1 The property owners requesting further evaluations of their properties • 2 or who indicated their intent to pursue abatements of previous years' 3 evaluations through the Board of Equalization, June 19th, were: 4 Glen Ford, 3608 Silver Lake Road, who reported he had lost 640 square 5 feet on the front of his property to the Silver Lake Road/37th 6 Avenue N.E. reconstruction project, for which the County had paid 7 him $5,000.00, but had raised the valuation in spite of the fact 8 that there was less property to evaluate. 9 Deloris J. Miskowiec, 2417 St. Anthony Boulevard N.E. , who questioned 10 how the assessor, who had evaluated her property without even it coming into her home, could have raised its classification from 12 5 to 4 at this late date, after 30 years of ownership with no 13 more changes than a recent installation of a cement driveway and 14 numerous evaluations by County appraisers, who had not changed 15 the property classification. The property owner said her 16 valuation had increased $17,500.00 after a visit by the appraiser 17 this year, which, she commented, led her to question the 18 training of the evaluators.
