Motion. carried unanimously. LOWER ASSESSED VALUATIONS ACCEPTED- FOR 10 NORTHGATE OFFICE • CONDOMINIUMS _ _ - Mr. Holmes distributed_ a listing of the units in the office park which indicated the--.valuations. on 10 of the 18 units had' been revised by 5% for 1987 . He apologized .for the County' s posting error which had resulted in Tim Tromiczak' s and seven other condominium owners' - properties being valued at $81, 300, where their valuations for 1987 should only have been for $77,500. The Assessor asked the Council sitting as the Board of Review to make the value adjustments for all 10 units as indicated on the listing.. In reference to unit #16 owned by Mr. Tromiczak for which the Council had ordered a reevaluation at the April 14th meeting, Mr. Holmes said the County had to take the condo owner' s word that the original owner, Mr. Volkman, had sold that unit to him .in November, 1985, for $75,900. He said the County had no record of either a sales disclosure or certificate-, of real estate for that sale with the only record on the property being Mr. Volkman' s purchase -of the property in August, 1984, for $85,000. In any event, he said it would take more than one sale and a pattern of several sales of this or comparable properties in the $60,000 range to convince the assessors to reduce the Northgate condominiums' valuations to the levels Mr. Tromiczak has said realtors have indicated the properties would sell for. And, Mr. Holmes pointed to the listing as an indication that all sales activities in the office park to date had been upward rather than on a downtrend.
