Built in 2005 specifically for Daycare use. There is not sufficient sales data for Sales Comparison Approach. You used an Income Approach which I would argue a couple small points. We have a current lease on a daycare in Windsor at $11.08. I also would argue the expense ratio of 10% as we use 8% (5% for mgmt. and 3% for reserves). Using these revised figures I come to a total value of $1,091,109. I would be willing to reduce the value to this amount. WE CAN AGREE TO THIS PROPOSED VALUE of $1,091,109. 2. R3944705 — Retail / Office building at 4681 20°' Street, Greeley, CO. Built in 2005, 17,053 sf, and located on main arterial (47th Ave). We have record of 2 tenants in this building (Cottonwood Florist has 3,550 sf rented at $19.44 / nnn and College Green Liquors has 7,950 sf at $12.08 / nnn. Your Income analysis used $8.00 nnn. Even if the remaining tenants were as low as $8, the 2 above leases would more than support our current value. I would ask for either a Withdrawal or Administrative Denial on this one. WE CAN DO AN ADMINISTRATIVE DENIAL FOR THIS ONE. 3. R4578207 — combination Convenience Store and McDonald's Restaurant valued at $212 psf. Eve attached a couple sales showing these sell for up to $500+ psf. You used an income analysis using $12nnn for the c -store and $18nnn for the McDonald's. We have leases of National Brand fast food from $22-49 nnn. The Income Approach is certainly the best approach from an Investment standpoint. We have the policy of valuing c -stores and fast food at Cost, which accounts for any business interest / blue sky in market transactions. We have this valued at Cost at $212 psi I would ask for a Withdrawal or Admin Denial on this one as well. WE CAN DO AN ADMINISTRATIVE DENIAL FOR THIS ONE. Thanks for your time and please respond as soon as possible.

The Board informed me today that our hearings are scheduled for August 4, so we've got a little time. We've got hearings Monday and Tuesday of next week. We'll touch base on Wednesday. Thanks.

Typically agents who file at the deadline are willing to file Administrative Denial at the CB0E level, particularly for those who are out of State and cannot be present at the hearing. This allow us to fully analyze the appeal and potentially reach a settlement, as well as preserving your right to file on the State Board of Assessment Appeals. Are you willing to do this on the 8 appeals you have filed? If not, I will need by the end of day Friday: Income and expenses for 83915405, R3944705, and R4578207.

If you disagree with the Assessor's decision, you have the right to appeal to the County Board of Equalization for further consideration, § 39-8-106(1)(a), C.R.S. The deadline for filing real property appeals is July 15. The Assessor establishes property values. The local taxing authorities (county, school district, city, fire protection, and other special districts) set mill levies. The mill levy requested by each taxing authority is based on a projected budget and the property tax revenue required to adequately fund the services it provides to its taxpayers. The local taxing authorities hold budget hearings in the fail. If you are concerned about mill levies, we recommend that you attend these budget hearings. Please refer to last year's tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of the local taxing authorities. Please refer to the reverse side of this notice for additional information.

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, 2016, 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 obtain the data supporting the Assessor's valuation of your property, please submit a written request directly to the Assessor's Office by fax (970) 304-6433, or if you have questions, call (970) 353-3845. Upon receipt of your written 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.
