June 9, 1983
Minutes of the Board of Review meeting of the City of Apple Valley, Dakota County,
Minnesota, held June 9, 1983, at 7:00 o'clock p.m. at the City Hall.
PRESENT: Mayor Overgard, Councilmembers Branning (attended at 7:08 p.m.), Holton,
Humphrey and Savanick (attended at 7:11 p.m.); Deputy Clerk Mueller,
ABSENT: None.
Mayor Overgard called the Board of Review meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Bill
Peterson, of the Dakota County Assessor's Office, was present and explained the
purpose of this annual meeting is to review estimated market values of property
in the City, as determined by the County Assessor, for 1983.
Mr. Peterson said residential property in the City valued up to $30,000 received
a 20 percent increase, property valued between $30,000 and $40,000 received a 10
percent increase and property valued over $40,000 was not increased. The values
of townhouses and condominiums were increased five percent. They believe the
estimated market values in the City are between 85 and 90 percent of actual value.
Mr. Peterson, and other members of the Assessor's staff, then reviewed the property
records with individuals present. (Councilmembers Branning and Savanick attended
during this time.)
The Board received two letters from Raymond Fischer, dated June 9, 1983, appealing
the proposed 1983 valuations on parcel number 01-03500-010-75 and lots in Apple
Valley Industrial Park 1st, 2nd and 3rd Additions. The Assessor's Office will be
reviewing this property.
Cornelius Biemond, 144 Chaparral Drive, was present and said he believes his property
should be devalued because it abuts Interstate 35E, the traffic noise is offensive
and a high fence has been installed along his property. Mr. Peterson said they can
only base the value on actual sales studies, but they could do an analysis of the
entire neighborhood and try to determine if the freeway has reflected on the values
of the homes. Mr. Biemond said that would be satisfactory.
Councilmember Savanick suggested that a similar study should be done of the homes
along County Road 42. Mr. Peterson said they would consider it. He also said
they will be doing door-to-door revaluing in the City beginning in February.
MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Humphrey, to close the meeting. Ayes - 5 -
Nays - 0.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 o'clock p.m.
