the lot is in the non-perc category. The Chair asked for a decision
of the Board:
VICE-CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS MOVED TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT VALUATION
OF THIS NON-PERC LOT ON THE BASIS OF FAIR AND TRUE VALUE OF $14,000.00
WITH A 50% DEDUCTION OF THIS VALUE BECAUSE OF NON-PERCABILITY.
THE ASSESSED VALUATION WOULD BE SUSTAINED AT $7,000.00.

PETITIONER: CARL E. ESCENE
On the morning of August 15, 1988 the Board made an on-site inspection
of this property and also reviewed the comparab1es. The Chair
entertained a Motion as to the Board's findings:
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. MOVED TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT
VALUATION BASED ON THE REVIEW OF COMPARABLES ON WHICH ADJUSTMENTS FOR
DIFFERENCES WERE MADE, AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE GARAGE WAS
CONSTRUCTED BUT NOT CONSIDERED IN THE 1984 RE-VALUATION BY THE
ASSESSOR. HE MOVED THAT THE ASSESSOR'S VALUE OF $29,925.00 ON THIS
IMPROVEMENT BE SUSTAINED (THE LAND VALUE OF $15,000.00 WAS NOT BEING
PETITIONED) ALONG WITH THE $15,000.00 LAND VALUE FOR THE TOTAL
SUSTAINED VALUATION OF $44,925.00.

fact that the valuation increased when the sales in the area appeared
to show a decrease in valuation. He also questioned the comparables
presented by the Assessor in the Hearing. Chairman Dalgleish noted
that there were small trees and some brush on this property but it
still had an excellent view of the Bay. The Chair requested the
Board's decision on this property:
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. MOVED TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT
VALUATION BASED ON THE SIMILARITIES TO THE COMPARABLES, AND IN FACT,
SOME BETTER FEATURES THAN THE MAIN COMPARABLE. HE MOVED THAT THE
VALUATION OF $45,000.00 BE SUSTAINED.
VICE-CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS SECONDED THE MOTION.
THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
BOE-88-029-R Parcel Number: 001-024-033
PETITIONER: JOHN SCOTT
The on-site inspection of this lot and its comparables was conducted
at 1:45 p.m. on August 17, 1988. This property was rented. Under the
circumstances the Board did not request the renters to allow them to
make an inspection of the interior of the house. The Chair asked for
a decision of the Board:
VICE-CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS FELT THAT BASED ON THE ASSESSOR'S
TESTIMONY AT THE HEARING, THE ORIGINAL TRUE AND FAIR VALUE OF THIS
BUILDING WAS BASED ON $47,650.00, LESS 35%. HAVING NOTED THE
INCREASED DEPRECIATION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH ARE MAINTAINED BY AN
ABSENTEE OWNER WHO IS CURRENTLY IN CALIFORNIA, HE MOVED THAT THE
DEPRECIATION VALUE BE INCREASED TO 50% BY THE BOARD. THIS WOULD
ESTABLISH THE IMPROVEMENTS AT $23,815.00 AND SUSTAIN THE LAND VALUE AT
$5,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE A TOTAL VALUATION OF $28,815.00.
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. SECONDED THE MOTION.
THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

PETITIONER: FLORENCE E. DUNN
The on-site inspection of this residence and its comparables at Kala
Point was conducted at 2:20 p.m. on August 10, 1988.
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. STATED THAT AFTER EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS
OF THE MARKET, AND AS REFLECTED BY SALES OF COMPARABLES, AND
CONSIDERING VALUES OF IDENTICAL PROPERTIES ON THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS, HE
BELIEVES THIS RESEARCH REQUIRES THAT THE VALUATION ON THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY REMAIN THE SAME. HE MOVED THAT THE LAND BE SUSTAINED AT
$24,000.00 AND THE IMPROVEMENTS AT $109,000.00 FOR A TOTAL VALUATION
OF $133,000.00.
VICE-CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS SECONDED THE MOTION.
THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

The on-site inspection of this property and its comparables was

findings of the Board and their decision:
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. STATED THAT AS A RESULT OF THE ON-
SITE INSPECTION AND THE DELIBERATIONS CONCERNING THIS PROPERTY HE FELT
THAT THE INFORMATION INDICATED THAT THE PROPERTY VALUATION WAS IN LINE
WITH ASSESSED VALUATIONS ON ADJOINING PROPERTIES. HE FOUND THAT IT
WAS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH VALUATIONS OF COMPARABLE SALES. HE MOVED TO
SUSTAIN THE VALUATION OF $18,000.00 ON THE IMPROVED LAND AND
$29,770.00 FOR THE RESIDENCE FOR A TOTAL SUSTAINED VALUATION OF
$47,770.00.

non-perc lot. Because the Assessor knew that this lot had been denied
a septic permit the valuation of $17,000.00 was reduced by SO% for a
total valuation of $8,SOO.00. This valuation being consistent with
the policy followed by the Assessor on non-perc lots the Chair
requested a decision from the Board:
MEMBER ARCHIE BARBER, JR. STATED THAT IN ADDITION TO THE PRIOR
STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN, THIS UNIMPROVED LOT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY
REDUCED BY 34% FOR A NON-PERC PETITION. THE ASSESSOR ADJUSTED IT
AGAIN TO MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH COMPARABLE LOTS BY REDUCING THE
VALUATION SO%. HE MOVED TO SUSTAIN THE CURRENT VALUATION.
VICE-CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS SECONDED THE MOTION.
THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
