BUSINESS: NEW: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM GS SUPER FOODS AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Warren Lasell, Assessor, stated the "Best Information Available" appraisal listed on said property was not removed after the property owner turned in his declaration schedule, thereby causing a double assessment.

The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Harbert, carried unanimously. CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM BIGFOOT TURF FARMS AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Mr. Lasell stated this petition was appealed and adjusted in 1996, therefore, it cannot be submitted for abatement this year. He stated the petition for abatement hinges on the classification of said property, noting Mary Huddleston, Colorado Property Tax Administrator, has indicated throughout Colorado operations of this sort are classified entirely as agricultural. Mr. Lasell requested the Board deny this petition, and state he will make sure the classification is properly assigned for the next appraisal period. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, explained a property for which the basis of appeal is overvaluation and which was appealed in 1996 cannot now be abated; however, he noted this appears to be under question because of the classification, not the value. Responding to Commissioner Harbert, Mr. Lasell stated this may or may not be correctly classified as commercial, he cannot determine without staffs reappraisal. Responding to Commissioners Hall and Webster, Mr. Lasell recommended the Board deny this petition and stated he will verify the classification prior to the next appraisal period. Mr. Barker reiterated, if the reason for the abatement is overvaluation and the property was appealed in 1996, it cannot be abated; however, this petition for abatement is requested on the basis of a misclassification and should be considered. Mr. Minutes, January 27, 1997 970130 Page 2 BC0016 Lasell then stated that, based on Mr. Barker's statements, he would recommend this abatement for approval, and he will look at the classification prior to the next appraisal.
