Most importantly you have stated that the basis of value is made on real estate sales on like property, I believe you are basing the value on new properties and not properties of the same age. Age is not being considered in your evaluation. My property is 99 years old and therefore it does not have the modern convinces added in new construction. Examples being: attached garage, master bath, walk-in closets, cathedral ceilings, etc.... With a property of this age some people would be very interested if it had lead glass windows, period wood work and other historical features, but it does not. What I do have is a home that is 4" inches higher on the south than on the north a detail we discovered when we moved in and tried to put a water bed in the north bedroom. We have a furnace in the basement whose manufacturer went out of business 50 years ago. Also there is a dirt room attached with a fuel tank in it. The basement ceilings are less than six feet tall where the duct work runs. Most important is the new addition made in the 70's, during the heart of the energy crises, they did not add heat to that addition thinking a fireplace would be adequate for the times that they would use these rooms. All of these features are not very attractive sales points. A strong supporting fact would be the conversation I had with the real estate agent who sold the property to us. I told him that we wanted to sell if this was an accurate value, (when else has real estate value doubled in less than 9 years. ) Unfortunately he explained that a property like ours would be lucky to sell at $150,000.00 it would take just the right buyer to make that price let alone $217,279.00 as you have stated. What real estate agent would turn down the opportunity to sell a $200,000.00 property! In addition I would like to add that you raised the value of this property by $52,498.00 in 1995 and an additional $73,253.00 this year when no improvements have been made is inconceivable.

This hearing will be held at the Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado, in the First Floor Hearing Room. A number of hearings have been scheduled at this time; peitioners will be asked to sign in with the Clerk upon arrival, and cases will be heard on a first come / first heard basis. You have a right to attend this hearing and present evidence to the Board in support of your petition. The Weld County Assessor or his representative will be present. The Board will make its decision on the basis of the record made at said hearing, as well as your petition, so it would be in your interest to have a representative present. If you plan to be represented by an agent or an attorney at your hearing, prior to the hearing you shall provide, in writing to the Clerk to the Board's Office, an authorization for the agent or attorney to represent you. If you do not choose to attend this hearing, a decision will still be made by the Board by the close of business on August 5, 1997, and mailed to you on or before August 10, 1997. Because of the volume of cases before the Board of Equalization, all cases shall be limited to 15 minutes, of which you will be allowed 10 minutes for your presentation. Also due to volume, cases cannot be rescheduled. It is imperative that you provide evidence to support your position. This may include evidence that similar homes in your area are valued less than yours or you are being assessed on improvements you do not have. Please note: The fact that your valuation has increased cannot be your sole basis of appeal. Without documented evidence as indicated above, the Board will have no choice but to deny your appeal. HUGHES WANDA RUTH & DONNA J & DALE R - R0130388 Page 2 At least two (2) working days prior to your hearing the Assessor will have available, at your request, the data supporting his valuation of your property.
