F, DEC 8 1,997 BOOK 8O Pk 'IF 226 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht to use the 150 -foot rule on Mr. Carlson's piece of property. Under discussion, Attorney Vitunac stressed that the definition of the 150 -foot rule should be changed if it is used in this manner. Chairman Eggert recommended that it should depend on the situation and whether or not the property is touching a road. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. Russell Peterson, local attorney, asked the Board to combine his five -acre and his one-half acre parcels and apply the 150 -foot rule to the entire 318 feet of frontage. Commissioner Bird expressed a willingness to apply the 150 - foot rule and reduce the assessment to two acres. Commissioner Macht pointed out that treating two parcels as one is an exception to the rule. Discussion ensued, and Mr. Peterson stressed that he was willing to unify the two parcels but explained that the deadline has passed for filing a unification request. He mentioned that portions of the property are not buildable because there is a muck pond on the land. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously agreed to combine the five -acre parcel and the .57 acre parcel and apply the two -acre rule, subject to Mr. Peterson filing the proper unity of title. Jim Beindorf, Jr., 4780 2nd Street, stated that he owns 2.62 acres, was assessed $10,329.81, and would like to know if there was any way that amount could be reduced. Commissioner Bird conveyed that the Board would need some unique circumstances to justify an adjustment. He realized that Mr. Beindorf has a deed restriction on his property, but the County Attorney has advised that private deed restrictions are not enforceable by the County. Chairman Eggert asked, and Attorney Vitunac confirmed, that limiting the lot to one house does not change the total square footage being assessed. 18
