Live on THi01 next to huge ravine.
Assessment jumped $25,000. with
no improvements in last 10 years.
Feel ravine is a real deterrent to
property value.
Bullt new house in established
neighborhood. Last lot which was
basically a swamp wlth a h111 on
it. Agreement with Watershed
Olstrict and BNR to not dlsturb
drainage ditch on property.
Mortgage appraisals, hlghest of
three was $195,000. with a number
of discredits, i.e. located on
TH 7, drainage encumbrance, and
Mother-in-law apartment that ls
not rentable. Assessed at
$212,000. which he feels ls too
hlgh with the discredits.
Land value in comparison to
nelghbor ls too hlgh at $43,000.
Would like consideration of land
value as well as the price of the
property in relation to others in
marketplace.
1991 RMV was $85,500. and for 1992
jumped to $131,400. with no
improvements. Real estate evalua-
tion to sell house at $116,000.
and taking out realtor fees, etc.
might get about $103,000.
Assessment increased $34,600. with
no improvements or repairs. House
built in 1927.
Have lived in house for 26 years.
1980 RMV was $44,000. 1981 was
$64,000. 1982 was $66,700. during
which tlme he put a $20,000. addi-
tion onto house. 1983 RMV went up
to $96,000. Should have contested
at that time, but didn't. Value
is higher than comparable

property. 1984 vent to $98,000.
In 1986 it dropped to $95,000. and
has been at $95,000. since 1986.
This year value increased to
$135,000., an increase of $40,400.
Feels his house is assessed higher
than rest of neighborhood.
Assessment jumped $20,700. in one
year. Statement says Saratoga
First Addition, Green Acres which
he would like clarified. Have new
subdivision behind their home
which has caused water problems.
Home is not comparable in value to
rest of neighborhood.
Built house in 1986 and moved in
in November of 198G. In 1989 added
a deck which Scott Winter came out
and iooked at which raised assess-
ments 14~. Didn't protest at that
time. 1991 assessment increased
l?~ for totaI of 33~ mark-up. No
city services to home. Feels home
is assessed higher than comparabie
property in Chanhassen.
property is Green Acres which was
valued at $90,000. in 1990. 199l
was $~28,100. at first and then
revalued at $234,700. on Green
Acres. Changing Green Acres of
$144,000. Was forced to subdivide
due to City pressures in order to
maintain land values. Subdivision
was not registered until March of
199~. Understands assessments are
established on January 2, 1991,
which should have been under Green
Acres.
Value last year was $84,200. and
jumped to $117,500. this year.
An increase of $33,300. which he
feels is excessive.

Realtors statedlthat assessment
is 15~ higher than market value.
$&O,O00. increase this year from
last. £HU jumped from $139,000.
to $198,000. Hodest house as
compared to neighborhood with no
city services available and
property can't be subdivided in
the future. Isn't fair when
neighbors built very expensive
houses which caused their value
to increase so dramatically.
Assessed property on 1/2/91 at
$187,300. when house was under
construction. House will be
completed in Hay and will sell
for approximately $200,000.
Honey invested in the property
as of 1/2/91 was $138,150. so
would like his assessment reduced.
Purchased house on February 8,
1991 for $122,000. which they felt
to be a fair market value. Was
previously assessed at $102,500.
which was 84X of purchase price.
Assessed at $134,300. this year
which they feel is excessive
compared to fair market value.
Built house in 1959. Have made no
improvements since. Oon't think
could sell it for assessed value
without making some improvements
i.e. new roof and new siding.
32~ increase from $63,100. to
$82,300.
Purchased house in 1983 for
$71,500. and was assessed at
$79,900. Reviewed property record
and found .there are no notations
of property's detractions, i.e.
faces TH i01, in high drainage

area where neighborhood drains
through their property and durlng
power outages, they flood. Had
to have mound septlc system
installed uhlch takes away from
the looks of house. Assessment is
higher than neighbors.
Vacant lot in subdivision and
can't dispute valuation but would
11ke to change property classifi-
cation which is adjacent to home-
stead property. Would 11ke to
incorporate it into homestead lot.
Don Ashworth suggested he talk
to Paul Krauss.
2 1/2 lot in Timberwood Estates.
Bought for future home before

wetland. Trying to sell lot
for $37,000. to $40,000. for 2
years and can't sell it.
Assessment increased 35~ and tax
increased 71~. Assessor stated
assessment was in comparison to
neighboring property whose assess
merits increased 6%, 15~, 11%, 17%,
31~, and 30~. Is looking for
equlty. When values increased in
such wide range, doesn't feel he's
getting equitable treatment. Also,
doesn't like the notlce uhlch says
property ls evaluated each year
when it's not.
Has a discrepancy with Mr. Winters
on square footage of house, upper
and lower levels. House ls
assessed at $165,000. which is far
higher than neighborhood.

Bought house in 1982 for $125,000.
and it was assessed at $110,000.
and the assessments have been
going up each year since so should
have been complaining & to 7 years
ago. The whole issue isn't
necessarily assessment as much as
taxes. Government has to stop
spending more money each yea]' and
just raising taxes to cover it.
Bought house for $60,000. almost
20 years ago. About 2 years ago
piece of property next door was
sold for half a million dollars
and made into a development.
This year their assessment was
$232,000. due to development next
door. Would like some sort of
equity. Remodeled house in 1984
but have made no improvements
since then. A yea]- ago it went
from $138,000. to $232,000.
Value increased almost $50,000.
House was built in 1948 with no
improvements for last 10 years.
Councilman Mason moved, Councilman Wing seconded to close the public hearing
portion of the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Mayor Chmiel: I was just going to mention the fact that even us sitting here on
the Council has had increases of $30,000.00 plus as well. hnd often times that
happens, they say the valuation within a property raises. The purpose for that
or the reason for that is that normally if people do sell their homes adjacent
to you and they do put, like I have a neighbor who's put another $40,000.00 into
their home. In fact another home that was built, they put pretty close to
another $50,000.00 so it does raise the valuation of those particular
properties. Where you having your own home have done nothing to it. True,
there's a certain amount of upgrading that, not upgrading but costs that have
escalated and we're in a position of having to have that great big increase,
just like with your's Hutch of $50,000.00. It's a little bit out of line.
Thereto, sometimes the Assessor might get a little bit upset and do that just so
they have that opportunity for them to be able to get back into your house too.
Z don't particularly like that kind of position either and I guess that'~ one of
the things I just wanted to state.
City Council Meeting - April 2~, 1991
Board of Equalization and Review
Acting Mayor Workman: Does anybody else on the Council have any comments7
Start on the end. Richard?
Councilman Wing: I'm relatively new. I'd like to see what Mike Mason says.
He's also relatively new.
Councilman Mason: Well you know, I do but just because I am so new at this I, I
don't know. I found this meeting to be one of the more depressing things I've
ever been at. And after reading the information we received about how the
taxes are raised and why they're raised I understand, my taxes went up quite a
bit. I understand the reason for that. My question is, why can't it be done in
smaller parcels? I understand the ratio aspect. I understand that the houses
are probably all around the same value in the neighborhood. I can live with
that and some houses have tax increases larger than others because of that. But
when some people are getting a tax bill of $2,000.00-$3,000.00 higher than they
were the year before, there's something wrong with the system. And I'm not
blaming anyone here because I don't know enough about it but I don't think
equity happens overnight. I negotiate contracts and there are some things you
work for over a period of G to 8 years and there are some things you work for
immediately. The people living under fixed incomes or under tight budgets, this
kind of increase is devastating. I honestly don't know what can be done.
Councilwoman Oimler: I guess my only comment is, I believe the lady's name who
was here was Donna Sayther. She was number 58 and she's gone now but I thought
her comments were good and that's why I clapped. I do think that government
needs to reassess it's priorities and it's spending. I know that the City
Council appreciates your comments Mr. sharer that we have done a good job in
holding down our budget. I know the County has as well. I think that in the
future, this is going to keep on going up like she said. Everything seems to
keep going up. It never seems to go down. I think in the future we should
really take a look at, even more so at our expensives and anything that isn't
absolutely necessary we'll just have to cut out of the budget.
Acting Mayor Workman: Don, you gave your comments already. Bid you want to add
anything?
Mayor Chmiel: No, I guess my comments were...
Acting Mayor Workman: My comments are that the frustration is that it's a
double dip. Not only do the taxes go up but that rate multiplied times now a
$50,000.00 increase in assessed value is kind of a double whammy and so if
you're on the 3~ end and you're getting just clipped. We have a serious problem
and we have a person who's 80 years old and maybe can't afford to live in their
house and everything else and that's not just here. But there's a serious,
serious problem and I can honestly say I don't think it's at the County level. I
think the County has one of the dirtiest jobs in the State. The mandates they
have and the bologna they have to put up with, I'm surp~'ised we don't have worse
problems. I think the City does do a good job and I'm proud that we do do it.
Unfortunately it doesn't get noticed because it's such a minute part of the
whole package. We have a serious problem at the State level. I think I went on
a tyrant last year. Yet how do you affect the State level7 How do you affect
the legislature. Voting fees, license fees, fee after fee after fee plus taxes
City Cou;~c.i. 1 Meeting -. April 29, 1991

plus fixing their billion dollar budgets. We've got a serious problem down here
and I was speaking to a person I have a lot of respect in my father today who's
pushing 60 and has a lot of opinions. When my father says there's a revolution
going to be popping up somewhere and he's a pretty conservative, mellow guy. You
see it in the eyes of the people who spoke here tonight. This is a very good
process for us as City Council people. As elected people because you get the
tears and you get the worried look and everything else from about 50 people and
the way they were stacked in here and I think it does us a lot of good to have
to do it, even though I feared this meeting for some time and I think we're all
a little giggly that it's finally over. But it's a serious, serious problem
that unfortunately, if the common sense of the people at this table could take
care of it, they would. The assessed value is something that ue can do. I'm
very concerned about it. It's a double edged sword. We want our values to be
high when we sell. But today we want them to be low so ue got to degrade our
properties. I ;am concerned at the County level about a comment that I receive
from most people. That Chanhassen on the east end of Carver County, growing,
vibrant, is a very high assessed value. People on the other end of the County
or other areas of the County maybe are not. I guess I'd like to maybe have that
addressed sometime so we can look at that. Is that fair? Is that not fair?
I don't know. Will the people on the other end of the County support us
sometime down the road? Maybe that will happen too. But I think the process is
· really good for us to see it and hear it and we don"[ make light of it and we
w.z~t to fix it but can we a~d that's the problem. That's it.
(There was some general discussion between the people in the audience, the City
Council and the County Assessor.) The meeting was adjourned at ~0:~5 p.m..

Assessment increased from $66,500.
to $87.200. with no changes.
Assessment rose from $101,000. to
$131,500. which is higher than
appraisal done on house. Think
$105,000. would be more in line.
Have an Appraisal Report which
indicates the house is valued at
$99,000.
Assessment went up 30X from 3
year ago, which means 1DX per
year.
Property was donated to the U of H
as a life estate. Hrs. Berens has
life tenancy with U of H paying
real estate taxes. Asssessment
lncrease from $96,900. to
$241,600. in one year with no
recent improvements or utilities.
"Humungous" increaes in market
value of older home with new homes
surrounding it.
1990 value was $82,100 and 1991
value was SilO,100. for an
increase of 34%.
Assessment increased 36~ from
$67,500. to $91,900. which is
excessive.
Assessment increased 36.8~ from
$127,800. to $174,900. Appraisal
was significantly less. $140,000.
would be more realistic.
"The increase in the value of my
property for 1 year is terrible."

for an increase of 13.5~.
Feels assessment is overvalued
when compared to neighbors.
Would have to sell home for
$20,000.-$30,000. less than
assessed value.
"Should be $303,300."
Assessed values for downtown
properties are too high. States
proposed resolutions in attached
letter.
Assessed value too high. Are
currently getting appraisals.
Questions how valuation is arrived
at. Real valuation or square
footage picked out of hat.
"Paid $58,000. December 1, 1991"
Assessment increased from $78,600.
to $96,600. (over 22~) with no
city services provided.
Assessment of $158,000. is higher
than market value. Assessment
should be around $132,000. to
$134,000.
Assessment of $123,000. is "far"
too high due to shape of lot,
in comparison to neighboring lots,
and condition of home.

Assessment increaesd $50,000.
since 1979 and $22,000. last year
Increase is higher than neighbors.
Assessment and taxes too high.
"Cashier check for assessed value
of house and it's your's!"
House is not uorth assessment.
Assessment should reflect purchase
price last June of $204,000.
rather than $215,900.
Assessment of $123,900. is too
high considering half of land is
swampland and no improvements to
justify 39~ increase.
Assessed too high in comparison
to neighbors.
36X increase in valuation with no
city services available now or
near future.
Empty lot and house under
construction until Jan, 1991 are
taxed way too high.
Appraised in April, 1991 for
$232,000. and assessed for
$248,700..
Market appraisal done last year
was $102,000. and assessed at
$111,000. Would probably have a
difficult time selling house for
$98,000.

Assessed higher than neighbors
with comparable property.

Assessment increased 27.8~ in one
year with no city services and
living on private driveway with
public easement for Bluff Creek
Golf Course.
Misclassification of house which
resulted in higher assessment.
Assessment of $130,200. should be
$106,300.
Property had been listed for
$169,900. with no offers. Assessed
at $183,300. which is a gross

Assessed at $284,500. and house

Professional appraisal is lower
than assessment.

market value was $119,700. The
assessment remains at $119,700.
Questioning what will happen in
the future.

is higher than neighboring
property.
Purchased home for $76,000. on
December, 1989 and have since
finished basement and installed
central air conditioning for total
of $6,600. Assessment should be
higher than presently is.
Increase of $52,000. in one year.
Due to divorce and refinancing
have had the following appraisals
done: 1988 for $123,800; 1989 for
$157,000 and 1990 for $170,000.
The highest being after some
needed repairs.
Due to comparable properties in
neighborhood should be assessed at
$249,700. rather than $279,800.
Assessed 50A higher than next
highest valued home in
neighborhood.
Purchased home for $382,300. on

The rest is wetland.

when compared to neighboring

43% increase from $76,200. to
$109,100. for an older home is
unrealistic.

Increased from $63,700. to
$97.400. on a 40 year old house.
30X increase. Feel amount above
$116,800. is replacement cost, not
what it could be sold for.
Purchased property in February,
1990 for $100,000. Assessments
increased from $87,500. to
$115,500. House is in need of
repairs.
Increased from $95,100. to
$117,300.
For 13 years the house has been
assessed at $92,100. and now it's
$16,000. more.
$165,000. assessment is unfair
when compared to homes sold in the
area. Feel market value is more
around $140,000.
33~ increase in one year for a
home with no city services or
improvements in last 5 years.
$23,300. increase. Property has
a number of items that should be
taken into consideration when
assessing it's value.
Increased from 127,900 to 147,700
Realtor appraisals were all
$10,000. to $15,000. less than
assessment.
