the vote was declared unanimous.
Allen Black, Eagle County Assessor, presented a petition for abatement,
schedule number 30252, William A. Stephens. Curtis Belcher was present
representing the petitioner. Staff recorrmended an abatement for $745.53.
Mr. Belcher spoke to the issue and the sale of this parcel to Mr.
Stephens. The concern was the location of the sewer systems. He explained
this is a boundary line adjustment and their understanding was there are two
parcel numbers on that land and it does not exist as a 1.98 acre parcel. He
stated Mr. Stephens does not have a separate parcel for sale. They asked
this be brought into value with the original piece of property.
Mr. Black stated for 1995 it existed as a separate parcel and will be
assessed at the same rate regardless of inclusion or not.
Mr. Belcher contends it should be considered a separate parcel but they
feel it should be valued as residential.
Corrmissioner Phillips asked what this would sell for.
Mr. Belcher explained it is not for sale and they will be looking to
rezone the property for corrmercial development. Mr. Belcher stated they have
no desire to sell the separate parcel.
Mr. Black stated the property sold in September of 1991 for $28,800.
Mr. Belcher stated it was purchased when the Forest Service bought the
property behind. Mr. Belcher explained Mr. Stephens claims to have purchased
the property for $3,500.00. He bought it for his concern for the sewer
system. He would like to see this 1.98 acres included with Mr. Stephens
other property.
Mr. Black stated it is too late for 1995 as the tax rate is out there
but given the time in 1996 they will do so. Mr. Black stated the assessment
rate will not change but it will be included with the other area.
Chairman Gates asked if the petitioner would accept the assessor's
intention.
Mr. Belcher stated again, his client paid only $3,500.00 and perhaps
there was a typo from the Clerk's office in the doc fee.
Commissioner Phillips moved to approve a partial abatement, schedule
number 30252, William A. Stephens in the amount of $745.53 for tax year 1995.
Chairman Gates seconded the motion. Of the two voting Corrmissioners,
the vote was declared unanimous.

easterly portion of the gravel pit.
Corrmissioner Phillips moved to approve a partial abatement, schedule
number 17187, William A. Stephens in the amount of $3448.68 for 1994.
Chairman Gates seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners the
vote was declared unanimous.
Mr. Black stated for 1995, schedule number 17187 was withdrawn by the
petitioner.

transfer the 1.98 acres of property previously mentioned and chose to do so
at this time.

ot a desire to claim the land as agricultural. They have not seen it being
grazed. The statues require it having been used for two years and does not
fit this property.
Ms. Berenato explained they are seeing one copy of a check in 1995.
Mr. Belcher stated there was ag classification previously.
Mr. Black clarified on this particular parcel there was no agricultural
classification. In schedule number 24011 there is no agricultural
classification according to the assessor's office.
Mr. Belcher stated it went from ag to natural resource.
Ms. Berenato stated in 1993 and 1994 it was not classified as ag and can
not be classified as ag in 1995. In 1997 they can come back in for
classification.
Mr. Belcher stated they are looking at two schedule numbers but at one
piece of property.
Ms. Berenato stated if it was not classified as ag in 1993 and 1994, it
can not be classified as ag in 1995.
Mr. Black reiterated the need for use to be shown in 1993 and 1994. He
explained how the separate uses influenced the different schedule numbers.
They did so because there was a court order. To get them back together he
must do so by petitioning into the WEOVIRD and a court order be issued.
Mr. Belcher stated a minimal value that reflected the non-salability of
the 63 acres would be acceptable.
Commissioner Phillips moved to approve the petition for abatement,
schedule number 24011 for 1995 in the amount of $829.63 for William A.
Stephens.
