HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe Plans for Oak Lane - Public Records RequestDear Ms. Goforth:
Thank you so much for all these documents. I have found them on the city website , but did have trouble opening them. I have a Mac, so maybe that was the problem. I have asked a friend
for help and that has been successful.
Now that I see these, I request a few additional documents .
1. I would like to have any records identified in the email with the subject line “Oak Lane potential exhibits for hearing.”
2. I request any and all surveys, site plans, and or boundary surveys for any property abutting Oak Lane.
3. I request any and all records relating to the lot at the end of the road, the three-acre one currently for sale.
4. I request any communications to or from Don Haynes. I am particularly interested in meetings he may have had with the city engineer and any documents about easements.
Again, it would be fine to receive these in email. I would prefer that you use something other than .msg since I cannot open them myself.
Thank you again for your help and for all those in the city who helped as well.
Sincerely,
Kathryn

Brian Palmer said that perhaps a contractor with the name of John Picar ( if I heard that correctly) might be working on such plans.
