9 � � Victor Wandmayer, 353 Quay Lane, spoke in support of his request for reduction in the appraised value; referring to the poor quality of the land; to the excessive amount of fill requiring expensive foundations; to the fact that there is unequal settlement of the soil on his property. He described the improvements as probably the worst in the area, with defects in construction, walls out of plumb, and heating problems. � Mr. Bohegian commented and responded to questions by Council , indi- ' cating that the appraisers had analyzed approximately ten sales on � that street and found that selling prices varied significantly because of differences in improvements between the various properties. He also noted that discrepancies can be accounted for by the differences in the time that the improvements were made. He stated that the subject property has the most to offer due to the extra improvements and the larger lot; that he did not dispute the cornments regarding poor con- struction, but that the other houses in that area have the same problems, and that the typical lot size on Quay Lane is 3,000 square feet, com- pared to the subject lot of 6,000 squar� feet. MOTION: Councilman Biagi moved, seconded by Councilman Leipzig, to deny the application of Vi�tor J. Wandmayer for assessment adjustment for Parcel No. 95-080-280. The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.

Rochelle Tunick advised that she purchased the property in 1976 and described the problems caused by water seepage resulting in mildewing of clothing and the floor of one room to buckle; that the market value of the property is less than it would be if it were not for the water ' seepage problem; that proper renovation would cost $11,000.

(MINUTE ORDER N0. 79-211) �; Marty Robert Stango, 577 Anchor Circle (Parcel 95-122-160) Application for reduction in appraised value from 124,500 to $115,000 Mr. Bohegian described their method of arriving at the appraisal for this property, that comparable sales were used, and there were indica- � tions that higher priees were paid for similar properties, but that some had larger lots, or a pool , and adjustments were made for that. He recorr�nended a reduction in appraised value of $124,500 for land � ; and improvements by $3,000 because the property was on the low end of ' the spectrum in that area. � ;
