Docusign Envelope ID:3212FB18-340A-49C8-8186-3F00570807E7 Statement of Appeal: The appellant is requesting a reduction in value by removing the building values for two residences on the property due to their poor conditions. Current Assessed Value $3,997,555 County Opinion $3,730,255 (market value) (market value) $240,813 (assessed value) $508,113 (assessed value) Time of Hearing 1:45 PM Appellant Opinion $3,680,755 (market value) $191,313 (assessed value) County Representative Louise Benson- Board Decision $3,730,255 (market value) Lochner $240,813 (market value) Evidence submitted by the appellant: • "The house at 1300 Crutchfield Road has been abandoned and is in very,very bad shape. It has no occupants and no hope of being rehabilitated. It has no value. We have had an appraiser, Wayne Ross, out there who says, `The house on Crutchfield has absolutely no value,primarily because of condition, and the fact that it has no access."' • "Concerning the house at 2223 Moorefields,he says, `... determined that the home suffered from serious infestation/deterioration/settling to the parameter bands, sills,floor joists,etc.to the extent that the house had little, if any,value. That is to say,upon initial inspection,it appeared that the "cost to cure" would be greater than the value of the home remediated to average condition....My initial thinking was that the house on Moorefields offered little,if any, contributory value."' Evidence submitted by the county representative: • On October 8, 2024, a site visit was performed to review the condition of the two homes on PIN 9853470588.Mr. Ed Sykes, caretaker of the property,assisted the county in accessing the property. Photos are attached for 2223 Moorefields Road and 1300 Crutchfield Road. • The home at 2223 Moorefields Road on Card#1 is currently occupied by tenants. Mr. Sykes stated that the interior of the home was in rough condition,to the point that he would prefer not to go in it,let alone occupy it. This is due to the minimal maintenance of the 97-year-old home. Per Mr. Sykes,the wall plaster is original, it is infested with termites,the roof appears relatively good but has leaks due to the 30-year-old shingles. It is the County's opinion that the condition of the home should be reduced to'Poor'. The storage building has no value. Keyed onto the PIN card SFYI is an additional shed with no value and a dwelling with no value. Both should be corrected by deleting. • The home at 1300 Crutchfield Road on Card#2 is unoccupied and uninhabitable. See the attached pictures showing the roof caving in, and doors and windows askew. The foundation is 124 years old and has no value. It is recommended that the condition of this home be changed to Poor and additional physical depreciation of 100%be applied to this residence. • All outbuildings are in dilapidated condition with no contributory value. It is recommended that their condition also be changed to Poor with 100%override depreciation applied. • The recommended changes would remove the value of the second building and outbuildings and reduce the building value of the inhabited residence from$157,400 to $50,400. • Current PIN card for subject • Revised PIN card for subject • Photos of Subject-2 homes • GIS map of subject location
