The Appellant, Krueger Property Investments, LLC, was represented by Jack Johnson. The Assessor's
representative was Oliver Querin.
The Appellant's agent presented his view of the Assessor's comparable sales. Specifically,there was no
consideration of the intangible value for the businesses, and that current sale listings provided by the
Assessor should not be used in determining fair market value of the subject parcel.
The Appellant orally presented three additional comparable sales. All three of the sales were purchased by
Washington State. Upon further discussion, it was determined that the three comparable sales were not
commercially feasible. Therefore, the Board did not consider these as comparable sales.
The Appellant also alleged that 50% of the subject parcel was useable, due to the topography,but provided
no evidence to substantiate this position.
The Assessor provided a detailed analysis of six comparable sales which supported the assessed value.
The Assessor also testified that the entire subject parcel was useable.
The Board therefore upheld the assessed value of$251,395 for the subject parcel.
