ITEM ND. 3--�IKING CHEVROLET, 7501 HIGHWAY N0. 65 NORTHEAST, SECTION 12, PLAT 53912,
Mayor Nee explained that the owners of this property did not feel that the back portion
of this property was worth as much or should be taxed at as high a rate as the front
portion of the property, and asked Mr. Herrmann if he had any comments or recommendations
Mr. Herrmann explained that the assessor's office had compared other properties in the
area which are similar, allowing for graduation in the depth differences. Values
were computed both at a higher rate for the first 200 feet and a lesser rate for the
balance of the property, and using an average rate for the entire properties
The recommendation of the assessor's office was to consider all three parcels the
same way as they are used as one total building site, and to use a rate of $ 65 per �
square foot rather than the $.75 per square foot used originally. Thts would reduce
the land value on Parcel 2850 from $115,000 to $95,900, the land value on Parcel 4350
from $75,800 to $62,400; and the land value on Parcel 4360 from $34,3�0 to $26,3�0,
a$4D,500 total reduction. The value of $342,600 placed on the structure would
remain the same.
Mr. Herrmann also stated that it was the recommendation of the assessor's office that
the Strite Anderson property should be treated in the same manner and should also
be allowed a reduction in valuation, based on a new rate of $.65 per square foot.
This would reduce the land valuation from $156,500 to $135,500.
