MJ's Neverland faces permit changes

SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) — Pop. star Michael Jackson’s bid to
remove unapproved development on part of his 2,600-acre
Neverland Ranch from state agricultural protections was
approved by Santa Barbara County officials.
Jackson has received tax breaks — about
$70,000 a year — on the Santa Ynez Valley
ranch for a decade.
The Board of Supervisors, meeting in
Santa Maria on Tuesday, voted 4-0 to
accept Jackson’s offer to remove his house,
amusement park, zoo and several other
structures from the state Williamson Act
agricultural preserve program. About 70
acres are involved.
The board’s decision follows a county

Parrotheads would likely have to pay annual license feesd|
about $1,000, said Jerry Bailey, a spokesman for BMI.
Besides the bar, the lawsuit names former owner Gary
Neumann and Triple L. Inc. as defendants.
Neumann was out of town, his wife said Wednesday when If*
Associated Press called seeking comment. There was nonur-
ber for Triple L. Inc. in Indianapolis listings. The phone:
Parrotheads rang unanswered.
Scores of nightclubs and restaurants in Indianapolis pte
music without paying licensing fees, and the lawsuit could le;
some to reconsider karaoke and live music shows, If
Indianapolis Star reported.
“Everyone will be watching to see how this turns out," said (fc
jockey Justin Posav of GTI Sounds in Noblesville. “Manvoftte

investigation that found Jackson had failed to file building permits
on much of the development on his Neverland estate over the
past 10 years.
“The permits that should have been filed are for everything
from a gatehouse and a three-car garage to a primate center, a
go-cart track, seven rides at his amusement park and a giant out
door movie screen,” county planner Larry Appel said.
Supervisors are still considering legal action to collect back
taxes and possibly fines for permit and zoning violations.
Under provisions of the Williamson Act, created to protect
ranchers and farmers, Jackson’s tax payments will gradually be
increased over a nine-year period beginning in January.
The county assessor put the 2002-03 assessed value of the
Neverland Ranch at $12.3 million, which will rise by about $6
million without the tax break. Jackson’s property taxes this
year were estimated at about $130,000 but they will rise to
about $200,000.
Jackson legitimately leases most of Neverland Ranch property
to a cattle-ranching operation.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A music licensing agency that repre
sents singers such as Sheryl Crow and Doily Parton has filed a
federal copyright lawsuit that could silence karaoke nights in cen
tral Indiana.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis,
Broadcast Music Inc. alleges an eastside bar violated copyright
laws by hosting karaoke and live music shows without paying
licensing fees to use popular songs.
New York-based BMI is a performance rights organization that
collects license fees on behalf of songwriters when their music is
played on radio, television, the Internet, or is performed publicly.
The lawsuit claims that Parrotheads Bar and Grill failed to pay
licensing fees for using songs such as “God Bless the USA” and
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Nashville court has freedlf
release 150 “lost songs” recorded by country star Ha:
Williams.
The catalog was ruled to be the exclusive property of
heirs-son Hank Williams Jr. and daughter Jett Williams.
Since the late 1980s, Jett Williams has had transcript
discs of pre-produced segments that Williams recorded
1951.
The discs contain live versions of 40 songs that were nevij
commercially released, such as “On Top of Old Smokey'
“Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain."
Through publicist Kirt Webster, Hank Williams Jr. said oft
resolution, “It worked out the way Daddy would’ve wanted.”
Hank Williams would have celebrated his 80th birthday
Sept. 17.
He was found dead in the back seat of his Cadillac on Ne
Year’s Day 1953. The cause of death was ruled as heart failt
read the fine print.
