Most of the 18 parcels under appeal are small lots with the exception of one parcel (#802 024 001) which consists of approximately 65 acres. The Board agreed that the appellant did not provide enough evidence to show that the assessor's valuation of parcel #802 024 00 I is incorrect. Vice Chairman Broders moved to sustain the assessed value of$169,330 for parcel #802 024 001 (BOE06-43-LO). Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The value of parcel #995400041 appears to be inconsistent with the value of the neighboring parcels. This parcel is subject to same severe development constraints as the other parcels within the plat and should be reduced in value to reflect those constraints and be more in line with the valuations of the other parcels. The Board agreed that the assessed value of the remaining parcels adequately takes into account the severe development constraints. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to overrule the Assessor and reduce the value of parcel #995 400 041 (BOE06-56-LO) from $20,230 to $7,500. Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the assessed value of the remaining parcels as follows. Valuations Sustained (16 Parcels): Parcel number 995 400 040 - $15,000 Parcel number 995 400 025 - $15,000 Parcel number 995 400 049 - $15,000 Parcel number 995 400 035 - $15,000 Parcel number 995400027 - $7,500 Parcel number 995400026 - $7,500 Parcel number 995400024 - $7,500 Parcel number 995 400 043 - $9,375 Parcel number 995 400 056 - $15,000 Parcel number 995400054 - $15,000 Parcel number 995400 113 - $7,500 Parcel number 995400 114 - $7,500 Parcel number 995400034 - $9,375 Parcel number 995 400 039 - $9,375 Parcel number 995400038 - $9,375 Parcel number 995400036 - $9,375 Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
