have a crew of three (3) Firefighters on duty 24/7 to respond to fire and emergency medical service <br />(EMS) calls. <br />2. History of the Subject Property <br />In 2013, Bethel University purchased the property at 2 Pine Tree Drive to use the existing office <br />building for higher education. This location is known as the Anderson Center campus. In 2020, <br />Bethel University subdivided the approximate 43 acre site into three (3) parcels known as the 2 <br />Pine Tree North plat. The Applicant purchased Lot 2 Block 1 of that plat in 2020. The other lot <br />as part of this plat is now the location of New Perspective Senior Living. <br />During the platting process, the Applicant was conducting their due diligence on the potential for <br />acquiring the Subject Property. In 2018, the Applicant had completed a study that determined the <br />need for a new Fire Station to be built on a site that could support the communities and their <br />needs over "the next 50 years". It was determined that at a minimum the Department needed at <br />least three (3) acres. This study also noted the future Fire Station should include six (6) drive <br />through bays and living/sleeping quarters. The new Fire Station, because of size and equipment <br />housed, would transition to become the new Headquarters Station and include necessary <br />operational and training functions. <br />Page 2 of 14 <br />
