WILKES-BARRE TWP. – A dispute over a road that officials said existed only on paper was settled as the result of a resolution passed by council on Monday.
Township Solicitor Sam Sanguedolce said Edward and Elaine Jordan had sought to file quiet title to a piece of land on Cliff Street where they had built a sunroom addition to their home.
“It was a section of road on paper that technically the township owned, but it never became a road,” Sanguedolce said.
Six other township residents, as well as the township and the Earth Conservancy, had claimed an interest in the property and sought to prevent the quiet title but later reached an agreement with the Jordans, the solicitor said.
“The sunroom gets to stay,” Sanguedolce said. Council unanimously approved a resolution allowing Mayor Carl Kuren and Council President Mary Yuknavich to complete paperwork finalizing the agreement.
Council also discussed complaints about speeding from residents of Nicholson Street and confirmed that two township police officers will begin bicycle training next week. The training was originally scheduled for July.
Bills totaling $120,781 were also approved for payment.
