1. Add fabric awning over wooden doors
Historic Design Guidelines referenced:
Canopies and Awnings (p 47)
1. Canopies and awnings shall be preserved through regular cleaning and replacement of materials and fixtures when necessary.
2. When new canopies and awnings are installed on a building, they shall not damage the historic structure or any existing architectural features. Visibility of architectural features should be maintained when installing a new canopy or awning.
3. When adding a new canopy or awning, make use of any existing fixtures. When no fixtures exist, install them in ways that are minimally invasive to the existing structure.
4. When an awning is for a window, it shall mirror the shape of the window opening to which it is attached. Canopies shall align with horizontal elements of the facade such as the cornice or roof lines.
5. Awnings shall be constructed of canvas duck, cotton, or polyester blends. Metal and wood is the most
appropriate material for canopies.
6. Canopy and awning colors shall accent that of the main structure and should not be garishly colored.
7. Canopies and awnings shall not be internally lit. Light fixtures shall be shielded so as to not cause the appearance of internal illumination.

Staff Analysis:
The wooden doors were replaced in 2019 as part of a Leadership Autauga class project. The need for an awning was discussed to protect the new door from the elements, but was not included in a Certificate of
Appropriateness request. The awning was recently installed.
This awning matches the existing awning over the adjacent, main entrance to the Family Support Center. It is constructed of fabric, not garishly colored, and is sized appropriately for the door opening it is protecting.

Historic Design Guidelines referenced:
Alterations to Non-Contributing Residential Buildings (pp 35-36)
Guidelines for alterations to non-contributing buildings are less strict than those of contributing historic
buildings.
As a general rule, alterations to non-contributing buildings should be contemporary and not create a false
sense of history.
1. Alterations to non-historic residential buildings shall not copy historic architecture styles. Contemporary
alterations are appropriate if they do not detract from the integrity of the district.
2. In general, alterations to non-historic buildings shall appear similar in scale, massing, and height to the
main structure and other nearby residential buildings.
3. Alterations to windows, door openings, and porches shall be compatible with the rhythm established
by window, door openings, and porches of nearby historic structures.
4. Alterations that detract from the overall character of the district shall be prohibited.
5. Avoid alterations that disrupt the spacing and orientation of the structure or overshadow nearby historic
structures.
Staff Analysis:
This is a ranch style house with an existing carport. Enclosing the carport with the same or similar siding
and using a complementary color on the garage door (as requested in the application) will be appropriate
and not detract from the overall character of the historic district.
