Citizen to Dacula City Council: 'I Don't Feel Safe in My Home'

Majestic Circle resident says city's new maintenance facility is a "huge safety concern."

A Dacula woman wants the city to take measures to prevent trespassing and other illegal activity at the new maintenance facility off West Drowning Creek Road. 

Nanette Klinect, who lives on Majestic Circle, says the new facility has created "a massive safety issue" for her and her neighbors. According to Klinect, the paved drive and the well-lit facility are attracting trespassers.

"There is nothing to keep them from just going back there. They cannot be seen. They can just walk right through our backyards," Klinect said.

During the March 7 Dacula City Council meeting, Klinect asked the city to consider installing an 8-foot high privacy fence along the buffer to curtail the activity. She also asked that "no trespassing" signs be posted.

Klinect recounted what she described as a "terrifying" incident from 2012 in which shots were fired near her house (see video).
