Dear Dr. Kim:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on October 9, 2002, unanimously approved
the above-noted requests. Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
SP-2002-035 Korean Community Church - Expansion:
1. The Korean Community Church shall be operated in general accord with the justification provided
with the application submitted for SP-2002-035, included herein as Attachment B. The capacity of the
church facility will not exceed one hundred fifty (150) individuals. No daycare or church school
activities are intended with this special permit. Changes to this plan of operation may require an
amendment to this special use permit;
2. At the time of site development, all requirements of the Virginia Department of Transportation
regarding relocation of the access road to align with the North Fork Research Park entrance across
Route 29, furnishing of signal components for the eastern side of the existing intersection shared with
the research park, installation of a turn and taper lane along Route 29, and other requirements
described in correspondence from VDOT dated August 1, 1997, February 10, 1997, and June 26,
2002, shall be met. It is anticipated that the applicant will work with the Towers Land Trust and other
property owners to the south to equitably share in the cost of the necessary improvements to the
eastern side of the above-described intersection;
3. At the time of issuance of a building permit, determination of the availability of public water and sewer
shall be made by the Director of Planning and Community Development. If water and sewer are
determined to be reasonably available, the church shall be required to connect to these utilities;
4. The final site plan shall include a greenway dedication of one hundred (100) feet minimum in width or
that area necessary for the establishment of a greenway trail on that portion of the property along the
North Fork Rivanna River and its tributary to the north;
5. The use, structure or activity for which this permit is issued shall commence within five (5) years from
the date this permit is issued. The term "commenced" shall mean commencement of any structure
necessary for the use of the permit or the issuance of the VDOT entrance permit; and
6. At the time of site plan submittal, the applicant shall work with the Engineering Department to locate
the road access out of the critical slopes, to the extent practical.

SP-2002-047 Korean Community Church - Floodplain Crossing:
1. The Flat Branch crossing shall be used for the remainder of the property (Tax Map 32 Parcel 22K). It
is recommended that the crossing of Flat Branch be wide enough to accommodate any future
development of the property beyond the proposed church site;
2. The site construction shall not disturb the natural water quality buffer of stream and river valley
wooded slopes;
3. Grading within the floodplain shall occur only in association with the relocation of the entrance road
from Route 29, and such grading shall comply with all requirements of the Department of Engineering
and Public Works, included here as Attachments G and H; and
4. The use, structure or activity for which this permit is issued shall commence within five (5) years from
the date this permit is issued. The term "commenced" shall mean commencement of any structure
necessary for the use of the permit or the issuance of the VDOT entrance permit.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued shall not be
commenced within twenty-four (24) months after the issuance of such permit, the same shall be deemed
abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall thereupon terminate. For purposes of this section,
the term "commenced" shall be construed to include the commencement of construction of any structure
necessary to the use of such permit within two (2) years from the date of the issuance.
Before beginning this use, you must obtain a zoning clearance from the Zoning Department. Before the
Zoning Department will issue a clearance, you must comply with the conditions in this letter. For further
information, please call Jan Sprinkle at 296-5832.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above-noted action, please do not hesitate
