Paul & Linda Kilker, 27505 Brynmawr Place, PID 31-117-23-14-0033. Mr. Carroll presented comparables to support the Assessor's valuation of the property. Mr. Kilker refuted the comparables as higher quality homes and referred to the comparables he had presented at the last meeting.

Sondra Schaefer, 23115 Summit Avenue, PID 34-117-23-43-0015. Mr. Carroll presented • comparables supporting the land value arrived at by the Assessor. • BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING MINUTES MAY 3,1999 - PAGE 2 Councilmember Garfunkel questioned the comparables, as the lot sizes presented are varied. Also, the review states that the subject property has a "better view" which is very subjective. Mr. Carroll stated that the comparables are for indicating land values and can be broken down by square foot. In regard to the view, the site is elevated which commonly provides better view. Councilmember Stover questioned why the building and land are separated, as houses and land are a package deal. Mr. Carroll pointed out that the request from the last meeting was restricted to land value, which is why the review was focused on that. Mayor Love stated this case is unique and very difficult to decide on, as the land value has appreciated at such a rapid pace and the building not nearly as rapidly. Garfunkel moved, Stover seconded approving an adjustment in the value of PID 34-117-23- 43-0015 to $202,000 for Sondra Schaefer, 23115 Summit Avenue. Motion passed 510. • Jim Stringini, 27780 Brynmawr Place, PID 31-117-23-13-0034. Mr. Carroll presented comparables supporting the valuation determined by the Assessor. Other properties used were considered inferior in quality, however. Mr. Stringini presented comparables of homes on the lake with similar square footage, which are valued less than his home which is located off the lake. Councilmember Zerby pointed out that there are five homes from this neighborhood being contested and wondered if this was coincidence or should be looked into more in depth. Mr. Stringini answered that his neighborhood has been over valued for taxes this year in particular. Garfunkel moved, Lizee seconded approving the value recommendation of the City Assessor for PID 31-117-23-13-0034 for Jim Stringini, 27780 Brynmawr Place. Motion passed 510. Dan Fields, 1010 Holly Lane, PID 35-117-23-44-0008. Mr. Carroll presented comparables from next door to the subject property in support of the valuation made by the Assessor. Mr. Fields rebutted Mr. Carroll's comparables and cited the comparables he had presented at the • last meeting where Lakeshore footage is valued lower than his. He also pointed out that his property is not subdividable, as the Assessor's comparables are. • BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING MINUTES MAY 3,1999 - PAGE 3 Councilmember Zerby questioned why 1050 Holly Lane was valued less per square foot than other homes of the same type. Mr. Carroll explained that he uses sales values to compare, as opposed to market values as Mr. Fields is using. Lizee moved, Stover seconded approving the value recommendation of the City Assessor for PID 35-117-23-44-0008 for Dan Fields, 1010 Holly Lane. Motion passed 4/1. Zerby opposed. Steve Paulson, 27585 Woodside Road, PID 31-117-23-14-0038. Mr. Carroll presented comparables to support the valuation determined by the Assessor. Mr. Paulson addressed the Council, pointing out that in this neighborhood the values have been near what was paid for homes approximately five years ago. His home, however, has been valued approximately $36,000 over what he paid four years ago. Mr. Carroll explained his figures, how he used nearby comparables, and the land and building • values, to arrive at his valuation. Zerby moved, Stover seconded approving the value recommendation of the City Assessor for PID 31-117-23-14-0038 for Steve Paulson, 27585 Woodside Road. Motion passed 510. Kenneth Dawson, 5880 Boulder Bridge Lane, PID 31-117-23-42-0027. Mr. Carroll had not had a chance to review this property, and will do so at a later date. Mr. Dawson briefly explained that he had paid $450,000 in 1996, and the taxable value for 1999 was determined to be $499,000, with no changes or additions made to the house. No motion was made as no review was available. Mr. Dawson indicated he understands his options to go to the County Board and to have the City Assessor review the valuation. Garfunkel moved, Stover seconded accepting the Assessor's recommendations on the other properties listed as follows: Jeff Fox 5270 Howards Point Road Mark Flannery • 27865 Brynmawr Place PID 30-117-23-44-0009 PID 31-117-23-13-0031 BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING MINUTES MAY 3,1999 - PAGE 4 David Kraker 5640 Covington Road PID 36-117-23-24-0006 Bev Decker 5815 Brentridge Drive PID: 31-117-23-41-0028 Jim Suddendorf 27665 Brynmawr Place PID: 31-117-23-13-0026 Constance White 27545 Brynmawr Place PID: 31-117-23-14-0034 Scott Schipper 27540 Brynmawr Place PID: 31-117-23-14-0037 S.
