NEW HANOVER COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION AND REVIEW
The 1974 Board of Equalization and Review met on Monday,
April 8, 1974, in the Assembly Room, County Commission Bud ding,
Wilmington, North Carolina.
At 9 00 a.m. Mr James McKeithan, Clerk of Superior Court,
administered the Oath of Office to the Board members. Mr. W.
Douglas Powell, Mr. J M. Hall, Jr., Mr. Peter R. Davis, Mr. M. H.
Vaughan, and Mrs. Vivian S Wright were all sworn In at this time.
Copy of Oath attached.
Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by Mr. Davis, that Mr.
Powell serve as chairman of the Board of Equalization and Review.
Upon vote, this motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Larry Powell stated that there had been two additions
to the agenda since It was mailed to the Board members. The first
was a request from Figure Eight Island Company in reference to
their listing penalty. A copy of their letter had been given to
each Board member. The other complaint is from Mr. H. B. Shaw
in reference to his property at Redcross and Sixth Street.
Mr. Shaw well be represented by his lawyer, Mr. Morgan, and they
are scheduled for approximately 10 15.
Mr. Powell presented the letter from Figure Eight Island
Company in which they requested that their listing penalty be
released. They listed their property on March 26, 1974 after
being contacted several times by the Tax Office. This listing
included their real estate, but as of this date the office has
not received their business listings. As was stated in their
letter, they were In the process of changing ownership during
the first of the year, and therefore had many problems pertaining
to the ownership change. They are requesting that the listing
penalty of approximately $876 be released. Mrs Wright asked
if they had requested an extension for the listing period. Mr.
Powell stated that they did not ask for this extension and did
not make any contact with the office until the Tax Office began
calling them in March. Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by
Mrs. Wright, that the request for the release of the listing
penalty he denied. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Powell presented the complaint from Altamahaw Hosiery
Mills, Inc. T/A Burger Chef on Market Street. The building has
been vacant for two years. The Tax Office has it appraised at
$69,030, and the owner is presently offering it for sale for
$128,000. Mr Powell recommended that no reduction be made at
this time but that we review the property during the next general
revaluation from the income approach, if they do not have it
leased at that time Mrs. Wright made the motion, seconded by
Mr. Hall, that the valuation remain the same. Upon vote, motion
carried unanimously.
Mr, Powell presented Mrs. A. H. Yopp's complaint concerning
her property at Wilmington Beach There is no access to the
property, and it is underwater during high tide. Mr Powell
recommended that the valuation be reduced by 70o and be appraised
at $430 Mr. Vaughan made the motion that the value be changed
to $430. There was general discussion as to the difference in
the valuation of this lot and the $100 valuation placed on the
lot at Carolina Beach, which was the next item to be discussed.
The difference In the valuation is based on the fact that the
lot at Carolina Beach is underwater all of the time. Mr Vaughan's
motion was seconded by Mr Davis. Chairman Powell then questioned
the reasoning for the 70o reduction Mr. Powell explained that the
topo reduction of 35o and the fact that there was no access to the
property (350) was their reasoning for this reduction. Mr. Davis
then withdrew his second to the motion and made a substitute
motion that the valuation be reduced by 900 or to $100. He then
restated his motion to reduce the valuation to $100. There was
general discussion concerning the value of the lot to the adjoining
owner, who does have a cottage on his lot. This ocean-front lot
would add more depth to his lot. Mrs. Wright made a substitute
motion, seconded by Mr. Vaughan, that the $430 valuation be ac-
cepted. Upon vote, substitute motion was approved as follows
Voting Aye Mr. Hall, Mr. Vaughan, Mrs. Wright,
and Chairman Powell
Voting Noe Mr. Davis
Mr. Powell presented Mr Archie Crotts' complaint concerning
his lot at Carolina Beach. Mr. Powell's recommendation was to
reduce the valuation of the lot to $100 as it is underwater at
all times, and it is at the north end of the beach. Mr Vaughan
made the motion, seconded by Mr. Hall, that the lot's valuation
be reduced to $100. Upon vote, motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Powell presented Mrs. J. E. Southerland's complaints
concerning her property on Meares Street and Keaton Avenue He
reviewed this property and found that her houses did need general
maintenance work but there was nothing that constituted a reduction
in valuation. If the regular maintenance work was kept up, there
would be no problems. Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by Mr.
Vaughan, that the request be denied pending the upcoming revaluation.
Upon vote, motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Powell recessed the meeting for a break from 9 20
to 9 30 a.m.
Mr. H. R. Clark presented Springer Coal ~ Oil Company's
complaint concerning their property on Dawson Street. Mr. Powell
stated that after comparing this lot with adjoining properties,
it appears that Southern Appraisal Company used the incorrect
front foot value. His recommendation was to reduce the valuation
to $31,970. Chairman Powell made the motion, seconded by Mr.
Davis, to accept the Tax Office's recommendation to reduce the
value to $31,970. Upon vote, motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Henry Bost and Mr. Nathaniel L. Bost presented the com-
plaint concerning property owned by the Church of the Good Shepherd.
They are requesting an exemption from 1974 taxes on their property
described as Lot 103 Arrowhead Subdivision which is used as their
rectory. This property was not conveyed to them until January 25,
1974. Mr. Vaughan made the motion that the Church not be required
to pay taxes from January 25th forward, but with the understanding
that this motion is made without formal legal opinion. If formal
legal opinion is so rendered, motion will have no effect. Chairman
Powell asked Mr. Powell if it was Mr. Fox's opinion that legally
there were no grounds for the change. Mr. Powell stated that Mr.
Fox said that he was in full agreement, that if the Church did not
own the property at the first of the year, they would not be exempt.
Mr. Vaughan restated his motion that the taxes on the rectory be
abated at the proper time and he explained that this motion was
made without formal legal opinion. Mr. Davis seconded Mr. Vaughan's
motion. His reasoning was stated that if property was transferred
after July 1 from a charitable to a non-charitable organization,
it would not be taxed for the entire year, thus, property purchased
for non-taxable use before July 1 should have the same classifica-
tion. Mr. Vaughan questioned his restated motion. Mrs. Wright
made a substitute motion, seconded by Chairman Powell, that the
Church not be exempted. Mr. Hall made an amendment to the original
motion that the motion be subject to legal approval. Mr. Davis
then questioned the substitute motion Mrs. Wright withdrew her
substitute motion and Chairman Powell withdrew his second. The
Board members then voted on Mr. Vaughan's original motion that the
Church be exempt from taxes from January 25th forward, if legally
possible Upon vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Davis then
made the motion that the Church be exempted from taxes from January
25th forward. Mr. Vaughan seconded the motion, but then withdrew
his second. Motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. W. L. Burkheimer presented the complaint concerning the
property owned by the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows. This
organization requested that they be exempt because they use their
property for charitable and benevolent purposes. Mr. Powell stated
that Attorney General Morgan has concluded that a charitable organi-
zation must actually conduct the charitable functions within the
building itself to be considered wholly and exclusively used for
charitable purposes. In the case of the Odd Fellows, they use
their property for their meeting place. Mr. Burkheimer explained
the charitable purposes of their organization. They give relief
to the sick, distressed, orphans, elderly, and others who are in
need throughout the community. They use their building on 26th
Street as a meeting place to plan their charitable projects. Their
building on the corner of 26th and Market Streets is used as a
storage building. Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by Chairman
Powell, that it be held in abeyance until after the Legislature
adjourns. Upon vote, the motion carried as follows•
Voting Aye Mr. Hall, Mr. Davis, Mr. Vaughan,
and Chairman Powell
Voting Noe Mrs. Wright
Mr. W. L. Shaw, Jr. and his attorney, Mr. Richard M. Morgan,
appeared before the Board to present their complaint concerning
the property known as John H. Shaw's Funeral Home on Redcross
Street. The present valuation on the property is $44,400. The
petitioners believe that this is higher than fair market value,
which they feel is $26,000. Mr. Morgan stated that the building
is twenty years old and the location of the property has declined
in the last several years. He stated that property around the
funeral home has been sold recently for much less than the tax
value. Mr. Powell recommended that the valuation remain the same,
and that the whole section be reviewed during the general re-
valuation. Mr. Morgan called the Board's attention to General
Statute 105-287, which states that the value of the property may
be reassessed if it has decreased in value to the extent of more
than one hundred dollars by virtue of circumstances external to
the property other than increases or decreases in the general
economy of the county since the last appraisal. He stated that
this law applies in this case. The neighborhood has declined
even though the general economy of the county has not. Mr. Eller
reported that it was Mr. Fox's opinion that the general depressed
nature of a neighborhood was too general an argument to reduce
the value. If you were to reduce it on that basis, we would be
in a constant reappraisal situation on every piece of property,
both up and down. If there was a solid, factual development that
took place, such as the closing of a street or the construction
of a highway, that would be construed as reason to change the
value. But the argument that the general neighborhood has de-
clined is not sufficient to reduce the value under this statute.
Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Wright, that the request
be denied, but that particular attention be paid to the property
for the revaluation. Upon vote, motion was approved as follows
Voting Aye Mr. Hall, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Wright,
and Chairman Powell
Voting Noe Mr. Vaughan
Mr. Hall made the motion, seconded by Mr. Vaughan, that the
meeting be adjourned inasmuch as they had reviewed all business
that had come before the Board of Equalization and Review. Upon
vote, motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Powell adjourned the meeting at 10 50 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Patricia J. Raynor
