Previous Approvals: N/A 1984/2007 Historic Properties Inventory Details 128 Oak Creek Court - non-contributing structure erected in 1978 (Autauga County Revenue Commissioner’s records). Wood framed, two story attached residential structure with exterior of wood siding and trim. DRAFT Page 2 of 4 Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition The following alteration has been requested by the applicant. See the application included as Attachment A for a description of each element. 1. Install white vinyl on all fascia, soffit, and other exposed exterior wood areas. Install shake style vinyl siding over existing wood siding on front of house. 2. Replace gutters with matching gutter and downspouts. 3. Install 2 copper colored awnings over doors on the rear of the home. 4. Paint shutters to match siding. PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: April, 2020 Recommendation: Approval, see analysis below. Structure is a non-contributing structure. As a result, the standard of review should be less stringent. Proposed project does not detract from the existing structure. Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure is a residential properties, the requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville Residential Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of the manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of the section. The following changes are proposed: 1. Install white vinyl on all fascia, soffit, and other exposed exterior wood areas. Install shake style vinyl siding over existing wood siding on front of house. 2. Replace gutters with matching gutter and downspouts. 3. Install 2 copper colored awnings over doors on the rear of the home. 4. Paint shutters to match siding. Item 1. Vinyl fascia, soffit, and siding Item 2. Gutters and downspouts Gutters and Downspouts (page 21) DRAFT Page 3 of 4 Using well-maintained gutters and downspouts helps to protect buildings from water damage. If new gutters are required, half-round designs are the most appropriate. 1. Gutters, downspouts, and splashblocks should be used and maintained. 2. Existing boxed or built-in gutters should be retained. 3. Deteriorated or damaged boxed or built-in gutters should be repaired. 4. If new gutters are needed, the most appropriate design for hanging gutters is half round. For buildings dating from or influenced by designs from the 1940s or later, ogee gutters are also appropriate. 5. Downspouts should be located away from architectural features and on the least public building elevation. Item 3. Awnings Awnings (page 17) Historically, residents commonly used awnings on their homes. As air conditioning became more common after the 1940s, awning use declined. Awnings can add historic character to late-nineteenth and early- twentieth-century buildings while conserving energy. Their use is encouraged. 1. Awnings may be added to buildings. 2. Awnings should not damage the building or its architectural features. 3. Awnings may be fixed or operating. 4. Awnings should be constructed of canvas duck or cotton and polyester blends and may be treated with acrylic. 5. Awnings should be located above windows or doors or attached to porches. They should not hide architectural features. 6. Awning shape should mimic that of the opening to which it is attached. For rectangular openings, a shed form is appropriate; for arched openings, an arched form is appropriate. Bubble, concave, convex, and internally lit awnings are less appropriate than shed or arched awnings. 7. If cleaning is desired, sweeping the under side with a broom and hosing the upper side with clean water, then allowing the awning to dry completely, is an appropriate method. Twice annually, it is appropriate to clean awnings by scrubbing them with a soft brush and soap (not detergent), rinsing, and drying. Every two to three years awnings may require professional cleaning and waterproofing. Item 4. Shutters Windows (page 37) Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or streetscape. Historic windows should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. 6. Historic shutters should be retained and maintained. 7. Shutters should not be added unless the building historically had them and replacements replicate historic shutters, fit the window opening, and are constructed of painted wood. DRAFT Page 4 of 4 Analysis: The subject property/structure was built more recently than the fifty year old threshold for historic properties. It is also located in a block of 1st Street containing infill structure younger than the fifty year threshold. As a result, the Commission’s primary focus is the impact of the proposed alterations on the overall fabric or character of the historic district. Given the non-contributing nature and age of the structure, the Commission should consider: 1. Whether the appearance of the structure is being significantly altered by the proposed change. 2. Whether the proposed changes are detrimental to the appearance or overall health of the historic district.

PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: April, 2020 Recommendation: Approval, see analysis below. Evaluation: The existing structure will be demolished and a new structure that fits the character of the historic district will be constructed. The new lift station building will resemble the aesthetics of the Public Works building, which resembles the historic 6th street train depot. The following changes are proposed: 1. Demolition of existing wastewater lift station 2. Construction and relocation of a new wastewater lift station.

Pour concrete slab on back porch to divert water (replace brickpavers) DRAFT Page 2 of 4 PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Tommie Williams, Planner I Site Visits Conducted: April 20, 2020 Recommendation: Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure is a residential property, the requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville Residential Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of the manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of the section. Item 1. Re-side exterior Basic Maintenance Advice Materials (page 56) 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. Basic Maintenance Advice Materials (page 57) 4. Where exterior siding has to be replaced the use of siding to match in dimension size and profile is recommended. 5. Use paints consistent (oil or latex) with the existing paint surface for exterior siding. 6. Keep exterior brick clean of mildew, efflorescence and dirt. Also keep exterior brick clean of vines, ivy, and other plant materials. Washing with detergents and water are best for exterior masonry and mortar. Sandblasting, water-blasting and other abrasive cleaning methods are detrimental to historic buildings and should not be used. Item 2. Re-pitch roof and extend roof line to cover back porch; add support columns. Roofs (page 31) Roofs help to determine building style and are important elements of historic appearance. Historic roof shapes and, when feasible, materials, should be retained and maintained. Public visibility of modern features should be very limited. 1. The historic roof shape should be retained. DRAFT Page 3 of 4 2. Roof-related features such as chimneys, shingles, tiles, finials, parapet walls, and cornices should be retained and maintained. 3. If localized damage or deterioration of historic roofing materials occurs, replacement with matching materials is preferred to wholesale removal. 4. If historic roofing materials are severely damaged or deteriorated or are missing and are prohibitively expensive to replace, dark grey, black, brown, dark green, or dark red asphalt or fiberglass shingles may be used. 5. New skylights, solar panels, decks, balconies, and satellite dishes should not be readily visible from the street. 6. New dormers should not be located on primary facades, should be unobtrusive, and should be in keeping with the historic appearance of the building. Porch (page 27) Porches are one of the most defining characteristics of historic houses. Historic porches should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. New porches should be sympathetic to the historic appearance of building to which they are attached. 1. Historic porches visible from the street should be retained and maintained. 2. Deteriorated or damaged porches should be repaired and missing elements replaced. The materials used in repairs should allow the porch to maintain its historic appearance. 3. If the historic porch is missing, it is appropriate to replace it. Replacement porches should use materials and styles that are compatible with the building to which they are attached. 4. Porches visible from the street should remain largely open and unenclosed; if enclosure is desired, lattice panels should be installed behind porch columns and railings and should cover no more than one third of the porch. 5. If screening is desired, minimal structural framework should be used in order to maintain an open appearance. Wood is the preferred material for framing; anodized or baked aluminum is also appropriate. 6. Wood plant trellises are appropriate for porches. Item 3. Add a gable and support columns to front porch. Porch (page 27) Porches are one of the most defining characteristics of historic houses. Historic porches should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. New porches should be sympathetic to the historic appearance of building to which they are attached. 1.

Analysis: The petitioner, would like to reside the exterior of the house. Due to its age (approximately 82 years) the wood exterior has started to deteriorate. As a result, the Commission should address two main questions with this request.

Applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness to complete three projects, including the construction of a fence along East Main Street, Construction of a concrete driveway at current curb cut along East Main Street, and construction of a gazebo structure in the rear yard behind the fence. There is an existing fence along East Main Street that was constructed in April 2020 without HPC Certificate of Appropriateness or Building Permit. Existing fence is 8 feet tall at its maximum with arches to approximately 7 feet (See pictures for details). HPC residential guidelines for fences says “Wood board fences may be located in back yards and should be less than six feet tall.” Hence, the existing fence does not meet HPC guidelines for fences. The current 8 foot privacy fence replaced a white picket fence that does meet the HPC residential fence guidelines. 2. Proposed outdoor entertainment structure appears to meet the guideline of the HPC. In the rear yard it will have limited visibility from the street. If approved by HPC, entertainment structure will have to go through zoning and permitting review prior to construction. 3. Proposed driveway meets the HPC residential guidelines.

DRAFT Page 2 of 3 1984/2007 Historic Properties Inventory Details 115 Maple Street, Wainwright-Smith-Cook House (circa 1860, contributing) - This rectangular one-story frame building has extensive rear additions. Circa 1900, workers moved the formerly detached kitchen and servant’s quarters to connect with the rear of the house. A possible construction date for its deck-roofed porch with chamfered and molded columns and pierced-work wood railing is circa 1880. (Note original structure approved for demolition on June 9, 2016. Front portion and porch removed to new location on West Third Street in 2017. Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition The following alteration has been requested by the applicant. See the application included as Attachment A for a description of each element. 1. Installation of rooftop solar panels and home batteries PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: May, 2020 Recommendation: Consider four questions presented in the staff analysis. Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as a residence, 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. The following changes are proposed: 1. Install rooftop solar panels and home batteries Roofs (page 32) DRAFT Page 3 of 3 Roofs help to determine building style and are important elements of historic appearance. Historic roof shapes and, when feasible, materials, should be retained and maintained. Public visibility of modern features should be very limited. 5. New skylights, solar panels, decks, balconies, and satellite dishes should not be readily visible from the street. Analysis: The petitioner would like to install solar panels on the roof of the house and a battery storage device, likely on the side of the house. Solar panels are most efficient when they face southern exposure, in this case the front of the home, toward Maple Street. However, exact location will be determined once a home assessment is completed by the solar panel manufacturer. Due to the layout of the house, it will be difficult for the rooftop solar panel displays to not be readily visible from the streets that border the property (Maple St., and Bridge St.) and the downtown creekwalk. The petitioner has provided several examples of proposed solar panels from Tesla that show thin (1.57”), low profile, black panels with black frames. See pictures and articles provided by petitioner. Note that the guidelines were published in 2007. Since that time, technology has changed and current-day solar panels may be much less noticeable and visually obtrusive. If the petitioner is able to place the panels in an suitable place and the panels blend into the roof or building materials well enough, then approval may be appropriate. As a result of this information, the Commission should address two primary questions with this request. 1. Does the new architectural feature contribute or protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment? 2. Does the new architectural feature detract from the historic integrity of the property and itx environment? 3. Does the material being utilized closely relate to or resemble the existing shingle roof material? 4. If the commission would like to allow solar panels, where should they be allowed?

The relevant sections of manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of each section. 1. Pool 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.
