18. Report on Lillian Dells Drive - Report on Lillian Dells Drive Summary of Report: On September 22, 1997 the resident at 699 Bluff Road removed several trees near Lillian Dells Drive. Following the issuance of a tree ordinance citation and numerous complaints, the Village Board requested that staff and the Village Attorney clarify the location of the removed trees and confirm public access on Lillian Dells Drive. Survey and title work verifies that no public trees had been removed and confirmed the location of the walking path on public property from Maple Avenue to the Lake. To preserve public access to the path and to protect the private property adjacent to the path, is recommended that Public Works personnel place modest signage at the opening of Lillian Dells Drive and set marking posts at specific locations along the Drive to delineate the boundary lines. This work could be done this spring with materials on hand.
