W. Thomas Wheeler <br />1160 Tonkawa Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />January 17, 1990 <br />HAND DELIVERED <br />HAND DELIVERED <br />City Assessor <br />1335 Brown Road South <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br />Orono Board of Review <br />Orono Council Chambers <br />1335 Brown Road South <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br />Property ID No. 08-117-23-13-0007 <br />1990 Estimated Market Value $449,800 <br />Gentlemen: <br />We hereby appeal the valuation of the above described property. <br />We are unfortunately unable to attend the entire April 17, 1990 Orono <br />Board of Review proceeding in person. However, please note our appeal. <br />The assessor has determined an alleged 21.4Z increase plus a 26.7Z <br />increase plus a 6.23Z Increase in market value of this property over 30 <br />months. This caused an alleged 63.5Z increase in market value of the <br />property over the past thirty months, as follows: <br />Value As Of Increase Resulting Tax <br />Dollars Percent <br />275,100 1/2/87 6,799 <br />334,200 1/2/88 59,100 21.40 8,622 <br />(In August 1988 we bought this house) <br />423,400 1/2/89 89,200 26.69 10,439 <br />449,800 1/2/90 26,400 6.23 God knows <br />The above three consecutive Increases are disproportionate to other <br />property value increases in the area. <br />The increases unfairly discriminate against this particular property <br />merely because it has been sold twice in the past three years. Other <br />properties on our road of equal or greater square feet and acreage, lake <br />frontage and value did not receive similar Increases by the assessor <br />merely because those other properties have not been sold recently. <br />Properties owned by new residents are singled our unfairly as easy <br />targets for the assessor.
