BOARD of REVIEW
Apri1 17, 1989
1989 Board of Review Members,
The follawing pages contain the data and recommendations, prepared
by the Fridley Assessor's office, regarding 1989 EMV complaints
made at the April 10, 1989 Board of Review.
An attempt has been made to contact each property owner concerned,
to advise them of our intended recommendations.
We were unable to complete review of two of the cases presented
April 10. We will continue to work on these and should be prepared
to present them for action, May 1. On behalf of the Fridley
Assessor's office, I want to thank the Board for its excellent
conduct of these meetings, Property taxation is a difficult
process for all of us, including the taxpayers, and I am sure your
concerned deliberations, in these matters, are greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Leon Madsen, City Assessor

All of the sales comps on Monroe St. are virtually identical. They
were built by the same builder. It is unusual to find this many
comps for a subject, that are so similar. It is difficult to
refute such good evidence.
The Assessor's office recommends no change in value.

The three comparable sales differ from the subject in a number of
respects. The adjustment column, following each comp, shows the
amount of $ adjustment needed to make the sale like the subject.
After making the adjustments, an adjusted sale price is obtained
which should indicate the value of the subject. The results of the
above process yields an adjusted value range of $84,808 to $86,360.
The most reliability, in this process, is obtained from the comp
sale needing the fewest adjustments.
The comp at 841 Kennaston is therefore judged to be the most
indicative of value for the subject @$86,360. The mean sales
ratio of the 3 comp sales is 94%. By equalizing the $86,360 @ 94�,
an indicated market value for the subject is $81,200.
The Assessor's office recommends a reduction in the 1989 estimated
market value as originally submitted from $84,100 to �8i.2o0_

Our office recorded the sale of 3 double bungalow-duplex properties

These building are physically inferior to the subject. The sales
were used, in this case, only to estabish a"gross rent
multiplier" . A GRM is a method used to convert the gross annual
rent of a rental property into an indication of value. The
following GRMs have been developed for the above sales.

We were also able to develop GRMs from the data provided us by Mr.
Thornton, as follows:
212 - 42nd St. N.E.
681 - 51st St. N.E.

7.42
Disregarding the GRMs indicated by the last two sales, the mean GRM
of Fridley sales is 7.03. Including the GRMs of the last two
sales, a mean GRM of 7.14 is indicated. Inasmuch as GRMs are
sensitive to market area, it is better to recognize the results of
sales in Fridley. Therefore, applying the GRM of 7.03 is proper
in this case.
The subject property produces rents of $700 and $725 per month, for
a gross annual income of $17,100. Applying the GRM of 7.03 X
$17,100 produces an indicated market value of 5120.213.
In the absence of sales of physiscally similar property, the GRM
method is typically employed. This property was purchased by the
current owner in September 1984 for $115,000.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of our office to
reduce the 1989 EMV from $130,300 to 5120,200.

A review of this property was made on April 12, 1989 by this
office. A review of the land values in this neighborhood was made
and four properties including this one have been adjusted downward.
Also the quality of construction had been overstated in the past,
on the structure, and has now been corrected. The Assessor's office
recommends a reduction in the 1989 Estimated Market Value as
originally submitted from $125,800 to .$114,300.
Burlington-Northern leased land
James Dowds Land Area 63,292 sq. ft.
Our 1989 EMV = $99,700
PIN #34-30-24-42-0013
This is a parcel located between the Burlington-Northern yard
parking lot at approximately 41st and East River Road, and the old
Dunkley Blacktop plant, now owned by Mr. Dowds. It is indicated
on the accompanying map as the cross-hatched area. The dashed
outline area is the parcels owned outright by Mr. Dowds and the
Fridley Auto Salvage operation.
Mr. Dowds leases the subject parcel from Burlington-Northern for
$8000 per year plus, he pays the real estate taxes. A common
method of valuing a lease is to capitalize the net income by a
capitalization rate derived from market sales of similar land and
leases. In Fridley we do not have access to any other railroad
land lease data of similar parcels. We have interviewed other
local assessors and have found a general consensus that proper cap
rates would be 8- 10�.
Capitalizing the $8000 rent at 8� equals $100,000 indicated value,
and using 10�, would yield a$80,000 value. Mr. Dowds has pointed
out that the lease is only for 6 month periods, which reduces its
face value. This is probably true.
Another approach we can take, in estimating the value of this
unique situation, is to use the method used by the State Department
of Revenue in valuing the rest of the railroad operating property.
They establish an acreage value simply by dividing all of the land
values in the entire city by the total acres in the city. For the
1989 railroad operating land value, the State will be using
approximately $1.00 per square foot. This is based on information
obtained from Mr. Wayne Gerwing of the Department of Revenue. This
would indicate a value of 563,300 for the subject if it were only
used as railroad operating land.
As can be seen, due to the lack of specific sales data, the
evaluation of this type of situation becomes highly subjective.
Therefore, a fair solution would be to blend both the application
of the 10� conservative cap rate to the $8000 net rent, and the
value that would be applied by the State as purely railroad
operating land.
Our recommendation is to reduce the 1989 EMV, as submitted, from
$99,700 to 571.600.

An inspection of the property was made by this office on April 11,
1989. The basement finishing was found to be torn up due to
electrical, plumbing and heating repairs being made. The
assessor's office recommends a reduction in the 1989 estimated
market value as originally submitted from $94,800 to Ss6.5oo.

Purchased by current owner May 1987 for $151,000.
This a very unique building. There are no comparable sales in
Fridley or immediate surrounding areas. The owner obtained the
attached letter from Dave Ryan, a reputable realtor in Fridley,
expressing an opinion of value of $151,000. In the case of such
unique properties, where there is an acute lack of sales data, we
are willing to accept the opinion of a reputable realtor in the
local market.
The Assessor recommends a reduction in the 1989 value, as submitted
from $161,200 to 5151,000.

To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. & Mrs. Wanamaker at 265 Stoney Brook Way have requested
that I give an opinion on the value of the home purchased
two (2) years ago for $151,000.00.
I told r.hem that I see no evidence of any real appreciation

Walter Mulcahy, of our office, made a physical review of this home
April 14, 1989. He found no unusual condition in the property that
would suggest that our current data is inaccurate.
Based on the three comparable sale properties, listed above, it
would appear that our value of $77,100 is well within acceptable
ranges. Sale comp #1 is considered to be the most comparable to
the subject. The adjusted value indication is $84,100. That would
put the sales ratio of the subject at 91.6�. The Assessor's office
recommends affirmation of the EMV at $77,100.
