I am the owner/developer of a small development on a lake in Minnesota. We have a number of lots on a large lake. There is a lake association that has received some public money as well as grants. I learned that an elected member of the assoc. has spoken to at least two potential buyers stating the water in front of my lots is polluted. These are lies. I believe two individuals that were interested, contacted this individual with with questions about the lake and was told to stay away from my property. She has admitted to speaking to more than one person, but would not say what was said.
My questions: Do I have right to access the assoc’s correspondence to find out if these lies were indeed made by an elected member of this association? I suspect the correspondence was via email.
What expectations/requirements do they have in terms of saving such correspondence? Would I be able to access this without an attorney or do I need an attorney to request this information?
The individual with the association fought the development from the start because she feels it’s being overdeveloped. It is just under 5,000 acres, so by no means a small lake.
0K x 18 lots so yes, very valuable. I know an attorney will see $$$ and want to take the case based on seeing $$ regardless of how good of case they think it is. Plus I have 5 that have yet to be plotted out. I think they’ve cost me at least two sales as two people who were very interested just vanished and purchased elsewhere. One had inquired about the lake and was going to talk to the lake association.
