Ms. Blancett-Maddock stated she had the same comment as before that the taxpayer appeal is stating the building value is the same as it was in 2021 but the market did increase. Mr. Harano seeing no further discussion. Called for the vote. Motion passed by a vote of 3:0 CASE #44580 – HAWAII PETROLEUM INC TMK 6-4-034-054-0000 The subject property is a gas station and convenience store located in Waimea. The 2022 land and buildings value are under appeal. Appellant representative Diane Kennedy was present via telephone for the hearing. Appellant requested land value be lowered to $581,700 and building value be lowered to $1,133,600. County recommended sustaining the county value’s of $698,000 for land and $1,599,500 for building. No rebuttals by appellant or county. Board reviewed documentation and asked questions to both the appellant and county. Mr. Harano asked if there were any other questions the Board has to the County or the appellant? Seeing none, asked for a motion for discussion purposes. Mr. Okumoto moved to sustain the county values for land at $698,000 and building value at $1,599,500 for a total of $2,297,500 because the assessment value of the property did not exceed more than 20% the assessment to market value. Ms. Blancett-Maddock seconded the motion. Open for discussion. Mr. Okumoto stated again the county presented sales that average more than the assessment so the assessment is inline with what the market shows. Ms. Blancett-Maddock repeating comment again the taxpayer used the 2021 values for their 2022 appeal values. Mr. Harano added the lot size is very big to the closest one of the of the comps used is 7,000 square feet less and the age of the building as newer compared to the older comparables. The assessment is well justified as it is still well within the gas station sales in 2021 was paid for. I think its justified. Mr. Harano asked for further discussion. Seeing none, called for the vote. Motion passed with a vote of 3:0.
