Bachman stated he is the owner and operator of Bachman Floral and Garden Center store at 770 Prairie Center Dr. He wants to comment and hopes these comments will be taken further to the City Council regarding the upcoming closure of the east bound 212 offramp providing access to Prairie Center Drive. Bachman states this is affecting their business and several others. The posted signs indicate a date of April 10th.

He would have preferred that the ramp closed in September. Moquist expressed appreciation for speaking on behalf of businesses and residents. Bachman asked that his comments get to the Council, he will follow up with the highway people as well. Moquist commented this may not be the proper venue to address his concerns and wished him well. Appeal A11 – Andrea Ostrom – 8010 Island Rd– PID 17-116-22-24-0042 Ostrom thanked Oldefendt for the review of her property but feels the value remains high, primarily based on information from realtors. The house was also appraised for estate purposes in June 2021, for $1,008,000. She has received a substantial increase in her assessment over the last two years. The realtor’s estimates were between $1,150,000 and $1,200,000. Ostrom states only homes on the west side of BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MINUTES April 5, 2023 Page 3 the lake have sold over $1,000,000. She bought this house October 2016 following foreclosure for $880,000 and the property needed significant work. Some brick and window repair and maintenance was completed, but the property still needs work. She feels it is worth $1,200,000. Nate Thompson asked Oldefendt about the condition of the property. Oldefendt stated the master bath was remodeled, and the kitchen remodel was prior to the current owner. Oldefendt took any updating and work needed into consideration for his review. Moquist commented on comparable property sales. It was clarified that half of the roof was repaired, and some brick work was done. There was discussion of the neighborhood and price point on the east side of Mitchell Lake. A current listing in the neighborhood has been on the market for 35 days at $785,000. There was discussion of the quality of Mitchell Lake, Tessmann stated that this is a limited horsepower lake. The Board discussed sales on George Moran and Red Rock Lake well over $1,000,000. Moquist commented on comparisons to the Boulder Pointe neighborhood being superior. Moquist stated that $1,200,000 is a fair amount. Ostrum commented on the different type of neighborhood leading to her house. Nate Thompson stated its worth $1,200,000 being a unique property. Tessmann commented George Moran is probably the best comparable sale. Tessman stated the homes on Mason Pointe are newer and more customized, leading to a different feel for the neighborhood. Tessmann feels the value is between $1,200,000, $1,250,000, and $1,400,000 is high. Moquist commented the owner’s request on the appeal application is $1,160,000 which may be low. MOTION: Tessmann moved, seconded by Werdel on Appeal No. A11, PID 17- 116-22-24-0042, to reduce the value from $1,424,700 to $1,200,000. Motion carried 5-0. Appeal A25 – Shoney Sivan – 10005 Gentian Dr – PID 28-116-22-43-0027 Sivan stated that Jon Thompson explained how he came up with the value well, but feels the market is shifting. He has a townhouse which lacks a usable back yard. He stated that prices in the market went up 17% last year, and not as much this year. Sivan commented that houses in the neighborhood are sitting on the market for longer periods, and feels the value should be reduced due to the current market. He purchased his home in 2016. The roof had hail damage in 2020 and was replaced. Sivan stated the appliances are old and flooring is original. Nate Thompson asked who did the property inspection and Jon Thompson replied he completed the inspection.

There is ceramic tile flooring in the bathrooms, laminate flooring through the main level, vinyl floor in the laundry BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MINUTES April 5, 2023 Page 4 room entry. The property has been well maintained, kitchen has granite countertops and ceramic tile backsplash. Moquist commented on Sivan’s statements regarding the market, and opined that the market has slowed its rate of acceleration, previous year increase was doubled and was a shock to the system. Moquist also commented supply and demand ratios remain out of whack, and it is a seller’s market being that there are more buyers than sellers and prices have held steady. Sivan made note of his refinance appraisal from 2020. Moquist clarified Sivan’s assessed value is $433,500, and Sivan is requesting $390,000. Sivan confirmed. Hoffman stated that there are five sales in the subject’s neighborhood ranging from $425,000 to $462,500, indicating a very tight range. They vary a little in size, but Sivan’s property is bracketed, the assessed value is on the low end of the comps. There was additional discussion on the comparable sales in the development.

Akhtar stated his concern is the property has increased over the last couple of years. He is on Mitchell Lake. Moquist asked Jon Thompson what the normal course of action. Jon Thompson stated that the review process starts with a property inspection so that we can make proper comparisons. The Assessor’s recommendation without an inspection completed would be to sustain the assessed value. Eden Prairie Assessing staff can continue to work with the owner to schedule the inspection and review the property prior to the County Board meeting. Mr. Akhtar states that nothing has changed in the property. Assessing staff will contact owner for inspection and discuss informally before the Hennepin County Board meeting in June. Akhtar was informed a letter will be mailed with instructions on next steps. MOTION: Tessmann moved, seconded by Moquist, on Appeal No. 60, PID 18- 116-22-11-0090, to affirm the value. Motion carried 5-0. Appeal A17 – Muneshwar Babulal– 17148 Rogers Rd– PID 20-116-22-31-0074 Babulal stated the value was inaccurate because he was being charged for 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and the square footage was off, and Assessing staff was out and corrected the property information, however he still feels the value is still BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MINUTES April 5, 2023 Page 5 too high. A realtor informed him everything is dated with his home. Babulal said he has refaced the kitchen cabinets, but everything is original. He states that two bathrooms currently don’t have hot water. The staff review resulted in a reduction of the assessed value to $524,000 for 1/2/2023 considering the updated data. Babulal is comparing his house to his neighbor which has more square feet and has been remodeled. He states that he has been charged for an additional 175 square feet finish in the basement that was not finished. Werdal requested to see the appraisal grid. Jon Thompson clarified that we have corrected the property information, we made that adjustment administratively and reduced the value this year, and the property owner previously agreed with the new value of $524,000. The original assessed value was $549,100 and was reduced to $524,000. Hoffman commented that these modified two stories are tough to compare, some don’t have full basements resulting in lower level is crawl space. Babulal reiterated that two bathrooms don’t have hot water, an received an estimate of $7,000 to replace the water heater, as they may have to cut a portion of the wall. Hoffman stated the value went to $524,000 taking into consideration some of the conditional issues. Tessmann commented if it went on the market at $524,000 it would sell quickly. Babulal states he needs to replace the A/C and all the windows are fogging up and which would cost him $50,000 to repair. Nate asked who completed the interior inspection if they could comment on the overall condition and any updating. Saumweber stated the kitchen cabinets have been refaced, hardwood floors and overall condition was average condition with no sufficient deferred maintenance, mechanicals were original.

He commented he can’t get the price without completing the repairs. Moquist stated they must be fair to all residents, and the value appears supported. Babulal commented he would like credited for being assessed with inaccurate data, Nate Thompson replied that isn’t in the Board’s scope of work. Jon Thompson clarified assessors are required to physically inspect properties once every five years per state statue. Assessing staff has made multiple efforts to verify information on the property by leaving tags. The total building area was accurate and derived from the original blueprints, however the amount of basement finish and number of bathrooms was inaccurate. This information was updated and the value adjusted accordingly following inspection. We cannot adjust previous years, it is unfortunate, but our office has made multiple efforts to verify interior data over the course of a couple decades. BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MINUTES April 5, 2023 Page 6 Appeal A47 – Maynard Tebben – 6913 Rosemary Rd– PID 03-116-22-33-0048 Tebben based his opinion of value by taking the 2023 assessed value and dividing by the total number of finish square feet on record to derive a price per square foot, then multiplied that number to his estimate of finished square feet to estimate an adjusted value.

Rexford stated he inspected the property and it has great overall appeal, well cared for, good condition, lots of finished square feet with a walkout basement. Board members reviewed sales on the comparison grid, Tessmann states owner’s opinion of $659,00 is too low.
