Details
120 West Fourth Street, Smith House (circa 1860,
contributing) This one-story frame house is covered in
asbestos-shingle siding and has a hip-and-gable roof. It
has a narrow front porch with a pediment and a rear
wing.
Staff note: Structure appears to have been modified
several times to add rear wings and enclose porches.

PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP
Site Visits Conducted: September 24 and 25, 2011
Recommendation: Item 1: Approve
Item 2: Approve. The Commission should request
additional details on the window design.
Item 3: Approve.
Item 4: Approve.
Item 5: Approve. The Commission should request
additional details on the door design.
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. Remove existing siding to reveal clapboard siding underneath. Replace
mismatched or damaged with matching wood boards.
Basic Maintenance Advice (Page 58)
1. Prevent water from making contact with exterior wood siding. Of particular importance
is keeping all gutters and downspouts in good repair to keep water from infiltrating the
wood surface.
2. All exposed wood should be kept painted, stained or treated with preservatives.
3. Repairs for wood siding such as cracks can be made through the use of waterproof
glue. Large cracks may be filled with caulk followed by putty. The surface should then
be sanded, allowed to dry, and painted.
4. Where exterior siding has to be replaced the use of siding to match in dimension, size
and profile is recommended.
Page 3 of 6
Analysis:
When the Commission formulated and adopted design guidelines for district structures, it
elected not to create a design standard for siding materials other than brick. This was
primarily due to the earlier use of siding material such as aluminum, asbestos, vinyl, etc.
on many of the structures in the district. The Commission offered maintenance guidelines
for those structures where someone wishes to maintain or restore original wood siding.
The applicant’s proposal to reveal and refurnish the existing siding is consistent with the
Commission’s maintenance guidelines. The applicant’s proposed work will correct several
mismatched patches hidden by the present siding.
Item 2. Remove and replace existing windows. Existing front windows will remain.
Windows on the front quarter of the east and west sides will be replaced with new 9
over 9 wood framed windows. All other windows will be standardized to new 6 over
6 wood framed 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.
Analysis:
As noted earlier the subject structure has been altered and added to several times. Only
the front façade and the front quarter of the side façade contain windows of a similar or
standard design. The other windows are mismatched and appear to have been added
as needed or available. The applicant proposes replacement windows on the front and
front quarter of each side that maintain the size, mass and relative appearance of the
existing windows. The remaining window openings will be replaced with standardized
wooden windows that match the 6 over 6 pattern of the front windows. All of the existing
Page 4 of 6
windows are in various stages of decay. While the Commission’s guidelines call for
rehabilitation and repair of existing windows, such a requirement in this case may be
cost prohibitive. The applicant proposal to replace them with wood windows is
consistent with the guidelines.
The applicant’s supplement to the application states that the windows will match the
existing. The Commission should request an exact picture, drawing or sample of the
proposed replacement that may be referenced in the approving motion.
Item 3. Rebuild the existing brick and concrete porch with new wooden porch.
Replace existing metal railing and column with wooden railing and columns.
Porches (page 27)
Porches are one of the most defining characteristics of historic houses. H istoric
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.
Analysis:
The existing porch is likely not original to the building. As noted by the applicant
the design of the existing porch has contributed to the decay of adjacent portions
of main structure. A review of similar Greek Revival structures in the district
suggests that the metal railing and posts were a later addition; most likely added
with the brick and concrete porch. The applicant proposes to create a new wood
front porch with replacement wood railing and columns. Since the existing porch
does not match the design of the structure and must be replaced, the proposal is
the consistent with the Commission’s guidelines.
Page 5 of 6
Item 4. Make front door handicapped accessible by adding ramp to east side of
porch and east side of house.
Porches (page 39)
Ramps are important means of providing access to buildings. Because they were
not historically common, new ramps should be subtle in design and placement.
1. Ramps should be constructed of wood and painted in colors sympathetic to those
of the building.
2. Ramps should be simple in design. They may be designed to match the porch
railing.
3. The construction and placement of ramps should not destroy or obscure defining
building features.
Analysis:
The applicant’s design is consistent with the Commission’s guidelines.
Item 5. Replace existing door with new doorway. New doorway will have sidelight
windows and a fanlight window above the door. New door will be a solid panel.
Doors (page 18)
Doors are often buildings’ central visual elements and are particularly important
features. Historic entrances and doors should be retained, maintained, and, if
needed, repaired. Missing or severely deteriorated doors should be replaced with
historically appropriate replacements. Screen, storm, and security doors should not
detract from the historic appearance of their building.
1. Historic doors should be retained and maintained.
2. Deteriorated or damaged historic doors should be repaired using methods that
allow them to retain their historic appearance and as much of their historic fabric
as possible. Epoxy is helpful in strengthening and replacing deteriorated wood.
3. Owners are encouraged to replace missing or severely dam aged historic doors
with replacements that replicate the original or other similar examples.
4. Replacements for primary residential doors may appropriately be of painted
paneled wood with or without a clear-glass single or multiple-light opening.
Page 6 of 6
Analysis:
The existing door is not severely damaged and can be repaired. The applicant’s
proposal to add side lights and a fan light that are common to many of the Greek
Revival structures in Prattville. However, it not clear whether this structure ever had
such features. The Commission might request additional documentation to show that
the existing doorway had been altered in the past. If the applicant’s proposed
modification is allowed, the Commission should request an exact picture, drawing or
sample of the proposed replacement that m ay be referenced in the approving motion.

Proposed Alteration (general description): Maintenance and repair on exterior of structure
to include: removal of siding tiles, repair of clapboard siding and replacing any damaged
siding with antique heart pine wood clapboard siding milled to match , repair of exterior trim
and replacing any damaged trim with antique heart pine wood milled to match and repair of
eaves and replacing any damaged wood with antique heart pine wood milled to match.
I am requesting to be allowed to replace the existing windows with operational wood
windows that are character appropriate. The current windows are of 7 different sizes and
the only functional windows are the front windows. I want to leave the existing front
windows. The three front side windows will be replaced with 9/9 (which will fit the existing
openings and appear to be the original size) wood framed windows and trimmed to match
the front windows with antique heart pine wood painted white. The rest of the wi ndows will
match the front window, they will be 6/6 wood framed windows (which will fit the existing
openings) and will be trimmed to match the front windows with antique heart pine wood
painted white. All trim work will replicate the original trim found on the one original window.
I have provided a sample of the window construction.
ATTACHMENT B
One of the two residents is handicapped (my mother) and requires the use of a wheelchair.
The second resident (me) has been diagnosed with degenerative bone disease and will
need the use of a wheel chair later in life. I am requesting to be allowed to make this house
handicapped accessible which will require the installation of ramps and the rebuild of the
dilapidated front porch.
The front porch is not original. It is concrete that has been over a hollow void, it is cracking
and it has sunk ten inches from the base of the house. I do not wish to change the size of
the porch. I want to rebuild the porch using wood materials that would have been used
when it was originally built. I will use treated pine wood for the structure and wrap it in
antique cypress wood. I will use antique cypress wood to build the handrails and decking. I
will rebuild the front steps using the same materials and not altering the existing size. I will
remove the rusty metal supports that are obviously not original and install one round
tapered wood Tuscan column on each corner of the porch to support the roof.
I would like to remove the irreparable and non-original metal porch roof braces and
handrails and replace them with two character appropriate columns and handrails such as
on the historic home pictured below.
Sample House Above My House
Sample House Above With Porch, Handrail And Step Construction That I Will Use
The Ramp At The Arts Building Downtown Prattville My Ramp Will Have This Handrail
I must make this house handicapped accessible without distracting from the original
character. I will build the ramp in a manner that will allow it not to appear as a ramp and to
be removed in the future by using screws to affix it to the house instead of nails. The ADA
recommends a slope of 1:12. My porch height is 34 inches off the ground therefore I will
require a long ramp to safely accommodate wheelchair access. The minimum inside width
of the ramp must be at least 36 inches. This means the ramp must be built at least 42-
inches wide to allow for a handrail. The ramp will be constructed on the east side of the
front porch and wrap around the structure leading to an incline towards the rear of the
house. The construction is very similar to the Arts building downtown Prattville but my
ramp will be more refined with a handrail that matches the front porch. It will not appear to
be a ramp. I will use treated pine wood for the ramp structure and wrap it in antique
cypress wood. I will use antique cypress wood to build the handrails and decking. I will
visually obscure the ramp from the street view with the use of landscaping.

Signs (page 34)
Signs are important means of advertising and establishing business identities, and
establishments should have flexibility in determining what modern signage to use
while respecting the residential character of their host neighborhoods.
1. Sign usage should be kept to a minimum. In residential areas no more than two
signs should be placed on the property.
2. New signs should be of historically appropriate materials such as finished wood,
glass, copper, or bronze.
3. New signs should be scaled to be in proportion to the property.
4. Simplicity in design and content is recommended.
5. Colors used in signs should be coordinated with their buildings. Three colors or less
should be used per sign.
6. Lighting sources for signs should be external and concealed.
7. New signs should be installed in locations historically used for signs such as on
awnings, on upper façade walls covering five percent or less of the wall surface,
inside windows, or projecting from the building façade or elevation. Signs should
not cover or obscure architectural features.
Analysis:
No details concerning the proposed height or lighting were provided by the applicant.
Page 3 of 4
Based on the presented details, the proposed sign meets the Commission’s design
guidelines for signs except for item 2 which states, “New signs should be of historically
appropriate materials such as finished wood, glass, copper, or bronze.” The Commission
should evaluate the proposed sign against item 3 to determine if the sign is the appropriate
scale for the property and main structure. The area of the proposed sign is 32 square feet.
The area of Dr. Nichols’ sign provided as an example is 12.6 square feet. The Commission
should also establish the proposed height and method of lighting the sign before taking
action on this request.

PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP
Site Visits Conducted: October 22, 2012
Recommendation: 148 East Main Street is not a historic or contributing structure
in the historic district. Commission should consider whether
proposed signage is generally consistent with past practice
and district guidelines. Proposed building signage is
generally consistent with the guidelines. The internally
illuminated and high mount pylon signage does not meet the
guidelines. Recommend exploring signage that is more
consistent with the guidelines.
Evaluation:
Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as a commercial property, 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/evaluations are summarized at the end of each section.
Item 1. Install 10’ wide, 7’ 6” tall pylon sign at a total height of 20’. Sign will be
internally illuminated.
Item 2. Install 8’ 6” wide, 5’ 10’’ tall monument sign on a 4’ 2” base at a total height
of 10’. Sign will be internally illuminated.
Item 3. Install 12’ wide, 2’ 6” tall non-illuminated logo and letters sign on the front
façade (same location as existing sign).
Item 4. Install 2’ 2”, 2’ tall non-illuminated logo to the rear façade.
Signs (page 29)
Signs are important elements in the historic and commercial character of the
downtown business district, and historic signage should be retained and maintained.
Signs are also important means of advertising and establishing business identities.
2. New signs should be of traditional materials such as finished wood, glass, copper,
or bronze.
3. New signs should be installed in locations historically used for signs such as on
awnings, on upper façade walls covering five percent or less of the wall surface,
inside windows, or projecting from the building façade or elevation. Signs should
not cover or obscure architectural features.
Page 3 of 3
4. New signs should be properly proportioned relative to their buildings.
5. Letters should be eighteen or less inches high and should cover sixty percent or
less of the total sign area.
6. Colors used in signs should be coordinated with their buildings. Three colors or less
should be used per sign.
8. Lighting sources for signs should be external and concealed. The exception is if
historic or replica neon signs are used.
Analysis:
Items 1 and 2. While the bank building is not a historic structure, the Commission
should consider the impact of the proposed signage on the overall appearance of the
historic district. The proposed signs are more consistent with Commission’s regulations
than the existing signs. The Commission might consider the following alterations to the
proposed freestanding signs to bring them closer the design guidelines.
1. Eliminate high mount signage. Both signs should be monument signs. Given the
relatively slow speed, narrow streets on both frontages, low monument signs are
sufficient for site identification.
2. Convert the two signs to external illumination.
Items 3 and 4. These signs are generally consistent with the Commission guidelines
and acceptable for the non-historic building.

140 North Northington Street (circa 1900,
contributing) This irregularly shaped, one-story,
aluminum-sided, frame house with a combination hip and
gable roof has a projecting bay on the Northern side of
the façade and a half-hipped inset porch.
Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following changes have been requested by the applicant. See the application
included as Attachment A for the owner’s description of each item.
1. Demolition and removal of existing brick patio and retaining wall at the rear of the
house.
2. Add 15’ x 24’, screen room with insulated panel roof to the rear of the structure.
Room will have solid lower panels and a single door.
3. Relocate existing chain link fence.
4. Construct new retaining wall and concrete walkway at the rear of the house.

PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP
Site Visits Conducted: October 22, 2011
Recommendation: Items 1, 3, and 4: Approval. Commission should
obtain specifications for the replacement wall, patio
pavers and walkway.
Item 2: Obtain specific details on which presented
example will be constructed. Details should include
materials and roof design and pitch.
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. Demolition and removal of existing brick patio and retaining wall at the rear
of the house.
Item 3. Relocate existing chain link fence.
Item 4. Construct new retaining wall and concrete walkway at the rear of the house.
Fences and Walls (page 47)
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.
6. Free-standing brick or concrete walls may be located in back yards or, if not
visible from the street, side yards.
7. 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.
Analysis:
The Commission’s adopted guidelines have little to say about patios and walls. This is
especially true of patios, walkways and walls located at the rear of the structure and out
of view of the street. In general, the guidelines grant substantial leeway if the
Page 3 of 4
construction is not visible from the street should address three main questions with this
request. No details on the appearance and layout of the proposed new retaining wall,
pavers and walkway have been provided by the applicant. Commission should request
appearance details on the new installation.
Item 2. Add 15’ x 24’, screen room with insulated panel roof to the rear of the
structure. Room will have solid lower panels and a single door.
Additions (page 40)
Additions to dwellings are appropriate as long as they are placed on rear elevations
or non-readily visible side elevations. Additions should be designed to complement
the historic qualities of the dwelling.
1. Additions should cause minimal damage or removal of historic walls, roofs, and
features from historic buildings. Existing openings should be used to connect the
building and the addition.
2. Additions should have no or limited visibility from the street. Generally, rear
elevations are appropriate locations for additions.
3. Additions should be compatible with the original building in scale, proportion,
rhythm, and materials.
4. Additions should be distinguishable from the historic building: they should be
smaller and simpler in design.
