PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP
Site Visits Conducted: July 17, 2016
Recommendation: Items 1 and 2: Approve.
Evaluation:
The requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville
Residential Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of manual are
included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of each section.
Item 1. In-ground 18’ 36’ swimming pool with concrete deck, located in rear yard.
Pools and Fountains (page 51)
Pools and fountains are modern elements that can be most welcome on a summer
day! New pools and fountains should use placement that minimizes their effect on
the district’s historic character.
1. Swimming pools and fountains should be located in the back yards and have
limited visibility from public vantage points.
2. Plants and/or fencing should be used to screen views of pools or fountains.
Item 2. Six foot privacy fence in the backyard.
Fences and Walls (Page 46)
Fences and walls have historically been used to define ownership or function and to
separate public and private space. Historic fences and walls should be retained and
maintained. New fences and walls should use design, materials, and placement that
minimize their affect on the district’s historic character.
4. Wood board fences may be located in back yards and should be less than six
feet tall. Flat tops, dog-ear tops, or pointed tops are all appropriate designs.
Fences should be painted to blend with the building.
Analysis:
The requested development satisfies the Commission’s guidelines.
