Spielmann property at 2813 Silver Lake Road back to the purchase price paid for the property April 30 , 1983. Motion carried unanimously . Margaret Suhr,_ 3224 Chelmsford Road, indicated she was present to get a better understanding of how valuations are set and to determine _ whether the raise she has received is out of line . The Mayor told her a majority of the homes in St. Anthony received a- 10 . 9% raise in 1982 which was based largely on the real estate sales made in the City the previous year. Several examples of such. sales , which would appear to justify a raise in , valuation, were cited from the booklet which had been provided the Council members for reference . Mrs . . Suhr ' s attention was drawn to Mr. Childs ' memorandum showing the valuation and taxes for a $79, 000 home in St. Anthony, which illustrated just what portion of the taxes were attributable to the City , School District, County, and Metro District. No further action was requested by the property owner. Roy Perzel, 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. , -equested a reappraisal of his property saying his taxes had increas :d almost 100 percent and the only improvements he had made was a porch, which had no footings . Mr. Becken agreed that . it did not appear that such a porch could be considered to add to the square footage of the home . Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to request that the property at 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. be reappraised by Hennepin County . Motion carried unanimously.

The Mayor said he could sympathize with him since he had experienced a similar increase in taxes himself . When he asked whether Mr. Tabaika was requesting a reappraisal of his property , the homeowner replied "Let it ride. " William R. Dougherty, 3101 Armour Terrace, reminded the Board that his 1982 valuation had been reduced following an onsite appriasal last year but said it had gone right back up this year. Mr. Becken indicated the reduction would not have been automatic in 1983. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to request the County to reevaluate the property at 3101 Armour Terrace , as requested by the owner. Motion carried unanimously .
