DETERMINATIONS
Kah Tai Medical Investors, LLC
c/o S C & H Group, LLC
910 Ridgebrook Road
Sparks, MD 21152
BOE: 07-15-C
PN: 948817101
After careful consideration of the information submitted by both parties, the Board determined that the
method of valuation (income approach) presented by the appellant may not reflect the true and fair market
value. State law requires property be valued at its "highest and best" use. The Board feels that the
method used by the Assessor's office to value the property more closely reflects "highest and best" use
and therefore, represents true and fair market value.
Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of$2,925,125 ($929,900 for the land
and $1,995,225 for the improvements). Chairman Marlow seconded the motion. The motion carried.

ROE: 07-14-R
PN: 802 252 025
The Board carefully considered the information submitted by both parties and conducted a physical
inspection of the property. It was noted that the Assessor's staff offered a 50% reduction offthe
improvement value due to the "unfinished" condition of the house. The Board concurred that even though
the appellant rejected the offer, they feel it is fair and agreed to reduce the improvement value by 50%..
Vice-Chairman Broders moved to overrule the Assessor's valuation for the improvements only and reduce
it from $74,460 to $37,230 for a new total property valuation of $11 0,430. Chairman Marlow seconded
the motion. The motion carried. (See also minutes of August 29, 2007)

Quilcene, W A 98376
BOE: 07-01-R
PN: 802 264 011
The Board carefully considered the information submitted by both parties and conducted a physical
inspection of the property. It was agreed that the appellants did not provide clear, cogent and convincing
evidence to show that the Assessor's valuation (which is less than the appellant's 2001 purchase price) is
not correct. Therefore, the Board is compelled to uphold the current assessed value.
Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of$179,020 ($92,500 for the land and
$86,520 for the improvements). Chairman Marlow seconded the motion. The motion carried. (See also
