Peter Borman, 157 River Edge Way
Pat Maghrak,
Sr. Appraiser, said he met with Mr. Peter Borman, and reviewed the land and
characteristics of his property. He looked at comparable properties to make sure adjustments
were justified or supported. Mr. Borman’s property is located at 157 River Edge Way and the
neighbor at 152 to the south of Mr. Borman’s property was $8,800 higher. Staff recommends to
move 157 River Edge Way to the equal value of his neighbor at 152 River Edge Way.
Peter Borman
, 157 River Edge Way, said staff providing comparable property values made a
difference and the initial contact was helpful.
Mayor Lund
said it is difficult when there is a significant increase in your home value. Based
on the area, it was unfair for the neighbors that are on the interior lots and yours to be valued the
same as their property. The interior should be at a lower value
Mr. Borman
was wondering why there was a $55,000 increase and the lot value doubled. There
has not been a line item for land value in the past and this year there is. He had no idea what his
lot was valued at in the past. It is hard when your property backs up to the park and there are
people walking through your yard to access the park.
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcom to reduce the value of PIN # 15-30-24-43-0055 at 157
River Edge Way to $331,500. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
