Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following changes have been requested by the applicant. See the application
included as Attachment B for the owner’s description of each item.
1. Relocate existing rear doorway – create stairway landing and recessed doorway.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION

Page 2 of 2
Site Visits Conducted: December 14, 2015
Recommendation: Approve door relocation and handrail style and location.
Request door and handrail colors that blend with the building
style and appearance.
Evaluation:
The requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville
Commercial Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of manual are
included. Staff comments/evaluation follow the relevant sections.
Item 1. Relocate existing rear doorway – create stairway landing and recessed
doorway.
Doors and Entrances (page 18)
Doors are often buildings’ central visual elements, so are particularly important features.
Historic entrances and doors should be retained, visible, maintained, and, if needed,
repaired. Missing or severely deteriorated doors should be replaced with historically
appropriate doors. Screen, storm, and security doors should not detract from the
historic appearance of their building.
6. Clear-glass single-light painted wood doors with or without paneling are most
appropriate for replacing primary doors in the district’s commercial buildings. The
opening in secondary entrances may be smaller or doors may be solid wood.
Dark or bronze anodized metal, though less appropriate, may be substituted
for wood.
9. Security doors may be used on doors not visible from the street.
Analysis: In order to bring the non-contributing structure into building code compliance, the
owner is required to create a level landing at the top of the rear staircase (Staff Diagrams 1
and 2). The owner has elected to create the level landing by removing the existing door,
leaving the doorway and creating a new, recessed doorway and door four feet inside the
existing doorway. Code also requires installation of a handrail on one side of the staircase.
The proposed door will be steel. The proposed handrail will be fabricated out of steel pipe.
The interior of the level landing will be lined with dark gray corrugated.
The proposed modification appears to meet the requirements outlined in the Commission’s
guidelines.
