-2- <br /> basement, a blacktop driveway , a. finished upstairs which is used <br /> only for storage, and a two car garage and she has .heard that several <br /> homes near her with finished basements ,. stucco .brick exteriors , <br /> concrete driveways and 2-1/2- car garages are assessed for less than <br /> her home . Mr. Becken first told . her that driveways don' t count <br /> for much in appraisals . He !stated that 750 of the homes in' the City <br /> were not given onsite appraisals , and that her onsite inspection <br /> probably raised her valuation higher than other homes in the neighbor- <br /> hood. Those homes not given onsite appraisals are appraised on <br /> computer evaluations which include the purchase prices of comparable <br /> homes sold between September 1980 and 1981. No further action was <br /> deemed necessary for this property. <br /> Bob Dougherty, 3101 Armour Terrace , said he doesn 't understand why <br /> he received a 250- raise in property valuation between 1981 and 1982 , <br /> since his home is 28 years old and .he has made no physical changes , <br /> except a. fence, to the property for the last year and after meeting <br /> recently with the County Assessor, his neighbors have received a <br /> reduction. in their valuations . He was .referred to the computer liaison <br /> person. at .Hennepin County for more detailed information about the <br /> figures which are fed into the computer for each property analysis . <br /> Mr. Dougherty said he would be perfectly willing to permit access <br /> to his property for an onsite appraisal. <br /> Motion by Payor Sundland and seconded. by Councilman Parks to request <br /> the Hennepin County Assessors Office make an onsite inspection of the <br /> property at 3101 Armour Terrace , as requested by Robert Dougherty . <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Paul Hernick, 2609 W.
