Avon board denies request to reduce assessed value of Russell Speeders Car Wash building
Summary
Represented by Rebecca Patterson of McGuire Sponsel, Russell Speeders sought a $416,834 reduction based on greater depreciation; the Board of Assessment Appeals found the claimed depreciation excessive and unanimously denied the requested assessment change.
At the March 2 meeting the Town of Avon Board of Assessment Appeals denied a request to lower the assessed value of the Russell Speeders Car Wash building at 265 W Main Street.
Rebecca Patterson of McGuire Sponsel represented the property owner and argued the building’s value was too high under the cost approach, disputing the depreciation schedule and requesting a reduction of $416,834. The board reviewed Patterson’s presentation, concluded the depreciation claimed was excessive for a building currently being used for its intended purpose, and found the structure well maintained and in good condition.
On a motion by Jeffrey Maguire, seconded in the transcript by "Eric Dawson," the board voted unanimously to deny a change in assessment, determining the building’s assessed value was fair and equitable. The town transcript lists the seconder as "Eric Dawson" while the meeting attendance lists "Erin Dawson"; the article uses the attendance list spelling and records the transcript inconsistency in provenance and audit notes.
The denial leaves the building’s assessment unchanged; the board did not record any follow-up actions or conditions at the meeting.
