City Staff were unable to find any record of this plat being recorded. DR A F T Page 2 of 3 C. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: D. EVALUATION/COMMENTS: Street Connectivity: The proposed plat has access to North Memorial Drive via two access drives and access to Wetumpka Street via Prattville Square Shopping Center parking lot. Water/Sewer: Existing water and sewer are available at the site. B-3 (Community Shopping) District Standards: Lot requirements for uses in B-3 zoning include the following:  Community type retail  Must have access to major artery MINIMUM SETBACKS AND YARD SIZES:  Front 35 feet  Rear 35 feet  Sides 35 feet MINIMUM/MAXIMUM LOT SIZE: It is the intent of the ordinance that lots of sufficient size be used for any business or service use to provide adequate parking and loading space in addition to the space required for the other operations of the business or service.  Minimum Area None specified  Minimum Width at Building Line None specified  Maximum Height 35 feet or 2 stories  Maximum Lot Coverage 20% Direction Land Use Zoning North Vacant / Forested B-2 South Commercial (Auto Service Station and Hospital) B-3 / B-2 East Commercial / Residential B-2 / R-2 West Commercial / Multi-Family Residential B-3 / B-2 DR A F T Page 3 of 3 Staff Comments: The proposed preliminary plat, Prattville Square Shopping Center Plat No. 1, proposes to combine two parcels that currently include Prattville Square Shopping Center buildings and three outbuildings. Additionally, this subdivision proposes to cut out an outparcel that borders North Memorial Drive creating two new parcels, Lot A, approximately 8.11 acres, including Prattville Square Shopping Center and one outbuilding and a smaller parcel, Lot B, approximately 1.02 acres, bordering North Memorial Drive that includes First Franklin Financial (111 North Memorial Drive) and the former Fountain City Pharmacy (105 North Memorial Drive) buildings. All parcels as part of this subdivision have sufficient street connectivity to North Memorial Drive and Wetumpka Street. All parcels also have access to existing water and sewer facilities. As drawn, this preliminary plat creates a non-conforming lot due to setbacks in B-3 zoning district. B-3 zoning district requires setbacks of 35 feet on all sides. Proposed Lot B creates setbacks of approximately 8 feet on the south side and approximately 10 feet on the west side, which would be in violation of the Prattville Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. City Staff reviewed the Prattville Square Shopping Center preliminary plat and has provided extensive comments for developer to address. Waiver Request: Applicant is requesting a waiver from the City of Prattville Subdivisions Regulations related to creating a non- conforming lot. Specifically, the waiver request is a request for relief from the setback requirements for the district. Please see specific Subdivision regulations in violation below. Code of Ordinances City of Prattville, Alabama Appendix B – Subdivision Regulations Article V. – General Requirements and Minimum Design Standards Section A. – Conformity to general community plan. (1) All proposed subdivisions shall conform to the city zoning ordinance and the community plan. Section F. – Lots (1) Layout: Lot sizes, width, depth, shape, and orientations, together with minimum building setback lines, shall be appropriate to the location of the subdivisions, the zoning, and the type of development or use intended.

He stated that the proposed plat meets the requirements of the Subdivision 50 Regulations and Zoning Ordinance and staff recommends approval. 51 52 Chairman Smith opened the floor for public comments. Mary Ann Wingard, asked who is responsible for 53 maintaining the private street, Birdsong Street. 54 55 DR A F T Draft Prattville Planning Commission August 19, 2021 Minutes Page 2 of 2 Ronald Ramos, stated that he is a long time Habitat homebuilder. He stated that Habitat homeowners have always 56 been good neighbors in contributing to their neighborhood. 57 58 The public hearing was closed. 59 60 Mr. Mullins introduced a resolution recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Birdsong Plat 2 and moved 61 for its approval. Mr. Gardner seconded the motion. 62 63 Richard Short, representative for Habitat for Humanity of Autauga and Chilton Counties, addressed comments 64 about street maintenance. He stated that Habitat homeowners are on either side of Birdsong Street at the entrance 65 off Lower Kingston Road. That portion of the road would be considered as home maintenance for the homeowner. 66 He stated that home maintenance is monitored by Habitat administration as required by the homeowners 67 partnering with Habitat. 68 69 Daon Johnson, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Autauga and Chilton Counties, addressed the 70 Commission and explained the process that the organization follow to ensure that property is being maintained 71 by Habitat homeowners.
