RE: ARB-2017-103: Afton Scientific Office Renovations
Dear Mr. Puckett,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,

following conditions:
1. Add a material/color schedule to sheet A200, with all materials keyed to the elevation
drawings.
2. Add the standard window glass note to the drawings: "Windows shall not be highly tinted or
highly reflective. Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40%, and Visible
Light Reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%."
3. Show the placement of the HVAC units in the plan. If the new location does not provide
complete screening from the EC, add screening.

Corridor shall be eliminated."
5. Add a note to the plan that states, "No light fixtures are to be added or modified with this plan."
6. Add a note to the plan that states, "All existing landscaping shall be protected. Any landscaping
damaged during construction shall be replaced in kind."
7. Revise the drawing index on the cover sheet to accurately reflect the submitted sheets.
8. It is recommended that sheet A001 be revised to accurately represent the location of each building
shown in the provided pictures.

during construction shall be replaced in kind."

adjacent to the renovated building facades.
