Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, February 07, 2007 Page 7 Code; refuse pickups being performed before 7:00 a.m., against City Code; and the need to recognize that the campus is located in a residential area. Mr. Callaghan concluded by opining that he is very concerned that the proposed expansion didn’t fit into the residential neighborhood; questioned whether an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was required; and questioned the accuracy of the actual acreage and density calculations. Tam McGehee, 67 Mid Oaks Lane Ms. McGehee asked the applicant if, when calculating the full-time equivalent student program, if they had included non-traditional students (i.e., their FOCUS program for adults) in terms of growth; and any other programs. Ms. McGehee opined that statements by the college that they were committed to growth provided her with cause for concern; and the concerns of the neighbors regarding continued growth as well. Ms. McGehee suggested that the college may need to consider a second campus, or a satellite campus; or provide for additional shuttle arrangements for parking outside the residential area. Ms. McGehee noted that, as additional buildings were acquired off-site, they became tax exempt properties; making comparisons with the properties acquired by Presbyterian Homes and their continued expansion and influence on the City’s tax base.
