City Council directed Mr. Keefe to make a physical inspection of Mr. Hendrickx' property (10-32-25-41-0006). Catherine Daly Hayft - 5160 177th Avenue N.W. - PIN 01-32-25-42-0003 - Stated that her property valuation in 1988 was $84,000; in 1989 it was $87,200; in 1990 it is at $111,700. Catherine stated that no improvements have been made to the property; she does not consider herself a river location because she is 650 feet away from the river;, her access to the river is across her neighbor's property because her river frontage is in the floodway; her property is also being affected by Oak wilt. Mr. Keefe stated that he computed Catherine Hayft's property based on $35,000 for a building site and added an additional $250/acre for the 8 additional acres; the $250/acre represents a wet market value. Mr. Keefe stated that he does not make adjustments for Oak wilt. Mayor Reimann stated that Oak wilt is a major problem in Anoka County and just as treed lots are valued higher, those lots affected by tree diseases should have adjustments made to valuations. Mr. Keefe stated that because of the wet acreage, he did not increase the value of Catherine Hayft's property because of the trees. Mr. Keefe stated that he has researched and $35,000 for a basic building site on the river is in line with the surrounding area and communities. Catherine Hayft stated that other lots in her area area assessed at $19,300. Mr. Keefe indicated that he did make a mistake on the lots to which Catherine Hayft referred; they should have been included in Zone i but were placed in Zone 8. Catherine's brothers, Kenneth Daly and Donald Daly, were also present to protest their property valuations (PIN's 01-32-25-42-0001 and 01-32-25-42-0002 respectively). Catherine and her brothers presented excepts from flood zone maps which indicated how much of their property is in the flood plain. City Council directed John Keefe and Gordy Starkey to reinspect the properties of Catherine Daly Hayft, Donald Daly and Kenneth Daly (PIN's 01-32-25-42-0003, 01-32-25- 42-0002, 01-32-25-42-0001). Joe Nyara - 5320 155th Lane N.W. - PIN 24-32-25-21-0027 - Stated that his property valuation increased from $78,400 to $95,500; since 1986, it has increased $32,800. Joe Nyara stated that he doesn't believe his home is worth $95,000 because he doesn't have public utilities and natural gas. Mr. Keefe replied that Mr. Nyara's residence was in the physical inspection area and nobody responded to his request for an inspection appointment. Therefore, he assigned an arbitrary assessment but he is willing to schedule an inspection and make any necessary adjustments. Mr. Keefe did note that Mr. Nyara's property is in Zone 3 and the average lots sale in that area was $20,000; Mr. Nyara's land value was at $7,000 and that is substantially below market. City Council directed Mr. Keefe to schedule an appointment with Mr. Nyara to reinspect PIN 24-32-25-21-0027. Board of Review/April 4, 1990 Page 3 of 9
