1, Board of Review Meeting Minutes April 23, 1996 • Page 2 1 Mr. Miller explained the Michaeloff property had not been inspected for many years. Upon 2 inspection he found there is much deferred maintenance. The house has dated gold carpet, the 3 wood trim and ceramic tile are in need of repair, and there are water leak marks on the ceiling. 4 For these reasons, it is recommended the market valuation be decreased to $142,000. 5 Mr. Miller explained the recommendation to decrease the valuation of the Krueger property was 6 due to the floor plan. There is a small entry way with steps down to the basement where 7 someone else lives. There is a long hallway which goes past the kitchen into the dining room. 8 Mr. Miller explained the main concern with the Light property was a water problem that the 9 owner was not aware of when he purchased the property. This problem has since been resolved 10 and was financed by the previous owner. The house is on a slab so the drain tiles had to be 11 installed on the interior of the home. Mr. Miller noted that the lack of a finished basement in this 12 home did not result in a large difference in value. 13 Mr. Miller noted all four residents have been notified of the result of the reassessment by 14 telephone and mail and appear to be satisfied. 15 Councilmember Faust noted the minutes of April 9, 1996 stated that the Light property was 16 valued at $85,500.
