1 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING MINUTES <br /> APRIL 11, 1995 <br /> 4 I. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL. <br /> 5 The meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M. by Mayor Ranallo. <br /> 6 II.. ROLL CALL. <br /> 7 Councilmembers Present: Ranallo, Marks, Enrooth, Wagner, and Fleming. <br /> 8 Also Present: Michael Morrison, City Manager; Larry Miller, Hennepin County Principal <br /> 9 Appraiser; and Carrie Luther, Hennepin County Appraiser. <br /> 10 Mayor Ranallo explained this year there was a physical assessment done of one half of the homes <br /> 11 in St. Anthony located north of 33rd Avenue and east of Silver Lake Road to the county line. He <br /> 12 indicated the meeting tonight was to discuss the market value of the property and not to discuss <br /> 13 taxes. This meeting was an opportunity for residents who felt they had not received a proper <br /> 14 appraisal of the property, to voice their opinion, and a second appraisal could then be ordered. <br /> 15 Hennepin County Appraiser Miller explained there is a ratio between what the estimated market <br /> 16 value of a home is and what the home will actually sell for. A home that sells for the estimated <br /> 17 market value is at 100%. The ratio Hennepin County strives for is between 93%and 94%. The <br /> �8 median ratio achieved in St. Anthony is 93.5%, which is comparable to other suburbs in <br /> 1j Hennepin County. Miller explained that for the homes the assessors were unable to gain <br /> 20 entrance to, the appraisal is based on physical data on file, such as age, size, condition, etc. The <br /> 21 estimated market value is then adjusted by computer based on other sales. <br /> 22 Mayor Ranallo then invited any resident who wished to speak to approach the podium. <br /> 23 III. PUBLIC COMMENTS. <br /> 24 Arthur Johnson, 3100 Townview Avenue N.E., (PIN#06-029-23420068 ), indicated his <br /> 25 estimated market value had risen $12,000.00 in the past two years. <br /> 26 Miller explained the appeal process. He stated the initial assessment was performed. The <br /> 27 homeowner could then contact the Hennepin County Assessors Office and voice his concern or <br /> 28 complaint. If it was necessary, someone would again go and look at the property. If the <br /> 29 homeowner was not pleased with the results,he could come before the Board of Review. At that <br /> 30 time, another assessment could be ordered. If the homeowner was again not pleased with the <br /> 31 results, he could then appear before the County Board of Equalization and then, if necessary, go <br /> 32 to the Minnesota Tax Court. <br /> 33 Mr. Johnson stated he did not want another appraisal of his home. <br /> 34 There was no action taken on this appeal by the Board of Review. <br /> 'R5 Ms. Charlotte Olson, 3418 Skycroft Drive, (PIN406-029-23140111 ), stated in 1991,the <br /> 36 estimated market value of her home was $130,000.00.
