<br />,- I P <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILlS <br />. MEH:IU\NDllM <br /> ImTE: November 9, 1992 <br /> TO: Dorothy A. Person, City 1Idministrator <br /> FRCM: David W. Kriesel., Buildinq Tn~r <br /> stlll.:Jrer : Remodeling valuation at 1178 Benton Way <br /> On November 2, 1992, Mt'. Scott Larson, 1178 Benton Way, applied f= a <br /> Building Permit (#4644), showing an estimated value of $1,400.00. Upon <br /> review of the suJ:xnitted plans, I found the value for pennit to be <br /> $26,113.05. <br /> My review of the original wilding plans shCMed that the lower level met <br /> the re::lUirements of a story and not as a basement. This re::lUired me to <br /> value the inprovement at $31. 05 a square foot. ('!he valuation deducted <br /> the square footage cost of the basement to a story $44.98 - $13.93 = <br /> $31. 05.) This valuation was met by opposition from Mt'. Iarson. <br /> On subsequent meeting between Mt'. Larson and the City Administrator, Mt'. <br /> Larson has raised the value from $1,400.00, to $6,000.00 and finally to <br />. $9,000.00 to include additional costs and labor. <br /> Although my valuations have been fourrl to be realistic in prior cases, I <br /> requested that Mt'. Larson obtain three separate bids form legitimate <br /> =ntractors to find a reasonable value of the construction. This again <br /> was met by opposition from Mt'. Larson and this is his reason for <br /> appearing before you. <br /> '!he valuation sheets used are provided by the state of Minnesota and the <br /> International Conference of Building Officials. '!he square footage <br /> valuations have been decreasing, causing me to use the most cu=ent and <br /> lowest square footage costs. <br /> OOK:lav <br />. <br />
