Grievance Deliberations – 5/18/2024:
- Mr. Sanborn - While examining the property information for 316 Cahill Road, it was observed that the square footage assessed in 2022 did not reflect the current actual square footage observed in 2024. It was also observed that the percent complete was overstated. The percent complete was reduced to 80%. The current value of the property is $245,600.
- Mr. Micciche – While reviewing the size and configuration of multiple barns/outbuildings that existed in a single connected formation, it was decided to simplify the data collected for those multiple structures and identify it as one barn with a hayloft. This resulted in a reduction in value of Mr. Micche’s outbuildings. The current value of the property is $326,700.
