May 17, 1983 Board of Review 39 Mr. Tom Olson had a question on his value. Mrs. Roisum pointed out the figures for the land and for the building. Mr. Olson said he only had a chimney - no fireplace. Mrs. Roisum said this would take $1000.00 market value from the home. Mr. Olson asked how the assessed value was computed and Mrs. Roisum gave him the formula. Mrs. Barb Niemczyk had a question on why her mortgage company had in- creased the payments by $60.00 per month. Mrs. Roisum said she would send her figures to the bank for clarification. Mr. Harold Lehman, 509 Birch street, had some questions on Green Acres. Mrs. Roisume pointed out that one figure is for market value without Green Acres and the other is the market value for the land under Green Acres. Mr. Pete Nadeau from 20th Avenue, stated that he was here to take up where he left off last year. Mr. Nadeau had three parcels taht he felt was over valued. He said he had gone through the County and the State last year without any results. Mrs. Roisum said all the property in the area is valued the same per acre, the difference could be in the make up of the land - whether it is low, high, wooded, tillable, etc. Mrs. Roisum pointed out that the value on this land is the same as last year and the figures on Mr. Nadeau's land value was established by the County and once this is done, it is out of her hands. Mr. Marier pointed out that Mr. Madeau is talking about last year's value and this Board of Review is to discuss 1983 values. The value of the land is based on the makeup of the land. Mr. Marier asked Mrs. Roisum if she would mind goint out and reviewing that land and Mrs. Roisum said, No, she would be glad to. However, she pointed out this had been reviewed by herself and the County last year. Mr. Marier said he would meet with Mr. Madeau and review this property. Mr. Nadeau said he had four parcels that he did not get yards for. Mrs. Elsenpeter said cards had arrived at the post office with no address. She had forwarded them to him. Mr. Madeau complained about a back 40 with no possibility of develop- ment - the value is $20,000.00. Mr. Marier asked if the value had changed? Mr. Nadeau said, No, but the taxes are different. This value had been put on this land by the County. Mr. Marier pointed out that he had gone to the State on this last year and the value had remained the same. Mrs. Roisum noted that the County Assessor had walked the land last year and had placed this value on the land. Mr. Reinert pointed out the Council is here to certify the actions of the Assessor - not to question her values.
