However I did have an issue, which I would like read into the record There appears to be an underground stream which runs between the property to the west of the Rosenbloom property, through the Rosenbloom property and in to our property. This appears to be a natural stream. During rainstorms this stream does flood and adds to the current water problem in our house as well as other homes along the north side of Hunter Avenue. I would suggest that if there is any planned excavation that the building engineer or DEP inspect the site to be certain any disruption to the natural stream will not result in further water problems.
