CASE #3: BOB MUELLER <br /> <br />Address: 6001 167th Avenue N.W., Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />Plat 90410, Parcel 0720, TCV 66 and Plat 90410, Parcel 0730, TCV 66 <br /> <br />(Councilwoman Van Wagner arrives: 8:05 p.m.) <br /> <br />~. Mueller's main concern is the tax amount he is paying. He is paying <br />as a commercial business and says something has to be done about the commercial <br />tax rate. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox stated the Marshall Swift approach to value may not be right <br />approach because we don't have that many old properties to compare for <br />valuation; most of our property is new construction. There are not adequate <br />comparables to use for one of the approaches to value. <br />Council Action: None at this time. (See minutes for motion made later in <br />regard to this matter). <br /> <br />CASE #4: A. GROSSLEIN <br /> <br />Address: 13554 Tungsten Street, Ramsey, Minnesota <br />Plat 89329, Parcel 4360 - New Building <br />Plat 89329, Parcel 1520 - Old Building <br /> <br />55303 <br /> <br />Mr. Grosslein came before the Council and stated the valuation of his <br />warehouse is too high. If someone were to purchase this warehouse they <br />wouldn't pay that price for it. He discussed valuation and the commercial <br />tax rate with the Council and stated something has to be done about it <br />or Ramsey won't have any businesses that can afford to stay here. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Reimann to leave <br />valuation the same as last year; reduce the $638,800.00 valued parcel <br />4.3%; the other building leave the same as last year based on the following: <br />1. No market comparables available in our community, 2. Valuation far <br />exceeds building costs, 3. A buyer wouldn't pay market value if purchased <br />at present time. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilman Cox, Councilman <br />Sorteberg, Councilman Reimann and Councilwoman Van Wagner. Voting no: None. <br /> <br />CASE #5: TONY FLORES <br /> <br />Address: 6302 169th Lane N.W. <br />Plat 90415, Parcel 0300 <br />Mr. Flores came before the Council and stated the value of his lot was too <br />high at $7,000. Last year it was valued at $1,600. Mr. Wirz stated the <br />valuation couldn't be raised to a realistic value due to the three year <br />development freeze on valuation and that it is now a realistic value. <br />Assessor Starkey stated the homestead qualification should be looked into <br />on this parcel and Mr. Flores could check with the County on this matter. <br />Council Action: None. <br /> <br />BoR/May 14, 1981 <br /> 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
