The Clerk be authorized to publish notice <br />of said Hearing in the legal newspaper to be published <br />on October 21, 196t~, and <br />3. Fake such mailed notice as required by statute. <br />Motion for the adoption of the above resolution was <br />unanimously carried. <br />Assessments of certain properties in the area known as <br />Falcon Woods was discussed. Approximately thirty residents <br />of the area were present. Representing them was Attorney <br />John Daubney who stated that there is as much as X200 <br />variance in assessments. The method or formula that was <br />used was discussed. l~r. Helmut Volk of 1862 No. Howell <br />presented to the Council various methods of assessing the <br />irregularly shaped. lots. The citizens were not protesting <br />the assessment, but they were protesting because of tl~e <br />inequality. They felt the 1.2 factor(used in determining <br />each assessment) was the greatest single factor that <br />created the inequality. It was stated that if the <br />assessment were equal on all lots, no one would complain, <br />however, as it stands, the difference or sproad is too <br />great. <br />Tom 2~cGough -1938 Summer: There is a difference in <br />the way Falcon Woods #1 and Falcon Woods #2 were <br />assessed. Why? It is all the same water. <br />Mike Galvin: Areas that could not be resolved on a <br />straight front foot were discussed and. various formulas <br />were worked out. After considerable thought, it was <br />decided to use the same formula used in 1957 for the <br />sayer assessments. We simply accepted a tried and true <br />formula and we did spend considerable time looking for <br />that formula. <br />Attorney Daubneys Tf the same formula was used in #1, <br />why not ixi ~2? <br />Engineer Lemberg: There may have been some ad3ustments <br />after the assessments - I do not know. There may have been <br />some changes. <br />Nilsen: There were no changes in assessment. <br />Daubney: May I suggest that a committee be appointed? <br />It was stated by a citizen that where odd shape lots were <br />concerned, the formula resulted in foot factor - one con- <br />stant factor was the X6.65 per foot. The formula merely , <br />arrived at the number of feet per lot. If the lots that <br />were over 100 feet could be assessed on the 100 feet, it <br />would result in more equality. <br />Galvin: There are four people on Autumn Street whose <br />assessments were under 100 feet and they are not here <br />this evening. There are provisions for omitted errors, but <br />the requirements are many, Any adjustments would have to <br />f1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
