Mrs. McKa,y owns a lot to the reax of her property at 61+1 No. Hazel. A
garage has existed on this rear lot since approximately 1938. Nls,ry
McKay stated that there was no problem until they built a gaxage on the

one lot. The appeZlant would l.ike to keep the old g�xage for storage,
as it is approximately 12' x 18' and in good cond.ition. Ma,ry McKa,y said
they would like to repair overhea.d door, pendin� outcome of this hearing.

At this point, Helen S�einhelber ir�troduced rers�l� to �he Baard. She
stated that she was very active in code enforcement ar�d housing code
matters.
Since heaxings were ahead of schedule, Mr. Staffenson proceeded to reZate
to the Board a situation which ha�. developed regarding a previous appeal
heard on August 23, 1972. Mr. 5taffenson stated that a 60-day extension
wa,s gra.nted by the Board on a�.l repairs of 646-6k8 Sherburne. Because of
the inspection report which was issued to him, Mr. Johnson has ma.de an
application for a reduction of the valuation of this property. Mr. Johnson
requested to set praperty value at zero an the basis of the inspection
report. In essence, what he is doing is saving money by not improving
property. According to Mr. Staffenson, four to five requests for reduction
of valuation with attachment of housing code orders axe coming into the
County Assessor's Office each week.
