Dear Marlboro Township,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Required setback rules for residential construction in town
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
J N
Good afternoon,
OPRA request is denied for the following:
OPRA is a request for identifiable documents within a date range.
As a threshold matter, please be advised that your request is
invalid because it fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific government records sought within a date range. See Murphy
v. N.J. Dept. of Corrections, GRC Complaint No. 2015-340. The
request may not be a broad generic description of documents that
requi res the custodian to search the agency's files and "analyze,
compile and collate" the requested information. Id.; See also
Lagerkvist v. Office of Governor of State, 443 N.J. Super. 230,
237 (App. Div. 2015) (holding that OPRA does not convert a
custodian into a researcher, which would have been the effect of
the request).
P lease update your request to include a date range (e.g. 2010 to
present, for the past 10 years) and list specific identifiable
documents (e.g. open/closed permits, violation reports) and
resubmit your request to [Marlboro Township request email]
You may also reach out to our Zoning Officer at 732-536-0200 ext.
1626 for questions regarding to zoning set backs.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at
any time. We would be happy to assist.
Thank you and have a nice day.
