List the separate and specific facts upon which Petitioner relies to support the relief requested (attach additional page if necessary): The assessment by Respondent of the subject project is arbitrary and discriminatory, based on the wrong principles, and otherwise unlawful as being contrary to the General Property Tax Act and Tax Tribunal Act for the following reasons: a. Respondent has failed to identify the nature of the property being assessed; b. The subject property is assessed in an amount greater than 50% of its true cash value; c. Respondent did not assess the subject property taking into account the accepted methods of determining true cash value; d. The subject property is subject to restrictions, and said restrictions severely restrict the market value of the project. However, the restrictions were not taken into account by Respondent in making the assessment, even though Respondent was clearly required to do so, pursuant to Michigan law; and e. The assessment, including state equalized value and/or taxable value, and the mode of assessment adopted by Respondent, discriminate against Petitioner and deny Petitioner its constitutional rights to uniformity, equal protection and due process of law.
