NEW BUSINESS Sea Mist correspondence. Mason streebel reported on the receipt of correspondence from John Livingston, General Manager of the sea Mist Resort located t 141 Great Neck Road South, dated 9/20/11. The letter was in response to the request from the Board of Assessors for income and expense information for the sea Mist timeshare resort. Mr. Livingston states in his letter that the condominium complex is predominantly owner-occupied and the units are owned by multiple individual owners and not the management company, thereby negating the need for the income and expense statement. In a draft response letter to Mr. Livingston dated 9/23/11, Jason Streebel states that the Board of Assessors Is following Dept. of Revenue Guidelines and MA. General Laver Ch. 183B, 3(b), whereby the Board of Assessors must asess the ownership of the property as one whole entity to the management company. This data is necessary so that the Board of Assessors may fairly and equitably assess the property. Failure to comply with the income and expense request will bar the taxpayer's right of appeal at the Appellate Tax Board and could result in a penalty fee of$250 applied to the subject property's next tax bill.
