Jim Rivers, 1440 Shoreline Drive, 11- 117 -23 -22 -0004, -0005, -0006, -0007, -0010 <br />Jensen stated that Chris Bennett, who made the assessment, had revalued the properties <br />and made the following recommendations to change his original 2001 EMV: <br />11- 117 -23 -22 -0004 <br />$214,000 <br />reduce to <br />$164,000 <br />11- 117 -23 -22 -0005 <br />$275,000 <br />reduce to <br />$235,000 <br />11- 117 -23 -22 -0006 <br />$290,000 <br />reduce to <br />$225,000 <br />11- 117 -23 -22 -0007 <br />$474,000 <br />reduce to <br />$375,000 <br />11- 117 -23 -22 -0010 <br />$1,000 <br />no change <br />$1,000 <br />Bennett stated that substantial increases were made to marina assessments throughout the <br />lake, ranging from 15% to 103 %, mainly because of the sale of the Lakeside Marina, <br />which sold for just under $30,000 per slip. Most marinas were assessed at about $10,000 <br />per slip. He recommended reducing the assessment because he had slightly <br />overestimated the slip size and value of one house on the property. Bennett stated he <br />reduced the assessment in an effort to be conservative because he only had the one recent <br />marina sale on which to base marina value. <br />Rivers argued that the land is being maximized by its current usage, because of the <br />zoning, which is different on either side of Shoreline Drive, he stated that Hennepin <br />County does not understand the zoning of the property and the resulting restrictions on its <br />use. He also stated that the marina's business does not support the current appraisal and <br />
