Petitioners say unused Lumberport alley splits parcels, hinders sales
Summary
An Aug. 30, 2024 petition from George and Terry Rinehart and David and Patricia Bennett asks Lumberport to abandon an alley they say has not been used or maintained for decades and prevents the owners from selling contiguous parcels.
A petition filed Aug. 30, 2024 and included in the Sept. 17 minutes asks the Town of Lumberport to abandon an alley that petitioners say separates homes from garages on adjacent parcels. The petition lists petitioners George H. and Terry L. Rinehart and David G. and Patricia A. Bennett; it names Michael J. and Bettie S. Gillispie as a neighboring owner whose parcel touches the alley but is "not affected."
The petition text states that the alleyway "has not been and is not currently used as a throughway nor has it ever, in the property owners 50+ year family ownership, been maintained as a road." It argues abandonment would allow the owners to sell parcels as contiguous lots. The petition includes parcel legal descriptions and E-911 addresses for the properties and attaches signatures and a notary block dated 9/5/24.
