204 N. Northington Street and 216, 224, and 234 N. Northington Street. He stated that the petitioner received 37 approval for new residential structures for the property in June 2020. The fences were not included in the approval. 38 The petitioner is now requesting approval for the existing unpermitted fence in the side yard at 204 N. Northington 39 Street and future fences at 216, 224, and 234 N. Northington Street. He stated that the fence is a picket style of 40 wood construction which stands at 42 inches in height. Because this is a corner lot, the frontage bordering 6th Street 41 is considered front yard. He stated that the guidelines state fences in the front yards should be less than 36 inches 42 tall. The fencing is consistent with other fences in the area in terms of height and style and consistent with the 43 Historic Guidelines. He stated that staff recommends approval contingent that the fence be painted to compliment 44 the home per the guidelines. 45 46 Mr. Rigsby stated that the fencing for 216, 224, and 234 N. Northington Street is proposed to be constructed in the 47 side and rear yard will be the same as 204 N. Northington Street. The proposed fences are within the guidelines. He 48 stated that staff recommends approval contingent that the fences be painted to blend with the main structure. 49 50
Steve Till, petitioner, presented the request for a fence on property located at 204 N. Northington Street and 216, 51 224, and 234 N. Northington Street. He stated that the fences will be painted to match the main structure. 52 53

Architectural Features (page 15)
Historic architectural features commonly found in Prattville include brick, wood, or terracotta
columns and capitals; wood pediments and trim; and window surrounds. These
features are important stylistic elements and should be retained, visible, maintained,
and, if needed, repaired.
1. Historic architectural features should be retained and maintained.
2. Historic architectural features should remain visible.
3. Cleaning should only occur in response to serious staining. In general, water, detergent,
and brushes are appropriate cleaning tools.
4. Deteriorated or damaged historic architectural features should be repaired using
methods that allow them to retain their historic appearance and as much of their historic
fabric as possible.
5. For decaying wood, using epoxy to strengthen damaged areas and fill in small openings
is appropriate. For large areas of decay, cutting out damaged areas and piecing
new wood into the gap is appropriate.
6. For lightly rusted metal features, hand scraping or chipping or use of a wire brush are
appropriate ways to remove rust and damaged paint. If rusting is heavy, alternative
methods include low pressure grit or sand blasting, flame cleaning, and chemical treatment.
These latter methods are more hazardous and should be undertaken with professional
help. For their protection, adjacent materials such as brick, glass, and wood
should always be covered during grit blasting. Metal pieces should be painted immediately
following rust and paint removal. Epoxies may be used to fill small gaps.
7. Owners are encouraged to replace missing or severely damaged historic architectural

features with replacements that replicate the original features or other similar examples.
8. Architectural features should not be added to buildings where none historically existed.
Doors & Entrances (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 damaged 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.
5. Historic screen doors and shutters should be retained.
6. New screen doors should be sympathetic to the style of the house, have a wood
frame, and be full view or have structural members that align with those of the door.
7. Storm doors should be full view and of baked-on enamel or anodized aluminum.
8. Security doors are appropriate for entrances not visible from the street. Security
doors should have sufficient glass to view the historic door behind it.
Porches (page 27)
Porches are one of the most defining characteristics of historic houses. Historic porches
should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. New porches should be sympathetic
to the historic appearance of the 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.
5. If screening is desired, minimal structural framework should be used in order to maintain
an open appearance. Wood is the preferred material for framing; anodized or
baked aluminum is also appropriate.
DR

T
Page 5 of 5
6. Wood plant trellises are appropriate for porches.
Windows (page 34)
Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or
streetscape. Sometimes, particularly in industrial buildings, they are the dominant visual element
of a building exterior. Historic windows should be retained, visible, 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 appearance.
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.
Analysis
The applicant came before the board on 2/28/2013 to get approval for the same items that are before
you. Mr. Booth was granted approval to repair/restore the house back to its originality before the fire.
It was stated that the applicant would use restored salvaged material where possible. New material
will be replicated to match the historic culture of the house.
The meeting being held on March 24, 2022, is for window replacement and restoration. It should be
noted that the four-original floor-to-ceiling windows were destroyed during the fire and recently
replaced with non-functioning vinyl windows. There are four original windows located on the north
elevation of the house. The metal shingled roof has already been installed per the 2013 approval.

as Attachment A for a description of each element.
1. Construction of Accessory Structure
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner
Site Visits Conducted: March, 2022
Recommendation: Approve
Evaluation:
Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as a residence, 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. The following changes are proposed:
1. Construction of Accessory Structure
Outbuildings (page 50)
Outbuildings contribute to the historic and residential character of the district. Historic outbuildings should be retained and maintained. New outbuildings should use design, materials, and placement that
support the district’s historic character.
1. Historic outbuildings should be retained and maintained. 2. New outbuildings should be smaller than the adjoining main building. 3. New outbuildings should be simple in appearance. 4. New outbuildings should use building and roof forms compatible to those used in the adjoining main building.
5. New outbuildings should use materials compatible to those used in the adjoining main buildings. Outbuildings that are not visible from public vantage points or have very limited visibility may use modern synthetic siding materials.

Analysis:
The petitioner would like to place a 120 square foot (10 ft x 12 ft) accessory structure at the rear of the
property. The proposed accessory structure is a pre-fabricated Tuff Shed brand structure, with 6’
wooden walls, shingle roof, and a single door. Proposed location is a wooded area of the lot, with limited
visibility from Pletcher Street, Maple Street, or surrounding properties. Proposed accessory structure is
consistent with the Historic Guidelines, and due to the limited visibility and non-contributing status of the
primary structure, staff recommends approval.

Details
115 Maple Street, Wainwright-Smith-Cook House
(circa 1860, contributing) – This rectangular one-story
frame building has extensive rear additions. Circa 1900,
workers moved the formerly detached kitchen and
servant’s quarters to connect with the rear of the house.
A possible construction date for its deck-roofed porch
with chamfered and molded columns and pierced-work
wood railing is circa 1880.
Note original structure approved for demolition on June
9, 2016. Front portion and porch removed to new
location on West Third Street in 2017.
Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following alterations have been requested by the applicant.
1. Place Decorative Fountain in Front Yard
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner
Site Visits Conducted: March 2022
Recommendation: Approval
Proposed project does not detract from the existing
structures in the area. See staff evaluation for additional
details.

Page 3 of 6
Evaluation:
Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as a residence, 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. The following changes are proposed:
1. Place Decorative Fountain in Front Yard
Pools and Fountains (Residential Guidelines, page 51)
Pools and fountains are modern elements that can be most welcome on a summer day! New
pools and fountains should use placement that minimizes their effect on the district’s historic
character.
Pools and fountains should be located behind buildings and out of public view.
Fences and plantings should be used to shield pools or fountains from public view.
1. Swimming pools and fountains should be located in the back yards and have limited
visibility from public vantage points.
2. Plants and/or fencing should be used to screen views of pools or fountains.
Item 1 Recommendation: Approval
Applicant is proposing to place a decorative cast iron fountain in the front yard of 115 Maple
Street, between the front porch and the driveway. Proposed fountain will stand approximately 7
feet in height, and be similar in design and material to an existing City fountain at the corner of
Court St. and Main St., the Musgrove Fountain, and a proposed City fountain inside the
roundabout at the intersection of Maple Street and Bridge Street. Fountain will be purchased
from the same company, Robinson Iron, as the Musgrove Fountain and the proposed
roundabout fountain. Considering the context, location, style and materials, staff recommend
approval

Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following addition has been requested by the applicant. See the application included.
1. Install an approximately 8ft tall water fountain in the roundabout located at
the intersection of Bridge Street and Maple Street
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, Planning Director
Site Visits Conducted: March 2022
Recommendation: Approval
Evaluation:
The subject property is a new roundabout constructed in the intersection of Bridge Street and Maple Street.
Property to the west is the site of the Daniel Pratt Gin Company that is currently being converted to
apartments (residential), to the south is the local Masonic lodge, and to the east is a single family housing.
The subject property is between a former industrial site (the apartment project will be maintaining the
industrial look), a civic building, and a recently built residential house. The Prattville Commercial Design
Review Guidelines Manual has no reference to or information on fountains. The Prattville Residential
Design Review Guidelines Manual does. The relevant sections of manual are included. Staff
comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of each section.
Staff Analysis / Recommendation:
1. Install fountain in roundabout.
Pools and Fountains (Residential Guidelines page 51)
1. Swimming pools and fountains should be located in the back yards and have limited
visibility from public vantage points.
2. Plants and/or fencing should be used to screen views of pools or fountains.

Staff Analysis
The “Musgrove Fountain” in Downtown’s Heritage Park has become a well known and welcome icon
of Prattville. The Musgrove Fountain is featured on page 3 of the Prattville Commercial Design
Review Guidelines Manual in the section on the Intent and Purpose of Design Guidelines. However, the
Commercial Manual has no reference to fountains, and the Residential Manual states that fountains
should be limited from the public view.
The proposal for the roundabout fountain will be very similar to the Musgrove Fountain. The
Musgrove Fountain was constructed by Robinson Iron and is their ‘Florentine’ model. The proposed
roundabout fountain will be the ‘Caesar’ model, which will have a similar height, width, and form.
Staff believes the proposed fountain at this location would be akin to civic art and compliment the
existing Musgrove Fountain.

Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following addition has been requested by the applicant. See the application included.
1. Install 40ft x 40ft outdoor fitness area
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, Planning Director
Site Visits Conducted: March 2022
Recommendation: See evaluation/analysis
Evaluation:
The subject property/proposal is an outdoor fitness area located on the north side (creek side) of Maple
Street. It will be directly adjacent to and a feature of the creek walk pedestrian trail. The City is nearing
the beginning of construction of the pedestrian bridge across the creek near here (project discussed
and approved by HPC at March 25, 2021 meeting), that will further complete the ‘loop’ of the downtown
creek walk.
The subject property is zoned for residential and is near existing single-family residences. However,
neither the Prattville Residential Design Review Guidelines Manual nor the Prattville Commercial Design
Review Guidelines Manual have any sections on or references to proposals such as this.
The Commission should evaluate this proposal based on its appearance and location. Staff recommends
considering landscaping to provide a visual buffer between the fitness area and adjoining residential
property.
