The full story

Petitioners Jamie Gibbs and Nicole Bell presented a special exception request for a private Christian high school on two parcels north of Emerald Lane. The proposal includes a gym and athletic fields, plans for on‑site stacking to avoid queuing on Anderson Snow Road and an anticipated staff of roughly 25. Staff recommended approval with performance conditions; the county engineer flagged traffic and indicated any required turn lanes or additional improvements would be determined by traffic studies at permitting.
