This would be the type of presentation? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: In terms of trying to discover what an appreciation level would be in a defined area, whoever defines that, you <br />would want to look at the sales and resales of properties, residential/non-residential pieces, over some period of time to <br />discover what an appreciation level would be and that is essentially what you are doing. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: Was it looked at or considered what the value of the property, just looking at his property, would be with the <br />older building that exists there versus the newer building? <br /> <br />Vic Knight: No ma’am. The only thing I looked at was making the assumption, which is defined in the report that the <br />proposed facility is there. You have to make the assumption it is there even though it is not and what impact that might have <br />as if it were there. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: Mr. Maitland, just doing some quick calculations, as you were talking and trying to evaluate the data on the <br />way you were looking at it in terms of before and after, I think you said 2004-2005 was when changes occurred? <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: I tried to get certified… <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Mr. Maitland, could I ask you to step up to the mic. <br /> <br />Dawn Brezina: Kind of looking at the data at the new rate, the way you were suggesting, I think you need to look at the <br />calculations not the appreciations before 2003 or 2004 were much greater than all the appreciations after that. I only found, I <br />think three, the house that sold in 2002, 2002 and 2004 which I think was predating the construction were in the appreciation <br />ranges per year for those sales. Between 2.0, 2.8 and 3.0% appreciation per year and the ones that sold after 2005 <br />scattered between the .9 and 5.2 averaging about the same and I think they look similar to me. You were comparing them to <br />appreciations every time, you were saying the last sale had an appreciation of 3% but before that it was appreciating at 5 or <br />6%. I think that may have been the timing as you had previously said taking into account years that had better appreciation <br />than others. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: To answer your first question, I’ll tender this as Defendant’s Exhibit #5 is a Board of County Commissioners <br />Action Item Abstract dated May 1, 2005 that references here that Wal-Mart had recently opened in 2004 and that Home <br />Depot is unknown at this time but could perhaps take place by late 2005. That was about as close as I could do.
