In general,the site and function of the existing church,which is listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places,will remain the same.There is no change in use,hours of operation. The direction of the church included several areas of concern. • The most pressing priority is parking. Currently parking is unorganized,and spaces are at a premium. Many people park along the narrow entry drive creating unsafe conditions for everyone. The master plan will organize and add parking. • Access for the elderly and handicap is a problem. The plan will address circulation and add handicap and elderly parking. • In the future,another building will most likely need to be added as the congregation is outgrowing the existing fellowship hall. The master plan will make provisions for this future expansion. • The need for a columbarium and memorial garden as an alternative to burial plots. • Tree preservation is a major goal of the congregation. The overall architecture and site is seen as a strong identifier for the church. The plan will respect existing trees. Of utmost concern to the congregation is the appearance,of and respect for the landscape of the existing site. The master plan proposes to save all large trees on site and we met with an arborist to help insure this can be accomplished. The master plan further purposes to use materials that are in keeping with the historic nature of the church. Paving is planned to be either stone-and-chip (to give a more natural appearance) or a permeable surface such as grass paving. Storm water detention will be added as required by the county. 310 East Main Street LAND PLANNING&DESIGN ASSOCIATES,INC. suite 200 Charlottesville,Virginia 22902 Landscape Architecture Planning 434.296.2108 Fax:434.296.2109 1pda.net LPDA May 29,2007 Community Development 401 McIntire Road North Wing Charlottesville,VA 22902 RE: Emmanuel Episcopal Church Greenwood Dear Community Development: Attached please find a site master plan for renovations and development of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Greenwood, Virginia. The plan requires a special use permit and the plan's purpose is outlined in the application. Given the busy schedule of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, we are submitting this plan and application for Special Use Permit Review. By submitting now, I hope get the project review stirted and to secure a "place in line" on these busy schedules. A component of the plan requests a reorganization and addition of parking for the church. Because the church in the rural zone, an administrative approval of parking will be required. If the church parking was determined by zoning, the total parking required would be 170 spaces (including the future building) by the-following process: Church 1 space per 3 fixed seats 75 @ 225 seats or Fellowship Hall 1 space per 75 sf 32 @2,380 sf Marston La Rue House(office) 1 space per 200 sf 13 @ 2,560 sf Future Building (office+ education) 1 space per 200 sf 50@ 10,000 sf An actual count on a specific Sunday yielded 94 cars parked at the peak time between services. Because the haphazard nature of the current parking, it is difficult to estimate how many spaces are currently on site. The church and I feel that 137 spaces, plus 11 at their adjacent site for religious education, is appropriate. The parking would be phased in, and under the first phase it is likely that 108 spaces would be constructed, with the,additional spaces being constructed when the future building is completed. This site is located in an entrance corridor and will require ARB review. It is my intention to submit a package for ARB review by the June 4, 2007 deadline with the hopes of being through the ARB process by the first possible Planning Commission meeting. 310 East Main Street LAND PLANNING DESIGN ASSOCIATES,INC. , suite 200 Charlottesville,Virginia 22902 Landscape Architecture .
