talked with Mr. Knowles and herself about the property. Mr. Lloyd <br /> said he found that the house only had two bathrooms., not 2'h, and <br /> that the grade was slightly higher than he thought it should be; he <br /> recommended that the grade be lowered to B + 05. This would bring <br /> the valuation down from $110,052 to $106,233. <br /> Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by Commissioner Barnes, <br /> to approve ,the Tax Office's recommendation, as outlined above. Vote <br /> Ayes, 3; noes, 0. <br /> Mr. Andrew M. Karres, Tax Map 27, Block E, .Parcels 6 and 9A: <br /> Mr.- Petty and Mr. Koury accompanied Mr. Karres before the Board. <br /> Mr. Karres...said there were 'two.,prob.lems; :1) 6h :acres..of undeveloped <br /> land had been valued the 'samer..as 6 acres. of 'improved land; and,, 2) <br /> a small 1 acre tract bought solely for access to Legion Road was <br /> over valued. He said due to the set backs it was virtually undevelopable. <br /> Mx. Lloyd said Mr. Karres had appealed to the E & R Board but his <br /> wife had been ill and his appearance should have .been rescheduled; the <br /> Tax Office had inadvertently overlooked the request to reschedule. <br /> I _ y- <br /> Mr. Karres presented some financial information to the Tax Office. <br /> Mr. Lloyd said he would like time to review this request based on <br /> three aspects: 1) income (financial figures presented) ; 2) zoning; <br /> and, 3) terrain. . <br /> Mr. Karres' request is to be returned to the Board's agenda <br /> after Mr. Lloyd analyses the data. Mr'. Karres said the undeveloped <br /> six3i acres had several, tons of dirt which had to be removed before he <br /> could develop it. <br /> Mr. Karres said he had requested also an appeal of the value <br /> of his home; this was .also overlooked in error. He wished for Mr. <br /> I <br /> Lloyd to check his home too. He said he was originally -revalued in <br /> 1973 at $67,500 and this year it jumped to $175,000. He feels for <br /> several reasons this'is too much. He asked that the Board permit <br /> Mr. Lloyd to check his home as it is''easier to show the problem than <br /> to explain it. <br /> Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by Commissioner. Barnes, <br /> to ask Mr. Lloyd to check Mr. Karres' home and return to the Board <br /> with a recommendation.. Vote: Ayes, 3; noes, 0. <br /> 1y1_+ ": <br />
