's not out of the realm of possibility, so I I don't see any reason to change the event.

L

H

I'll motion that we hold the value at 378 thousand.

C

I'll, second, that.

B

Okay, it's the note by timer seconded by godirka, to sustain the value at 4635, lindale avenue south. Please call the roll board member buddhista.

Now we have one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or more uh properties um from delta property advisor and they're all going to be pretty much the same. What the story is they're protesting their value, so there.

H

So uh steve and I had looked at this they're all- I believe all of these are holiday station stores, so they're going to be gas station, convenience stores um and they're filed by a tax rep, and so it's beyond the scope of this there's no data data privacy, whatever um he needs to go to county or more appropriately, to tax court with these properties.

H

So um I'll just start with the first one. Would you agree with that assessment on all these.

B

Yeah definitely.

I thought we'd clean those up, which ones would you reference.

B

I don't think we quite finished. I think we still have to do. um 2-0-5-7-6-2-2-0-5-7-7.

B

And then skip down to zero five, eight one and zero five, eight three, so it looks like we have four that we have to deal with because we took a bite out of the middle and worked our way down from the top. We left. We've got four left here. Madam.

F

Chair that compares with my records, okay,.

B

um So the first one, if anyone can find it is 2307 all big avenue, north and that's case, number two: two: zero five, seven six.

B

And this was the I think we were in the 11 30 to 12 30 uh yesterday, I'm not sure, but I think that's where we were yes.

F

Madam chair, that's correct. Okay,.

B

Do you have a page number.

F

Yes, page 646.

H

I I do have three of those. I don't know where the last one is, but I do have the first three.

H

On this one um she did appear, but she didn't have a lot of market information um to go with it. um No extra comps.

B

Wait a minute: are we starting off 2307 aldridge? Oh.

H

Yes, I'm sorry.

B

Okay, in that case, number is 22-0576.

B

Okay, go ahead.

H

Yeah, so it was um not much supporting data at all. As far as comparables purchased in 2019 for 225 000., um there was 4 100 in improvements, um some basement and re-roofing garage.

H

uh So it's only 11 increase over that. um I don't see much room for uh any reduction in this one.

B

H

Would you agree, mr bergertha is that okay, okay, yeah? Okay? I will move that we hold the value at 256 000.

C

B

All right uh moved by paul, palmer and second divided boderta to sustain the value at 2307, aldrich avenue north. Please call the roll board member beaudortha.

D

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair plant hi, there are three eyes uh motion is adopted, but then we can skip because we've already done logan and sheridan. So the next one would be 5202 elliott case 22-0581.

F

Madam chair, I have next would be case 22-0577 at 4230, pleasant avenue.

B

I'm sorry! Yes, I skipped over that. Okay, uh 42, 30, pleasant, avenue, south case number, 22-0577 and drop my pen I'll be right back.

B

Okay, I'm right back. uh I believe this uh appellate uh called in yesterday, please hall.

D

H

C

H

I think so, um but again there was, they did a market study of properties, they thought were similar and then um I didn't see any conclusion there. They said they were from 250 to 385 000, so that isn't telling me much um uh east of grand prize scope, west of nicolette and east of grand, if possible. That makes sense, but it still doesn't tell me which what is what there so um it was a 15 increase. I will note that I did.

C

I did like the comp. um Her first was at her nose. His first comp uh 3707 blaisdell, was about the same size within a few feet, and so for 355. I don't know more about it. It's got a two-car garage is what the remark is here and that sold in um mark or april of 2021 for 355 000.. uh So that was one of those that I was given some credit to, and that was of course, eight months before the assessment date, which you know a little.

C

Inflation on that and you're you're getting up again close to the 3.75. So.

H

Yeah those her listed comps weren't, weren't terrible. I guess um they don't have the age, but it they looked at one of them and it was close to her age. So, given it was a 15 increase, I've got a note here: um they'll recommend a slight reduction. They have numbers scribbled in 360 355, something like that.

C

I did scribble in 355 myself.

H

Well, that's good! I will now motion that we reduce the market value to 355 000. I'll. Second, that.

B

Okay, it's been moved by palmer seconded by bendertha to reduce the value for 4230, pleasant avenue to 355 000. or please call the roll board member about ertha hi board member palmer.

B

There are three eyes motion carries so then we skip down to 5202 elliott avenue case number 22.0581.

B

Anybody have that in their crosshairs.

D

B

C

Did this person speak to us? I can't remember.

C

I have some notes here like there's mold in the basement and some water in the basement, but um samuel carlson, I'm not. I probably talked to him.

H

I think he did talk to us. I think he said he was like a first-time buyer or something like.

B

That yeah, we could hear from him.

H

So my notes were the daddy has are- is way too broad um bureau of labor statistics for the us that's kind of meaningless. What area does that apply to.

B

Yeah, I remember thinking that yeah, that's the whole country doesn't help.

H

He's done some renovation to the floors, but not much um so. Please explain how my home's values increased. When did he buy that 2016? So it's been a while since he bought that and it was listed as a non-valid sale when he purchased it from northwestern foundation. So I don't know how much you know how much weight you want to put on that sale at seven years old. um I just had a note here: it's a nice 1931 built home.

H

It's a double lot, so he's got 8 600 square feet. um He said he did he's rent one side out at 1400. That's a note I have, but I I think he lives in half of it.

B

H

B

We were surprised.

H

B

Learn that it was a duplex, we're kind of midway in the conversation when it came, comes out that it's a duplex.

H

Right so I my only note is given those rents and a 17 increase, um I thought it might have been a little strong. I have a number 525 written down here.

L

H

Which is which is still a substantial increase over last year's value.

B

um Did he provide enough information either written or verbal to make a determination, given that he gave us numbers that were nationwide.

H

Yeah, that's all he did provide and half the rents. So you know I don't know how much nicer his unit's, probably nicer than the rental one. But who knows we don't really know that.

C

Yeah, I would really like to see some uh some sales of uh double or uh duplexes uh before I before. I would act on it.

H

And this is a good it's it's! A nice address. Isn't this down near the creek.

B

Yeah yeah, it is, I think, it's some, let's see an la 52nd la it would be south of the creek, but it's close yeah within a block or two.

C

Well, for the for the lack of real substantial information, I I believe I'd like to move that we hold the value at 546 000. I'll. Second,.

B

Okay removed by bedurka and seconded by palmer to sustain the value at 5202, elliott, avenue uh clerk. Please call the roll board member but arthur hi board member palmer.

D

B

Chair plant hi, there are three eyes: emotional parries and then our last one in this group from yesterday is 3305 44th avenue south base number 220583.

B

um I remember this one because I just sold the property two weeks ago at 33, 23 44., um it went for 360 thousand dollars. It had two bedrooms on the main floor. One up um fireplace they had done a lot of work on it. They worked on the bathroom.

B

They did a real finish downstairs with another really nice bathroom everything finished a room plumbed for a kitchen. The idea was that his adult, uh slightly disabled son might live with him, but that's not going to work out and the guy's getting married anyway, so we sold it. I put it on for 330 thinking that that was on the high side. It sold for 360.

B

more house than this one, but that gives you some clue. uh Pretty popular neighborhood just sold the one down the street uh 37.09 sold that over the weekend. uh That was just a two bedroom and we put it on for 299 and it sold for more than that. So.

C

I'll have to say that's more information than actually we're being given by the appellant.

B

So glad to help.

C

Unless don has any comments, I'm going to make a motion to sustain the value at 294.

C

H

I second the motion.

B

Okay, um it's been moved by the dertha and seconded by paulson to sustain the value of 3305 44th avenue cell clerk. Please call the role.

B

Board member bertha.

C

B

Board member palmer.

D

B

Chair bland hi, there are three eyes: uh emotion is adopted.

B

Okay, what else do we need to accomplish? I know rebecca has to do her astonishing reading. But what else do we have to do.

H

I think that's it. I hope you don't have any more cases, because I won't be able to find them. If you do.

F

Madam chair, I would I would defer to director momquist if she's able to join the call. But um wonderful. That concludes our agenda. For the day.

B

E

Abandoned board members correct it's not on the agenda for today, as we are adding this session for friday. I just would like to give you a little preview for friday. If I could, we have about nine appellants from the condo complex that we've been talking about. That would like to have a hearing, and so I've sent them a request and to ask them to get back to us by 4 30 tomorrow, so that I could provide the calling information.

E

So you'll right now at max have nine calls which is doable within the within an hour and then you'll have to read there. There will be some lists that I will have to read so that will take a small amount of time, but there are also some a few lists of um action that the board will have to take that don't have to be read individually. That can be a single motion for the entire list, so top of the nine earrings you'll have some lists to um finalize, and then you will be done and so.

H

This is, I have a question so there's no further new cases, uh individual cases.

E

Only the nine cases from the condo and townhome complex.

H

Okay and then I think, did we have two one or two. I think we had two townhome people that we uh deferred after so we wanted to listen to what these people said and then maybe decide on them.

E

Right so our plan, there were three of them and our plan then, is to bring you forward. A board recommend a recommendation from the assessor to the board to reduce the condominium building buildings by 10 percent and then, after our conversation today, it sounds like we will be bringing forward a list of assessor recommendations to the board. I believe there are 34 townhome units, a reduction of 8 percent.

H

Okay, thank you.

F

You are correct, madam chair. Three cases were continued um from today to friday.

B

Okay, so we have nine on the docket for um friday. Does that mean all nine appellants are going to tell their story over and over again, are we gonna glam them all together or don't? We know.

E

According to board policy, they used to get their five minutes worth of time. Okay,.

L

B

C

What time do we start on friday.

E

Jackie we're currently scheduled to start at 8 30.. Has that been noticed, however,.

L

F

Yes, we have, we have. We are scheduled to start at 8 30. However, um we, whenever the board adjourns today, since it's an adjourned meeting, we can adjust that time. Okay, if you want to meet later.

B

Is there any reason you want to go later on friday than 8 30.

H

My question is: um is it two hours worth of work then we would have you estimate.

E

I don't believe so. I believe 8 30 until 9 30 will be the appellant presentations at five minutes each and so that's eight times. You know 40 45 minutes and then I will probably require another 25 minutes of your time after that. So the thing is: I've already notified the appellants of the schedule, beginning at 8 30.. Otherwise we probably could change it, but I don't want to cause confusion.

H

No, that that's fine, I'm just wondering probably 8 30 to 10, it sounds like might be. Okay, that sounds good.

C

When can we expect our? Are we going to get a packet? I know there isn't much going on, but we're going to get a packet for friday.

E

I will have to defer to director wojcick, because I don't know if the packet went to the printer today. If anything it should be to you by tomorrow.

Q

Here, blandon board members, uh the packets have to be printed by one o'clock and we still had some determinations being made. So we will be printing early in the morning and they will deliver be couriered out tomorrow morning.

B

Okay, and did you get uh rebecca, did you get my note about delivery.

E

Is it in an email to me? I.

B

Sent you an email after um another session a couple sessions earlier, so um it's in your email.

E

I do have it and I will make sure that nancy gets this for the career.

B

Thank you, okay um with that, I believe we've completed all items on the agenda for the afternoon without objection, I'll declare this meeting recessed until friday april 29th.

Q

H

Thank you, chair, bland.

B

Yeah we're recessed until 8 30.. Thank you everyone! Thank you, 8 30 friday. Thank you.

L
