TO PRESERVE YOUR APPEAL RIGHTS, YOU MUST PROVE YOU HAVE FILED A TIMELY APPEAL; THEREFORE, WE RECOMMEND ALL CORRESPONDENCE BE MAILED WITH PROOF OF MAILING. PETITION TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION In the space below, please explain why you disagree with the Assessor's valuation. IN ACCORDANCE WITH 39- 8-106(1.5), C.R.S., YOU MUST STATE YOUR OPINION OF VALUE IN TERMS OF A SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT. Attach additional documents as necessary. Any increase in property value has been negated, if not decreased, due to the rezoning of Firestone annexed land across the street. In 1996, a coiluercial plant (AFT) was built. Into our quiet country aluusphere has cone 24 hour-a-Hay, 7 days-a-week commercial operation, high power lights and the acconpanying noise and traffic pollution. No matter where you are on our property, you have the sight of the plant by day, the lights by night and noise continuously. We feel our taxes should remain at $145, 785 because this plant has hurt our resale value tremendously.

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. GRABOWSKI JAMES A& LAURENE M - R5407386 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. Please advise me if you decide not to keep your appointment as scheduled. If you need any additional information, please call me at your convenience. Very truly yours, BOA OF EQUALIZATIONkia �7 Donald D. Warden, Clerk to the Board /� BY: 74iJ..ar—Yi.�� Ades' Carol A. Harding � Deputy Clerk to the Board cc: Warren Lasell, Assessor Hello
