He stated it is valued at the same price as City sewer and water <br />lots. His entire property valuation is at $92,500. <br /> <br />Jan Gallagher, Assessor, found three lots to compare Mr. Borchard's lot with that also do <br />not have City sewer and water. <br /> <br />Mr. Borchard added that he is not disputing the value of his home, only the land. He <br />noted that his land is valued at $29,500. <br /> <br />Upon inquiry, Ms. Gallagher responded that Mr. Borchard's lot is nearly one acre in size. <br /> <br />Mr. Borchard presented some comparables - 14963 Nowthen Boulevard - 1.23 acres - <br />land is valued at $29.800; and 14150 Krypton - nearly one acre with City sewer and <br />water - land is valued at $26,000. He added that there are two-acre lots on his street that <br />could possibly be split should City services become available and the way his home is <br />laid out on his lot, it would be impossible for him to split and sell. He felt that should <br />also be taken into consideration. He added that he is having to pay taxes on the same <br />valuation of land as someone with City sewer and water and he has to maintain a well <br />and septic. <br /> <br />Board of Review/April 14, 1999 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
