Meeting called to order at1 p.m.by vice-chair Dave Baker. Also present were Supervisor Ken Coveau, Clerk Fran Levings, Township Assessor Robert Brewster and Pine County Assessor’s office representative Jennie Mansavage.
Ms. Mansavage made opening comments. She stressed that this meeting was only to deal with 2012 assessment and no other year.
- Letter received from Matt Cote and Brad Kress regarding a mobile home onTimber Trail Road. They think the valuation of $2400 is too high. Mr. Brewster pointed out that while the property does not have a sewer or well, it does have a driveway and electricity.
- George Kujawa- Parcel # R.20.0118.001. Property onDoyle Lane. He expressed concern about the valuation being raised due to a cabin he had constructed on the property in 2011. Mr. Brewster explained that the valuation was not solely based on the addition, but on the entire property. He said all valuations inPineCountyhad gone up. He recommended changing the quality designation of the additional cabin from “average” to “below average”. The cabin does not have a well, sewer or electricity, but it does have a driveway. Ms. Mansavage recommended adjusting the designation of “cabin” to “medium cabin”. Both of these recommendations would lower the valuation.
Motion by Dave Baker, second by Ken Coveau, to accept the recommendations of Mr. Brewster and Ms. Mansavage in regards to George Kujawa.
