Erie-Western Pennsyl v. nia Port Authority and Commodore Perry Yacht Club

MARY HANNAH LEAVITT, President Judge

AMENDMENT ORDER

AND NOW, this 4th day of September, 2019, upon consideration of the School District of the City of Erie's application for reargument and Commodore Perry Yacht Club's answer thereto, it is ORDERED that the application is DENIED. The Court's opinion in the above matter, filed July 12, 2019, is AMENDED to read as follows:

Page 11, third paragraph:

The School District argues that Lloyd's expert testimony constituted "more than sufficient competent evidence" to overcome the presumed validity of the taxing authority's assessed value. School District Brief at 42. Lloyd's evaluation was based upon "market data" collected from his "extensive research on the marketplace." School District Brief at 32-33. Notably, the School District's brief does not address Maas' opinion on market value. Maas testified that he established a value of $8,283 per boat slip based upon the revenue a slip generates in the Erie marina market. However, that did not end his analysis. Maas also considered the location of the marina, "looked at the values across the waterfront" and determined the value "by neighborhooding them to what we could find in the marketplace of property that sold over time." N.T., 11/21/2017, at 10. The School District does not explain how Maas' analysis was flawed, and neither did Lloyd. The trial court rejected Lloyd's market value opinion as overstated and, thus, did not rebut the Board's assessment.



In all other respects, the opinion and order shall remain in effect.
