Dear Mike:
It has come to my attention that during periods of short duration rainfall events, Kaiser A venue
experiences street flooding to a depth of a couple of feet at the crossing of County Ditch 9.
Unfortunately, with the recent dry weather that we are experiencing, I have not had an opportunity
to independently verify this claim. It is my understanding the bituminous wear course is to be
placed in Albert Villas 3rd Addition sometime in September 2003. Not knowing if or what the
problem may be on Kaiser A venue or what the potential fix may be if there is a problem, I am
requesting that the bituminous wear course not be placed on Kaiser A venue this year. This will
allow me an opportunity to investigate this issue.
Thank you for your cooperation and please call me if you have any questions.
