Records Request Bowman, Wall NJ
Date: April 15, 2026
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:
Dear Wall 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.
Under the Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.) and common-law right of access, please provide all government records in the custody or control of Wall Township relating to the property at 1201 Bowman Avenue, Wall Township, Monmouth County, NJ, also identified as Block 907, Lot 22 (and any related parcels in Block 907), including but not limited to:
1. All surveys, plats, topographic maps, boundary surveys, and as-built drawings (including any ALTA, NJDEP, or township-engineer versions).
2. All wetlands delineations, transition-area maps, Letters of Interpretation (LOI), wetlands permits, and correspondence with NJDEP or the township regarding wetlands on or adjacent to the site (including the 12–14 acres noted in the offering materials and any isolated wetlands or transition areas).
3. All Flood Hazard Area (FHA) determinations, riparian-zone analyses, and related correspondence (reference NJDEP File #1352-01-1004.1 / APD220001 dated April 13, 2023).
4. All site-plan applications, major/minor subdivision applications, variance requests, use-variance applications, conceptual or preliminary site-plan reviews, resolutions, approvals, denials, or withdrawals (including any Planning Board or Zoning Board minutes, transcripts, or staff reports).
5. All building-permit applications, certificates of occupancy, and related inspection records.
6. All environmental records, including any township-held files on soil/groundwater remediation, ISRA cases (E20130489, E2020180391, Communication Center No. 10-10-30-1337-57), Administrative Consent Order (ACO), Response Action Outcomes (RAO), Remedial Action Permits, or correspondence with NJDEP, LSRP, or the responsible party (Kurlin/Bel-Ray).
7. Any other documents, emails, memos, or reports that reference development proposals, environmental conditions, or approvals/rejections for industrial, warehouse, storage, or manufacturing uses on this site.
Prefer electronic format (PDF) delivered via email. If any portion is voluminous, please provide a rolling production beginning with the most recent records. I am willing to pay reasonable copying costs up to $50 without prior approval; please notify me if costs will exceed that amount.
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,
Adam Zweibel

Good Afternoon:
Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 will be addressed by the respective departments.
The portion of your request which speaks to "1201 Bowman Avenue, Wall Township, Monmouth County, NJ, also identified as Block 907, Lot 22 (and any related parcels in Block 907), including but not limited to" is overly broad. As a threshold matter, this portion is invalid because it fails to identify with reasonable clarity the specific government records sought, specifically the portion: “(and any related parcels in Block 907)”. The Township requires a Block & Lot OR address to search Township files
In the event of a clarification or appeal, Township reserves the right to raise any other ground for denial not raised in this response. The failure of Township to assert an exception or privilege at this time does not act as a waiver of any grounds for denial.
As for Item No. 7:
Please be advised that your request does not identify specific government records. As such, your request is an invalid OPRA request. A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are desired. Custodians are not required to conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA request
A valid request to conduct an email search contains the following:
• To and/or from
• Date range
• Subject
Emails with the domain of @townshipofwall.com are maintained by the Township. Emails sent to/from outside domains will be picked up if they have copied/sent to an email addresses with the township domain.
In addition, key word searches are extremely sensitive. For example, abbreviations like, “MV” for Motor Vehicle would pick up all emails that reference the letters “M” and “V” in sequence; producing thousands of results. Similarly, using employee titles like “Clerk” or “Collector” would likely produce all emails sent from those departments as they are a part of their signatures.
The more detailed the information provided will aid the search and quality of results.
If the Township does not receive clarification by April 20, 2026, this portion of your request will be deemed answered and closed.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq the Township is provided seven business days to respond upon receipt of clarification.

Dear OPRA,
Subject: Clarification – OPRA Request Dated April 15, 2026 re: 1201 Bowman Avenue (Block 907, Lot 22)
Dear Ms. Pagnoni,
Thank you for your prompt response and for confirming that Items 1–6 will be addressed by the respective departments.
To clarify and narrow my request as requested:
1. All records sought pertain **exclusively** to the property at 1201 Bowman Avenue, Wall Township, Monmouth County, NJ, identified as **Block 907, Lot 22**. I withdraw any reference to “any related parcels in Block 907.”
2. Regarding Item 7: I am not requesting a general email search or new research. Instead, please provide any existing government records (including but not limited to Planning Board/Zoning Board staff reports, internal memos, or emails already in the project file) that specifically reference development proposals, environmental conditions, or approvals/rejections for industrial, warehouse, storage, or manufacturing uses on Block 907, Lot 22.
All other aspects of the original request remain unchanged. I continue to request electronic (PDF) delivery via email, with rolling production if voluminous, and I am willing to pay reasonable costs up to $50.
Please confirm receipt of this clarification. Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Adam
Yours sincerely,
Adam Zweibel

I am responding to your OPRA request specifically your request for Floodplain information.
The subject property is not shown as being in a Special Flood Hazard zone on the latest adopted FEMA flood map*. The property is on map panel number 34025C0310F, copy of the flood map panel can be found here: https://wallnj.gov/DocumentCenter/View/893
The Wall Twp. Construction Department does not have a copy of "NJDEP File #1352-01-1004.1 / APD220001 dated April 13, 2023"
If your request includes other information, those department will respond under separate cover.
*This is the interpretation of the Floodplain Administrator, properties within a Special Flood Hazard zones are required to maintain flood insurance if they have a mortgage insured or backed by the federal government or federal agency. The mortgage provider will make their own flood map interpretation, and the interpretation of the Floodplain Administrator does not supersede their requirement for flood insurance if any.
