Resident asks board to vacate Scott Alley; solicitor authorized to begin process

West Lebanon Township Board of Commissioners · April 7, 2025

Summary

Resident Carmen Rodriguez requested the township vacate Scott Alley because it is little used; the board discussed easement and parking implications and authorized Solicitor Paul C. Bametzreider to start the legal process to vacate the alley.

Carmen Rodriguez addressed the board asking that Scott Alley be vacated, saying she was "asking in a humble way since the alley does not get used much." Commissioners discussed implications for parking, fences and easement rights. Maintenance official John Brenner said vacating the alley would resolve parking and fence issues but could create civil disputes in the future if new neighbors objected.

Solicitor Paul C. Bametzreider noted easement rights and suggested legal costs would likely be less than prior attorney fees expended on a fence dispute; the board moved and approved a motion authorizing the solicitor to begin the formal process to vacate Scott Alley.
