After reviewing the properties we refigured based on our Judgments of that day and based on the 1994 schedules. Our suggestions are as follows. Sincerely, 12,71, eV Rnadal L. DesMarais Assistant Wright County Assessor RLD/ga Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer Bill & Vicki Olson 8789 Nashua Ave. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 PID #118-500-202101 Pete and Randy reviewed the property on April 28, 1994 with Mr. Olson. Basically we found a cellar area not a basement area. After making the adjustments, we suggest reducing the estimated market by $3,100. Land Buildings Before $ 24,600 33,200 1994 After Land Buildings $ 24,600 30,100 $ 57,800 $ 54,700 Earl C. & Ruth Cook 14427 89th St. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 Re: PID #118-026-002150 Pete and Randy reviewed the property on April 28, 1994 with Mr. Cook. We rechecked our numbers and feel the estimated market value for 1994 assessment of $82,300 to be reasonable. No change is suggested for the 1994 assessment. Elva J. Crow 14030 82nd St. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 PID #118-037-001070 Pete and Randy reviewed the property with Ms. Crow and her daughter on April 28, 1994. We remeasured the home and found an error. The home was assessed as a 28 x 60 = 1,680 sq . ft. when it actually measured 26 x 56 = 1,456 sq . ft. making a d i fferenoe of 224 sq. ft. We also found there to be central air oonditioning which was not assessed. After making the above mentioned adjustments, we suggest a reduction of $5,900. Before Land $ 20,000 Buildings 43,400 Total Estimated Value 1994 After Land Buildings $ 20,000 37,500 $ 63,400 $ 57,500 Kevin J. & Linda M. Wolf 8331 Needham Ave. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 PID #118-035-001060 Pete and Randy reviewed the property on April 28, 1994 with Mrs. Wolf. We found the house as being assessed as 1,152 sq. ft. when In fact It Is 1,248 sq . ft. It was not measured Incorrectly but calculated incorrectly. We also found an 8 x 24 lean on the garage which was not assessed. The lot Is and has been somewhat under water for much of the year. The home has had some leakage and does not appear to be a good quality home. After refiguring the buildings and adjusting the land value, we suggest a reduction of the 1994 estimated market value of $7,600. Before 1994 After Land $ 20,000 Land $ 15,000 Buildings 30,700 Buildings 28,100 Total Estimated Value $ 50,700 $ 43,100 Pete has suggested he review for 1995 assessment some other lots In the area that may have a water problem. Randy & Brook Thoreson 14377 87th St. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 PID #118-031-001120 Pete and Randy drove by the Thoreson property on April 28, 1994. After having Ken Yager of the County office who does the valuation of mobile homes within the mobile home parks calculate the book value, basically gave a range on the mobile from fair condition $4,200 to average condition of $6,000. Ken agrees the mobile setting on a piece of property adds from $2,500 to $4,000 as opposed to setting In a park. Our suggestion Is to value the mobile at $8,000. Also the Board moved to reduce the garage by $1 .00 per square foot. After making the above adjustments, the reduction would be $1,400. Land Buildings Total Estimated Market Value Before $ 20,000 19,200 1994 After Land $ 20,000 Buildings 17,800 $ 39,200 $ 37,800 The decking and utility shed did not change. Duane D.

Before Land $ 20,000 Buildings 66,200 Total Estimated Market Value 1994 After Land $ 20,000 Buildings 63,500 $ 86,200 $ 83,500 Morley & Vivian Brechlin 14576 84th St. N.E. Elk River, MN 55330 PID #118-033-001090 Pete and Randy drove by the Brechlin property on April 28, 1994. We both feel the Brechlins got a good purchase. Randy did check the CRV and it appears to be correct per what the bank seems to give for information. The property sold in 1991 for $42,000. The sheriff's certificate on May 21, 1994 shows $19,950 and shows Brechlins purchasing for $9,900 on March 15, 1993. Our suggestion Is no change in the 1994 estimated market value.
