Spielmann property at 2813 Silver Lake Road back to the <br /> purchase price paid for the property April 30 , 1983. <br /> Motion carried unanimously . <br /> Margaret Suhr, 3224 Chelmsford Road, indicated she was present to get <br /> a better understanding of howvaluations are set and to determine <br /> whether the raise she has received is out of line. The Mayor told her <br /> a majority of the homes in St. Anthony received a 10 .9% raise in 1982 <br /> which was based largely on the real estate sales made in the City the <br /> previous year. Several_ examples of such sales, which would appear to . <br /> justify a raise in valuation, were cited from the booklet which had <br /> been provided the Council members for reference . Mrs . Suhr ' s attention <br /> was drawn to Mr. Childs ' memorandum showing the valuation and taxes <br /> for a $79 , 000 home in St. Anthony, which illustrated just what portion <br /> of the taxes were attributable to the City, School District, County , <br /> and Metro District. No further action was requested by the property <br /> owner. <br /> Roy Perzel, 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. , requested 'a reappraisal of his <br /> property saying his taxes had increased almost 100 percent and the only <br /> improvements he had made was a porch, which had no footings . Mr. <br /> Becken agreed that it did not appear that such a porch could be <br /> considered to add to the square footage of the home . <br /> Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to <br /> request that the property at 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. be reappraised by <br /> Hennepin County . <br /> Motion carried unanimously . <br /> William Tabaika, 2512 - 27th Avenue N.E. , indicated he was present to <br /> try to find out why his property taxes had gone from $496 in 1982 to <br /> $960 in 1983 and his valuation from °x59 ,000 to $71 ,000 . The Mayor <br /> said he could sympathize with him since he had experienced a similar <br /> increase in taxes himself . When he asked whether Mr. Tabaika was <br /> requesting a reappraisal of his property , the homeowner replied "Let <br /> it ride. " <br /> William R. Dougherty , 3101 Armour Terrace, reminded the Board that his <br /> 1982 valuation .had been reduced following an onsite appriasal last <br /> year but said it had gone right back up this year. Mr. Becken indicated <br /> the reduction would not have been automatic in 1983 . <br /> Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to request <br /> the County to reevaluate the property at 3101 Armour Terrace , as <br /> requested by the owner. <br /> Motion carried unanimously . <br /> Nancy and George Soldatow were present to protest what they perceive <br /> • to be an unfair valuation of $106 , 000 for their property at 3217 - 32nd <br /> Avenue N.E. Ms. Soldatow reported they had bought the property for <br /> $20 ,000 less than its valuation 1979 and abatement reduced the valuItion <br /> to a level they believe still to be too high for property for which t'_ \� <br />
