Landmark officials

could not be reached for comment and it's not known whether the school

plans to resubmit the application or drop plans for a school in Tyrone.

Late last month,

more than 200 people packed Town Hall and saw the Planning Commission

vote to recommend denial of Landmark's request to rezone a 95-acre tract

at Farr Road from residential to office institutional to allow the school

to move there.

Landmark's

Steve Fincher presented the school's case by telling the Planning Commission

that Landmark had conducted three public meetings with residents near

the property.

Fincher said

Landmark's development schedule is for 15 years, with preschool and elementary

grades being the primary focus of the initial building program.

Eventually,

the school would have preschool through high school with an estimated

1,100 students at the Tyrone campus.

But Eric Allen,

who represented disgruntled homeowners, told the Planning Commission that

Landmark's campus should be closer to Tyrone's town center and not placed

in the middle of a residential area.

"This

doesn't comply with the regional transportation plan," he said.
