On August 5, 1992, the Appeliant made a building permit dpplication for an G40 <br />square foot additiun to the building on-site. The proposed improvements, as <br />submitted by the Appellant, are expected to be $33,799. This is less than 50% of <br />the fair market value of the oroperty on-site as determined by the 1991 tax <br />assessment of the property. The 1991 tax assessment on the property is $219,200. <br />5. <br />� <br />The City of Everett Public Works Department decided that street improvements are <br />required for the proposed improvement. The City contended that the improvements <br />should have been made ir, ':989 and must now be made with the 1992 <br />improvements. <br />The City submitted that EMC Chapter 13.68, the enabling legislation for street <br />imrrovemer,!s, does not have an expiration oate for comoliance. It was the City's <br />argument that because the City failed to require the initial street improvements <br />during the 1989 remodel, they can be required with the second building permit. <br />7. The Appellant submitted that the fair ma�ket val! ie of the pi �perty in 1989 vias much <br />greater than the assessed value as determined in 1997. The Appellant submitted a <br />statement from the Baytown Escrow Compan� indicating that in 1989 the subject <br />propeRy sold for $392,455.07. According to an escrow statement submitied by the <br />Appellant, the value of the property should be based on the total amount paid for the <br />site. (It is noted that the legal description of the property that is identified in the <br />escrow staternent is not the same legal description as the property that is identified <br />in the 1985 �onstruction permit.) <br />The Hearing Examiner of the City of Everett has jw�sdictional authority to h�ld a <br />hearing and to issue a decision on this administrative appeal. <br />2. Street improvements are required in the City of Everett for any additions, alterations, <br />�� � or repairs within any twelve-month period which excaeds 50% of the current market <br />value of an existing building or facility on the property. This is required pursuant. to <br />EMC 13.68.020. <br />3. <br />G� <br />The City has not proven the fair market" value of the property as of October 31, <br />1989. The City relied upon 1987 tax assessments but did not provide updated <br />values resulting from appreciation of the property for 1989. <br />The Appellant su5mitted that the property value exceeds the tax assessment for <br />1987. The difficulty with the Appellant's information is that the escrow statement <br />that he provided was not applicable to the subjec: property. <br />
