Mrs. Setterlund noted that her valuation went up over $12,000 this year and has gone up every year for the past several. She noted that she is on a fixed income as she is 80 years old and finds this increase excessive. Mayor Grabek asked Rita to revisit the property to re- evaluate the situation. 22. Gordy Lundman, 4435 North Shore Drive - PID #07- 117 -23 34 0004. Mr. Erickson will be in contact. 23. Charles Schoen, 2430 North Shore Drive - PID #09- 117 -23 41 0006 and 09- 117 -23 41 0008. Mr. Schoen noted that his valuation went up 20% this year which seems excessive. He also noted that the wooded acreage near his home has always been homesteaded and this year it is non - homestead. Mr. Erickson will check on the situation on this property. 24. Mari Everson, 4755 North Shore Drive - PID #07- 117 -23 32 • 0021. Ms. Everson noted that their property has increased in value 25% and feels that it should have gone down if anything due to the extensive storm damage done to their property in July 1987. She also stated that she feels, based on her interpretation of State Statutes, that land valuations should at least start at the purchase price and from there go up as necessary. Mr. Erickson stated that that is not what the law states and indicated he would revisit their property. 25. Chris Lindstrom, 1065 Ferndale Road West - PID #02- 117 -23 43 0021. Ms. Lindstrom stated that she would like to check on surrounding property values and had gone into City Hall but could only get 1988 value. She wanted to know how she could get what she wanted. Mr. Erickson stated that until the roll has gone to Hennepin County it is not public information. He also noted that when people call his office, they will be given 5 property values. Mr. Wilde stated that he had tried to reach her but her phone was out of order. Ms. Lindstrom noted that their land values are escalating at a high rate and realizes that this has to do with the State Legislature and will be pursuing it further with them. She noted that she saw some properties in the tax book where the land was valued at $300,000 and the house at $1,000; it is an instance of negative valuation on the building, yet the valuation keeps going up because of the • land. Ms. Lindstrom stated there is no need to revisit her property, her problem is with the State of Minnesota.
