1 <br /> Board of Review Meeting Minutes <br /> • Apri 1 10, 2001 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 1 Councilmember Horst agreed and stated if there is validity to Ms. Osipenko's claim, the <br /> 2 Assessor will discover that from an inspection. He explained that homes in St. Anthony are <br /> 3 increasing in value and when they sell, they will realize the increase. <br /> 4 Mayor Cavanaugh noted that Ms. Osipenko's income is probably not increasing at the same rate <br /> 5 as the valuation increases. He noted this forces the elderly who live on a fixed income out of <br /> 6 their homes. He reviewed the work of the Legislature to revise the tax laws to address that <br /> 7 problem. <br /> 8 Ms. Doolittle explained the property tax refund program and encouraged Ms. Osipenko to <br /> 9 research that option since she may be eligible. Ms. Doolittle explained that residential taxes <br /> 10 cannot increase by more than 8% in a given year. <br /> 11 Anthony Kazor, 3008 33rd Avenue NE, stated he believes his home should have a limited value <br /> 12 of$180,000 and the estimated market value reduced from $204,000 to $200,000. He suggested <br /> 13 that if he sold his home for$200,000 he would have to pay someone $14,000 to sell it so the <br /> 14 value would be$186,000. Mr. Kazor stated last year his property was increased to$178,000. He <br /> 15 stated he has made no improvements to his property since 1995 unless it was a hazard so some <br /> 4 things are deteriorating like the sidewalk, deck, and roof which are 22 years old. He stated he <br /> would also have to put on new roof if he sold it. He noted that the seniors are having problems <br /> 18 and so are others who work and have children. Mr. Kazor stated he thinks the value should be at <br /> 19 $180,000. He advised that his house is unique since it is on 33rd Avenue which is not a quiet <br /> 20 area. Also, the tennis courts create light in his house which sometimes disturbs his sleep until <br /> 21 they are shut off. <br /> 22 Mayor Cavanaugh asked about the percentage of increase. Ms. Doolittle stated the valuation was <br /> 23 $173,000 last year and$200,000 in 2001. The average increase is 16%. <br /> 24 Mr. Kazor stated his concern is the limited market value since that is what he pays taxes on. He <br /> 25 stated he bought in 1995 for$168,000, however, the house has been on the market for over a year <br /> 26 so he thinks he paid too much when he purchased it. <br /> 27 Ms. Doolittle stated she looked at this property and compared it to other sales. The house is a <br /> 28 1,400 square foot split entry and since there are not many of those, the sales comparison was to <br /> 29 split level properties. Ms. Doolittle stated Mr. Kazor's home is superior to those comparisons. <br /> 30 She advised of other similar home sales and stated they did take deterioration into consideration. <br /> 31 She stated she believes this is a fair valuation as the increase has been less than 20% since the <br /> 32 purchase price in 1994. <br /> 33 In response to Councilmember Sparks, Ms. Doolittle explained how they take busy streets into <br /> 0 consideration. <br />
