The Mayor stated he disagreed with this and suggested there is some reason to
lower the valuation at this time and asked the Assessor to come up with an amount
to :chow the effect of the locational obsolescence.
Councilmember Crain endorsed the idt-a and added it would be appropriate to
reconsider the Christensen property as well.
Mayor Davenport stated his proposal was an arbitrary determination on his part on
what the figure should be. But, as there are no comparables to base this on yet,
following completion of this project the sta% will have to develop new
comparables and it is possible that there wi`.: be further changes in the
valuation$

estimated market value for 330 Zinnia Lane be $64.300.

than the parcel to the south sold for recently. The locational value is only
