Page 5 Findings & Recommendations Therefore, Hearings official recommends that Mr. Konnie be provided the option of signing a statement acknowledging further assessment of Lets X600 and b700 if the shopping center use is changed ar the parking lots are further developed. The Hearings Ufficial is advised that Mr. Konnie is agreeable to this approach. 2. Another example of a parking lot that staff proposes be treated as developed is lot 17-04- 24-21-7300. This lot is adjacent to a church building and is utilized by the River Road Baptist Church as a parking lot. Without the lot the church would not have adequate parking to meet code requirements. The church has not indicated disagreement with staff approach of levying the assessment at this time. However, the circumstances of the church parking lot are essentially the same as the Konnie property. Therefore, if the church desired to sign a similar agreement, that would be the recommendation of the Hearings Ufficial. 3. Shirley Rae Boyd owns tax Iot 17-04023-42-2801 adjacent to her home at 1315 Sunnyside Drive. Lot 2801 is fenced with the lot Ms. Boyd's house sits on ~TL2800} and is landscaped with a pond and well established plants. Ms. Boyd contends that lot 2801 is a separate vacant lot and should not be assessed at this time, The lot is too small to be developed without a variance and city planning staff cannot find a record indicating the lot was created through a legal process and therefore would not grant a variance. Ms, Boyd recently worked with the assessor's office so that 2801 and 2800 would be treated as one unit and the assessed value of 2801 would be lowered. Staff recommends lot 2801 be assessed at the present time. After viewing the Boyd property, the Hearings official agrees with the staff recommendation. This really is only one property and should be assessed as such. There is no other way this property could be developed and its landscaping and integration with the other property are complete. 4. Charlie Newberry owns lot 17-04-23-1200 Account 370}. This lot is behind lot 1100 where Mr. Newberry's home is located at 1250 Elkay Drive. The lot contains a pump house and garden shed. and a large garage type building. The assessed value for these improvements is $5100. Mr. Newberry says none of the improvements have plumbing fixtures and the land use will never change as long as he uses it and requests that the assessment be dropped. Staff recommends that the assessment be levied as it fits that criteria of having an improvement value, that the chances of the land being further developed and assessed for sewer are small and the City should not carry the cost for the sewer. The Newberry property is quite similar to the Boyd property, in that the properties appear to be essentially integrated. There is no access from the second property to the street. Because of its use by Mr. Newberry, it appears as all one property. The Hearings Official recommends that this lot be included within the assessment calculations.
