Previous Approvals: N/A 1984/2007 Historic Properties Inventory Details 130 Fourth Street (Ward Chapel A.M.E. Church): c.1891; one story over raised basement, frame (now covered with brick veneer except for pediment of facade), rectangular with gable roof and projecting corner belltower capped by pyramidal steeple, Gothic window openings all round. Building severely altered in 1953, including brick veneer and present brick-pier porch. African Methodist Episcopal congregation purchased church site in 1891 for $150 from estate of Page 2 of 4 Merrill Pratt, Daniel Pratt's nephew. Church erected soon afterward. Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition The following alterations have been requested by the applicant. See the application included as Attachment A for a description of each element. 1. Replace current parking lot with asphalt paving PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: January 2021 Recommendation: Approval Proposed project is in keeping with the Historic Preservation Commercial Guidelines. Proposed project does not detract from the existing structure. Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as, and remains a commercial/institutional structure, 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. The following changes are proposed: 1. Replace current parking lot with asphalt paving Parking Lots (page 47) Parking lots can have dramatic affects on the historic character of the district. Their construction should include planning to mitigate these affects by avoiding the demolition of historic buildings or the creation of large physical voids in the landscape. 1. In planning and constructing parking lots, historic landscape elements, particularly buildings, should be protected. 2. In the commercial downtown, the current pattern of street parking and locating parking lots behind historic buildings and out of pedestrian view should be continued. Page 3 of 4 3. Shared parking used by businesses or institutions with different peak use times should be utilized. 4. Parking and pedestrian areas should be clearly differentiated. Item 1 Recommendation: Approval There is little guidance in the Prattville Commercial Design Review Guidelines specifically concerning development or modification of parking lots. The majority of the guidance is along the lines of maintaining and preserving the historic landscape elements, historic buildings, and pedestrian areas. The existing parking facility at Wards Chapel church is made up of crushed gravel and grass. Applicant is proposing ____ parking spaces in the new asphalt parking lot.
