Architect/Builder Names of Favorite Houses
Dear Little Silver Borough,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Hi there! My name is Michael and I am working on a project for an architecture class. Can you please provide the architect's/builder’s names for the following three addresses? If the interior floor plans are available to view, could you please send them along as well? Thank you!
475 Little Silver Point (1995)
33 Paag Lane (1996)
740 Little Silver Point (1996)
Yours faithfully,
Michael Krieg
Hello Michael,
The request you have made calls for staff to conduct research into the files and obtain the information you seek and that is something that is outside of the scope of the Open Public Records Act.
I would guess that you are near the Borough of Little Silver. If you would like to come to Borough Hall, I will set you up with a table and chair and pull the files so you can take at the files to see who the builders and architects were on each of the projects.
As far as floor plans, please be advised the Borough does not possess digitized files of said properties and cannot send them along as you requested. If they exist and depending on if they are not a security/safety issue to release the floor plans under the OPRA statute, hard copies will need to be made of the documents. The copying fee for an oversized document is approximately $5.00 per page. Since the Borough does not possess an oversized printer, the documents are re-produced by our Engineering Firm and the cost(s) are a direct pass-through expense to the requestor.
I will need to have your pre-approval of the copying costs for the floor plans. Guessing each set of plans are at least 4 pages each (X 3 sets) at a minimum and 8 (X 3) pages maximum, the cost range would be from $60.00 for 12 copies up to $120.00 for 24 copies.
Please let me know or if easier, please feel free to call and we can discuss further if easier.
Kevin

We are open from 8a-4p. I'll be out of the office on Tuesday. Please give me at least a 24-hour notice so we can pull the files and have them ready for you. Let me know. .

Dear Kevin Burke,
Hi Kevin, Thanks so much for the note above, I am trying to work on a time to get up there with my father. If I cannot, is it possible just to get the architect/builder names of the addresses? Thanks so much again and I look forward from hearing back from you!
Yours sincerely,
Michael Krieg
