Broden MINUTES October 17, 2007 William S. Marlow Richard A. Broders James A. DeLeo Chairman Vice-Chairman Member Chairman William S. Marlow called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. in the presence of Vice-Chairman Richard A. Broders and Member James A. DeLeo. DETERMINATIONS Marc Mauney & Lynne Rogerson 2133 Oak Ray Road Port Hadlock, W A 98339 BOE: 07-35-R PN: 921182012 After considering all the information submitted by both parties, the Board concurred that the Assessor's valuation represents fair market value of this parcel. While the appellant contends that there should be a reduction given for the "stigma" associated with this property being located in a geological land slide hazard area, there was no market evidence presented specifically on that issue. Furthermore, since the house was constructed based on the recommendations from a geological study, the Board finds no reduction for this issue is warranted. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of $1,036, 740 ($609,940 for the land and $426,800 for the improvements). Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. (See also minutes of September 27,2007) Sidney & Maureen Poole 33 Twinsview Court Port Ludlow, W A 98365 BOE: 07-37-R PN: 969800014 The Board considered all the information submitted by both parties. The sales of comparable properties indicate the value of this parcel is fair and equitable. The Assessor's office has given a 10% reduction in the land value for the lack of view and steepness ofthe driveway. Without specific evidence showing these issues have a further negative impact on the market value of this parcel, the Board feels that the adjustment adequately addresses those issues and finds the amount of reduction is reasonable and fair.

Box 521 Chimacum, W A 98325 BOE: 07-38-R PN: 990603 111 After considering all the information submitted by both parties, the Board concurred to reduce the improvement value by 15% for economic obsolescence due to the condition, size and age of the house.

It was agreed that the usable land area of this parcel is limited, however, other nearby parcels that are situated in front of the salt marsh are also limited in use. Even though a portion of the property is restricted, it does add value, and that value is found to be reasonable and fair.

Bay Way Port Ludlow, W A 98365 BOE: 07-40-R PN: 976800010 The Board considered all the information submitted by both parties. It was noted that the Assessor's staff has already reduced the value of the back lots by 80% due to the septic system restraining the use of the property. The Board agreed that the percentage of reduction is adequate and that the current valuation is fair based on their necessary usage as area for the septic systemldrainfield. Vice-Chairman Broders moved to sustain the Assessor's valuation of$52l,745 ($364,800 for the land and $156,945 for the improvements).
