Dear Custodian of Records,
I have a hearing before the Town Commission acting as Town Board of Adjustment scheduled for
May 9, 2014. The subject of this hearing is to appeal Mr. Thrasher's decision to deny my permit
application for improvements to the roof of my home at 2520 Avenue Au Soleil. I am preparing for
said hearing and wish to obtain certain documents which are public records for the purpose of
helping me with that preparation. I believe these records are essential for me to adequately

responsive records.
Sincerely,
Chris O'Hare
