GRIEVANCE DAY
JULY 19, 1988
Samuel S. Markel, Chairman Warren Smith
William Weinheimer Thomas J. Henry
Samuel A. Manarel
Session was called to order at 9: 00 A.M.
1- 1001-4-3-19
Rosemary W. Gutwillig
529 Main Street
Greenport, NY 11944
Chairman Markel: Rosemary Gutwillig do you solemnly swear
that the information you give herein will be accurately and
truthfully to the best of your ability?
Rosemary Gutwillig: Yes I do.
Chairman Markel: OK, Sam would you like to read the complaint
and see if it is properly filled out?
Chairman Markel: Your complaint if that the assessed value of
real property improved is assessed at a higher rate then other
property on the assessment rolls?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes that' s my contention.
Chairman Markel: This is you comparison sheet?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes it is.
Chairman Markel: Bill would you get 1001-4-3-19 , and some of
these comparables. While you are in there, there is a folder of
people who „have submitted applications which- should have been
here this morning I think Claire has it. It will be a minute or
two Mrs. Gutwillig.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Could I just--acquaint you with facts? Should
I just say this was a renovation and I was reassessed from $3000;
this was a renovation on a derelict house on 529 Main Street that
used to belong to Evelyn Pollack, whom some of you may be
familiar with. It was reassessed from 3000 to 6600 following its
renovation. When I made the renovation I actually diminished the
house by a total of 252 square feet. I demolished a cupboard
• portion of the front which was 21 1/2 by 8 and there was a
2
bathroom addition to the rear which was 8 ' by 10 ' and I removed
• those altogether which as I say reduced the entire area by 282,
so the building is actually smaller than it was before and then I
left the number of rooms unchanged except for the addition of the
half bathroom; so that basically it's the same house only
restored.
Chairman Markel: As soon as we get the cards and information
then we can start judging to see when the prior assessment was
made on the house the year it was made prior to your purchasing
it, and compare the square footage against the rates that the
assessors use and we can also question the assessor on it for you
and get all the answers that you will require.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Listen I just made a factorial error on this,
I see I have a typing error It used to be 3600 and so it was not
3000 it was 3600 .
Chairman Markel: We can adjust that when we get your
application back. That's perfectly alright.
Thomas Henry: When did you complete the renovation?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Last June or July. It' s been on the market
since July 9th 1987 .
• Thomas Henry: After you renovated it you put it on the market?
Mrs Gutwillig: Yes, it' s not my personal house, it' s just a
spec house.
Thomas Henry: Was it live in before you renovated it?
Mrs. Gutwillig: It had been condemned by the village. It was
lived in by Evelyn but on a very marginal basis. It was
uninhabitable really. There was a fire caused by lightning and
the village condemned it just as I bought it. It did not have a
CO when I bought it.
Sam Mananel: Your address is what? Has the village assessed
you place.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Main Street and yes even higher, 68 as
opposed to 66. But it's Mr. Gordon it is the same man.
Sam Mananel: Should we have' Fred Gordon come in here?
Chairman Markel: Well why don' t we look at the whole thing
before we call Fred in and decide what questions we want to ask
him.
Chairman Markel: Mrs. Gutwillig when did you demolish the
• additions that your talking about? Was it after 5/87?
3
• Mrs. Gutwillig: No it was prior to 5/87.
Chairman Markel: Would you just like to look at this sketch
that the assessor has drawn on your assessment card and see if
this is what is remaining as of right now.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes that is what is remaining.
Chairman Markel: We will assume that the dimensions they have
here are correct. Now we shall look at some comparisons.
Mrs. Gutwillig: This is a picture of the house in its new
form, and that's the neighbor next to it.
Chairman Markel: It' s the small one.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes the neighbor is assessed at 6400 and I 'm
6600.
Thomas Henry: Is the Davis house that' s in the picture here on
this document?
Mrs Gutwillig: Yes.
Chairman Markel: This is just one of the comparisons.
Mrs. Gutwillig: That neighbors house is lot 18, this is my
neighbor to the south.
Sam Manarel: Mrs Gutwillig is this the house.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes, that is the house the smaller one. If
you are interested I have pictures of all the comparisons.
Chairman Markel: We have them on the cards.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes, but they may be old ones.
Chairman Markel: They have dates on them so we know how old they
are and primarily we are actually interested in the comparison of
square footage rather than an actual photo of the house.
Mrs. Gutwillig: I have square footage of the land but I don't
have square footage of the house.
Chairman Markel: Whether you'k_ now it or not, today we are only
hearing your complaint. We do not make a decision at this time.
We get all the facts and then we have Decision Day. On that day
we make the decision and notify you of our decision.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes I understand.
•
4
Mrs. Gutwillig: Lot 18 ' s land is assessed at 800 and my is
assessed at 1000 and they are the same square footage.
Sam Manarel: Is there a garage attached to the house?
Mrs. Gutwillig: It' s unattached.
Sam Manarel: Is it a two car garage or a one car garage?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Two. The Hamilton lot is a total of 8915 square
feet lot 18.
Warren Smith: The house next store main building is $3 . 50 and
her' s is $5. 25 and they both look like wood houses to me.
Fred Gordon: As I explained to Mrs. Gutwillig. There' s a
tremendous amount of work on this home and I 'm not questioning
what she spent but we did put the correct rate on her home as to
what a two story house should be. I can' t answer for previous
assessors that' s my problem.
Chairman Markel: Yes I know that but I can' t understand
somebody living in the same type of house and one assessment is
to high and another is to low.
Fred Gordon: Well if I can explain how previous assessors use
• to do this. They, instead of putting a depreciation house
because of the condition they would put a lower rate. Then
another assessor would come along and he would put a correct rate
on the house and put on a depreciation factor. As I said before
I can't answer for previous assessors. This is a possibility of
what might have happen to her and some of her neighbors. In my
discussion with Mrs. Gutwillig I think I did mention something
because of the age and because it does go back to the 18001s, I
can't advise you but.
Chairman Markel: Fred, I have one question for you were
talking about a depreciation factor for age, would it matter if
the house had been renovated or not? The age is still there.
You have a house that was built in 1830 and the fact the person
maintains properly does not alter the fact that it is still of an
age that other people are gaining a depreciation factor on it
because of age. In other words if somebody wants their house to
look nice you then punish them over a person who doesn' t care
about the condition or looks of their house.
Fred Gordon: Well I can' t use the word punish you increase the
value of the house when you take care of it. Lets put it that
way. I explain the method of value.
• Chairman Markel: Yes I understand I was just bringing up these
facts.
5
• Sam Mananel: You did not paint the whole house did you?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes I did.
Sam Mananel: I thought you said you left some rooms the same.
Mrs. Gutwillig: I left all. the room the same but I mean there
was a lot of work that had to be done.
Sam Mananel: You mean you redid the whole house.
Mrs. Gutwillig: What had to be done I did. I can certainly
answer more specific questions.
Chairman Markel: You painted the interior you replaced any
rotting wood.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes
Sam Mananel: You sheetrocked and installed insulation?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes we put in new sheetrock and insulation.
Sam Mananel: New electric wiring.
Mrs Gutwillig: Yes
• Sam Mananel: New heating?
Mrs. Gutwillig: Heating was the same.
Chairman Markel: I don't think we have any further questions
Fred. Does the Board have any further questions of Mrs.
Gutwillig?
Thomas Henry: Did you understand Mr. Gordon' s explanation?
Mrs. Gutwillig: I understand about the depreciation, yes he
and I had this conversation.
Thomas Henry: Do you accept the depreciation as a reason?
Mrs. Gutwillig: No I do not accept that nor do I accept the
fact that I should not have had some relief because the overall
size of the building is has been reduced by 52 square feet.
Thomas Henry: You are confusing me at the moment. My question
had to do with unequal assessments. The assessor just explained
what he thought happened.
Mrs. Gutwillig: Yes I understood that about the depreciation
and the rate.
6
Thomas Henry: You don't find that as satisfactory relief in your
house.
Mrs. Gutwillig: No the assessment on my house according to Mr.
Gordon was calculated without the depreciation factor. I would
like to have a depreciation factor. I think that is only fair it
is an 1830' s house.
Chairman Markel: Looking back at you application you have
filled out part two grounds for complaint that the assessed value
of real property is at a higher percentage point I would like to
advise you at this time to do two things to this application. I
would like you to put the assessed value on that application.
Chairman Markel: As you know our Board cannot grant you a
relief below the amount you set on the bottom of your
application. You set 4900 as the assessed valuation and we now
know that the assessed valuation is 6600. Has anyone else any
more questions for Mrs. Gutwillig? I think we have satisfied
ourselves as far as questions and answers. We will meet in
another 10 days or two weeks and on that time we will arrive at a
decision and notify you by mail of our decision. Our decision is
not final if you don' t like it you have two more avenues to
complain if you are not satisfied with our decision. The one
area is you can go to small claims court and the second area of
course is you can to Supreme Court want to advise of these
things, and thank you very much.

Thomas P. and Annette Jordan
1550 Brigantine Drive
Southold, NY 11971
Received by the Assessor' s Office July 18, 1988. The grounds of
complaint listed are that the residence and land are of a higher
assessed valuation than comparable properties. The letter
received is attached to the application, and a xerox copy of
the letter is attached to the minutes.
William Wei.nheimer: Here' s Jordan with 79. acreage $f600 land
value there are three people in Southold with more acreage and
they are. any °where from $400 to $600 less in land value
assessment.
Fred Gordon: This is improved property.
Sam Manarel: What is improved property?
Fred Gordon: When you put a building on it.
7
Sam Manarel: When you put a building on it but doesn' t that
• show up here?
Fred Gordon: Yes it show the improvement here. So he has 1600
land the improvement is 9500 for a total of 11,100.
Sam. Manarel: The point we are getting at is what is the
difference between vacant land and improved land as long as you
have showed the improvement as taken over in this category.
Fred Gordon: It has always been the policy that the land goes up
as soon as you put an improvement on it.
Thomas Henry: What is the ratio they use?
Fred Gordon: Roughly one hundred to two hundred dollars.
Thomas Henry: Whose policy is that? The Assessor' s Office
policy or the State policy?
Fred Gordon: It has always been that policy. I don' t think it
is a state policy.
Fred Gordon: Improved land is worth more.
Thomas Henry: Is there any ration by which you determine the
• improved value of the land?
Sam Manarel: How about the swimming pool $500.
Fred Gordon: That must have been larger than a standard size
swimming pool. 16 ' by 321 . It must have been an olympic size.
Sam Manarel: What does standard size go for?
Fred Gordon: $400, either that or he had a tremendous amount of
decks around it.
Thomas Henry: This one says inground pool with decks.
Normally they don't have decks around them do they?
Fred Gordoa: They usually have a walkway around it but sometimes
these people fill up the whole yard with the deck and everything.
Chairman Markel: Fred when they put a deck around would'nt
you measure the deck and charge them so much for square foot for
a deck? Don' t you usually charge for square foot for a deck?
Fred Gordon: Yes , but in this case it was more feasible to
assess it by pool area than to measure deck.
Chairman Markel: Make you comments and we will make a decision
• on Decision Day.

Town of Southold
Board of Assessment Review July 15, 1988
Town Hall
Southold, New York 11971
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please accept the following information as grounds for my Complaint
of Unequal Assessment.
A review of the assessment roll indicates to me that both my
residence and the land upon which my residence is located, are of a
higher assessed valuation than comparable properties .
As owner of the residence and land known as 1550 Brigantine Drive,
Harbor Lights Estates , Southold, I have reviewed the assessments of
comparable properties located in and around the area known as Harbor
Lights Estates where my residence is located.
The results of the comparison of my LAND ASSESSMENT is as follows;
• My Property 79-4-26 . 79 1, 600
Comparison Property 79-4-25 .76 1 ,200
My Property 79-4-26 .79 1 ,600
Comparison Property 79-4-17 .4 . 95 1,000
My Property 79-4-26 . 79 1,600
Comparison Property 79-4-17 .6/ .96 1 ,000
My Property 79-4-26 .79 1 ,600
Comparison Property 79-4-17 . 2 -, . 99 1 ,000
My Property 79-4-26 . 79 1,600
Comparison Property 79-4-24 . 92 1 ,200
My Property 79-4-26 . 79 1 ,600
Comparison Property 79-3-06 . 70 1 ,200
The above comparisons show_ that my land assessment is consistantly
greater than other lots , whether they are equal or larger in size .
My land assessment is consistantly, on an average , 500 more in
assessed valuation. I.t must also be noted that approximately 180
of my land has been labeled as "wetlands" , making it substancially
unusable, while lands described in this comparison are basically
"high and dry" and in some instances are considered valuable
• "waterview lands. "
.Btsed on the information contained herein, I am requesting a reduction
of at least 500 in the assessed valuation of my land.
9
The results of the comparison of my RESIDENCE is as follows;
My Residence 79-4-26 9 ,500 Comparable colonial
Comparison 79-4-38=' 7, 000 with swimming pool
My Residence 79-4-26 9 ,500 Comparable colonial
Comparison 79-3-06.-' 7 ,700 with swimming pool
My Residence 79-4-26 9 ,500 Comparable colonial
Comparison 79-4-15 6 ,900 without pool
My Residence 79-4-26 9 ,500 Comparable colonial
Comparison 79-4-60 6 ,700 without pool
The comparisons shown above indicate that my residential
assessment is consistantly higher than comparable residences
in my area.
Thank you for your consideration of these matters and I hope
your investigation will confirm my contention that I am
• receiving unequal treatment and am therefore entitled to a
reduction in the assessment on my residence and land.
�- Sincerely,
Thomas P . Jordan

George Kontothanassis and wife
3190 The Long Way
SPebble Beach
East Marion, New York 11939
Chairman Markel: Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the
information you give herein will be given accurately and
truthfully to the best of your ability?
Mr. Konothanassis: Yes I do.
Chairman Markel: OK, now we will receipt that this
application has been received the 19th of July 1988. This is
application number 3 . Would you please fill out the Town is
Southold, and the spelling is KONOTHANASSIS and wife and the
property location is 3190 The Long Way. He is complaining that
the assessed value is at a higher percentage of the value than
the assessed value of other real properties on the assessment
roll. Now have you got any particular property in you mind that
you know of to compare? Any neighbor close by or would you just
like us to exam other properties near by?
Mr. Konothanassis: I know how much I paid for that.
Chairman Markel: I will call the Assessor' s Office right now
and ask them to bring us in some comparatives in your area.
Other people that own property in the same area. This is a one
family house?
Mr. Konothanassis: Yes. I pick the area to build my next
residence because I live in Syosset and I have enough with the
taxes there and I am getting older and my income is getting less
and the information I have from the area I thought I was going to
get relief. I didn' t even move in the house yet, because with
the contractor I have had several problems. Even now the toilets
clogged the basements full of water and he tried his best to
correct those mistakes and I did not use the house yet and
already I paid last years taxes close to $1700.00. Now I seeing
this letter for more taxes and didn' t even use the house. I was
wondering where' s the relief I was told before I come here? I
have wrong information.
William Wea.nheimer: Do you have a building permit still in
affect on that house or do you have a certificate of occupancy?
Mr. Kontothanassis: We have a certificate of occupancy and I
was surprise how come that builder got one.
Chairman Markel: Who told you that you would get relief in
your taxes?
Mr. Kontothanassis: Well different people I talk to in the
• area, they live here for many years. Even now they pay less
taxes in the area of East Marion. I hear that $600. 00 for a
11
house bigger than mine. It' s not in the area of Pebble Beach
it' s outside of it. We have no garbage service. No mailing
• service, no lights in the streets. It' s a private road. We
have to pay everything for the repairs of the road and everything
else. Plus we have to pay annual dues to the association.
Chairman Markel: Mr. Kontothanassis you just mentioned the
fact that you know of other people with houses that are perhaps
larger that pay less money than you. What we can do in this
particular case if you so desire is we can make a continuance on
this is you can get us that information. Incidentally, we don't
make any decisions today at this meeting.
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes I understand this.
Chairman Markel: We are going to review all the facts and come
to a decision at a future time. Now it would not entail you
coming back here, but if you could get us that information before
we arrive at a Decision Day meeting and mail it in to us, I
guarantee you that we will examine all the facts in our
consideration for final decision. Now I 'm not asking you to do
it today. Today we will look at the card. Now, it does not
affect the person you are telling us about one iota. We have no
jurisdiction to raise anybody' s taxes in this Town and we could
care less. That is the Assessor' s job. Our job is to see that
you are fairly assessed.
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes but I believe that you can do that
• from the information that I have given you on the application
instead of getting me involved by giving you names of friends and
neighbors.
Sam Manarel: You are involved, you are the one that is making
the complaint.
Chairman Markel: I am not trying to get you involved.
Sam Manarel: You are involved in making the application
complete and giving us the information we need in order to work
with.
Mr. Kontothanassis: The application does not have any room
that says give us the information.
Thomas Henry: Are you afraid and do not want to involve the
neighbors?
Chairman Markel: It does havd -a place here Mr.
Kontothanassis it says here . . .
Mr. Kontothanassis: This is the information I have before I
even build the house.
• Chairman Markel: In any event the more information that you
can supply us with. We can' t be expected to look at every other
12
piece of property in Southold Town because we have thousands and
thousands of them and it would be an impossible task. But if you
• did know of specific instances we could exam, it goes no further
than this Board, that I will tell you. I am just trying to help
you as much as I can.
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes I can see that and I can not cause
trouble.
Chairman Markel: We have a comparative here. Now I ' ll start
off with Warren and this is his house and there is a picture of
it in it's present state as of 5/87. Here is another on right
near him and the owner is Chris Lolis and wife and you can
judge from that.
Mr. Kontothanassis: During the construction I didn't know that
from the beginning was a new law for the water connection I spend
almost $2,000 for that connection that law was not before, just
for my lot was in effect a year ago. It was a disappointment.
Somehow I felt I was penalized because I pick the Town to live in
it.
William Weinheimer: Was that mandated because of the area Sam?
Chairman Markel: That' s Greenport water district we have no
jurisdication over that whats so ever.
Chairman Markel: We are absolutely independent of the
• assessors. If fact we are independent of all functions of Town
government no one can tell us what to do or •how to do it. We are
responsible to the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
However, we have a guideline of law that we must follow, you
understand that? We have to act within the law.
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes, I understand.
Sam Manarel: Is the frame composed of brick? The lower half?
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes the lower half.
Sam Manarel: Is this your neighbors house? Is his house brick?
Mr. Kontothanassis: I believe so.
Sam Manarel: Just the front. Your' s is all the way around?
Mr. Kontothanassis: Yes ,
Chairman Markel: I think we have gotten all the information we
require if you have anything else you would like to tell us. We
will meet within the next two weeks and at that time we will have
a final decision on your application and will notify you by mail
of our decision and as you know if you feel that our decision is
• not in good judgement the way you feel you do have recourse to
either small claims court or Supreme Court of the State of New
13
York. You will hear from us as soon as our decision is made.
Thank you very much for coming.

Chairman, Markel: The applications are complete and have been
signed by Joseph Mazzafaro„Vice President. This particular
situation which I have the proper back up for, I will pass the
information with the application. I will also state at this time
that notice of disclosure of interest if filed for any member
that might have an interest in this situation. It is necessary
to file this at the we turn the decision over to the assessors so
it is not necessary for me to show you this disclosure so long as
• they are submitted by Decision day. The complaints are in three
forms and Island End is the owner of only one and they are the
14
net lessee of two and according to the tax laws, Division of
Equalization and Assessment the State of New York has got all
• the necessary laws and back up for Island End being the
complainant on the other town forms and I would also like to
point out at this time that they have chosen as a comparison
North Fork Country Club. Although they don' t have the exact same
situation as far as being lessee' s they have three parcels under
their own name but three separate sheets to compare and Island' s
End have three separate sheets to compare. Since it is one
entity as far as it being operated as a golf course in both
cases. Island End pays all the taxes. The only thing Mr. King
does is receive rent.
Sam Manarel: Since there is no one here why don't you just
read them instead of passing them around.
Chairman Markel: On 35-2-1, the assessed valuation is 25,100,
the complainant believe9the assessment should be 20,000. On
35-2-11, the assessment is 24,100 the complainant believes the
assessment should be reduce to 10,000 and the grounds for
complaint is the assessed valuation is at a higher percentage of
value than the assessed value of other real property on the
assessment roll in a like manner. On 35-2-12 the full value of
property is assessed at 6100 and the complainant believes this
should be reduced to 4,000. I would like to point out on this
particular application the property is a landlocked piece of
property. It has no egress or ways of entry or exit, but the
golf range or land to the east which is not owned by Mr. King.
Island End owns this piece of landlocked land. Because Island End
is leasing the surrounding property they do have access to it but
if they wanted to sell it , it' s value would be affect because it
is landlocked. The comparison is North Fork Country Club. I 'm
just going to point out some of the pertinent facts to you. The
combined acreage on the cards of North Fork Country Club is
approximately 209 acres, including some road frontage including
water frontage etc. on the same basis I would like to point out
that Island End Golf course has a total area of approximately 109
acres. North Fork is 100 acres more in land area. Island End
does have some waterfront and we do have some road front. The
assessed valuation of the total on North Fork Country Club is
78,600 dollars and the total assessed valuation of Island End
Course is 55,300 dollars.
Sam Manarey: Sam excuse me when you are talking out evaluation
here you are including the buildings or just the land?
Chairman Markel: I 'm including everything Sam. The first
comparison I would like you to_look at is clubhouse of North Fork
Country Club which in effect is admitted that the building cost
was $900,000. on this form. I would like to show you Island' s
End Club house which is a converted barn.
Thomas Henry: Is there a dollar value on this as compared to
• North Fork?
15
Chairman Markel: The dollar value on this North Fork land and
improvements 68 ,400 as of 5/21/87. It is a combined 6 parcel for
assessing purposes. It is a very complex assessment. I think
• the comparison we have to make here is in total. Total against
total. I think that is the only way we can really compare it.
William Weinheimer: Sam wouldn' t you compare land verus land
and then clubhouse versus clubhouse for square feet of living
space? Instead of just a grand total?
Chairman Markel: Well that's up to you to decided. It is very
complex if you are going to attempt to do it that way. They have
combined 6 parcels into one of North Fork and Islands End is
still 3 parcels. In effect they are both golf courses and are
both used for the same purpose. The one exception is one is a
private country club and one is open to the public. They are
complaining on an unequal assessment. North Fork has a
sprinkling system, we have a canon watering system. We are not
asking for a decision now we are just presenting the facts as we
are doing with all other cards and then on Decision Day of
course, we will make our decision.

Chairman Markel: Let me swear you in if your are going give
testimony. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the information
you give herein will be given accurately and truthfully to the
best of ability?
Mr. Hoey: ,qty name is Joseph P. Hoey. I am here representing
my wife and sister-in-law who have had this property in their
name for, it !was left to my wife and her brother back in 1940. My
father-in-law died and during the course of time we did sell one
lot which is up in the back. "For that reason we had to file for
a subdivision which has never been our intention to do anything
about it. The reason we sold the lot is because a close personal
friend wanted this particular piece of property and eventually it
was approved in 1969. There was never any intention of disposing
property. It' s in the family, it' s a private road, we receive
services from the Town, from the other hamlets nor from the
•
16
county other than the fact that they are there and the
Environmental Protection Agency come in ever year to check out
our wetlands. We get nothing from the village, we pay whatever
Shave been the taxes and now there is a proposal by the assessors
to increase the assessment 100 percent or 120 percent. If it was
going to be sold I grant that they would be extremely valuable
pieces of property. But they are of no value. They are going to
be kept in the family till such a time when our kids or
grandchildren eventually want to build their own house then it
will go up and become a valuable piece of property. That's all I
can say about it.
Chairman Markel: Mr. Hoey, both Warren and myself are very
knowledgeable of the situation and the property we are talking
about because we knew Tom real well. As an attorney you know
that there are rules and regulations that we must follow. One of
these being that these applications be completed correctly. What
is the reason you are complaining? We need that fill in on the
application.
Mr. Hoey: I understand.
Chairman Markel: On the first application you believe the
assessment should be reduce to 700 and if you can tell me that is
66-1-7?
Mr. Hoey: Yes
Chairman Markel: This on is 66-1-8 and now -to 66-1-9. They
are going to be applications 8,9 and 10 and have been receipted
on July 19, 1988. Mr. Gordon could you tell us when was the last
time that land was assessed?
Fred Gordon: 1969.
Mr. Hoey: What happened was the estate was probated in 1940 or
41 and I think the value of the whole property which then
consisted of about 27 acres including the big house that is down
there I think there is around in the neighborhood of $50,000 for
the whole thing.
Chairman Markel: But now they are in separate titles? Is that
right? M
Mr. Hoey: Yes unfortunately. Except for the sale of that one
little piece of property it would have all been in there
including where Tom Daly had lived.
Warren Smith: It is still in the family he sold it to his
brother didn' t he?
•
17
Mr. Hoey: Yes. It is all family except for the Mc Donners.
Mr. Daly brought the whole thing in 1916. It is all straight
• land.
Chairman Markel: No houses involved. Tom do you have any
questions for Mr. Hoey? Mr. Hoey you are a part of all, or
you are part owner. .
Mr. Hoey: My wife is part owner of all. I am acting as a
representative for her.

Property: District , Section ' , Block r, Lot t� G
Owner: APO
Bases of Objections
UNLAI-IFUL
Grounds for claimed unlawfulness are :
(a. ) Assessment is arbitrary, capricious and illegal
in that the Board of Assessors has fixed assessment
without inspection to determine extent of interior
work required to complete construction and, thus ,
have no knowledge of property' s market value
or of its "condition and ownership" as of the
date of taxable status. Such procedure on the
part of the Southold Board of Assessors runs
contrary to instructions and directives issued
by the ,,Iew York State Board of Equalization
and Assessment to local assessors as a prerequisite to
equitable assessment.
The Board of Assessors has ,to date ,made no
inspection of the interior of the premises ,
despite having been put on notice that construction
is incomplete. The Board has neither made a
• request to inspect same , nor has it been denied
access. A hearing before the Board of Assessment
Review ultimately elicited a admissionthat assessors have
never made an interior inspection. Nevertheless ,
the Board of Assessment Review confirmed the
1933 assessment . While the assessors maintain
they do not use the cost approach, but do use
a "bricks and mortar" method of valuation,
In either instance , it is manifestly impossible
to assess without detailed inspection in accordance
with the State' s Board of Equalization and
Assessment's standards .
(b . ) The assessment is glade at a hi-her proportionate
valuation than the assessed valuation of other
real property in the Town of Southold on the
same Assessment Roll . Complainant ' s survey
of assessments in the Town of Southold indicates
that all reaLl_ property in the Town is not assessed
at the same p-ercentaSe of full , or market ,
value . All property, improved or vacant , regardless
of ale -or type, must be assessed at the same
percenta-e of full value. For the Board of
Assessors to pursue a con�rary policy could
constitute formulatinG an illeSal system of. .
• classificat—ion.
=;:- ( 1 . )
19
(e. ) The full value the Board of Assessors placed on the
propert by reason of the tentative assessment
is higher than its actual value resulting; in
an assessment that is $ ��higher than it
should be.
Unequal
That the said assessment of the owner' s real
property is unequal in that it has been made
at a higher proportionate valuation than the
assessed valuation on the same roll by the
same officers o othe real property in the Town
of Southold and the complainant specifies the
assessments of all real property in the Town of
Sothold and of each and every parcel thereof
upon the 1933 Assessment Roll of said Town,
other than the property of the complainant ,
as instances in which such inequity exists ,
and of the extent thereof , and the complainant
is , and wiil be , injured and agrieved by said
assesment .
Attached hereto isa partial listing of recent
market conveyances which discloses that the
tentative asessment , if finalized , will prove
to be rrrossly inequitous.
• EXCESSIVE
That the said tentative assessment of the complainant ' s
property is excessive and unjust by reason
of overvaluation in that the Board of Assessors
fixed the fuul value of the property (before
applying the percentage ratio between full
value and assessed value ) in an amount in excess
of its full value . The full value of'said property ,
before applying the proper assessment ratio,
is $,M� Applying the proper ratio between
full v lue and assessed value indicates an
assessment of $ %,�. The said overvaluation
in full value results in an overassessment
ofs .
The highest value for assessment purposes is
reproduction cost new, less depreciation, equalized.

Chairman Markel: You house is still under construction?
Under a building permit?
Emanuel Markoznas: Yes sir.
Chairman Markel: It has not been completed and you have no CO?
Emanuel Markozanis: No sir.
Chairman Markel: You claim it is a higher percentage rate? Do
you have any comparable?
Emanuel Markozas: No sir nothing.
Chairman Markel: Would you like us to get some?
Jim Bitses: The only comparable we have is the price of the
purchase of the lot for $16,000. The lot itself was purchased
for 16,000, yes as I indicated.
Chairman Markel: You don't have the card for this now, so I would
like to request it so we can make a judgement.
Jim Bitses: Let me explain Sam. The house is under
construction. At this time there is no kitchen in it, there are
bathroom fixtures but no water connections. We anticipate it
will be another six months before the house is completed and the
house is inhabitable condition. Now it' s already had one raise
in assessment while it was under construction. I assume that the
assessment is made once when the house is completed, now another
thing about this house, it is a hugehouse, but it consists of
1500 square feet of living space and no more. It has a large
garage, which is a place for his boats and his lobster traps. It
has a big cellar but it an empty cellar. The point is when
completed 1500 square feet of living space. I designed it. It
looks big. It has a white brick facing on the front, which makes
it look bigger. It is really a small house with a garage and
breeze-way. They put in a twelve foot cellar down there they
put in a steel beam to hold the floor up, but it' s still a cellar.
Sam Manarel: You said it has white brick facing?
Jim Bitses: Veneer. Now there' s one thing that's beautiful in
my opinion_»inside there' s a fireplace cobbles, beautiful job.
Chairman. Markel: Fireplaces are extra.
T
William Weillimer: What does-he have a partial assessment?
Chairman Markel: They don' t final assess a piece of property
until a CO has been issued.
Sam Manarel: You started the house in 1985?
21
Emanuel Markozanis: Yes sir
• Sam Manarel: I think the assessment progresses as you make
progress on the building.
Chairman Markel: Yes and that' s what they have done.
Jim Bitses: It's still uninhabited.
Sam Manarel: I 'm wondering what the assessment would be if the
house were ready for occupancy.
Chairman Markel: The Assessor' s have not made that decision
yet. They don't do that until the CO is granted.
William Weinheimer: Do they have area square feet on the back
of this?
Chairman Markel: Are there any questions you would like to ask
on this Tom?
Thomas Henry: Only the issue raised before about the ceiling in
the basement? I didn't understand the reason for it.
Jim Bitses: No, because of a mistake made by the guy that
poured the concrete we ended up with a twelve foot ceiling in the
cellar.The windows you see are only bedrooms in the house the two
windows below are to bring light into this unusable cellar.
• Chairman Markel: We make no decisions today. Today we examine
the facts. We will meet within the next two weeks and at that
time we will ascertain the validity of your claim. We will let
you know by mail what our decision is going to be. We are not
the final word if you are not satisfied with our decision one way
or the other you always have the right to go to small claims
court or to the State Supreme Court. These are just facts that I
tell everybody. This is what I tell everybody. It is standard
procedure on that basis we will advise you when we reach a
decision on this claim.

Part Two A 2 ( d)
An analysis of comparable properties on the assessment roll
based upon recent conveyances and sales prices ( including also
conveyances of vacant land) indicate that the current assessment
.ratio in Southold Town is approximately l..5%(5ee sample comparables
listed on the second page hereof. )
Part Two B 1
The tentative assessment is excessive and unjust by reason
overvaluation in that the Board of Assessors fixed the full valueof
the property (before applying the percentage ratio between full and
assessed value) in an amount in excess of its full value. The full
value of the property , before applying the proper assessment ratio ,
• is $2yi0,000.00 . Applying the prover ratio between full value and
assessed value indicates an assessment- or $3 ,750. 00. Tile said over-
valuation in full value results in an overassessment of $6 ,150 .00.
Tile highest allowable value for assessment purposes is reproduction
cost , new , fess depreciation , equalized .
Part Two C E�
Assessment is arbitrary , capricious and illegal in that Lila Board
of Assessors has fixed the assessment without inspection and, thus ,
have no knowledge of the prnpf?rty ' s market value or of its conditic
as of the date of taxable status. Such . procedure• is of questionable

Sam Manarel: The assessed valuation of the property $9900 ;
• according to the assessment card. I see they are using different
ratios here, how to arrive at their figures, but they don't use
the same measuring stick that the assessors use.
Chairman Markel: This a one story and a half house and it has
a $4.25 rate and he has an extension on the first story $3 .00 .
I 'm not sure how they can have so many rates and arrive at a
figure.
William Weinheimer: There's two stories and they are only
assessing at $4. 25.
Thomas Henry: One and a half stories, there' s a dormer up there.
William Weinheimer: That's the extension they are assessing
that at $3 .00 . They are assessing $1 .25 for the garage.
Thomas Henry: Addition to the garage $1.50, I wonder what that
is?
William Weinheimer: It' s probably a shop or a work place.
Chairman Markel: Does anyone have any more questions or
comments on this application? No questions, then we will ,
consider this for Decision Day. .
• Charles Cuddy Esq. : I have three applications to submit could
you please date stamp them and make copies for me? The property
numbers are: 1000-49-1-25.1, 1001-7-1-16 and 1000-55-5-7.
Chairman Markel: Yes, One is for Andrew Michael.
Charles Cuddy, Esq. : They are all the same company, they are
different properties.
Chairman Markel: You have full value of property 600,000 and
you have complainants believes the assessment should be reduced
to 10,000. Do you happen to know what the assessment is that
they have received from the assessor?
Charles Cuddy, Esq. : By using the equalization rate
probably somewhere in excess of $750,000. Here' s what the
assessment was $42700.
Chairman Markel: And that' s' ori the first one 49-1-25. 1?
Charles Cuddy, Esq. : There are three properties involved.
These properties are up on route 48. They are new commercial
complex of eleven stories, they is only one of those rented. The
other two are tied together they are Pike Cove Condominium on
Sixth Street, but they are divided in half because half is in the

the Assessor's Office. It was recommended by the Assessor' s that
there be a deduction of 10% for depreciation. It was then
decided that since the Assessor's had only made an inspection
from the outside that a depreciation of 25% would be more in line
with the property.
• This reduction was then voted on by the members.
