BOULTER, AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Martha Kindsfather, Deputy Assessor, stated the Assessor recommends denial of this abatement. After discussion regarding the fact that only three Board members are present, the Board concurred to proceed and reviewed a letter from Scott Realty Company on behalf of the petitioner. Dave Schildmeier, Assessor's Office, presented and reviewed for the Board comparable sale and income-producing information. He stated, based on his explanation of the information, that the property is fairly valued at $160,000.00, and answered questions from the Board. Bob Boulter, representing his wife Susan Boulter, requested the Board consider said abatement and noted the sales ratio comparisons are not appropriate because the subject building is very unique and must stand alone. He noted the downtown Greeley businesses are not highly marketable and suggested the income of the building be reviewed closely. Mr. Boulter stated the economic possibilities of the area have decreased and reiterated the appraisal should take into account the income-producing possibility. Ken Harpring, Scott Realty Company, referenced his letter and stated the building had been marketed for years and had been leased from February 1994, through May 1996, for $550.00 per month, which did not support the property. He reiterated the A-Frame building is unique, and it took a certain type of client to purchase it. Mr. Schildmeier stated he had no further comments and confirmed the sale price was $150,000.00, which would be an adjustment of approximately 6.25 percent. Commissioner Webster stated since the actual sale was in 1996 for$150,000.00, he believes that is the market value. Therefore, Commissioner Webster moved to set the property value at $150,000.00, with the tax abatement amount to be re-figured based on said value, and authorize the Chair to sign. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Harbert, and Commissioner Webster confirmed the building had been adequately marketed for three months at that price. The motion then carried unanimously.
