1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />- 1, 01 <br />COUNCIL BOARD OF REVIEW <br />APRIL 15, 1991 <br />evaluation was made in July of 1989 and the house was vacant <br />at the time. He will schedule an appointment with Mr. Kruger <br />to come out for another appraisal which could result in a re- <br />adjustment of the taxes. <br />Gerald Clausen, 6109 Baldwin Lake Road. Mr. Clausen wanted to <br />know how much land he's paying taxes for. The State took .78 <br />of an acre of his property several years ago for an easement <br />off Hwy. 49 and Snelling Avenue, but this year his tax <br />statement shows the land valued is 2.9 acres, so it appears <br />that the State his given his property back to him. Mr. <br />Nienaber says he's not sure, but advised Mr. Clausen to <br />contact the County Auditor. Mr. Nienaber will also have a new <br />appraiser contact Mr. Clausen. <br />Curt Christianson, 355 Ash St. Mr. Christianson was <br />questioning why his taxes went from $460.00 to $2005.00. <br />Mayor Bisel reminded everyone again that the Assessor was <br />only here to answer questions on valuation. Mr. Nienaber <br />suggested that perhaps Mr. Christianson's tax statement shows <br />the property classification as non - homestead which would keep <br />the taxes higher. Evidently Mr. Christianson's mother owned <br />the property until 1990 when she sold it to him. She was not <br />living in the house when the property was evaluated therefore <br />taxes were recorded for non - homestead property. Mr. Nienaber <br />referred Mr. Christianson to Joann Eason in the County <br />Assessors office for an adjustment. <br />Joyce Scharpin, 801 Main Street. Mrs. Scharpin says the <br />market value of her property went up by $60,000.00 and that <br />she has already been in contact with Mr. Nienaber about this. <br />Mr. Nienaber explained that the increase was because the <br />Scharpin property now lies within the MUSA boundaries making <br />it more valuable. Mrs. Scharpin asked why she has to pay <br />before water and sewer come through, and also can she sell <br />the property and develop it? She also wanted to know if the <br />value of the property will change if nothing is developed <br />here in 8 or 10 years. Mr. Nienaber noted that he had <br />already sent a "Review Request Form" to Mrs. Scharpin. She <br />will complete it and return it to the County. <br />Mayor Bisel commented that there should perhaps be gradual <br />increases where MUSA boundaries are concerned. Mr. Reinert <br />questioned how the County keeps track of any changes in the <br />MUSA boundaries. Mr. Nienaber explained that the County does <br />keep track of the changes, and he has discussed this <br />situation with the head assessor. <br />Jon Ekeroth, 1624 East 81st-St. Mr. Ekeroth explained that <br />he has been getting two tax statements, but he only has one <br />buildable lot. Mr. Nienaber noted that Lino Lakes City Clerk, <br />Marilyn Anderson, had previously contacted him about this <br />situation when Mr. Ekeroth talked to her about it. It seems <br />that several years ago there was a division of a lot that was <br />
