Board clarifies border path easement during variance hearing

Westfield Township Board of Zoning Appeals · August 12, 2026

Summary

A board member asked whether a path along the property border was a legal easement; the resident said an easement exists across their property though it may not show on the plat, and participants clarified which side of the property line it occupies.

During board discussion, a member asked about a path along the border and whether it represented a formal easement. The member asked, "You had mentioned the path along the border. I assume that that's not a legal, easement or anything. Is that correct?" The resident replied, "I have I have the easement across my property," and other participants clarified which side of the property line contains the easement.

Board members noted the easement did not appear on the recorded plat but agreed the physical use and the resident's statement meant an easement existed across the resident's parcel; no new legal action or plat amendment was taken at the meeting. The board then proceeded to vote on the variance application.
