Board of Appeal and Equalization Minutes Page 2 <br /> April 13,2015 <br /> 2. Denis Dahl, Parcel Identification Number 75-681-0310 <br /> Mr. Dahl indicated he disagrees with the increase of his home's market value to <br /> $318,000. He stated the market value for taxes payable in 2015 is $287,000 and <br /> requested his value remain at that amount for taxes payable in 2016. He noted he <br /> emailed Ms. Botzek comparable sales reflecting values well under $300,000. Ms. <br /> Botzek distributed a copy of the comparable sales Mr. Dahl provided. <br /> Ms. Botzek explained during a reassessment of Mr. Dahl's neighborhood, <br /> corrections to square footage and other home details were made increasing the <br /> home's value. In addition, she stated that the entire neighborhood received the <br /> standard increase for Elk River. Ms. Botzek recommended no change. <br /> Ms. Botzek added neighborhoods, including Mr. Dahl's, hit hard with foreclosures <br /> back when the economy was bad a few years ago,were given a 10% reduction. She <br /> explained this reduction stayed intact for a number of years and was recently <br /> removed when the neighborhood began showing comparable sales to other areas. <br /> Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Wagner to make no <br /> change to parcel 75-681-0310. Motion carried 4-0. <br /> 3.

Ronald Karlstad, Parcel Identification Number 75-667-0140 <br /> Mr. Karlstad indicated his market value increased substantially in the last couple of <br /> years and he would like it reduced.
