Orono City Council <br />City Assessor <br />Orono City Hall <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />April 21, 1998 <br />Dear Council Members, <br />We hereby appeal the 1991 valuation of our home at 1020 Tonkawa Rd., <br />Orono, MN. We also request a hearing date to present our information and <br />objections. <br />In the 8 yrs. that we have lived in Orono we have seen our taxes increase <br />exceptionally. While not happy with the overall rates of increase over the <br />years, especially against increasing budget surpluses, we have never filed an <br />objection. This year, unfortunately, we must object. We believe our valuation <br />is unfair and excessive; by at least $122,000.00 and perhaps as much as <br />$172,000.00 <br />The new construction in the neighborhood in recent years has been of a <br />more expensive and larger size category of homes than what we built 8 years <br />ago. Further, other comparable properties in the neighborhood have not risen <br />nearly as quickly as ours in recent years. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Doug & Margo Williams
