Deteriorated or damaged windows should be repaired so that the windows retain their historic appearances. Epoxy is helpful in strengthening and replacing deteriorated wood. 4. Missing windows or elements should be replaced so that they replicate the historic windows or other historic examples. 5. Replacement windows should be of wood to match the original. The use of vinyl or aluminum clad windows may also be appropriate if they match the original window. 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 when closed, and are constructed of painted wood. 8. Screen and storm windows should be constructed of painted wood, baked-on enamel, anodized aluminum, or painted-to-match-the-frames mill-finish aluminum. 9. Screen and storm windows should fit within the window frames. 10. Storm windows should be full-view design or have a central meeting rail that is placed in the same location as the windows. 11.

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. 5. Install vinyl replacement windows. 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. 5. Install vinyl replacement windows. Item 1. Vinyl fascia, soffit, and siding Page 3 of 4 Item 2. Gutters and downspouts Gutters and Downspouts (page 21) 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. Page 4 of 4 Item 4. Windows Windows (page 36) 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. 1. Historic windows should be retained and maintained. 2. Historic windows should remain visible and their openings transparent. 3. Deteriorated or damaged windows should be repaired so that the windows retain their historic appearances. 4. The replacement of original windows with vinyl or aluminum windows is discouraged. If vinyl or aluminum windows are used they should match the original windows as closely as possible in dimensions and depth of meeting rails and muntin bars. 5. Missing windows or elements should be replaced so that they replicate the historic windows or other historic examples. Window openings should not be added or removed from locations visible from the street. 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. 8. Screen and storm windows should be constructed of painted wood, baked-on enamel, anodized aluminum, or painted-to-match-the-frames mill-finish aluminum. 9. Screen, storm, and security windows should fit within the window frames and be fullview design or have a central meeting rail in the same location as the window. 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. 1ST ST MAPLE STS CHESTNUT STOAKCREEKCIRP L E T C H E R S T 1ST ST MAPLE ST S CHESTNUT STOAK CREEK CIR168 104 136 143137123 127 135 131 342 133 108 110 112 114 116 118 120 122 124 126 128 154 133 341 335 331 325 102 148 106 150 148136 141 121 119 101 412 408 Aerial Map - 128 Oak Creek Circle ± Legend Address Points Streets Subject Area Autauga Tax Parcels 0 250125 Feet Locations are approximate 1ST ST OAK CREEK CIR1ST ST OAK CREEK CIR131 122 124 126 128 Location Map - 128 Oak Creek Circle ± Legend Address Points Streets Subject Area Autauga Tax Parcels 0 5025 Feet Locations are approximate 1ST ST OAK CREEK CIR1ST ST OAK CREEK CIR131 122 124 126 128B-2 Zoning Map - 128 Oak Creek Circle ± Legend Address Points Streets Subject Area Autauga Tax Parcels B-2 0 5025 Feet Locations are approximate CITY OF PRATTVILLE Historic Preservation Commission Planning Department Staff Report CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 216 First Street – CA2005-04 DATE May 28, 2020 PROPOSED DEVLOPMENT Petitioner: Eva Jane Butler Property Owner: Eva Jane Butler Agent: N/A Location: 216 First Street Review Status and History Submission Status: Previous Approvals: 1984/2007 Historic Properties Inventory Details 216 East First Street: 1950; one-story, frame with shingle siding, basically rectangular, gable roof, small front stoop.

Adding a deck on side of above ground pool with steps and handrails in backyard. PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Tommie Williams, Planner 1 Site Visits Conducted: Recommendation: May 2020 Approval, see analysis below Evaluation: Page 2 of 2 Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as and remains a residential structure, 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. 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. 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. The proposed pool will meet guideline 1 as the swimming pool will be located in the back yard and have limited visibility from a public vantage point. Guideline 2 will be met as the proposed pool will be located behind a chain link fence with limited visibility from the front yard. The backyard view is obstructed by neighbor’s privacy fence. 2. Adding a deck on side of above ground pool with steps and handrails in backyard. Decks (page 38) Decks are popular modern features. If added to district buildings, they should be constructed on a building’s rear elevation or another location not visible from the street. 1. Decks should be located on the rear elevations of buildings. They may also be located on a side elevation if screened from view from the street through fencing or plants. 2. Decks should be constructed of wood or metal. The proposed deck will meet guideline 1 as the deck will not be visible from the street. Guideline 2 will be met as the proposed deck will be constructed of wood. Analysis: The petitioner would like to add a pool with 12x8 deck, steps, and a 10x32 foot deck. Handrails and lattice around the bottom of the pool with a gate. Swimming pools and wading pools with a depth of one (1) foot or more in any portion of the pool, and not located within a permanently and completely walled structure, shall be constructed no closer than ten (10) feet of any property line. 1ST ST ± Legend Subject Area Address Points Streets Autauga Tax Parcels 0 10050 Feet Locations are approximate Aerial Map - 216 1st St 1ST ST DOSTER ST E MAIN ST MAPLE ST S NORTHINGTON STSELMA HWYMONCRIEF STS WASHINGTON STD O S T E R R DCOLLEGE STOAK CREEK CIR± Legend Subject Area Address Points Streets Autauga Tax Parcels 0 500250 Feet Locations are approximate Location Map - 216 1st St 1ST ST DOSTER STS WASHINGTON STSELMA HWYR-2B-2 R-3 R-6 O-1 ± Legend Subject Area Address Points Streets Autauga Tax Parcels R-2 R-3 R-6 B-2 O-1 0 200100 Feet Locations are approximate Zoning Map - 216 1st St Page 1 of 3 Planning Department Staff Report Historic Preservation Commission CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS 115 Maple Street – CA2005-03 DATE May 28, 2020 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Petitioner: Thomas M.

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: Approve with Conditions, see analysis below. 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) 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 is the front of the home, toward Maple Street. However, exact location will be determined once a home assessment is completed by the solar panel manufacture. 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 it environment? 3. Does the material being utilized closely relate to or resemble the existing shingle roof structure? 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. The following changes are proposed: 1. Construct privacy fence 2. Construct outdoor entertaining area in rear yard 3. Construct concrete drive to double gate Item 1. Privacy Fence 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 effect on the district’s historic character. 1. Historic fences and walls should be retained and maintained. 2. Wood and metal picket fences are appropriate new construction. If wooden, they should be painted using colors complementary to the adjacent house. They should be less than Page 3 of 4 three feet tall, and the pickets should be set less than three inches apart and be less than four inches in width. 3. Cast iron fences are appropriate for 19th and early 20th century dwellings. These fences should be less than three feet tall. a. Cast-iron and wood fences are appropriate for front yards of pre-1910 houses. 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. 5. Free-standing brick or concrete walls may be located in back yards or, if not visible from the street, side yards. 6. Chain-link fences may be located in back yards or, if not visible from the street, side yards. Chain-link fences should be painted dark green or black, coated with green or black plastic, or screened with plants. 7. Split or horizontal rail, railroad tie, or timber fences may be located in rear yards but should be avoided on the fronts of houses. Item 2. Gazebo / Outdoor Entertainment Area Gazebos and Pergolas (Page 48) 1. Gazebos and pergolas should be constructed of wood and painted in colors sympathetic to the adjoining building. 2. Gazebos and pergolas should not obscure views or damage historic features of the adjoining building. 3. Gazebos and pergolas should be located out of or with limited public view. Item 3. Driveway Driveways, Sidewalks, and Walkways (page 44) Driveways, sidewalks, and walkways are common district features. Historic examples should be retained and maintained, and new construction should follow historic examples. 1. Historic driveways, sidewalks, and walkways should be retained and maintained. 2. Driveways should be of gravel, concrete ribbons, grass and dirt, or concrete. Blacktop and asphalt driveways were not historically features of the district, and should be avoided. Driveways should be located to the side of the house. 3. Residential parking areas larger than one car width should be screened and located behind the house or out of view from the sidewalk. 4. Sidewalks are typically concrete and located between a narrow strip of grass bordering the street and the yard. New sidewalks should follow these historic models 5. Many district residences have narrow concrete walkways connecting the sidewalk or street to the main entrance. New walkways should follow these historic models. Analysis: 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 Page 4 of 4 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.” The current 8 foot privacy fence replaced a white picket fence that does meet the HPC residential fence guidelines. The outdoor entertainment structure appears to meet the guideline of the HPC. In the rear yard it will have limited visibility from the street. The proposed driveway meets the HPC residential guidelines.
