Appraisal Report

The appellants against the Iola Car Show Sand Mine hired Kurt Kielisch of The Forensic Appraisal Group in Neenah for a property appraisal. Kurt analyzed the impact of the proposed Faulks Bros. sand mine on area properties and produced the following report.

Everyone is welcome to read and use the report for themselves. The Waupaca County Board acknowledged that property values would go down with the sand mine so close to homes, but could not agree to the exact impact and thus passed this part of the requirements on a 3-2 vote. The requirement from Waupaca County Ordinance Chapter 34.14.5.1(b) says that the mine can not affect the use, value and enjoyment of existing or future uses, so we completely disagree with the BOA's assessment. Home Values WILL go down and now only time will tell how much those home prices will go down with the sand mine there for the next 11+ years.

Enjoy the report.
