Messenger-Inquirer from Owensboro, Kentucky (2024)

REGION 3C MESSENGER-INQUIRER, Owensboro, May 9. 1982 DDGEST PLANNING COMMISSION State's automobile owners get new titles next year i i Fiscal Court. Denied a request by I.R.C. Properties for a lot division involving 2.03 acres at 2420 Par-rish Ave. because the plan does not comply with subdivision regulations.

Postponed a request by Richard Kelly Sr. and Richard Kelly Jr. for a lot division involv-. ing 9.254 acres on Kentucky 54 East because the plan does not comply with subdivision regulations. Approved a request by Martin-Thompson Inc.

for final plat approval of a unit of Old Mill Subdivision. Approved a request by Sigmacon Division of General Mills Restaurant Group Inc. for the release of $24,000 in bond that was posted to cover the cost of landscaping at Red Lobster restaurant. Approved the commission's fiscal 1983 budget of $413,989, which is down from this year's budget of $415,506. The new budget is to include a 6 percent pay raise for planning staff members.

The Owensboro Metropolitan Planning Commission took the following actions at its Saturday meeting: Recommended for approval a request by Bowen Tire Co. to rezone 0.25 acres at 718 E. Fifth St. from inner-city residential to general business. The application still needs approval from the Owensboro City Commission.

Recommended for approval a request by William R. Jagoe III to rezone 1.265 acres at 750 Chuck Gray Court from general business to multifamily residential. The application still needs approval from the Owensboro City Commission. Recommended for approval a request by Robert Anderson to rezone 1.272 acres at U.S. 60 East and the Wendell Ford Expressway from neighborhood business center to general business.

The application was approved on condition that access for a new McDonald's restaurant be restricted to Commerce Drive. The application still needs approval from Daviess car to confirm the information, and any financing agency involved will fill out part of the form. The local county clerk will then feed the information to the state's central computer and mail the paperwork to Frankfort, and the title will be mailed from Frankfort, Runke said. Keeping the forms in Frankfort, rather than everywhere cars are registered, also will make things more difficult for car thieves, he said. "You don't get 130-some offices out there distributing very valuable negotiable paper.

It will be in one place. I think just basic common sense will tell you it's easier to control one location and one source than it is 130." The title system will not affect the purchase and annual renewal of license plates. "The registration and renewal process will be separate and distinct," Runke said. "One is for the use of the roads; the other is to prove ownership." But he said that by 1984, renewals will be staggered throughout the year according to the vehicle-owner's birth month to cut congestion at county clerk's offices and make that process easier. "After that, any time anyone would buy, sell or trade a vehicle, it would go through the titling process," Runke said.

It's a one-time chore, he said. "The title is like the deed to any other piece of property. You put it in a lockbox or whatever until the next time you get ready to sell the vehicle." That will make it harder to sell stolen vehicles, he added. With the present system, he said, "If a person happened to steal a vehicle that happened to have our certificate of title and registration in it, and there was no lien on it, he could just take it anywhere and forge a signature and sell the vehicle." People do not have to get titles next year for vehicles they already own. "If an individual has a car now and does not sell or trade it and keeps it until it dies and they graveyard it, these would never have to go through the new titling process," Runke said.

"But when they bought a vehicle to replace that one, they would then go through it." Getting a title will start with filling out an application. The local sheriffs office will check the By BILL BERGSTROM Associated Press FRANKFORT If you buy a car next year, you'll be among the first to get one of Kentucky's new auto titles. The General Assembly passed a law last session to require a title as proof of vehicle ownership, instead of the combination title and registration certificate used now. The other 49 states have similar laws, and police have long complained that Kentucky was a haven for car thieves because it lacked a title requirement. The Bureau of Vehicle Regulation will be ready to start issuing titles early next year, Commissioner James F.

Runke said last week. "The implementation plan is in progress and under way right now," Runke said. 'The law itself says we can start with the 1984 model year. "Not knowing for sure when the companies are going to put out the first 1984 model there are some 1983s coming out already we're shooting at somewhere between the first of next year and July," he said. 1 18 in Brescia class of '82 Wicker: National honor not worth war MMSfigr-lrtquirr One hundred eighteen students 48 men and 70 women graduated from Brescia College Saturday during afternoon ceremonies in the Owensboro Sportscenter.

Lincoln's 91-day certificate: long on return, short on maturity, Federal regulations prohibit the compounding of interest on this certificate and call for an interest penalty on early withdrawals. Lincoln's new 91 -day certificate of deposit gives our customers a means of realizing a substantial return on their deposits without a long term commitment. With a deposit of $7500 or more, you can earn a high rate that's competitive with today's market rate, guaranteed for the full term of the certificate, and Vt higher than banks are allowed to pay on the same certificate.
