This <br /> transfer was considered to be a non-arms-length transaction between parties known to each <br /> other. The Appellant owns the adjacent property(see GIS Map#2). Therefore,this is <br /> considered an unqualified sale. <br /> 4. The manufactured home has an Actual Year Built of 1997. The Effective Year Built is <br /> 2000(25 years). No evidence for deferred maintenance was provided by the Appellant or <br /> noted by the County;therefore,no change is warranted. <br /> 5. The grade of older manufactured homes is lower than newer homes. The current grade is <br /> 'C' and should be reduced to'C-10'. This change reduces the assessed value $15,000. <br /> 5. At the site visit, a discovery of 2 decks were noted measuring 28'x4'and 15'xl8'. These <br /> decks add$5,300 to the assessed value. <br /> 6.

The increase in assessed value is$12,700 <br /> ($15,700 recommended less $3,000). <br /> • These changes would reduce the current assessed value of the property from$382,200 to <br /> $351,100, a reduction of$31,100. <br /> • Current Property Record Card <br /> • Recommended Property Record Card <br /> • Photos of Improvements <br /> • GIS map <br /> • GIS map#2 <br /> • Topography map <br /> • Comper report <br /> Motion of the Board Accept the Coun 's revised value of$351,100 <br /> Made the motion Saru Salvi <br /> Seconded the motion Richal Vanhook <br /> Voted For Leon Meyers <br /> Voted Against <br /> Property Identification: <br /> FP—roperty Owner Jeffrey P.
