Jamie Foley (introduced by the clerk) presented an assessment appeal. She said the house is an expanded Cape raised after Hurricane Sandy to meet FEMA requirements, that renovations were primarily a cosmetic front "facelift," and that the assessor compared her home to larger new builds. Foley provided six comparable sales, described the basement as non-usable storage after elevation, and said the property backs to the town transfer station, wastewater treatment and a landfill, causing odors and noise that reduce market value.
