We, the undersigned residents of the Mason Mill area, encourage DeKalb County to enforce the county’s Code of Ordinances and ensure that the resident at 1840 Mason Mill Road complies with them.

 We are greatly disturbed by the number, design characteristics, content, and location of signs and activities in the front yard of 1840 Mason Mill Road.  Many of the signs use offensive language and present distasteful, provocative and abusive content.  In addition to violating many of the DeKalb County Code of Ordinances, the excessive signage:

• creates an aesthetic nuisance,
• is a threat to public safety as a traffic hazard, and
• is a detriment to property values and to the county’s general public welfare.  

Over the past decade, the signs have become excessive and they are often accompanied by dancing flags.  These activities are distracting and potentially dangerous to motorists and pedestrians, and substantially detract from the beauty and appearance of our community. 

For the public health, safety, and welfare of the community, we urge DeKalb County to amplify and accelerate the enforcement of DeKalb County Code of Ordinances, Sections 21(Signs) & 27 (Zoning) to regulate and control the number, design characteristics, content, and locations of signs and activities in the front yard of 1840 Mason Mill Road.
