DISCUSSION OF PROPERTY VALUATION IN ST. ANTHONY. 18 The Mayor reviewed the Board of Review process and indicated that a request by a resident for 19 a second appraisal by the assessor of their property won't necessarily reduce the original 20 valuation but might have an opposite effect. He reported that sometimes this process causes an 21 increased valuation. 22 23 Carrie Luther, Hennepin County Assessor's Office introduced Tamara Doolittle also from the 24 Hennepin County Assessor's Office, who will be assisting her with the City's re-evaluations •25 this year. 26 27 Anthony Kaczor, 3008 - 33`d Avenue N.E., reported that he had questioned the value of his 28 property and called Ms. Luther. He indicated that she returned to his property to re-assess the 29 property based on their conversation. He said that he was very comfortable with the result of 30 the reassessment and was here tonight to speak about her professionalism and to tell the Board 31 that she did a good job. 32 33 Richard Talbot, 3128 Wilson Street N.E., reported that he had been before the Board of 34 Review before and that his property is affected by flooding problems. He indicated that he had 35 received abatement as a result of the flooding. He agreed with Mr. Kaczor that Ms. Luther 36 does a good job, but that he didn't understand the increase he received this year because he has 37 done no improvements to his property that wouldn't and hasn't prevented any further flooding. 38 He reported that the valuation of his property has gone from $98,200 to $107,000. He 39 indicated that the value of his home is not comparable to homes in the area, not even one block 40 away because they are not inundated with water like his is. Luther indicated that she could 41 review her records or inspect the property again. She reported that she was there in 1997, at 42 Mr. Talbot's request and recommends that she review the property records for Mr. Talbot's 43 property. 44 45 The Mayor also advised Mr. Talbot to contact the City Manager to see the plans for flood •46 mitigation and street reconstruction projects that are scheduled for his neighborhood this year.
