The property sales presented by the appellant were comparable, however, the houses constructed on them were generally oflesser value than the appellant's house.

Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. (See also minutes of August 16, 2005) Wayne A. Peck, Sr. 281 South Beach Drive Port Ludlow, W A 98365 BOE: 05-02-LO 05-03-LO PN: 950101001 950 201 002 After carefully reviewing all the information presented by both parties and conducting a physical inspection of the property, the Board determined that the value of parcel 950 101 001 represents its true and fair market value. Evidence was shown that this parcel is considered a wetland causing it to be subject to buffers and setbacks which eliminate the possibility of development. However, it does have a certain usage value because it is cleared and contains a small storage shed. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation $3,000 for parcel 950 101 001 (land only). Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. (See also minutes of August 15, 2005) ~oard of Equalization Minutes - AU2ust 24, 2005 Pa2e 3 ~ With regard to parcel 950 201 002 the Board determined that due to documented wetland issues, this parcel has marginal utility and would have little value as a buffer to other properties. Due to its location and the fact that portions of it are very wet, no physical use could occur. Furthermore, due to required buffers and setbacks, current rules would not allow any alteration to the parcel. Based on a sale of presumably similar unusable property in the area, the Board feels a reduction in value is necessary to reflect the true and fair market value of this parcel. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to overrule the Assessor's valuation of$3,000 for parcel 950 201 002 (land only) and reduce it to $1,000. Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. (See also minutes of August 15,2005) R. W. & Kathleen Bradford P.O. Box 1167 Port Townsend, W A 98368 BOE: 05-06-LO PN: 801 322 008 After carefully reviewing all the information presented by both parties and conducting a physical inspection of the property, the Board determined that the transaction to acquire the property in the amount of$37,500 does not represent the true market value of this parcel. By law, property must be valued at 100% of its fair market value. If placed for sale on the "open market", this parcel could sell for the current assessed value. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of$57,81O (land only). Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of$1,016,400 ($426,500 for the land and $589,900 for the improvements).
