Overview: During the recent Cape May Shade Tree Commission meeting, two residents, Joan Schmidt and her neighbor, appealed to the commission regarding the removal of street trees that they believe are exacerbating sewer line issues on Ohio Avenue. The commission had previously assessed the situation and found that the deteriorated sewer lines required replacement, irrespective of the trees’ presence. Despite the residents’ willingness to replace the trees at their own expense, the commission was hesitant to authorize removal, emphasizing that tree roots seeking moisture could still affect new sewer lines. Joan’s neighbor highlighted the costly repairs, estimating $33,700 for Joan and around $4,000 for himself.
