69 Mr. Rigsby provided the staff report for the Certificate of Appropriateness to construct an accessory dwelling unit 70 to the rear of the property. Mr. Rigsby stated that the primary dwelling is about +/- 2,000 sq. ft. built-in 1921. The 71
proposed addition would be a two-story and 1,855 sq. ft. It would be attached at the rear, accessible through the 72 primary dwelling by a hallway. The applicant proposed to use like materials, windows, and doors as the primary 73 dwelling. He stated that the staff did not have a recommendation for this case due to the interpretation of the Historic 74
Preservation Guidelines examples include visibility, compatibility with scale and rhythm, distinguishability, and 75 imitation of structure. 76 77 Daniel & Hayley Sherrill Gilmore, the petitioner (petitioner’s daughter), presented the request for the Certificate of 78 Appropriateness to construct an accessory dwelling unit to the rear of the property.

She states that the roof pitch would be different 85
than the primary dwelling. She was against the accessory dwelling. 86 87 Joel McCord (225 1st Street) stated, that the new addition would expose his house to additional run-off rain and for 88
that reason, he opposed the new addition. 89 90 Ron Pinkard (315 South Washington), the petitioner’s neighbor, stated that flooding was an issue and that the new 91
addition would add more water to the neighborhood. He also stated that a previous approval given to the petitioner 92 in 2020 to add a side porch was not completed. He was opposed to the new addition. 93 94 Chairman Sanford opened a discussion for the board. The Chairman stated, that you can see the new accessory 95 dwelling from the front elevation. In their discussion the board felt like the two additions to the house would be a 96 greater sq. ft. than the sq. footage of the original dwelling. After their discussion, Mr. Barker moved to deny the 97 request as presented. Mrs. Davis seconded the motion. The motion to deny passed unanimously. 98 99 Miscellaneous: 100 Caleb from PaleoWest provided an update via MS Teams on the process of the Design Guidelines being managed 101 by PaleoWest. 102 103 Adjourn: 104 With no further business, Ms. Davis motioned to adjourn the meeting.

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

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 elevation
are appropriate locations for additions.
3. Additions should be compatible with the original building in scale, proportion, rhythm,
and materials.

design.
Item 1 Analysis:

story, 1,350 square feet addition to the rear of the existing structure. Proposed addition will
maintain the width of the existing structure, and extend approximately 52 feet into the rear yard.
Proposed addition will have a height and roof pitch that appears similar to that of the main
structure’s primary roof peak. The applicant is proposing to continue similar design elements of
the existing house, using lap siding (currently vinyl on house), similar windows, doors, trim and
roofing materials offering compatibility with the original house.
Addition has a footprint of approximately 1,400 square feet, including connector and side
porches. The existing primary structure has a footprint of approximately 2,400 including all
porches.

as Attachment A for a description of each element.
1. Enclose the existing carport
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Tommie Williams, Planner
Site Visits Conducted: July 2022
Recommendation: Approve
Evaluation:

sections of the manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of each

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

The addition/carport is not removing or damaging any wall of the primary dwelling walls, roofs,
and features. This is a non-contributing dwelling and limited historical features. 2. Additions should have no or limited visibility from the street. Generally, rear elevations are
appropriate locations for additions. This addition will be located on the side elevation and
utilize the existing roofline. The roofline of the primary dwelling will be the same roofline for the
carport.

3. Additions should be compatible with the original building in scale, proportion, rhythm, and materials. The proposed project will be compatible with the original dwelling in scale, proportion, and rhythm. The material will be a hardy plank with atrium doors.
4. Additions should be distinguishable from the historic building: they should be smaller and simpler in design. The addition, since the dwelling is non-contributing will be distinguishable
from other historic dwellings in the district. The addition will match the primary dwelling and will be smaller and simpler in design. The primary dwelling is brick, the addition will utilize
hardy plank.
5. Additions should not imitate earlier architectural styles, but should be contemporary in design. The addition will reflect the popular carport designs of today by utilizing hardy plank and
modern techniques.
Analysis:
The applicant would like to enclose their current carport and make a den area. The front of the carport (the
part facing the street) will have windows installed that will be 5’w x 6’ and match the primary dwelling, and
a sliding glass door that will be 13 x 6 (atrium door). The enclosure will consist of a wall on the west
elevation that will be 22’ long with a 6-panel door. This dwelling is non-contributing to the Historic District.
