Myron Lewerenz, 7009 - 175th Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated he has been arguing about his <br /> increase in property valuation. He added that his taxes have doubled in the last two years. <br /> <br /> Upon inquiry, Mr. Lewerenz responded that he has 35.79 acres - to which Ms. Gallagher added <br /> that 10 :res are tillable, one acre is woods, 19.79 is marshland and four acres are wetland. That <br /> is not inU:~ding the one acre his home is on. . <br /> <br /> Ms. Gallagher reported that she met with Mr. Lewerenz and she did adjust his valuation on his <br /> home - quite a considerable deduction - from $131,000 to $114,400. She noted that this property <br /> has been taken off of green acres which makes quite a difference. <br /> <br /> Jannie Brock, 15240 Kangaroo Street NW, Ramsey, stated that if the valuation is supposed to be <br /> based on what you may be able to sell your home for, she would sell immediately for that <br /> amount. Her valuation was at $82,300 in 1997. In 1998 the valuation went up to $92,100 and <br /> now it increased to $96,200. She felt she could never sell her home for that. Her home was built <br /> in 1975, and there have been no improvements made to it. She suggested improvements are <br /> needed and that there was some damage done to her home in the July 1997 storm, including <br /> some downed trees. She pointed out that she has been disabled for 15 years and is unable to <br /> make the improvements physically and financially. <br /> <br /> Ms. Gallagher assured her that she would come out to review the property and also offered to <br /> research some agencies that may be of assistance to Ms. Brock. She (Gallagher) will report back <br /> when the Board of Review reconvenes. <br /> <br /> ~CESS <br /> <br /> Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to recess the <br /> Board of Review meeting. <br /> <br /> Motion carried.
