Broughton Manor, Gary Broughton's 8-lot Formal Plat
The Preliminary Formal Plat was approved by council July 30, 1998. As of this writing (4/19/03), that was four years and nine months ago. We placed a Public Information Request on 3/24/03 for the complete file on this project. It was fulfilled on 4/8/03. However, even though I had requested all email communication and copies of all building permits and TR's (Treasurer's Receipts) on this project, there was only one copy of a TR (with a reference to one previously paid, and no emails or permits.
