Resident opposes vacating Mount Carmel alley, warns of lost longtime driveway access
Summary
A resident told the Carroll County board that vacating part of an alley in Mount Carmel would eliminate a driveway used for 40–50 years and called the proposed alternate driveway "illogical," asking the board to preserve existing access.
A resident during the public-comment period urged the Carroll County board not to vacate a portion of an alley in Mount Carmel, saying the change would remove driveway access that has been used for four decades.
"And it just doesn't make sense after over 40 years of use that we're really playing a game," the resident said, describing how closing the alley would cut off access to Lot 6 and neighboring properties. The resident told the board the existing driveway alongside the county shed has served Lot 6, Lot 7 and others for decades and questioned the need to build a second driveway a short distance away.
Chair asked for clarification about which half of the alley was the subject of the request and sought details about proposed easements or alternate access, but no formal action was taken during public comment. The topic may return to a future agenda as a formal vacation request or platting matter.
