The relevant sections of the manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of the section. Item 1. New Structure-Adding new window boxes and shutters (replacing old 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. 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. 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 full view design or have a central meeting rail in the same location as the window. 10. Security windows and bars should not be visible from the street. CITY OF PRATTVILLE Historic Preservation Commission Planning Department Staff Report 3 Item 2. New Fence Fence (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 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. 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.
