Gerald W. Grabowski, 5660 Pineview Lane North, (02-118-22-32-
0018), requested that his value be lowered to no greater than
400,000. He explained he is in the process of appealing his
1991 valuation and asked why the City refuses to use the
valuation provided by his independent appraiser.

Assessor Hovet stated that Mr. Grabowski has failed to provide
the City with appraisal information from an independent
appraiser.
Mr. Grabowski showed a home listed in the 1991 Parade of homes
for $498,000 and assessed at $350,000 as a comparable home. He
stated that in 1991, the County lowered his value to $315,000 and
he requested that this value be maintained for 1992.
Councilmember Helliwell asked if the home noted as an example is
lakeshore property.
Mr. Grabowski stated no; but the home has better features than
his.
Assessor Hovet stated $315,000 is the structural value only. The
estimated land value of $135,000 brings the total estimated
market value to $450,000 as proposed. Fie explained that Mr.
Grabowski has appealed this value to tax court. He stated that
staff would recommend that the 1992 value remain at the 1991
value, as established by the court.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Helliwell, seconded by
Councilmember Edson, to establish the 1992 estimated market value
of parcel 01-118-22-32-0018 in an amount identical to the 1991
estimated market value to be established by the tax court. The
Council clarified that if the tax court lowers the value for
1991, the 1992 value would also be lowered. However, if the
court increases the value, the 1992 value would be increased.
Mr. Grabowski concurred that this approach was fnir.
Assessor Hovet stated that when tho tax court ruling is received,
staff will amend the 1992 value to be identical with the 1991
value established by the courts. Mr. Grabowski will not have to
request the change.
Motion carried on a roll call vote, four ayes; no nays.
Mrs. Richard Hatfield, 2524 West Medicine Lake Drive, (26-118-22-
12-0019), stated that the increase in valuation from $123,000 to
140,800 from 1991 to 1992 is not justified. The lot size is 40'
on the ends, but narrows to 30' in the middle. The home has
three bedrooms, one of which is unfinished. She stated the home
was constructed for $50 per square foot; however, it is assessed
at over $100 per square foot. The topography of the property
results in a very steep driveway grade of 25 percent. Because of
the narrow lot width, a vehicle cannot turn around on the
property.
Mrs. Hatfield stated they sold the identical adjacent lot. it
was listed at $115,000 and sold for $90,000 after several months.

Assessor Hovet rotated the home on the adjacent property is not
comparable in age or design to the Hatfield home.
MOTION was made by Mayor Bergman, seconded by Councilmember
Tierney, to reduce the 1992 estimated market value from $140,800
to $134,800.
Mayor Bergman explained that this value results from adding the
value of the garage addition and the approximate 10 percent
increase in land value for lakeshore properties to Cho 1991
valuation.
Motion carried on a roll call vote, four ayes; no nays.
The 1992 Board of Review meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
