FROM 01/04/95): Warren Lasell, Assessor, explained the petition, as submitted, includes Schedule#146731005019 and#146731000021 for the years of 1992 and 1993. He advised the first parcel is land only and the requested abatement is $389.79 for each year, which he is recommending for denial. He stated no evidence has been presented to reflect a different value. Mr. Lasell said Schedule #146731000021 does include improvements and the petitioner is requesting an abatement of$6,089.15 for 1992 and $3,114.26 for 1993. Mr. Lasell stated this parcel was protested in 1993 and the 1994 value was lowered to $39,630; therefore, he recommends lowering the 1992 value to the same amount, for an abatement of$3,702.64. He explained that because of the earlier protest, the 1993 value cannot be abated by petition. Francis Longnecker, Attorney representing the property owner, presented a copy of a petition for abatement approved in 1994 for Skies Unlimited Inc. of Colorado and a map showing the location of each parcel, marked Exhibits A and B, respectively. He stated the earlier petition was approved, with 80 percent of the value being abated to make the property consistent with surrounding property. Commissioner Harbert indicated the prior petition was approved because the property was located in the "clear zone" at the end of the runway, as defined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Mr. Longnecker stated it also affected a large portion of the first parcel mentioned above. He stated Schedule #1476731000021 was vandalized, which lowers the value. Commissioner Harbert stated that vandalism, in and of itself, is not a good reason to allow an abatement since steps can sometimes be taken to avoid the vandalism. Mr. Longnecker clarified for Commissioner Baxter that both the parcels under consideration are outside the FAA"clear zone." In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Longnecker stated his only evidence is the prior petition which was abated on an adjacent property. Clarifying for Chairman Hall, Mr. Longnecker reiterated all the property in the area was assessed by the same individual, other parcels have been reduced in value, and the one mentioned above was reduced by 80 percent. Commissioner Kirkmeyer reiterated Mr. Lasell is recommending the value be lowered to $39,630 for the year 1992 in order to be consistent with 1993. Mr. Barker clarified the schedule numbers for the record. Commissioner Harbert moved to deny the petition for abatement for Schedule #146731005019 for the years 1992 and 1993 based upon Mr. Lasell's Minutes - January 9, 1995 950032 Page 2 BC0016 recommendation. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Baxter, carried unanimously. Commissioner Harbert moved to deny the petition for Schedule#146731000021 for the year 1993 and to abate taxes in the amount of$3,702.64 for the year 1992, as recommended by Mr. Lasell. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. NEW: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM ROBERT H. MARKLEY AND COMPANY AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Mr. Lasell explained his recommendation for abatement for $3,742.32 is concerning the 1993 year, which is figured on the same base period as when an adjustment was approved for 1994; however, no data was presented for the year 1992; therefore, he recommends denial. The taxpayer was neither present nor represented.
