She seeing leprechauns. Maybe Plunkett and the leprechauns can walk around with sandwich signs advertising the new used clothing store where the baby Kroger used to be.

Top 'O the day to ya!!!

All you people...I needed a good laugh! You are great writers and you are right about the signs!

Unfortunately the city planner has spilled the beans and advised that public sentiment is against a signage change. This can mean only one thing based on past actions by the city council voting majority.

whoa whoa tragedy.

Harold- are you and your minion trying to promote your new mall? Oh, and thanks for the Dollar Store.

There is no reason to even consider loosening the sign ordinance for the reasons that have already been posted. I have lived here for 20 years and have seen this town slowly and gradually go down hill; although it is still leaps and bounds better than our surrounding communities. And since the issue of signs has been brought up, can someone tell me how the mattress place on 74 North can have the obnoxious banners hanging in the window? I thought that would fall under the sign ordinance, maybe not. And what about the neon signs in establishments that seem to be popping up everywhere? I thought that fell under some ordinance also. We need to enforce what we have in place and forget easing the restrictions. Pretty soon we will look like Fayeteville/Riverdale with walking billboards and huge signs that are an eyesore.

I find the costumed “characters” signs annoying as hell. Leave the rules along and worry about other things, like finding ways NOT to increase taxes in a slowing economy.

PTC will sooner or later price and tax itself out of the loop..Really, there are more importants thungs to worry about. The PTC Council needs to stop trying to write comedy and do its job. Everyday its some lame idea that would have never been discussed in earlier meetings.

Why are we talking about signs and newspapers in driveways when the town is falling apart. Looser signage laws? Who really wants to live with cardboard garbage posted on street corners and signboards walking up and down the highway? What happened to the original sign laws. Being in business in PTC, I remember when signage had to be a particular size and letter. Kroger was gigged for having a backlit Coca Cola sign that could be seen from the street (no neon and no lighted signs), we had a company banner on a flag pole that had to come down because it was too big and “inappropriate,” McDonald’s had to lower their arches to come into PTC, and you’ve always had to use the special yard sale signs so the community wouldn’t look tacky. I was appalled that the jeweler signs were allowed and that the long-time city resident owner thought that was an okay tactic. Originally, you couldn’t even see most commercial establishments directly from the street because it was required that everything be set back with required landscaping. If anyone wants to do business with a commercial establishment, we will know it’s there or find it.l

“Our town” has already become very tacky as far as commercial business is concerned. On another matter, this council is concerned about newspapers in driveways that are an eyesore. So business can go however tacky and however far they want in PTC, but residents can’t let their papers stack up when they go away for the weekend?

What the hell is going on with this council??? There are a lot more urgent matters to consider – or is it just a matter of what can be controlled?

Harold, do you stop off for a few hundred mind altering drugs or alcoholic drinks every day? I am so sick of discussions like this taking place...Where are the problems with the existing laws? Is there any part of our City you feel you HAVEN'T screwed up yet? You and Plunkett are like a cancer on all of us here..You two just don't get it...this City was perfectly fine before you came in and desecrated it. LEAVE IT ALONE, TAKE BERNIE WITH YOU TO WHEREVER YOU SCREW YOUR BRAIN(?) IN EVERY MORNING AND STAY AWAY FROM CITY HALL, COUNCIL MEETINGS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND ANYONE EVEN THINKING OF MOVING HERE. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY TOWN BUFFOONS NOW, NOT THE JOKE KIND, BUT THE ABSOLUTE ASHAMED TO BE SEEN IN PUBLIC KIND. THE ONLY ONES WHO DON'T REALIZE IT ARE YOU.

First of all, with everything else that is going on this shouldn't even be a priority.

Second, if we are going to waste time talking about signage; we should be talking about making the signage rules tighter. That way we don't get stuck with more tacky "PTC Jewler going out of business" signs for six month at a time.

Bigger signs will sell more stuff???? Get real.
The PTC administration really thinks that, we, the citizens, are really stupid. Retailers just want it. It's "in your face" advertising.
We all know about the secret contest between Fayetteville, Peachtree City and Newnan to see who has the most concrete. (Runoff tax baby!) It used to be you could hardly see the stores from the road. You just learned where everything was. It was a magnificent and beautiful idea. Today, if a strip of grass is left between the store and the street, THEY BUILD ANOTHER STORE ON IT!!!!
Small minded, self serving, non-visionary jackas.....well, you get the idea.
As an aside. Signage is not a word. Sign or signs work just fine in every instance.

If you provide good service and good product signs are not needed. If you provide good goods and service, they will come and come again and pass the word. It would be nice to leave something the same in Peachtree City. 29 year resident!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable, they are going off the deep end. If you did not think Mayor Logsdon's previous actions showed a complete disregard for our major planning elements, hacking the sign ordinance should seal the deal.

Councilwoman Plunkett’s comments on the “Baby Kroger” site are astounding. She is a lawyer, yet her comments come off as though she has no understanding of the law.

Keep them stringent.

Okay, maybe it's not the worst idea ever, but it's pretty darn close. If anything, the regulations on signs should be tightened, not loosened. There goes Logsdon again, dreaming of money instead of quality of life.

Folks, there are only two things that make PTC what it is: 1. The cart paths. 2. The quality of the landscaping and storefronts (for the most part).

Mrs. Plunkett mentioned Hilton Head Island. Great example, because it's one of the few places in South Carolina where people speak real English, groom themselves before going in public, and the trees are still there. The signs in Hilton Head are all small and carved of wood, including McDonald's. The signs look great.

What do Fayetteville and Newnan have in common? They're ugly towns. Sorry, truth hurts, but they are covered in raggedy stores with rusty signs, broken neon lights, tattered banners (like a used car lot), and trash all over the side of the road.

Peachtree City has already messed up big time with the West Village. The businesses are right up against the road, there are more stoplights than the rest of the city combined (probably), the houses are all on top of each other, and the trees? All destroyed by bulldozers.

Let's get this city back to the way it was. Sure, the West Village is like Newnan, but the rest of the town doesn't have to be.

Let's tighten up and get back to a more conservative way of thinking about our small town.
