Sessions Weld County Assessor 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Schedule No. RO6434286 - Vacant Land - (the "Property") Gentlemen: The undersigned, Sterling Property Tax Specialists, Inc., represents the owner of the Property for purposes of filing an abatement for the calendar years 2003 and 2004. A copy of the Letter of Authorization is attached hereto. The Property is a parcel of land containing approximately 8.92 acres. The assessor has valued this land at $7,500 per acre for 2003 and 2004. However, Petitioner does not believe the assessor has taken into account the limited use, or marketability relating to this parcel. The Property is an extremely narrow parcel intersected through the Property by a Public Service right-of-way. It is located in Unincorporated Weld County, with the majority portion of the Property situated adjacent to the sewer plant (see map attached as Exhibit A). Also attached as Exhibit B is the 2005 Notice of Adjustment valuing this parcel at $803, or $90 per acre. Based upon the limited usage for the Property, Petitioner contends that this Property should only have a nominal value of$90 per acre as established for 2005. Based upon the foregoing, Petitioner hereby requests the assessor adjust the value of the Property to $803. All information contained herein should be considered confidential and not available to any third parties. Respectfully submitted, STERLING PROPERTY TAX SPECIALISTS, INC. By: Barry J.
