1 1 1 COUNCIL BOARD OF REVIEW Nienaber to come out he would call him. APRIL 19, 1989 `) 7 5 Dan Lambie, 5210 Otter Lake Road, PIN 36- 31 -22 -13 -0008 - Mr. Lambie explained he felt his appraisal was way out of line. He asked how many people had been assessed $18,500 for a lot. Mr. Nienaber explained his appraisal was based on sales in the area. Mr. Lambie said his lot was 20% pond and he wanted Mr. Nienaber to come out and look at the property when Mr. Lambie was available to go with him. He questioned the legality of the process Mr. Nienaber was using. He noted that just because one person is willing to pay $25,000 for a lot does not make that lot worth $25,000. Mr. Lambie also asked for a list of people who own acreage so that he could see what their appraisal is. Mr. Bisel told Mr. Lambie that he could go to the Court House and Mr. Nienaber would show him what he has requested. Marvin Kiffineyer. 384 Pine Street, PIN 06- 31 -22 -11 -0003 - Mr. Kiffmeyer said he thought a mistake had been made on his property but now understands what is happening throughout the City. His valuation has risen $18,000 and he said he could not believe4that his taxes would not go up too. Acting Mayor Reinert said that the Council had asked that all land values be raised quickly so that no portion of the City would have a special break. Mr. Kiffmeyer asked if Mr. Nienaber had developed a schedule for one acre, two acre, three acre, four acre and five acre homesites. Mr. Nienaber said he had not developed such a schedule. Mr. Nienaber said he could come and look at Mr. Kiffmeyer's property. Mr. Kiffmeyer will call Mr. Nienaber. David Conde, 8327 West Rondeau Lake Road, PIN 03- 31- 22 -21- 0002 - Mr. Conde said he was concerned that taxes would go up 25% as did his valuation. He did not feel the appraisal on his property was fair and referenced an appraisal completed by Knutson Mortgage Company. Mr. Nienaber explained that the land values in Lino Lakes were not increased according to sales in the City. He said he could look at Mr. Conde's property again is he so wanted. Mr. Conde asked what was his recourse if Mr. Nienaber stood by his original appraisal? He was told he could go to the County Board of Review and if he still was not satisfied he could go to the tax court. Mr. Conde asked if someone other than Mr. Nienaber could come and appraise his property. Mr. Varner said he could. Mr. Varner said he would follow up with Mr. Conde. Bruce Goble, 6569 - 24th Avenue, PIN 25- 31 -22 -41 -0008 - Mr. Goble explained that his valuation rose $24,000 and he said he has never seen the Assessor at his home. Mr. Nienaber said that he has not been in the house but the land was realistically valued. He explained that he normally leaves a tag on the door when he visits and no one is home. The homeowner then calls his office and makes an appointment for him to come. -- Mr. Nienaber explained how he appraised the
