Carolyn, I got your voicemail on the political snipe signs. It appears they are not on public property which is
legal placement (or right at the property line — Mayport Flyover plans show the right of way line is 2 feet behind
the back of sidewalk. By copy of this email I'm asking the Code Enforcement Officer to take a look at this
placement tomorrow (she is off today).
