Dear Andover 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-5(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:
1. Text Messages
All text messages sent or received by the following individuals in their capacity as municipal officials or employees, referencing National Land Developers, Joe Marley, 248 Stickles Pond Road, 310 Stickles Pond Road, 1045 Limecrest Road, data center, warehouse, Ordinance 2023-11, or Ordinance 2025-15:

• Land Use Administrator Stephanie Pizzulo
Date range: January 1, 2022 to present.

3. Clarification of Redactions
In records previously produced in response to an OPRA request regarding National Land Developers filed on or about May 21, 2026, numerous redactions were made citing N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1. I request the following clarifications:
a) A specific written explanation, citing the precise statutory exemption and basis, for each redaction applied to communications between Mayor Thomas Walsh and Patricia Bussow regarding a "Limecrest Meeting: Attendee List and Buyer's Use Summary" dated January 24, 2024.
b) A specific written explanation for the redaction applied to a communication from Cory Stoner (Harold E. Pellow & Associates) to Patricia Bussow and Mayor Thomas Walsh dated April 27, 2023, subject line "Andover Twp Mtg wth National Land Developers, LLC" — specifically why the body of that email was withheld in its entirety.
c) A privilege log identifying each redacted or withheld document, the author, recipient, date, subject matter, and specific exemption claimed, as required when asserting attorney-client privilege under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1.

Dear Patricia Bussow,

i think you can provide items 2, 5 and 6 as they do not require personal records and should be readily available? otherwise i will submit these items separately.
