RALEIGH - Anna Wood Ragland, whose life was devoted to her family, friends, church and to com ¬ PUB Continued from 1A “Hood recommends council contract with the appraiser to update the appraisal.” Knighton added that a May 2016 site survey “shows more land in what we refer to as the Conger tract, more land on the west side of the building, where the Sunfish boats are stored and more land on the east side that con tains parking spaces and finally a few more feet on the north side of the build ing. The appraiser should review the new survey and make a determination if this additional land affects the value of the property. The appraiser will also consider whether market conditions have changed that may or may not affect the value of the property.” Knighton advised the council members in the memo that “it is likely you would receive the new ap praisal in time for your Jan. 9 meeting and when the two new council mem bers are in place. Decisions would then have to be made whether to proceed and subsequently call for a public hearing conceivably in late January.” Monday night’s vote in favor of seeking an updated appraisal from Piner came after Councilman Steve Biggs and Councilman El ton Bond both expressed support for opening up the process for other apprais ers who might wish to ap ply for the position. “I honestly think if we’re going to do it and do it right, let’s throw it out there and do it right,” Biggs said in urging his fellow council members to reject the pro posal to keep the same ap praiser in place in the inter est of transparency in local government. Biggs, Bond and Simp son have expressed their opposition to a brew pub at that location. Bond noted that the council had already spent several years on this par- 7 think the people are ready to see this (brew pub) come to Edenton. The young people in the community want it to happen.” Sambo Dixon Councilman ticular issue and that a new appraisal could increase the value of the property. “What’s the harm in a few more months?” he asked. Councilmen Sambo Dixon and Jimmy Stallings were equally adamant in their support of keeping the same appraiser on the job so that the process could continue to move ahead. Dixon said he viewed the reappraisal simply as an update to the original document. “I think the people are ready to see this (brew pub) come to Edenton,” he said. “The young people in the community want it to happen.” Stallings expressed frus tration with the slow pace surrounding the sale of the property. “We have used every de lay tactic known to man,” he said. “The building has been sitting empty for two or three years.” Stallings pointed out that any property that sits empty for years cannot re tain its value when deterio ration is inevitable. Following the discussion Councilman Bob Quinn an nounced that he planned to abstain from casting a vote on the issue. He did not of fer a reason. Knighton said that meant Quinn’s abstention would count as a “yes” vote lead ing to the tie vote that was broken by the mayor. “I vote in favor of the mo tion,” Vaughan announced after casting his vote. After the meeting Quinn explained his vote in an email to the Chowan Her ald. In it he said he clearly understood the impact his action would have and that it would offer the mayor the opportunity to break the tie vote that would re ¬ sult. “From the outset of the decision to appraise the Ice House (Conger Build ing) over two years ago, I opposed the appraisal ap proach to be used,” Quinn said. “Minutes will show my desire not to appraise the property in the manner shown. My contention was that the approach of the commercial value apprais al proposed would deliver only a ‘bricks and mortar’ value. I knew it would not be appraised based on its location, aesthetic poten tial, waterfront, scenic value, etc. That has been an ongoing concern for me, seeing an exceptionally valuable town asset being sold at what I consider well below market value.” “By voting (as I did) I did not agree with a ‘yes’ to the repeat of what I have from the outset considered an inappropriate procedure,” Quinn added. “I knew the mayor would be able, if he chose, to break a tie. This would provide him with the tie breaking ‘yes’ vote. It was a simple way to respect my concern without upsetting use of the original appraiser or stopping the procedure as outlined.” Quinn said in taking the action he did, he was moti vated by doing what he felt “best reflected my personal respect for my responsibil ity as a councilman.” Several council mem bers asked prior to the vote taken whether they could vote on the question of whether they could hire a new appraiser but were told they could not. Only the question of whether to keep the existing appraiser was on the table for a vote because that was the only item listed on the agenda for the special meeting relating to the brewpub, Knighton said. “To solicit different ap praisals was not on the agenda,” she said. In a statement provided Sunday to the Chowan Her ald, Burroughs called the necessary reappraisal “a win-win situation” for the town as well as Glover who munity service, died Saturday, November 25, 2017 at her home.

Thank you. wants to put a brewpub at the site, and the sailing program supported by the Yacht Club. “The original $282,000 appraisal, which Mr. Glover accepted, was for the foot print of the main building and the Sunfish building which was .27 acres and did not include the sailboat storage area south of the Sunfish building,” said Bur roughs, a member of the Edenton Yacht Club. Burroughs said it also provided only a 6 foot wide area along the north or Wa ter Street side of the main building, which is not wide enough for vehicle passage. At Glover’s latest presenta tion to the council Glover expressed his desire to not negatively impact the sail ing program and according ly had moved the kitchen from the Sunfish building into the main building. Since. Glover no longer needs the Sunfish building for the kitchen, Burrough’s said, if the western bound ary of the property to be appraised was moved east erly to be adjacent to the main building, the Sunfish building and the sailboat storage area would remain in Town ownership, thus in suring the future of the sail ing program. This would give Glover the main build ing plus the additional area on the north side. Since the land area for this parcel is .26 acres, the appraisal value should be very close to the original value. “Glover gets the building and land area that he needs at close to the previously agreed price, the Town re tains the property for the sailing program and it’s a win-win situation,” Bur roughs said.

Anna Wood Ragland was born November 29, 1922 in Edenton, NC, the daughter of the late John Gilliam Wood, Jr. and Leila May Budlong Wood. Her brother was John Gilliam Wood, III. Growing up in Edenton, she graduated from Edenton High School, St. Mary’s College in Raleigh and Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynch burg, VA. After working in New York City, Anna Wood was married July 22, 1944 in Edenton to William Trent Ragland, Jr., of Raleigh, who was then serving as a Lieutenant, US Navy, in World War H. The first year of their married life was spent at Annapolis, MD, where her husband attended the Postgraduate School of the U.S. Naval Academy. Following the end of WWH, the Raglands re turned to North Carolina where her husband Trent went to work for Superior Stone Company (later Martin Marietta Aggregates, Southeast Division), founded by Trent’s father and uncle. So began Anna Wood Ragland’s remarkable life as the wife of an active, hard-working and successful businessman in the crushed stone business for 42 years. After living in Charlotte for eight years, where they began their family, the Raglands moved to Ra leigh in 1953. As husband Trent often said, Anna Was always there, supporting and encouraging him, coordinating the family life, guiding and in spiring the children and doing what needed to be done for her husband and family. Whether doing routine work at home, or en tertaining CEOs or other leaders of major corpo rations, sometimes on a moment’s notice, Anna Ragland was a trusted and invaluable partner to her husband, and contributed greatly to his distin guished business career. With her eye and passion for beauty, Mrs. Ragland delighted in nothing more than improving the world around her, whether by designing new construction or arranging flowers. During years of community service, Mrs. Rag land was an active member of the Junior League of Raleigh, served as Honorary Chairman of the Debutante Ball in 1974, and served as a docent at the North Carolina Museum of Art. She support ed her husband when he established the William Trent Ragland, Jr. Foundation, which has made generous contributions to many charitable and ed ucational institutions and organizations in North Carolina and elsewhere. Mrs. Ragland enjoyed a lifetime love of Edenton and her family home, Hayes. Because of this great love, she was honored in 1999 by her husband with the establishment of the Anna Wood Ragland Li brary Fund at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Proceeds of the fund support the North Carolina Collection at the Wilson Library where the contents of the renowned Hayes Library are now located in a reproduction of the original Edenton Hayes library. Later in life, in addition to their home in Ra leigh, Anna and Trent Ragland eryoyed a home in Roaring Gap, NC during the summer months, and a home in John’s Island, FL for wintertime. As ac tive residents in three communities, they made new friends, renewed old friendships and joined in community and club activities. Anna Ragland belonged to many clubs and organizations, includ ing the National Society of the Colonial Dames, the Carolina Country Club, Roaring Gap Club; John’s Island Club, Country Club of North Carolina, and others. Surviving Mrs. Ragland, are two daughters: Anna Ragland Hayes, Chapel Hill; Alice McKenzie Rag land and her husband, Duff McAdams, Raleigh; and a son, William Trent Ragland HI, and his wife, Wes Taylor Ragland, Raleigh. There are four grandchildren: John Patrick Keenan, McKenzie Keenan Osman, Mary Suiter Ragland and William Trent Ragland IV. Also sur viving are three nieces: Heide Wood Seward, Jody Ragland Darden and Betty Ragland Park, and three nephews, John Gilliam Wood IV, Edward Wood and Bill Ragland. Two great-grandchildren also survive: Guinevere Keenan and Smith Osman.
