My property itself is in dire need of up -grades such as painting, finishing an unfinished basement, installing sprinkler system and new heating system and water heater which are both as old as the house itself, but I cannot justify the expense to complete these repairs and up -grades due to the fact the propertu is surrounded by rundown little stick built shacks on slab floors whose mostly rental residents are allowed to accumulate mounds of trash, allow their dogs to bark all night and turn their lawn areas ino parking lots. In the past few years this neighborhood has had a huge increase in neighbor verses neighbor squabbles, late night gun fire, shootings, assualts, drug dealing and other crimes. Any potential home buyer who could qualify for a $98543.00 home loan as the County Assessor contends my property is worth would undoubt- edly find a home of far better value than this property in a far better neighborhood surrounded by homes of equal value. Please view photographs included with this appeal of some of our immediate nest door property then ask yourself if you would pay $98543.00 for this house or any house in this neighborhood. Thank you for your fair and understanding consideration of this tough issue.

BOX 758 GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 Parcel No.: 096106307010 PIN No.: R2948586 The Weld County Board of Equalization has set a date of Tuesday, July 29, 1997, at or about the hour of 3:30 p.m., to hold a hearing on your valuation for assessment. 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. WHIPPLE CLAUDE E & LORENE E - R2948586 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.
