20
21 Anoka County Appraiser (residential) Schutz explained the county increase in residential assessments
22 and the correlating increase in Lino Lakes, as outlined in the board report. Increases are driven by
23 high demand and the actual number of homes available. They have seen bigger increases in sales
24 figures (207 qualified sales), showing an increase in demand. There have been major increases in
25 new construction, with 83 last year. County staff has taken a few phone calls from property owners
26 with questions. He believes they were able to answer all questions satisfactorily.
27
28 Mr. Schutz noted that he has inspected a few other properties where there have been calls and is
29 asking the board to act on reductions as follows. It was noted that the County Assessor is requesting
3o that, in cases where there is a revision in the valuation but the official notice has not yet been
31 delivered, the Board should confirm those changes.
32
33 PID# 25-31-2243-0090 —valuation reduction from $393,700 to $384,400
34 PID# 02-31-22-31-0002 —valuation reduced to $257,300
35 PID# 25-31-22-43-0030 — valuation reduced to $398,500
36 PID# 02-31-2242-0001 —valuation reduced to $44,900,
37
38 Molly Johnson, Anoka County Appraiser (commercial), reviewed the increase in
39 commercial/industrial valuations noting that there has been more stabilization in that market. She
40 noted valuation increases of about three percent overall and 6.9% including new construction.
41 Ms. Johnson noted the following properties:
42
43 - 7960 Lake Drive, PID# 09-31-22-22-0024, inspected and will lower the value from $554,600
44 to $518,900 but the owner would like to keep his options open by being referred to the Anoka
45 County Board of Appeal.

46 - 7920 Lake Drive, two parcels, PID# 17-31-22-21-0034 and 17-31-22-21-0033, vacant lot near
47 city hall that is for sale and has divided owners. They want to appeal the pay 2018 and would
48 like to keep options open while staff works on the details and be referred to the County Board.

50 Ms. Johnson indicated that one property owner was present wishing to address the Board regarding
51 his lot on Lake Drive, a 2.97 acre piece at 7920 Lake Drive (PID# 09-3 1 -22-22-003 0), zoned general
52 business that has recently been on the market. The property owners are interested in getting it
53 rezoned. She is recommending a reduction in valuation to $146,300.
54
55 John Magill, property owner, stated that he wanted to come this evening to see if he could get the
56 "temperature" of the city council on the possibility of a rezoning. Mayor Reinert explained that the
57 council isn't acting in that type of capacity at this point and a rezoning process wouldn't begin with
58 council consideration, but he would direct staff to pursue further information on the matter and he
59 invites Mr. Magill to come to the June work session for further discussion.
60
61 Motion by Maher to accept the board report and to approve the changes as recommended by the
62 Anoka County Assessor and the referrals to the Anoka County Board of Equalization as indicated.
