(See Attached) HEARINGS Paul W. Palmer 1524 Larson Lake Road Chimacum, W A 98325 BOE: 94-01-LO PN: 801 151 008 Paul W. and Rachel Palmer were present. Jack Westerman and Will Butterfield were present on behalf of the Assessor's office. Chairman James A. DeLeo explained the hearing process and swore them in. Mr. Palmer stated that he is concerned about the newly adopted Critical Areas Ordinance and how it will limit the use of his property. He is especially concerned about the wetland restrictions, although he has not talked to a County Planning Department representative regarding the specific wetlands issues on his property. He does not have plans for development. Mr. Palmer added that he has paid taxes for "highest and best use" on the property since 1956, although he uses the land for farming and timber production only. He and his wife have chosen not to file for an "open space" designation because of the penalties and taxes that would be levied if the land is developed in the future. Jack Westerman explained that he talked with the Palmers in 1991 about the option of filing for an "open space" designation that would reduce their taxes. Without that designation, even though the land is used for farming and timber, it will have to be assessed at "fair market value", Mr. Westerman added that the Critical Areas Ordinance has not been in place long enough for their office to gather data on how it will effect the market value of property in the County. After hearing the testimony of both parties the Board concurred that they would conduct an inspection of the property and make a determination at a later date. Richard K. Call 1910 Walnut Street Port Townsend, W A 98368 BOE: 94-02-R PN: 985 210 101 Richard Call was present. Robert Kingsley was present on behalf of the Assessor's office. Chairman James A. DeLeo explained the hearing process and swore them in. Mr. Call stated that low income rental housing, constructed in his neighborhood, has decreased his property value. There are six houses already built and two more are planned. These houses weren't built at the time of the Assessor's last valuation. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 17, 1994 Page 3 Mr. Kingsley stated that there are no recent sales in the area to indicate if property values have decreased because of the addition of low income housing. After hearing the testimony of both parties the Board concurred that they would conduct an inspection of the property and make a determination at a later date. Arthur & Leah Grossman 5471 N.E. 200th Place Seattle, W A 98115 BOE: 94-03-R PN: 965300 026 Arthur Grossman was present. Robert Kingsley and Jack Westerman were present on behalf of the Assessor's office. Chairman James A. DeLeo explained the hearing process and swore them in. Mr. Grossman stated that he received an assessment of $190,675 just after he purchased the property in August, 1993 for $172,500. For comparison, he used examples of units at Kala Point that were built in 1989 and have more square feet and a two car garage. His unit is almost 400 square feet smaller, with a one car garage and was built in 1982. He presented three sales of the larger units in the last two years. These units sold for $80,000-$100,000 more than his. Mr. Kingsley said that Mr. Grossman's unit may be over-assessed if he only paid $172,500. He added that Mr. Grossman did not talk to the Assessor's Office before the hearing to see if they could come to an agreement. After hearing the testimony of both parties the Board concurred that they would conduct an inspection of the property and make a determination at a later date. Kenneth R. Alexander 317 S.W. 177th Street Seattle, WA 98166 BOE: 94-07-LO PN: 950 100 708 Kenneth Alexander was present. Robert Kingsley and Jack Westerman were present on behalf of the Assessor's office. Chairman James A. DeLeo explained the hearing process and swore them in. Mr. Alexander stated that his lot is a wetland. When he bought the property several years ago, he planned to fill it in so that he could build or park an RV there. It is Mr. Alexander's understanding that the regulations regarding wetlands have changed and he would not be able to fill it in. He has not had representatives from the County Planning Department out to evaluate the property. Jack Westerman explained that the lot next to Mr. Alexander's has been filled in. It sold in December, 1993 for $25,000. He said that Mr. Alexander's lot is assessed at about 15% of that selling price because it is not buildable. Member Bill Marlow asked if the lot is completely covered with water? Mr. Alexander said that it is at high tide. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING MINUTES.
