We feel this is a rather arbitrary decision on the Counties part! You must have some method to gauge the economic devaluation the landfill has on our farm. The trash battle alone devalues the sale value of our farm. We have attempted to outline in previous correspondence what impact the landfill has on operations . Ajoining farms should have revenue sharing the same as oil and gas allocations. Something should be done. We hope you will review our situation at your earliest convenience.

Our lecation has not changed nor has the problems of trash (irrigation) , inconvenience and environmental effect changed. Failing to adjust the economic depreciation effect on our agriculture land makes it necessary to request a special appraisal . Under the circumstances it is our right to receive either an adjustment or special appraisal . We again ask for your sensitivity to having to work and live under the shadows of a landfill which is also located in a very windy area. Thanking you in advance for your consideration. Very truly yours . Susanne Stephens June 3, 1989 Richard W. Keirnes Weld County Assessor 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Subject: Protest of property values Schedule # 095931000007 R 2739686 105705000034 R 4383586 095932000008 R 2739986 The value of the property scheduled above has been over appraised during past tax assessments and we would appricate a review of same and an appropriate adjustment. This property boarders on three sides with the "County Landfill". Not only has the quality of living on this property been effected by the "landfill" the marketability of the property for agriculture has been reduced as well. The operational problems caused by trash in the irrigation ditches, fields and ponds reduces the value over farms not effected by a "landfill". Based on the depreciation of value caused by the "landfill" which is under the control of Weld County we request the assessments be ad— justed accordingly. Our suggested adjustments are as follows: Schedule Number Type of Property P Y Current Yr Requested V; 1. 095931000007 R 2739686 Agriculture land 25253 12500 2. 105705000034 R 4383586 Farm Residence 120603 65000 Farm Support Bldgs 13494 8000 Agriculture land 13644 10000 • 3 095932000008 R 2739986 Agriculture land 68 68 When reviewing this request, please consider how anyone would feel living next to a "landfill" and who would buy land next to a "landfill"? We would appreciate your sensitivity to our unique problem and reduce our tax assessments in fairness to the problem. Thanking you in advance for your consideration.
