What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
My town has a five feet deep planting easement along the curb of my front yard with no side walk. Currently there is a humongous oak tree. The roots grew out into my driveway, walkaway and entire front yard. As a result my walkaway is lifting up about 3", my driveway is buckled with roots telegraphing thru two layers of asphalt causing water paddles. The lifting walkaway and buckled driveway created serious trip hazard conditions, not to mention the roots are surfacing up in my lawn. My question is what are my options to sue the town to remove the tree based on the fact that the easement law indicates that easement must not burden to property?
Thank you,
