Since it is my house that some anonymous person complained about, i would like to know what the rule is for where we can put signs in our yard and be left alone by complainers. i have no extension and there is no sidewalk. What is the “rule”? Thank you

I would suggest taking a look ordinances: https://library.municode.com/mi/ann_arbor/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TITVZOPL_CH61SIOUAD_5_504RESI

Yes, what you want is section 5:506 of the City ordinances. The short answer is political signs must be 15 feet from the street and 5 feet back from the sidewalk. Since you don't have a sidewalk, 15 feet from the street is the relevant rule. There's a little more verbiage in the ordinances, but that's the gist.

The whole street looks like an election campaign, turning what would otherwise be a nice scenic drive into a trashy corridor.

...or a beautiful testament to free speech and political engagement. Eye of the beholder, I guess.

I am sure that if they were Trump signs you would have a very different opinion

Yes, it would be difficult for me to find beauty in support for the hateful, but I wouldn't call the sight trashy -- just sad.

Doesn't matter who the signs are in support of they are political, they are tacky and trashy and noone wants to see them.

It has been determined, by a Community Standard's Officer, signs on Sunset are located on private property and do not present a code violation. The Officer used a GIS map of the area which depicted the public right-of-way to make this determination. The sign complaints will be closed.
