Real Estate Taxes Paid in 1995 for Calvine 120/140
In the late 1960s, petitioner purchased two properties
identified as Calvine 120 and Calvine 140 (Calvine 120/140).6
When he purchased Calvine 120/140, a dairy and two houses were
located on the properties. Petitioner continued to rent Calvine
120/140 to the same tenant. At the time of purchase, Calvine
120/140 was zoned for agricultural and residential development
purposes. Petitioner purchased Calvine 120/140 for income
purposes.
In 1975, the County condemned the dairy farm because cow
urine caused problems with a nearby stream, so petitioner used
Calvine 120/140 as a cow pasture. The County did not fix the
drainage on Calvine 120/140; therefore, petitioner could not
develop these properties.
In 1982, the County changed the zoning for Calvine 120/140
to light industrial. In 1992, the County again changed the
zoning to special planned development (SPA). The SPA zoning
allowed only certain areas of Calvine 120/140 to be zoned as
commercial, residential, and recreational. Petitioner did not
advocate the zoning changes. In 1995, however, petitioner
attempted to change the zoning from SPA to residential because
6 Calvine 120 consisted of approximately 120 acres at
Calvine Road, and Calvine 140 consisted of approximately 140
acres at Calvine Road.
