C# If statement: The name Example does not exist in the current context

I am making this if statement and inside i am setting this SPWebTemplate which is a type. I think it would work fine, but it says that it does not exist in the current context.

if (properties.WebUrl == "http://sharepointdev")
{
     SPWebTemplate spWebTemplate = oWebsite.Site.GetWebTemplates(1030)["{378B494F-F38C-4F07-8D25-CA50E64C209F}#TemplateKSI"];
} else {
     SPWebTemplate spWebTemplate = oWebsite.Site.GetWebTemplates(1030)["{5FC51B7F-355E-431F-9C65-3663590346F4}#Sag"];
}

The name 'spWebTemplate' does not exist in the current context

How can that be?

And it does not help setting the variable before like

SPWebTemplate spWebTemplate;
if(...

It then says:

A local variable named 'spWebTemplate' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'spWebTemplate', which is already used in a 'parent or current' scope to denote something else.

but this example works fine:

 long websiteid;
 if (properties.ListItem["LP_SagsID"] == null)
 {
      websiteid = long.Parse(properties.ListItemId.ToString()) + startnumber;
 }  else   {
      websiteid = long.Parse(properties.ListItem["LP_SagsID"].ToString()); 

 }
