Subject: New public records request [R12] ;  Cotee Preserve Ryals Branch bridge and access-road maintenance records

Dear Records Custodian,

Please register this as a NEW public-records request and provide a new tracking number. My prior county requests 3862 and 3869 are closed. References to those requests, or to district request 46928, are background only; this is not a request to reopen an earlier case.

Please route to Parks Recreation and Natural Resources.

Location reference: https://www.facebook.com/groups/486106508067775/permalink/4817588864919496/ (2021 Ronald Klap post with five bridge/access photos). Maps A/B are attached for neighborhood context only; the Facebook source photos are not attached and may require group access. Resident statements identify a missing Ryals Branch crossing and Orange/Minneola access, but the exact county asset identifier is not yet known. Please use an existing preserve asset map to identify it or tell me precisely which location clarification is needed; process identifiable access-road records meanwhile.

1. From January 1, 2016 through September 29, 2026, existing inspections, damage/closure records, photographs, maintenance logs and work orders for the Cotee Preserve access road and Ryals Branch bridge described in the 2021 resident-post location lead below.

2. The bridge-repair or replacement proposal, surveys, studies, estimates, funding requests, agency approvals and any denial, deferral or later authorization for that crossing. If the county uses a different asset name, please identify its asset ID and route to the responsible division.

3. Related grading/repair and access decisions for Orange and Minneola serving the preserve, plus records discussing drainage or emergency-access consequences of the crossing’s condition. Include older bridge design/as-built records still held for this identified structure regardless of original creation date.

Attached Maps A and B define the search locations. Area A is the red subject parcel and cyan 1,000-foot buffer on the county context map. Area B is Kent Grove Drive from SR 52 north to Lussier Lane, including the traveled way, right-of-way and drainage structures within 100 feet of either right-of-way edge, plus 1,000 feet along each SR 52/Kent Grove intersection approach, turn lane and median opening. For other roads, include portions within Map A’s buffer or records expressly referencing the subject parcel and its drainage: Hamlin Road, Orange Drive, Vance Drive, Valencia Drive, Minneola Drive/Road, Satsuma Drive and Lussier Lane. These are records-search limits, not certified watershed boundaries. For basin records, please use the existing official delineation covering the parcel or crossings and the upstream/downstream extent of those same model domains.

Please provide existing nonexempt records electronically, in native format where retained and practical, including attachments and available metadata. I am not requesting a new study, opinion or analysis. Please acknowledge the request and identify the assigned custodian. If a portion needs clarification, identify that numbered item and the specific information needed, and please process the other identifiable items meanwhile. If another office holds an item, please route it or identify that custodian. Please provide an itemized estimate before any charge; I have not authorized paid work. Rolling production of readily available records is welcome. For any withheld material, please identify the legal basis and release the segregable portion. If no responsive records are located, please distinguish that result from a pending search, a referral or a request for clarification. Thank you,
Joe Maynard
