EVALUATION/COMMENTS:
Street Connectivity: The site has frontage on Hwy 82 (restricted access), and to Constitution Ave and Coffee
Exchange
Water/Sewer: Public water and sewer is in the area
Zoning District Lot Standards: see comment section for PUD standards
Staff Analysis/Comments: The subject site is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development), with approximately seven acres zoned B-2 (General Business) on the northeast corner.
The southern portion of the subject site was zoned PUD in 2004 and specified that permitted uses “shall be limited to residential land uses” and “may be single-family units and multi-family units including apartments.” The northern portion of the site was zoned PUD in 2006 and specified that permitted uses “shall…be multi-family
residential at no greater than 13 units per acre.”
When the new Zoning Ordinance was adopted in March 2022, it stated that for previously approved PUDs, the “approved Master Plan may continue in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance in effect at the time of such prior approval. Should the Master Plan approval expire or be voided, any newly submitted Master Plan must conform
to the regulations in effect at the time of the new submittal” (§ 6.04.01 (3) (c)).
See letter to Forge Residential Partners, LLC, dated February 27, 2024 (attached), for more in-depth details on the existing zoning and regulations.
The Commission heard a request for a preliminary plan and rezoning at this same site by the same applicant at its November 2023 meeting. That request included the same proposed housing types (duplexes, townhomes, garages, and amenities on a single parcel), with 234 proposed dwelling units. The Commission voted to approve the
Page 3 of 7
preliminary plan and also voted to recommend the rezoning of the site (existing PUD and B-2) to PUD. The City Council voted to not approve the rezoning at their February 6, 2024 meeting.
The applicant submitted a new Sketch Plan to the Planning Commission at its May 16, 2024, meeting. The Commission held discussions and voted to approve the Sketch Plan (see attached staff report and minutes excerpt from that meeting).
The current proposed plan has 192 dwelling units in the existing PUD-zoned area. The proposal also includes a new public street bisecting the site from Constitution Ave to Coffee Exchange (would be an extension of Coffee Exchange). The B-2-zoned area includes community amenities such as a clubhouse and park/open space, ground floor includes for-rent garages with upper floor dwellings (upper floor dwellings are a permitted use in B-2 zoning), with remaining B-2 area unspecified but reserved for commercial use.
This proposal includes a north-south street connection between Coffee Exchange and Constitution Ave with the intent to dedicate as a public street. When considering PUD rezoning requests, the (current) Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to
consider the following (§ 6.04.02 (1) (d)): 1) The proposal conforms to the comprehensive plan. 2) The proposal meets the intent, objectives and general requirements of the Planned Unit Development
District.
3) The proposal is conceptually sound in that it meets a community need and conforms to accepted design principles in the proposed street system, land use configuration, open space system, and drainage and utility systems. 4) There are adequate services and utilities available in the construction of the development.
Further, when reviewing a PUD Master Plan, the (current) Zoning Ordinance states (§ 6.04.02 (2) (d)): 1) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, including appropriateness of land uses and densities in the particular location and incorporation of recommended development patterns and design characteristics
2) Conformance with the use, density and development standards in this Section
3) Suitability of the particular site for development as proposed, without hazards to persons or property, on or off the tract, from probability of flooding, erosion, slipping of the soil, or other dangers or nuisances. The uses, intensity and layout of the proposed development must be suitable to soil, ground water level, drainage, and topographic conditions.
4) Preservation and/or conservation of historic, scenic and natural features
5) Establishment and method of enforcement of development standards not specified in this Section, including but not limited to lot size, setbacks and building separation 6) Specification of development standards proposed to substitute for any other normally applicable zoning regulations, including but not limited to parking, signage and landscaping
7) Adequacy and arrangement of vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation, including the
design of the street network, intersections and streets; access management and traffic controls; and provision of sidewalks, paths and other bicycle and pedestrian facilities 8) Phasing of the development as necessary to assure that public or private facilities will be available at the time the development reaches the stage where such facilities will be needed.
9) Location, arrangement and sufficiency of parking 10) Location, arrangement, size and design of buildings and lighting 11) Relationship of the proposed uses and densities to one another and to adjoining development 12) Adequacy, type and arrangement of buffers, screening and other normally required landscaping
Page 4 of 7
13) The adequacy and arrangement of usable open space 14) Adequacy of storm water and sanitary waste disposal facilities 15) Design and adequacy of structures, roadways, and landscaping in areas susceptible to flooding,
ponding and/or erosion 16) Compliance with all other regulations and the intent of this Ordinance. The former Zoning Ordinance provided the following for review criteria (§ 113 (5) (C)):
The City Planning Commission's review of the preliminary site plan shall consider the following factors. (1) Adequacy and arrangement of vehicular traffic access and circulation, including intersections, road widths, channelization, traffic controls, and pedestrian movement. (2) Location, arrangement, appearance, and sufficiency of off-street parking. (3) Location, arrangement, size and design of buildings, and lighting.
(4) Relationship of the various uses to one another. (5) Adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs, and other landscaping constituting a visual and/or a noise deterring buffer between adjacent used [uses] and adjoining lands. (6) In the case of multiple dwellings, the adequacy of usable open space for playgrounds and recreation. (7) Adequacy of storm water and sanitary waste disposal facilities.
(8) Adequacy of structures, roadways, and landscaping in areas with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding, ponding and/or erosion. (9) Compliance with all other regulations and the intent of this ordinance.
The following items were mentioned as needing clarification during the Sketch Plan meeting (May 16, 2024):
Setbacks along Constitution Ave: The house lots along Constitution Ave in the single-family residential portion of HomePlace have setbacks of 30ft
from the right-of-way.
Source: HomePlace Phase 1C Plat (recorded Autauga County Probate, Book 2006, Page 14)
Page 5 of 7
There is an approximately 35ft strip of land between the Constitution Ave right-of-way and the subject property.
Source: HomePlace Phase 1A Plat (recorded Autauga County Probate, Book 2006, Page 78271)
The proposed plan indicates a 15ft setback from their property line and the dwelling units.
Source: applicant’s submission
Page 6 of 7
Proposed Public Street with Parallel Parking:
This application includes a public street with parallel parking, which would be an extension of Coffee Exchange from the north to Constitution Avenue on the south. Discussion during the May 16, 2024, meeting included the need for access to the B-2 (General Commercial) zoned area. If a public street were not allowed here, access to the B-2 (and other) areas could be ensured through an access easement. Maintenance of the private street
The question was raised during the May 16th hearing on if the street/drive was private, would the developer be willing to install a gate. The developer stated that they nor the current property owner desired a gate.
Landscaping:
The submitted plan includes landscaping along the southern boundary including a four foot tall ornamental fence. Note that any additional, future development in the B-2 zoned area must comply with current Zoning Ordinance
requirements for landscaping (and use and other requirements). Sewer: Proposed sanitary sewer main line within the proposed public right-of-way to become a city-maintained line. The
sewer mains located on the proposed lots will be private and maintained by the property owner. The sewer laterals (lines from structures to the mains) are proposed to be one lateral per structure (not per dwelling unit) and will be the responsibility of the property owner.
Excerpt from the May 16, 2024, Planning Commission meeting minutes:
Sketch Plan: The Cottages at Prattville Location: Highway 82 E & Constitution Ave. Owner: DHS-1 Holding, Inc., DHS-2 Holding, Inc., DHS-3 Holding, Inc., and Gresham Place Representative: Barrett-Simpson, Inc.
Mr. Stephens introduced the sketch plan of the Cottages at Prattville. He stated that a sketch plan is a non-binding, optional precursor to a plan, which the developers are submitting for feedback from staff and the Commission. Going forward and prior to a preliminary plan or plat is voted upon, a public hearing will be held. He went through
a brief history of the existing PUD at this location and its regulations and development. John Baumhauer and Mike Baker of Forge Residential, Eric Wadsworth of Wadsworth Architecture, and Blake Rice
of Barrett-Simpson, presented the sketch plan of the Cottages at Prattville. Mr. Baumhauer noted that this proposal has fewer units than submitted previously and also that the street indicated on the plan between Coffee Exchange and Constitution Ave is proposed to be public.
Mayor Gillespie provided comments via telephone (not for purposes of quorum or for voting). He expressed
concerns about the proposal to make the street public and stated that he felt the setback along Constitution should
be 30 feet, in similar fashion to the single-family residential portion inside HomePlace. He further stated if the street were to be made public, there should not be parallel parking along it. The commercial zoned area could be accessed via access easement.
Mayor Gillespie asked about the previous discussions and agreements on the on-site well, landscaping, irrigation. Mr. Baumhauer stated that those agreements would be honored. He reiterated his belief that the proposed street
should not be public.
Page 7 of 7
Councilman Chambers asked about, if the street was private, would the developers consider making it gated. Mr. Baker said they did not prefer that nor did the property owner. Councilman Chambers expressed concerns about
the public road, landscaping, setbacks, and sewer. Mr. Daniel stated he felt the concept met the intent of the ordinance but did want more details on the landscaping.
Mr. Mullins said he was in favor of the street being public. Mr. Gardner stated he felt the public road would be positive.
Mr. Hayden introduced a resolution approving the sketch plan of the Cottages at Prattville moved for its approval.
Mr. Mullins seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed unanimously. Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, City Planner

The Cottages at Prattville
M A S T E R P L A N N A R R AT IV E
1
General Description of the Project
Barrett-Simpson, Inc., the Applicant, on behalf of the Developer, Forge Residential Partners, respectfully
requests that the Prattville Planning Commission consider the Master Plan and allow the rezoning of The
Cottages at Prattville Subdivision to PUD (Planned Unit Development). The subject property is currently
zoned PUD and B-2. The owner is proposing to create a cottage and townhome-style residential
community, governed by a single PUD zoning designation. The proposed rezoning will allow for a mix of
medium-density residential uses along with community amenities and open spaces.
2
Adherence to Comprehensive Plan
In accordance with the Prattville 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the proposed development offers townhome
and cottage rental homes, meeting the needs of new and existing residents of all ages and lifestyles,
seeking safe, walkable, slow-traffic interior streets, easily accessible amenities, and generous open
spaces. The Cottages at Prattville offers an alternative to typical detached single-family home
developments, with high-quality construction and professional management. The proposed homes and
common areas will be professionally maintained and secured for the safety of residents. The proposed
site represents a desired transition between lower density residential development to the west of the site
and higher density to the north. The development precisely matches the need for “in-between” housing
products referenced in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
3
Meeting Community Objectives
The Cottages at Prattville offers a currently unmet choice in housing type, with high-quality constructed
cottage homes and townhomes. Rather than fee-simple single-family homes on individual lots maintained
by individual homeowners, the proposed development is designed to provide an active and safe
community for residents that will be developer-maintained and managed. With the avg. national cost of
ownership now 30% higher than the avg. national cost to rent, this community will offer residents home-
like living without the financial burden of home ownership.
Existing trees, slopes and geological features will be preserved where possible. Erosion control and
stormwater management will be top priorities during construction and post-development. Extensive
landscaping will be installed to enhance the natural beauty of the community.

The project will construct privately maintained interior streets and stormwater management for efficient
and purposeful land use.
The proposed development plan is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan and could not adequately be
achieved without the PUD zoning designation.
4
Description of Community Facilities
The community will be comprised of Class A facilities and finishes, and will feature attractive amenities
including a community clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool and sunning deck,
business center, dog park, dedicated open/green spaces and private, fenced-in back yards.
5
Alternative Standards Proposed
There is a significant buffer along Constitution Avenue and, as such, we are requesting an alternative
rear setback of 3’ for those residential units. The northern and western boundary setbacks are 25’, while
the eastern property line will have a 15’ rear setback. Both the 15’ setback and 25’ setbacks are within
the standards of the PUD zoning district. No other alternative standards will be needed or requested.
6
Ownership and Maintenance
All cottages, townhomes, amenity buildings, facilities, interior streets and common areas will be owned
and maintained by the developer. Residents will only be responsible for the upkeep and care of their
individual unit interiors and private fenced-in yards.
Accompanying Exhibits
Attached are several exhibits supporting the application for rezoning to PUD. The supporting exhibits
include the following:
• Master Plan of the Proposed Development
• Proposed Unit Type Mix and Count
• Designation of Agent
• Deed to Subject Property
• Application for PUD Zoning
• Adjoining Property Owners Listing
Date: July 12, 2024 To: John Baumhauer Forge Residential Partners From: Aubrey Long, PE Skipper Consulting, Inc. Re: The Cottages of Prattville Traffic Study Update Mr. Baumhauer,
The purpose of this letter is to provide comments on the updated site plan for your planned development in Prattville, Alabama. Based on our previous discussions, the following changes were made to the proposed development site plan:
- The total number of planned single family attached units decreased from 234 to 192. - The extension roadway from Legends Drive would connect to Constitution Avenue,
operate as a full directional unrestricted public roadway and provide access to the development driveways
Based on the described changes above, the following statements can be made regarding this development:
- The proposed development would generate less traffic due to the decrease in single family attached units. - The unrestricted public roadway connection would provide better traffic flow for vehicles entering/exiting the development. - This would also improve traffic operations at the Legends Drive/US-82 intersection by providing additional access for exiting traffic. Also, the public roadway connection would provide access to a signalized intersection for existing traffic on Constitution Avenue. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

BILL GILLESPIE, JR.
MAYOR
J. SCOTT STEPHENS, AICP DIRECTOR
TO: Prattville Planning Commission
FROM: J. Scott Stephens, Planning Director
DATE: August 15, 2024
RE: Time Extension Requests for Highland Farms
Items #3 and #4 of today’s agenda are requests for time extensions for the Highland Farms
Preliminary Plats 1 and 2, respectively.
The Prattville Subdivision Regulations state:
The approval of a Preliminary Plat shall be effective for a period of 18 months from the date
that the plat was approved by the Planning Commission, at the end of which time the
applicant must have submitted a Final Plat for approval. If the subdivision is under active
construction, the Planning Director may authorize a one-time extension of no more than 180
days, otherwise, the applicant may request an extension of no more than 180 days at a time
from the Planning Commission. The request must appear before the Planning Commission
prior to the end of the approval period. If the approval time is lapsed, then preliminary
approval shall be null and void, and the applicant must submit a new Preliminary Plat subject
to current ordinances and regulations. It is the responsibility of the subdivider to request any
needed extensions (§ 3.4 (7)).
Highland Farms Preliminary Plats 1 and 2 were approved at the March 2, 2023, Planning
Commission meeting, and the 18-month approval period ran through August 2, 2024.
At the July 18, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission approved a 30-day time
extension on these two plats, which will end on September 1, 2024.
Currently, Plats 1 and 2 are under construction, and the developer is requesting another time
extension. The Planning Commission may authorize a time extension of no more than 180 days. If
Memo to Planning Commission, Highland Farms Page 2 August 15, 2024
the preliminary plats are allowed to expire, the developer will need to begin the preliminary plat
process again, submitting new applications, fees, and plats that are compliant with the current
subdivision regulations.
If the Planning Commission chooses to extend the approval by the full 180 days (from the
September 1, 2024, end date), the new approval end date would be February 28, 2025. The
developer must then have submitted a final plat for approval or receive another time extension
before the new date, or the preliminary plat approval(s) would lapse.
The following table may help for consideration of possible extension time periods:
As a reminder, final plats must be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat in
order to be approved (Subdivision Regulations § 3.7 (5) (a)).

ATTN: Mr. Scott Stephens
City of Prattville, AL
RE: Extension of Preliminary Plats - Highland Farms Phases 1&2
Hello Mr. Stephens,
I am writing you to respectfully request a 180-day extension of Highland Farms Phases 1 & 2 Preliminary
Plats which were originally approved on 3/2/23 and previously granted a 30 day extension, which is set to
expire on 9/1/24.
Kindly confirm receipt of this correspondence.
Sincerely,
Chloe Kelly D: #251.487.8398
Planning Commission
Staff Report
SUBDIVISION NAME: Dawson’s Mill Phase #4
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2024
BACKGROUND:
Applicant/Representative: Gregory M. Gillian
Owner: Goodwyn Holding, LLC
Property Location: Dawson’s Mill Lane and Dawson’s Mill Blvd.
Property Identification: Autauga County: 10 08 33 0 000 010.000
Property Size: 12.26 +/- acres
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Designation: Medium/Low Density Single Family Residential
Current Zoning District: R-5
Current Land Use: Undeveloped/Single Family Residential
DEVELOPMENT STATUS & HISTORY:
Previous Requests:
May not be exhaustive
July 18, 2019 – Planning Commission recommended zoning of R-5 for this area (rezoning approved by Council on September 3, 2019)
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
Direction Land Use Zoning
North Residential Unincorporated
South Residential R-2 (Single-Family Residential District)
/Autauga County
East Residential R-2 (Single-Family
Residential District) / Prattville High School
West Residential P.U.D. (Planned Unit

/ Autauga County
EVALUATION/COMMENTS:
Street Connectivity: The proposed lot will have street frontage to Dawson’s Mill Lane and Dawson’s Mill Blvd.
Water/Sewer: Public water and sewer is available.
Zoning District Lot Standards:
WAIVERS REQUESTED:
The following waivers are requested:
1. To use drive over curb in lieu of 24” Curb and Gutter (Subdivision Regulations § 4.3)
Subdivision Regulations § 1.8: Where the Planning Commission finds that hardships or practical difficulties may
result from strict compliance with these regulations and/or the purposes of these regulations may be served to a greater extent by an alternative proposal, it may waive or vary these subdivision regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such waiver shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations. Further provided, the Planning Commission shall not approve waivers unless it is determined that:
a. The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other property;
b. The relief sought will not vary the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff Comments:
The proposed preliminary plat is Phase #4 of Dawson’s Mill development, with 38 proposed residential lots. Note that lot #38 will have frontage and direct access to Moses Rd. The previous phases have utilized the drive-over curb
(valley gutter).
Note that the last approved sketch plan for Dawson’s Mill proposed 67 residential lots for Phase 4, along with a different street layout. The proposed Phase 4 plat has 38 total residential lots (a reduction of 29 lots) with a simpler street layout that preserves the connectivity between the two existing stub outs.
Reviewed by: Joshua McKinney, Planner
Recommendation: Approve with waivers and staff comments
Existing gutters in the subdivision (8/9/2024):

the City’s property (Mac Gray Park). No changes to the use of the land or other plans are anticipated at this time.
This same plat was approved by the Planning Commission at their September 15, 2022, meeting. However, the
preliminary plat approval expired before any further action (i.e. final plat) was taken.
