The meeting was called to order by Cha'irmarl Dalgleish, Board members were
present ,-- pougl as, Barber and Cl erk ..
BE-85-63 (Parcel 9890713-702): The Board inspected this parcel in 09-24-85. The
finding of this inpection was that recent sales of adjacent properties of comparable
size and improvements set values at $10,000 for land and $1,000 for improvements;
therefore, this valuation of land on this parcel should be reduced from $24,000
to $22,DOO Appreciation of value of the building between 1981 and 1985 at
5%/year would justify an $81,780 valuation at this time. The Board moved to adjust
the total valuation of this parcel at $103,780.
BE-85-65-LO (Parcel 953-700-320) At 3:07 P.M. on 09-03-85 the Board inspected this
parcel with particular COncern as to the location and directions printed on a sign
at the base of the cliff approximately 10 feet above the mean high water line. It
is clear from paragraph #3 of the Jefferson County Current Use Tax Assessment for
Open Space No. 5-80 of July 28th, 1980, that the land "is available for public
access for recreational 'purposes." It was our conclusion that the intent of this
agreement is not attained due to the following factors:
The ap~ellant modified the direction of Paragraph #3 of the agreement to add a
second paragraph to the sign specificaly excl uding access to "the abutting tidelands
on beach lying to the west and south west of the base of the cliff~ The 40-50 foot
cliff excludes access t6-~6TTFie-zmr~open space-aboveU-e--cliff and this last
paragraph excludes access to the 5% of beach area between the base of the cliff and
this mean high water line. The Board therefore SUSTAINS the action of the County
Commissioners to remove the Open Space Agreement on December 31, 1984 and SUSTAIN
, the Assessors current valuation of $76,200 in this parcel, by unanimous decision.
BE-85-67-LO (Parcel 002-273-023) The Board inspected this parcel on 09-05-85 and
found it to be an excellent low-bank, level lot on Discovery Bay. Investigation of
the history of valuation adjustments since the 1983 revaluation indicate the
initial valuation of $76,500 less 30% for lack of lot depth less 50% for non-perk
to a net of $26,750. The Board SUSTAINS this current valuation.
BE-85-68-LO (Parcel 942-901-307) The Board inspected this parcel on 09-18-85 and
found it to be occupied primarily with the channel for the Chimacum Creek with
little practical use and with Shoreline Management restrictions to preclude
much change. The Board moved to SUSTAIN the current valuation at $4,000 consistant
with valuations of lots in the adjacent area up-stream.
BE-85-69-R (Parcel 943-600-010) The Board inspected this parcel and the Assessors
comparables on 9-11-85. It was found that this parcel was commensurate with the
comparables; and, therefore,the Board moved to SUSTAIN the land value of $12,500
and to reduce the building value down from $65,830 to $59,500 for a total valuation
of $72,000. -
BE-85-71LO (Parcel 953-700-323) The Board inspected this and the other two
lots in the ORME Short Plat. on 09-03-85. These lots are on a high-bank bluff
with a view of Kilsut Harbor. The valuation of its land should be reduced from
$51,650 to $41,000 in recognition of recent sales and equilization of values in
the lots in this short plat. Board Approved
BE-85-121-LO (Parcel 953-700-322) In recognition of the equilation adjustment
to Lot No.2 in the ORME Plat (BE-85-71-LO) above, the Board also moved to
adjust the land valuation of Lot No.1. from $58,690 to $45,500.
