Dear Zachary Gotlib,

 

The Township will require clarification on your request:

Your current request - `all open and closed permits` - is overly broad and
does not identify with reasonable clarity the specific government records
sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.
Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005) and Burke v. Brandes, 429 N.J. Super. 169 (App.
Div. 2012). For example, if you are looking for construction permits, you
must explicitly state “construction permits.” Writing “all open and closed
permits” is not sufficient, as there are many types of permits issued by
the Township. Failure to provide written clarification of your request
will result in the closure of this OPRA request.

 

Thank you for your patience. Please do not reply directly to this email;
this address is not monitored. If you have any questions please feel free
to contact us at [Piscataway Township request email].

 

Sincerely,

 

Township of Piscataway
