He indicated his home <br /> value increased from $108,900 in 2014 to $209,200 for 2018. He explained the <br /> property had two parcel identification numbers and one legal description when <br /> he purchased it so he worked with the county to combine the parcels. He also <br /> purchased a small piece of property on the corner from the neighbor and would <br /> Eke that parcel combined as well (parcel 75-413-0112). Mr. Olson noted he is not <br /> an expert but he doesn't believe platted parcels (75-413-0112) can be combined <br /> with non-platted parcels (75-132-4100). He noted the house and the lakeshore <br /> parcel across the street are both unplatted. <br /> Mr. Stritesky believes the large increase in his value may be due to the <br /> combination of the house parcel with the lakeshore parcel. He noted he has <br /> completed about$23,000 in improvements over about four years. <br />
