STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Johnson, Assistant City Manager Ahrens, Public Works
Director Moore, Community Development Director Hurlburt, Finance Director Hahn, City
Assessor Bye, Senior Appraiser Olsson, Commercial Appraiser Zent, Appraisers Kingsbury,

City Assessor Bye introduced the assessing division staff. She stated the total market value
increased 14% of which 3% was new construction. The total value in the City as of January 2,
2001 was approximately $6.2 billion. A total of 2,500 building permits were issued in 2000. The
average home sale price was $243,300 in 2000. She stated the majority of residential
neighborhoods experienced a 13% increase between their 2000 estimated market value and their
2001 estimated market value. She illustrated single—family, duplexes, lakeshore, condominium,
and commercial properties sold in 2000. She commented that there was a 5.8% increase in the
market value for commercial sales, which was due to continuing rent increases and a shortage of
available space. She reported there was a 13% increase in the market value for apartments, which
was attributed to rent increase, and a vacancy rate, which continues at less than two percent.
She commented the valuation notices were mailed March 16 and the majority of the issues
and/or concerns which have been presented to staff have been addressed.
1. Art 1• retag, 17010 Co. Rd. 47 (05-118-22-21-0004), requested a classification change. In
1997 his property was changed from agricultural to general residential. He stated that his
property is just under the minimum size to qualify for agricultural zoning classification. He
asked to be allowed a split land classification, and was not necessarily requesting that his
property be re—valued.
2. Joyce Rotell,1515 Black Oaks Lane North (29-118-22-43-0034), compared other homes
in her subdivision to hers, and requested a re—valuation. She said there is a proposal to build
townhomes on the property adjacent to hers, and this would reduce her view and diminish her
home value. She noted that her home value has increased more than 10% each year since she
moved in.
City Assessor Bye stated the following property owners requested consideration by letter or fax
prior to this evening's meeting:
