increase in other properties in the area were in the same range with the exception of two parcels where
construction had been done. The assessor also presented pictures of comparable property sales to the
Council which supported the value placed on the parcel.
BRUCE THIELEN MOVED TO ACCEPT THE VALUATION ON 155-080-007090 AS SET BY THE
ASSESSOR. BRIAN STUMPF SECONDED THE MOTION.
The property owner stated that the home sales in the neighborhood averaged $178,000 and there were four
sales over $200,000. He noted that the comparable sales specified by the assessor were not in the area.
He felt the homes in his area were lower in value. Greg Kramber concurred that this was probably the
most expensive house in the area but also noted that even though there were properties valued at $150,000
there were interspersed in the area properties valued at $180,000 and higher.
