RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Davy explained that Mr. Kunik and he had reviewed a number of cases since the last meeting
of the Board of Review in effort to remedy concerns from City residents regarding their proposed
property valuations.
Mr. Davy further explained that Mr. Kunik and he had met with members of the Minnetonka
Yacht Club this past week. He noted he still had questions with regard to the bylaws of the
Yacht Club as to what would happen to the land in the future. Also, Administrator Dawson
explained the Yacht Club still needed to get the proper property tax classification for taxation
purposes. He noted discussion would continue, but the matter could still move forward as non-
taxable properties would be assessed every six years, and the property value would not be
affected regardless of classification.

Mr. Davy stated he had also reviewed property belonging to Ms. Kitty Onan, 5525
Wedgewood, PID 33-117-23-22-0029. He noted a comparable grid had been prepared for this
meeting. In addition, he explained he had taken changes to the property into account when the
property had been reduced in value to $276,000. Mr. Davy then reviewed the comparable grid
for Ms. Onan's property for the Board. He stated he believed the valuation to be appropriate and
recommended no further change.
With regard to Minnetonka Moorings, Inc., Mr. Davy explained that Mr. Chris Bennett of the
Appraiser's office had tried several times to contact the owners of the property to discuss the
matter and arrange for a site review, to no avail. He reminded the Board the owner could
proceed to the Hennepin County Board of Equalization if necessary.
Mr. Davy explained all other cases heard in the April 15, 2002, Board of Review Meeting had
been remedied.
Garfunkel moved, Lizee seconded, to Accept the Recommendations of the City Assessors as
presented. Motion passed 4/0.
Chair Love thanked the Assessors for a job well done.
