requested amount, and further stated the cost approach used by the agent did not account for paving,
fencing, or lighting, and only allowed $.60 per square foot,while$1.50 per square foot is more in line with
sales in the neighborhood. He stated using the income approach the value as recommended by the
Assessor follows the typical market for parking recreational vehicles, although it may be a little high. Mr.
Sampson stated the agent is unwavering, and has no desire to settle for an in-between amount. Mr.
Sampson stated the property recently sold for $1.95 million. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr.
Sampson stated the infrastructure is in place. Responding to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Sampson stated
