BOARD OI' REVICW MEETIWG OF MAY 11, 19£31
Councilman Schneider asked the value placed on the home last year, and Mr.
Herrniann stated it v,as 562,000, t•tr. Herrmann pointed out the biggest
portion of increase was on the land value in that area.
Mr. Vogt stated directly to the west of his home is a doubte bungalow and
across the street from his lot is a smatl conurercial building.
Mr. Herrmann stated he r�ould like to see the appraisals F1r. Vogt•has in
his possession and he viould be mostly interested in comparable sales figures
regarding the year in which these ho��ies o-rcre sold. htr. Vogt stated the
comparable figures are for homes that have bcen sold in the last year, and
he could provide the information this evening.
Mayor Nee stated he felt staff should review this property and pointed out
the Council was aware of hir. Vogt's argument and felt he had quite a
convincing case.
Mr. George Wicklund, 101 6ibralter Road, stated last year his home was
assesseJ at 543,'•�0 and tnis year it is at 550,500 �•�hich is over a 16-1/2"
increase and que�cioned how they arrived at this figure.
Mr. Herrmann, City Assessor, stated the value on Mr. Wicklund's home v�ent up
6% this year and tne land value �vent up 50`,. He stated the previous value
on the land was 510,400 and it is now 515,600.
Mr. Wicklund asked if all similar properties were raised the same percent.
Mr� Herrmann stated each particular lot was taken into c ar�sideration as
its size and the area to come up with a uniform assessment. He stated,
in certain areas, things have changed so the land fiad to be revalued.
Mr. Wicklund asked r�hen these increases were going to end. Mr. Herrmann
.;tated it depended on what people will pay for real estate in the future.
Mr. Herrmann also explained the tax credit received for those persons who
are 65 or older, based on their income.
Mayor Nee stated the requirement of the Council is to establish what they feel
the house would sell for, if it was on the market. He stated the Assessor
arrives at the value by reviewing �vhat comparable homes sold for in the area.
Mr. Wicklund stated he didn't doubt it would sell for the value placed on his
home, but didn't think it was fair to charge these prices for homes. He
questioned if values would go up next year.
Mr. Herrmann stated he had Lo admit that cities like Fridley, within close
proximity of Minneapolis and St. Paul, have greater value because, rrith the
price of gas, people do not want to drive long distances to their place of
er�loyment.
Mr. Albin hiyslajek, 6430 Riverview Terrace, requested his taxes be frozen
a va ue o�, 00 �nstea o ra�sing it to 593,000.
Flayor �dee asked t•ir. D1yslajek if he felt the home would sell for 593,000 and
he stated he paid this for the property, but_wanted it valued at only 573,000.
Councilr�an Schneider explained, by la�r, tiie Council can only make sure the
value the Assessor has placed on the pr•operty represents the true market
value and felt if he purchased the hor�e for 593,000, then it must be �vorth
this a���ount unless son�ething has happened that causes the value to be laver.
Pir. Dtyslajek stated hc wanted the value frozen at 57°.000 Cecause he is retired
and ►�on't have the moncy to pay the ta:«•s. htayor Nce stated the Council does
not have thc authority to leave the value at 51;,000, if they feel the market
value is 593,000.

BOARD OF R[VICW MCCTING OF M11Y 11, 19a1
Mr. Myslajek felt. when a person is retired, they shouid reccive a break in
taxes and stated he �•,ould be satisfied if the tar.es don't 90 up. Ptayor PJee
Stated they cannot 9uarantee the taxes wouldn't increase because of all the
taxing districis. He pointed out there were nwny other a�t�ncies, besides
the City, involved in determining a�hat taxes would be collected.
Mr. Lief flenrik;en, 643n Rivervie�v Terrace, stated in 1973, his home was
valued at $31,000 and today the value is at 5120,0(10. He pointed out he
will not be able to afford to live in his home when he retires.
Mayor Nee asked f:r. Henriksen if he would sell his hon�e for 5120,000. He
stated the point is that you cannot sell homes r�ith the interest rates as
they arp today. He stated when the Assessor came to his home, even though
he hasn't had any changes since he first moved into it, it was pointed out
to him that ttie laundry room and furnance room were finished and the increase
in value wouldn't hurt him as it would only be a few more dollars.
Mr. Henriksen's concern is what the value will be when he retires and if
he can afford to live in his home.
Councilman Schneider pointed out the Council can only determine if the value
placed on the home is a fair value, based on comparable sales.
Mrs. He1en Argue, 6648 Channel Road, asked why the value of her home was
raised 8,900 from $41,�00 to 550,700.
Mr. Nerrmann, Ci•ty Assessor, stated part of the increase was because the
breesewdY hadbeen finished vi�ichraised the value by 51,574 and the biggest
increase was in the value of the land from y16,200 to 522,000.
Mrs. Argue stated the br�.�sway cannot be used all year around. Mr. Herrmann
stated this was true anu was taken into consideration in figuring the value.
Mr. Herrmann then f�irther explained hav the value was placed on this lot
since it is an unusually large lot.
Mayor Nee asked �4rs. Argue ifshe felt the property would sell for the value
placed�on it. Mrs. Argue stated she didn't know until she talks to a re�����1r•.
Mayor Nee stated staff woulc! revie�a the value placed on her home ind �it rrill
come again before the Cou��..il on June 1, 1SII1.
Mrs. Argue also questioned what could be done about the condition of her
neighbar's property. Dtr. Flora stated this property owner has been contac�ed
and the City was 9iven a date when corrective action would be taken and the
area improved.
Mr. Ralph Truax 7830-1884 Elm Street, asked Mr. Herrmann to have his name
recorded as having appealed as he a�ants more time to investigate the value
ptaced on this property.
hlr�Jos�h Valtinson, 5215 Pierce Street, stated the value placed on his
hon�e in 1979 4�as 572,860 and this year the value as of January 2, 1981 is
5101,400. hir. Valtinson stated what he is concerned about is the value
placed on the improvements. Ne pointed out 'there is another house in his
area that cost about 5225,000 and the value placed on this property is
�I29,OU0. tle stated other homes in his area are valued at 569,000.
Councilwoman t•toses asked if houses in thc area valucd at 569,000 ��r.re
similar to his home. hir. Valtinson stated he has about 1,450 square
feet anJ most of the homes are about 1,250 square feet.
t4r. Valtinson felt the value placed on his home �•�as high, and it should
be lor�er.
Mayor Nee stated the staff would check into this further and eome back with
a report to the Council atthe�June I, 1981 mceting.

BOARO OF REVICW MCCTItIG OF MAY 11, 19t31
Mr. Richard Ilarris,_ 6200 Riverview Terrace, ap�eared br_fure the Council
regardi ny the va l ues �pl aced un ►iis pro{ierY ics i n thc C i ty. Ile stated Lhe
property at 6200 f;ivErview Terrace had a value of 59G,700 placed on it for
last year and the r�ew value is 5117,2C0 which is a 21'.. ur $20,500 increase.
Mr. Har►•is felt this was a little high.
Mr. Herrm�nn pointed out this is a rivcr lot and the lot value went from
b17,200 to 532,9U0.
Mayor Nee asked t•ir. Harris if he felt they had the wrong market value. Mr.
Harris stated he honestly doesn't think the property is worth that and could
see about S101,000, but not 5117,000. '
htr.'flarris felt the problem is all the papers filed in Anoka Gounty show
about a 12� to 15°S additional charge because of the morte•age company's
Charge to the-otivner. 1ie pointed out if a tiome sold for 5200.000, it would
also show another y30,000, which represents 15°; of the selling price for the
points and this appears as part of the mortgage.
Mr. Narris further stated the value of the property at 6210 Riverview Terrace
has been raised by $18,000 from 586,000 to 5104,000, and felt this value
was also high.
Mr. Harris raised the question of the value of his property at 7765-7795
Main Street. He stated the:value this year was $206,500 which is an increase
of $40,000 or 19.4a in a one year period.
Mr. Herrmann stated, basically, it was the land that rose in value and the
value placed on the land is 577,600.
Mr. Harris pointed out there is about 60,000 square feet in each of those
parcels, and felt land of this nature was going.for about 80 cents a square
foot.
Mr. Harris stated the property at7701-1-7703 Main Street also received an
increase and questioned what percent of the new addition is put on this
year's taxes.
Mr. Nerrmann, City Assessor, stated 50°� or $71,ti00 is for the new addition.
Mr. Harris questioned if the balance was for the land to which Mr. Herrmann
answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Harris stated the property at 7710-7720 Main Street had an 11.6" increase
in value from S30B,600 to S344,300. He pointed out, however, the land across
the street had a 19�� increase in value.
Mayor Nee stated staff would review the items brought up by Mr. Harris with
a report back to Council at the June 1, 1981 meeting.
Mr. Harris stated he would like a ruling on the matter of points as he honestly
feels the valuation, because of this system, are probalby inflated 10"� to 15;•.
Mr. Edward Froaale, 64;�0 Rivervietv_ Terrace, stated his lot is assessed at •
� 27,000 and his front yard has ten inches of blacltop bcla� the grass as it
was once a street. Fie stated tlie vatue last year ►aas 75,000 and it has nrnv
gone to S91,900.
'
�
'
Mr. Frogale stated he could not see a value of 527,200 placed on fiis lot
because of the situation in his front yard and his home is not on the river.

The three sales described above have all sold in 1980. They all have smaller
lots, smaller houses, smaTler garages and are older than the subject property.
Yet they all sold for considerably more than the value we have on the subject.
Therefore, the Assessor's office recommends no reduction in �alue .of $73,700.

The property owner had a market value appraisal made for divorce settlement.
This means that no Real Estate commission or points are involved.
If the couple had sold the home for $75,000 and paid 7% in commission and 7 points
it would have brought the net return down to $64,500.
This would not have included other costs so it really should have a market
value of more than $75,000 to net $64,500 if the comnission and points are
right.
The comparable homes, used in the appraisal, all brought more money than the
property in question and size of the three were smaller as fol7ows

I called Mr. Wicklund and he stated he was satisfied when he saw the records
of his neighbors and realized he was treated equally with them.
Mr. Wicklund gets a refund from the �tate, due to the "Property Tax Refund"
and has a long way to go before his limitation of benefits is used up. Therefore,
if Mis income does not go up his net property tax will remain the same even if
his property tax goes up.

' The above comparison information on houses sold along the river wouid indicate
that the property at 6434 Riverview Terrace is reasonably valued. Although we
found that the owner had deeded 2z feet off tFie south of his property to his
' neighbor, due to a patio over the lot line, which we had not recognized.

This property was reappraised May 14, 1981 and although the property was
, built in 1937 it has had good care and proper maintenance. The basic house
is of average construction with some exceptions which would include not having
enough closet space, no entry closets and bath directly off the kitchen.
Also the recently added screen porch is of poor construction as is the garage.
' Thw Assessor's office recommends the board reduce the structure value b

This approach is to assemble and analyze recent sales of similar properties
to the subject to obtain a reasonable estimete of value. Of course, no two
properties are exactly alike and so adjustments must be made. Dollar adjust-
ments are made to the sale property to make it more comparable to the subject.
If the sale property has an item that the subject does not have, the appraiser
must subtract the value of that particular item from ihe sale. The reverse
of this is also true. If the sale property does not have an item or feature
that the subject does, a plus factor must be added to the sale. The end result
should be a fairly close estimate of value of the subject property.
In this appraisal only two sale properties were used because of their c7ose
proximity to the subject. They are the same age and quality as the subject.
They are ]ocated on either side of the subject property. The sales took
place in April and May of 1980 and no adjustment was made for time to January 2,
1981.
After all the adjustments were made an indicated market value of the subject
property would be between $110,400 and $114,100. By applying the individual
sales ratio (dividing the Assessor's Market Value by the Sales Price) to the
adjusted value, would indicate an assessor's P+larket Value of betwe2n $100,000
and $102,000. This compares with the $101,400 value of the subject. Therefore,
the Assessor's office wou]d recomnend no change be made.

The above comparison information on houses sold along the river would indicate
that the property at 6200 Riverview 7errace is not overvalued. We have the
above property valued at $117,200. Therefore, the Assessor's office recommends
no reduction in value.

In an analysis of these sa1es, the number one would be eliminated for purposes of
arriving at a market value of open land for development. This is because this
sale was for expansion by the owner of adjacent lots, and indicates the premium
paid for such use. This premium is indicative of the value of excess land of
developed parcels such as the subjects have. -
The total sale price shown for each sale is the consideration at the time of sale
plus outstanding special assessments assumed by the buyer. Each sale was reduced
to a comnon denominator of price per square foot. For purposes of adjusting
these sale prices to an indicated value as of January 2, 1981, the date of the
assessment, an annual inflation rate of 59� was assumed. An assumption of this rate
was necessary because there were no repeat sales of the same tracts to get a
reliable indication of inflation. We do, however, feel the 5� annual rate used
as being conservative.
The result of adding the date of sale factor was an average indicated raw land
value of $1.13 er sc�. ft. An additional 15% factor was then added to the 1.13
to adjust t�ie-raw land value to an indicated improved land value. This produced
a value of $1.30 for improved land. The 15% factor adjusts for normal land
preparation, hook-up of utilities and final grading.
It is known that a number of the land sale comparables in this study, required
remedial subsoil work to various degrees. It is felt, however, that the averaging
process of the study should even out sale price differences for these conditions.

In the analysis of these sales, number 5& 6 would not be used because of certain
conditions. Sale #5 was to the adjoining property owner to be used for expansion
of their previous facility. This sale was included in this listing only to show the
premium some buyers will pay for certain situations. Sale #6 is of a significantly
smaller building than subject and reflects a much higher per square foot price
than applies to them.
Sales #7, #8 and #9 are consecutive sales of the same property. They not only give
a gpod indication of value, but a7so provide a measurement of inflation from 1977 to
1981 or approximately �% per month.
In the process of analysis, as with the land sales, the assumed upaid specials
' were added to the sale price to get a tota7 sale price. These adjusted sale prices
were reduced to a common denominator of sale price per square foot of building area.
These values were adjusted at the 1% per month sin�e the sale date,to get an indicated
value as of January 2, 1981, the assessment date. Excluding Sales #5 and #6, a
' range of $28 -$36 per square foot of building is indicated. We have not been
able to identify the reason for Sale #3 to be so much higher than the rest. Therefore,
by eliminating that sale, the range becomes $28 to $32. Subject properties range from
' $20 to $23 (with addition) including excess land, and $18.51 to $19.32 excluding
excess land.
