Board of Appeal and Equalization Minutes <br />April 9, 2018 <br />Page 2 <br />Ms. Thoe explained she believes the increase may be due to strong water front <br />property sales in Elk River. She stated due to the strong sales all lake and <br />riverfront properties were reviewed and received an additional increase above the <br />9% all of Elk River received. She noted there were overrides in the system she <br />removed this year but cannot see the details without access to the property's <br />history. <br />Councilmember Westgaard questioned if the increase was due to the two <br />property values being combined and therefore added together. <br />Mr. Olson indicated he suspects the increase is on the Lakeshore property. He <br />stated he would be comfortable with reducing the lakeshore value by 10% <br />($2,944). <br />Ms. Stritesky noted their property value increased 34% over two years. <br />Mr. Stritesky commented he has no issue paying property taxes but has an issue <br />paying such high taxes on such a small property and house. He added he had an <br />appraisal done last year that came in at $168,000. <br />Moved by Councilmember Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Olsen <br />to adjust the value of parcel 75-132-4100 from $209,200 to $200,000 ($3,000 <br />off the lakeshote property with the remainder off the house). Motion <br />carried 4-0. <br />Moved by Councihnember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br />Ovall to make no change to parcel 75-413-0112. Motion carried 4-0. <br />2. Allina Health, Parcel Identification Number 75-661-0105 <br />Mr. Weber stated he received an email from Allina Health requesting the Board <br />consider no change to parcel 75-661-0105 as they would like to reserve their <br />right to appeal to the County Board. <br />Moved by Councilmember Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Olsen <br />to make no change to parcel 75-661-0105. Motion carried 4-0. <br />3. Walter and Nancy Ullrich, Parcel Identification Number 75-671-0430 <br />Ms. Thoe distributed a handout on the above parcel. <br />Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br />Olsen to adjust parcel 75-671-0430 from $434,800 to $415,200 as <br />recommended by the county assessor.
