NEW BUSINESS:
VARIANCE
To allow a non-conforming carport to encroach into the required 10’ side yard setback.
111 Overlook Drive
R-2 Zoning District (Single Family Residential)
Donald Blankenship, Petitioner
Mr. Duke introduced the request for a variance to allow a carport to encroach into the required 10 foot
side yard setback on the property at 111 Overlook Drive. He stated that on the property, an existing
non-conforming carport encroaches 6 feet into the north side yard. The non-conforming structure was
installed without a permit. He stated that since the attached structure is a part of the main structure,
permitting the patio cover would add to an existing non-conforming structure.
Donald Blankenship, petitioner, presented the request to encroach into the 10 foot side yard on
property at 111 Overlook Drive. Mr. Blankenship stated that he was replacing the roof and rear patio
cover and received a zoning violation letter from the city. He stated that he wants to keep the existing
carport which was added approximately 14 years ago.
Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing. There were none to speak. The public hearing was
closed.
Chairman Jamieson opened discussion for the board.
Mr. Miles asked why the need for a variance if the carport is not being replaced. Mr. Duke explained
that the non-conforming carport may continue as such on the property until there is a need to repair or
remove then it must conform to today’s zoning codes. However, as an attached structure, the non-
conforming structure makes the entire structure (house, carport, and rear awning being replaced) non-
conforming and in need of a variance to extend the life of the non-conformance.
Mr. Parker stated that the irregular shaped lot creates the need for a variance.

There being no further discussion from the board, the vote was called. Mr. Miles moved to establish

general neighborhood, or the community as a whole. Mr. Crosby seconded the motion.
The motion to approve the findings of fact passed unanimously.
The vote was called. Mr. Miles moved to approve the request as submitted based on the approved
findings of fact. Mr. Crosby seconded the motion.
The motion to approve passed unanimously.
The BZA voted to approve the variance to allow a non-conforming carport to encroach into the
required 10’ side yard setback on property at 111 Overlook Drive.
USE-ON-APPEAL
To allow multi-family residential in an R-3 zoning district.
222 Moncrief Street
R-3 Zoning District (Single Family Residential)
Charles Sanderson, Petitioner
Mr. Duke introduced the request for a use-on-appeal to allow multi-family residential on the property
at 222 Moncrief Street. He stated that the request is an allowed use-on-appeal in the R-3 zoning
district. He stated that the lot is of adequate size to meet the code requirements to allow the proposed
four units.
Ricki Sanderson, petitioner’s representative, presented the request to allow multi-family residential on
the property at 222 Moncrief Street. He stated that there are seven lots on the Moncrief Street of
which four are currently multi-family use. He stated that since the submission, they’ve made changes
to the layout for the proposed units. He stated that the units will be two duplexes with a courtyard in
the middle, seven front parking spaces, and 600ft2 per unit. He stated that the drainage will flow to the
rear of the lot. He stated that the proposed development will not increase current drainage issues in the
area.
Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing.
Odette Johnson, property owner of 214 and 216 Moncrief Street, stated that she was not in opposition
to the petitioner’s request. She stated that she has provided right-of-way to the city and the current
water issues have yet to be resolved. She stated that there had been sewage issues as well.
Chairman Jamieson asked if this lot is developable. Mr. Duke replied that this lot is developable as
long as the developer is willing to meet the zoning requirements.
Chris Norris, 228 Moncrief, spoke in opposition to the request. He stated that this is not a good fit for
the neighborhood.
Helen Myers, 328 E. Third Street, stated that sewage issues will increase if the proposed is developed.
She stated that a pumping station was placed in the area to help with sewage issues. The duplexes will
overload the already congested area. She also stated that she deeded property to the city to help with
water issues near the ditch.
Jeff Myers, 328 E. Third Street, stated water drainage issues, flooding, sewer, and congestion as
reasons for his opposition. He stated that he would like to see the property developed, but it should
remain single family.
Charles Mills, 323 S. Northington, representative for Ridout’s Funeral Home, stated that single family
Approved 8/14/18

Page 3 of 4
residential is preferred. Parking will be an issue being adjacent to their business.
Mr. Parker asked Mr. Mills if Ridout’s had considered purchasing lot to add to the funeral home’s
parking. Mr. Mills stated that he is not aware if the business tried to purchase property for additional
parking spaces.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Sanderson stated that drainage in the area will continue to be an issue whether single family or
multi-family is developed because the issue is not with this lot. He stated that all four units will be
equivalent in square footage as one single family structure.
Mr. Duke explained the process of building and site approval involves the Planning, Engineering, Fire
and Building Codes departments. Nothing will be allowed to exasperate current drainage issues. He
stated that the process is more stringent on multi-family use than the process for single family use.
Chairman Jamieson opened discussion for the board.
Mr. Parker stated that he had no issues as long as no additional drainage problems are caused by this
development.
There being no further discussion from the board, a vote was called. Mr. Miles moved to establish the
findings of fact stating that 1) the proposed multi-family residential development is an allowable use-
on-appeal, and is not a prohibited use in a R-3 district. Mr. Parker seconded the motion.
The motion to approve the findings of fact passed unanimously.
The vote was called. Mr. Parker moved to approve the request as submitted based on the approved
findings of fact contingent that the applicant supply a third party Engineer’s study to substantiate that
no additional water drainage is caused by the applicant’s development and the City Engineer certify
that the project will cause no significant impact to the city’s sewer as required in Section 10 of the
Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Schannep seconded the motion.
The motion to approve passed unanimously.
The BZA voted to approve the use-on-appeal to allow multi-family residential in a R-3 zoning district
on property at 222 Moncrief Street.

Recommendation: Approval contingent on complete site and building review per
Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance and mitigation of any
adverse impacts discovered in the public hearing or through
Board questions.
Planning Staff Comments:
Background.
The .33 acre lot at 222 Moncrief Street currently contains a small single family residential
structure dating from the 1940’s. The existing structure was declared a dilapidated and
dangerous structure by the Prattville City Council. Rickie Sanderson recently purchased
the property with the intention of repairing or removing the dilapidated structure. Charles
Sanderson, the owner’s son, proposes completing the demolition of the existing structure
and constructing four studio apartments.
The 18’ x 24’ studio apartments will be constructed two on either side of a common
courtyard and have fenced or screened rear patios. Parking will be provided on a common
pad at Moncrief Street.
Analysis. Below is the staff assessment of the three general question applicable to uses-
on-appeal:
1. Is the proposed multi-family use an allowable use-on-appeal, and not a prohibited
use in an R-3 district?
The requested use is a permitted use-on-appeal. It is not a prohibited use in an R-
3 district.
2. Is development of the proposed multi-family residential use at 222 Moncrief Street
in the public interest? Does the proposed development meet the spirit of the City
of Prattville Zoning Ordinance?
A primary purpose of a city’s zoning ordinance is to insure compatibility of adjacent
and nearby uses and that adequate space and facilities are provided for a given
use. The zoning ordinance requires additional area on a given R-3 lot if used for
multi-family residential. The ordinance also requires sufficient parking to
accommodate the additional units.
With the exception of the Ridout funeral home at the northeast corner of Moncrief
Street and East Main Street, the predominant use on Moncrief Street is residential.
The residential uses on the street are a mixture of single units and multi-family
units.
Page 4 of 4
The minimum lot size in an R-3 district for one or two family dwellings is 7,500
square feet. An additional 2,000 square feet is required for each additional unit.
11,500 square feet is the minimum required to accommodate the proposed four
units.
The minimum lot width in an R-3 district for one or two family dwellings is 60 feet.
An additional 6 feet of width is required for each additional unit. 72 feet is the
minimum lot width required to accommodate the proposed four unit development.
At 1.5 spaces per single bedroom unit, the minimum number of parking spaces
required by ordinance for the proposed development is six.
At 14,535.62 square feet and 84 feet wide, the 222 Moncrief Street lot has sufficient
area to meet the requirements of an R-3 district and accommodate the required
setback and parking spaces. The proposed multi-family development is consistent
with the permitted and existing uses in the subject neighborhood. The proposed
use and configuration of the property are consistent with the zoning ordinance and
in the public interest.
3. Does the proposed multi-family use cause substantial adverse impact to adjacent
or nearby properties or uses?
The subject section of Moncrief Street is a mixture of single-family and multi-family
residential units. The proposed multi-family use and the intensity of the use are
consistent with the neighborhood. Attention should be paid to keep the style, mass,
and scale of the proposed structures consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood.
222 Moncrief Street, neighboring lot, and S Northington Street are relatively flat
and are poorly drained during periods of heavy rainfall. Redevelopment of the site
offers an opportunity to address drainage within the lot. Additionally, the new
redevelopment must be designed to assure that adjacent properties do not receive
additional runoff.

Planning Staff Comments:
Background.
The 1.57 acre lot at 745 N. Court Street currently contains a single family residential
structure dating from the 1900’s. Anna Bastida has requested permission to add three
additional 1,000 square foot cottages to the R-3 zoned property.
The existing structure is located toward the rear of the 225 foot deep lot. The proposed
cottages will be constructed with two south of the existing structure and with one east of
the structure toward Court Street. Parking will be provided near each structure.

use and configuration of the property are consistent with the zoning ordinance and
in the public interest.
3. Does the proposed multi-family use cause substantial adverse impact to adjacent
or nearby properties or uses?
The subject section of N. Court Street is a mixture of single-family and multi-family
residential units. The proposed multi-family use and the intensity of the use are
consistent with the neighborhood. Attention should be paid to keep the style, mass,
and scale of the proposed structures consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood.
