Oregon Tax Court Magistrate Division <br /> Page 1, Section 3 Continuation <br /> Such order, letter, or notice is in error because: <br /> Since 2017, the City of Salem will not approve connection to sewer main that runs in front of the <br /> property. We contracted with a construction development company for work performed on our <br /> property to install the sanitary sewer service as drawn by an Oregon engineer. We paid the <br /> contractor$52,896.17 for said installation and materials. <br /> The Sewer main runs in front of the property from the city main on Skyline Road. The City of <br /> Salem will not approve connection to sewer main that runs in front of the property. The Sewer <br /> main runs in front of the property and services an adjacent home to the west. We were told to <br /> decommission the existing septic tank and that we would be allowed to connect to the sewer <br /> line that runs in front of the home. But when it came time to obtain a permit from the city it was <br /> denied. This has been ongoing issue since the property was purchased 6 years ago. The City of <br /> Salem has verbally not permitted connection to the main. Because of this issue, we have not <br /> been able to sell, rent or physically live in the home. We have been paying the property taxes in <br /> full for the 6 years that we have owned it. As well we have paid for all utilities. We feel it would <br /> be appropriate to have a reduction in the property taxes since the home is inhabitable. <br /> Property location: 2315 Quail Run Ln S, Salem, OR <br /> Owner: Equity Investments, LLC, <br /> Debra Shaffer, Manager <br /> 2660 West Valley Rd. <br /> Midvale, ID 83645 <br /> 307-250-3860 <br />
