RE: SP -2006-006 Mount Calvary Baptist Church (Sign #54) - TM 58A1 Parcel 20
Dear Mr. Sanders:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on June 13, 2006, unanimously recommended
approval of the above -noted petition to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
Special Use Permit 2006-06 shall be developed in general accord with the concept plan dated May
31, 2006, prepared by Dex Sanders, architect, and titled "Masterplan Mount Calvary Baptist
Church" (Attachment F.) Important elements of the concept plan include the following:
The church shall be located as close to Route 738 as possible to maintain the overall
hierarchy of buildings along Morgantown Road and their placement related to one
another and to the street.
To protect the adjacent dwelling to the east, no parking shall be located in the area
labeled mixed trees and shrubs adjacent to the dwelling on the east side of the church
property.
2. The ingress/egress from Route 738 (Morgantown Road) shall be consolidated into a single entrance
that meets VDOT Minimum Standards for Entrances to Private Street requirements.
3. A 12' wide by 48' long right -turn taper shall be constructed for access to the entrance from
eastbound Morgantown Road.
4. Two, 10 foot, one-way travel lanes shall be required to access the parking area to the south of the
new cemetery. In order to reduce as much as possible the amount of retaining wall needed, the
specific length of these travel ways, their configuration, and the arrangement of the parking area
shall be determined at final site plan review.
5. The existing 1890's church building shall be documented using the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Historical Documentation prior to any disturbance of the site. Copies of the
documentation of the building shall be provided to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources
and the Albemarle County Historic Preservation Planner.
6. Permanent fencing shall be installed on the portion of the perimeter of the cemetery known as the
`Cooper Family Cemetery' that is located on the property known as Tax Map 58A(1) Parcel 20.
The location and extent of the boundary of the `Cooper Family Cemetery' (labeled `Old Cemetery'

on the concept plan) on Parcel 58A1-20 shall be located in the field and fencing shall be fully
installed as approved by the Director of Planning direction before any site disturbance occurs.
Any area of platted cemetery that is proposed to be used as parking area shall be formally
abandoned prior to site plan approval.
Construction of the church as shown on the concept plan shall commence within five years of the
date of approval of this special use permit or it shall expire.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive public
comment at their meeting on July 12, 2006.
Additionally, the Planning Commission took action on four (4) site plan waiver requests associated with SP -
2006 -06 Mount Calvary Baptist Church.
Regarding Site Plan Waivers #1, #2 and #4, the Planning Commission approved these site plan waiver
requests by a vote of 4:0.
1. Waiver of Section 18.4.12.15.a. (parking lot surfacing).
2. Waiver of Section 18-4.12.15.g. (required use of curbs in the parking areas).
4. Waiver of Section 18-31.2.4.4. (to be allowed five years from the date of approval of the Special Use
Permit to commence construction.) (Condition 8. under SP -2006-06 would permit the requested time
extension for this Special Use Permit.)
Regarding Site Plan Waiver #3, the Planning Commission denied the request for Waiver of Section 18-
4.12.17.c.1 (required 20 foot wide two-way travel lane for parking areas), and voted to approve the waiver
for 10' dual one-way access aisles, associated with SP -2006-06 Mount Calvary Baptist Church.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (434) 296-5832.
