Box 758 Greeley, CO 80631 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL ALSO SUBIVIITTED AT www+co.weld.ca.ors/apps1 cboe Re: PETITION TO COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION, ACCOUNT NO. R0086087 - RHR , LLP Dear Board of Equalization: On behalf of RRRS, R3, LLP, our office previously submitted a written appeal (the "Original Appeal") of the 2019 Real Property Notice of Valuation (the "Notice of Valuation") for the above -referenced account, relating to real property located at 10763 Turner Boulevard, Longmont, CO 80504 (the "Property). Following the Appeal, our office received the Weld County Assessor's Notice of Determination (the "NOD"). This letter and its attachments shall serve as the Petition to the Weld County Board of Equalization (the "Board") to appeal the assessor's after -review valuation in the NOD of $1,468,080 (the "NOD Value"). For the reasons argued in this Petition, the NOD Value represents a significant overestimation of the value of the property, which we believe should be valued at $983,666. We have included the following documents with this Petition: 1. COMPARABLE SALES IN REGION. A list of comparable sales near the Property of properties with similar uses as the Property, showing an average price per acre of $ 543,462, indicating a value for the Property in the $933,666. 2. SCHEDULE OF LEASES. A summary of current leases related to the Property, and breakdown of net lease income for the Property, showing that the anticipated income for the Property as consistent with a property valued in the $950,000 - $1,000,000 range. 3. HISTORICAL TAX VALUATION. A history of the increases in the tax valuations for the Property over the last six years, showing the proposed value in Paragraph 3 above as consistent with the historical increase in value for the Property. 4. PROPOSED VALUATION, A specific breakdown of our proposed valuation. The NOD Value, while a decrease from the original assessor's valuation proposed in the Notice of Valuation, still represents a 35% increase in value from the actual value from the years prior, $956,176 LYONS GADDIS KAHN HALL JEFFERS DWORAK & GRANT, PC 515 Kimbark Street 2nd Floor PO Box 978 Longmont, CO 80502-0976 Longmont 303 776 9900 I Louisville 720 726 3670 I www.lyonsgaddis.com LYONS GADDIS ATTORNEYS & COUNSELORS July 15, 2019 Page 2 (the "Prior Value"). Such an increase is not supportable by recent sales of comparable properties or applicable business financials for the entity owning the Property. In our Comparable Sales in Region document, we have summarized, by tax account, the four most comparable nearby sales in the region to analyze the approximate cost per acre of properties similar to the Property. All four properties are between US -66 and Highway 119 on or just off l-25, and all have similar uses to the Property. Three of the properties were previously submitted with the Original Appeal. However, a fourth, R8943100, was not included in the Original Appeal, and involves a property directly neighboring the Property to the east, also showing a cost per acre in line with our prior analysis. As our table shows, averaging the sales, all of which occurred from 2017 to 2018, suggests a cost per acre in the region for similar properties of $ 543,462, and indicates a valuation of the Property of $983,666. It is worth noting, however, that if we exclude 2017 sales and only include 2018 sales, the indicated value of the Property, $1,052,245, is still over $400,000 below the current assessor's value, $1,488,080. Moreover, as is clear from the income attributable to the Property over the last few years, which would indicate a value between $950,000 - $1,000,000 using a capitalization rate of 8%, which is generous for a property of this type, if the Property were to be sold today, our client could not expect to sell for anything near the NOD Value. Our proposed value of $ 983,666 is in line with the historic increases in tax valuation for the Property. While properties in the area have generally increased over the last two years, the increase has been in line with historic figures. For the reasons stated above, we respectfully appeal and request reconsideration of the value of the Property. Sincerely, LYONS CADDIS KAHN HALL JEFFERS DWORAK & GRANT, PC By: . Sean M.

Enclosed with this letter are the following: 1. Valuation Analysis of 10763 Turner Boulevard. 2. List of Comparable Sales. 3. Historic Tax Valuation. 4. Schedule of Leases and Net Lease Income. 5. Three year of income reports for the property. 6. Agent Authorization Letter. The current year actual value as set forth in the Weld County Assessor 2019 Real Property Notice of Valuation grossly overvalues the real estate located at 10763 Turner Boulevard. As you can see from the comparable sales, as well as the lease analysis, the property is more appropriately valued at somewhere between $042,000 and $086,000. The property owner is proposing a 2019 valuation of $986,667. This is based upon the comparable sale information provided with this protest. As you consider this letter and the enclosed information, please note the following. The property is a specialty use building with limited access. The attached comparable sales report identifies seven properties in the region that have sold since February of 2017. One of those properties, a cement plant, is excluded from the calculation as non -comparable. Three of those properties, a greenhouse, warehouse and convenience store are excluded as they are more retail -oriented LYONS GADDIS KAHN HALL JEFFERS DWORAK & GRANT, PC 515 Kimbark Street 2nd Floor PO Box 978 Longmont, CO 80502-0978 363 Centennial Parkway Suite 110 Louisville CO 80027 303 776 9900 I 303 776 9100 720 726 3670 www.Ivonsgaddis.com gt LYONS GA ATTORNEYS & COUNSELORS Weld County Assessor May 24, 2019 Page 2 operations with superior access to transportation and to 1-25. The remaining three comparable sales are similar to this parcel and have been used to calculate the comp sale value of $986,566. Looking at this property from the rental perspective, the lease schedule demonstrates a three- year average annual income from rentals of $208,205 and annual operating expenses of $127,814. This leaves net lease income of $75,892. Using a cap rate of 8%, fairly generous for a property of this type, the value based upon the income approach is $942,896. Although property values in the region may have generally increased, this particular parcel was grossly overvalued in the 2019 process and on behalf of the property owner, we are hereby protesting that value and proposing instead that the 2019 valuation be set at $986,567. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Cameron A.

This hearing will be held at the Weld County Administration Building, Assembly Room, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. You have a right to attend this hearing and present evidence in support of your petition. The Weld County Assessor or his designee will be present. The Board will make its decision on the basis of the record made at the aforementioned 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, 2019, and mailed to you within five (5) business days. Because of the volume of cases before the Board of Equalization, most cases shall be limited to 10 minutes. 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. If you wish to discuss your value with the Assessor's Office, please call them at (970) 400-3650. If you wish to obtain the data supporting the Assessor's valuation of your property, please submit a written request to assessor@weldgov.com. Upon receipt ofyourwritten request, the Assessor will notify you of the estimated cost of providing such information. Payment must be made prior to the Assessor providing such information, at which time the Assessor will make the data available within three (3) working days, subject to any confidentiality requirements. 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.
