Docusign Envelope ID:360B6188-lA59-4lB3-B839-FE17A47C9C50 <br /> • The subject property is located at 4315 Chestnut Ridge Church Road in Efland. A site visit was <br /> conducted on 8-14-2025. Upon review,the heating and air conditioning unit is nonfunctional. <br /> Multiple plumbing pipes have burst, and activation of the well pump results in flooding; water <br /> has been non-potable for an extended period. Structural review shows the log walls are rotten <br /> and friable, causing loss of stability around window openings. Several windows have already <br /> detached from the frame. Overall,the condition of the structure presents significant health and <br /> safety issues and has been uninhabitable for years. <br /> • After review, the County recommends the following change: <br /> ➢ Adding a 20%adjustment for functional depreciation to account for the broken pipes <br /> and well issue <br /> ➢ Adding the attached carport <br /> ➢ Removing the value from the deck <br /> ➢ Removing the combination Heating/Air Conditioning <br /> These changes would result in a revised value from$249,400 to $241,100. <br /> • Photos of Subject <br /> • Current Property Record Card <br /> • Proposed Property Record Card <br /> • GIS Map <br /> Motion of the Board Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $241,100 <br /> Made the motion Richal Vanhook <br /> Seconded the motion Shannon Julian <br /> Voted For All BOER Members <br /> Voted Against <br /> Property Identification: <br /> Property Owner Howard Evan Kashefsky Appellant(if different) <br /> Trustee <br /> Property Address 400 W.
