RE: SP-2006-G06 Mount Calvary Baptist Church (Sign #54) - TM 58A1 Parcel 20
Dear Mr. Sanders:
On July 12, 2006, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP-2006-006
Mount Calvary Baptist Church to allow construction of a new church building on Tax Map 58A 1
Parcel 20 in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. This special use permit was approved based
on the following conditions:
1. 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

years of the date of approval of this special use permit or it shall expire.

structure necessary to the use of the permit."
