Dear Clark 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:

I am requesting all records August 1, 2022 to present in regards to the property at 1124 & 1126 Raritan Rd. Originally the property was denied by the planning board but the construction seems to be moving forward. I am a concerned citizen of Terry Lane as parking was the reason it was denied.

Please provide

1. All emails from August 1, 2022 to present on the property in question
2. Any plans that have been modified since Planning Board Denial
3. Any such approvals and at whose authority for the project

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,

Dear Nicole Castellucci,

I would like any emails that are in regards to the project at 1124 & 1126 Raritan Rd. They most likely would come from Samsel Realty or a Mr. Samsel. But any emails that are pertinent to this project. I want to try and understand why a project that was denied by the planning board is suddenly getting completed without regard to the neighborhood. It does not make sense.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Nicole Castellucci,

Yes I still require this information and that will not change over time. I need to understand how a project that was denied by the planning board suddenly gets approved and the project looks to be of the same scope. As my emails to the right people went unanswered I need to now OPRA all the necessary documents and review appropriately. The fact it is in attorney review for so long is disturbing that something was uncovered and you need to be prepared to respond. Please get me all information that I require as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,
