10-4 good buddy & County Commissioners...listen up.

Peter...you are the only one in print making any sense with regard to the road improvements. It has always been a "no brainer" to me and I never thought folks would be so narrow minded for the positive road additions. We are at the critical stage for travel safety for our families.
The general public doesn't seem to understand the law of the land...it's highest and best use. I have been in this county approximately 30 years. This county historically has done an excellent job and may at times actually need to be more proactive to meet the needs of the people of this county. It's unfortunate that the people fussing have little understanding of reality and monitored or controlled growth. Controlled growth does NOT mean no growth. It means growth that makes sense for this community. The roads and travel are a huge part of this fine community.
Further, our community has an aging population and our county commissioners had best awaken to that fact (many of you are included in that aging pop.). Our county is in dire need of a fine size-down, single-story, upscale community for all of our 50's & up. Very unfortunate that the Dell Webb/Pulte project was not given better consideration. Keeping our long-time residents in this county keeps our county stablized and with their children and grandchildren. What are y'all thinking?

Planned communities are generally for retirees. When they are not for retirees only, then very strict rules, legal, must be invoked and even state that developers must meet strict rules with each and every proposal. If you want kids in a planned community--then plan for them. Add excess recreation and supervision, and yes, even for teen-agers. Let's face it: this planned community crap has been going around for scores of years. Golf players and others have been developing them (with their name) for many, many years. A certain golden golfer, whom I know, has let his name be used to do these things to the tune of him being ultra rich. People are told that he owns lot #X, and will build his home there. He does, but sells it when the sell-out occurs. He also gets three times out of it what he put into it. (fuzzy, lee, jack, and arnold's house you know?)

The law of the land is not the "highest and best use" and it never has been.

Peter Pfeifer demanded TDK because he said it would relieve traffic; he lied.

Straighten out Rockaway Road, that's fine. TDK, on the other hand, is developer greed and political lies.

First, let's set the record straight with Peter. Yet another long winded, vacous letter with no data and no facts. I can forgive the poor grammar and incomplete sentences but the absence of any factual support renders his weekly drivel useless. Your slander of Mr. Maxwell was your signature, Rick Price dirty politics and I for one do not like it. For now, you are convinced that by supplicating to the Coweta developer crowd you will hang on to your commission seat. You will not.

As for "fayettecountyreality", you, too, suffer from general ignorance. You say "law of the land...it's highest and best use." Your knowledge apparently consists of parrotting what the last person told you. Highest and best use is not the standard. If it were, Jim Pace would be entitled to build a medical waste incinerator and toxic dump. Oh, I'm sorry, they already sold that to the PD.

Sure hope Cal doesn't consider that a personal attack and ban me for the limited life I have left, but if he does - so be it.

Again, in case you missed it - you are an idiot, sadfayette (good screen name, by the way).

Peter's letter called for a proactive intelligent government and clearly stated that if you want to stop growth - elect people who will do exactly that. If you can't elect those people, then move away or live with the consequences.

Your incredible ignorance shows when you say things like

"Highest and best use is not the standard" well no, but it is the law or at least the law to those that actually understand property rights.

Or this gem

"Your slander of Mr. Maxwell was your signature, Rick Price dirty politics and I for one do not like it" Wow, great! very good and focused commentary.

We close with another of your idiotic remarks - "Jim Pace would be entitled to build a medical waste incinerator and toxic dump. Oh, I'm sorry, they already sold that to the PD."
Assuming PD means police department, the problem there is mold, not a toxic dump or a medical waste incinerator - although Rich Parlioterri proposed one of those back when he was on council and one of PCDC's apologists.

To be completly accurate, you commentary is idiotic - perhaps not you. I am sure I never met you or if I did I walked away before I got to know you.

See Cal, I'm trying to be nice - let me stay.

Actually the statement by SadFayette with respect to "highest and best use" is accurate. "Highest and best use" is not a term that is relevant to zoning or use cases. It only has relevance in condemnation cases or when government takes property for a project. See Wikipedia. Property owners have rights as to use, but not the highest and best use necessarily.
