At the May 7 West Marlborough township meeting, Springdell resident Lynn Powell once again complained about the parking situation at the popular Whip Tavern. Mrs. Powell, one of the original "Springdell 8" who brought legal action against the Whip, charged that the Whip is using Springdell resident Bernie Langer's driveway as a parking lot without seeking permission from the township.
Township engineer Al Giannantonio said he looked at the property in response to the letter and photograph she submitted last month and said that Whip employees are parking in Mr. Langer's driveway with his permission, but it's not being used as a formal parking lot.
(During a break in the meeting Mr. Langer, clearly upset with Mrs. Powell's actions, asked me if the township taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for Mr. Giannantonio's time.)
Mrs. Powell also urged the supervisors to encourage the Whip to "live within their footprint" by posting "no parking" signs on the south side of Route 841, where Whip patrons park when there is no room in the parking lot. Supervisor Bill Wylie said because there was no safety issue involved, "we couldn't justify" putting signs there in addition to North Springdell Road.
