based upon sales. The assessment on this property had an appeal factor under the Vision assessment . Mr. Parker stated
that the land is assessed using the same set of standards as all other land in Fitzwilliam. Mr. Parker stated that they would
propose to bring this assessment down to $200,000. We would like to have the current appraisal firm do an interior
inspection of this property. The Hanninen’s are questioning why the value in 2005 was higher then in 2007. Mr. Parker
stated that the antique appeal factor increased this assessment. Mr. Hanninen stated that they felt that $188,000 is a
reasonable figure based upon the appraisal they obtained. The Hanninen’s agreed to the $200,000 assessment. Mr. Parker
