Washington St Review Status and History Submission Status: First request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for this address. Previous Approvals: N/A Conditions of Previous Approvals: None 1984/2007 Historic Properties Inventory Details None listed for this address Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition The following changes have been requested by the applicant. See the application included as Attachment A for the owner’s description of each item. 1. Exterior signage for church campus, identification & directional signage. Page 2 of 3 PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION Reviewed by: Austin Brass Site Visits Conducted: November 27th, 2018 Recommendation: Exterior signage for church campus, identification & directional signage. Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure is surrounded by residential properties, the requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville Residential Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of the manual are included. Staff comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of the section. Item 1. Exterior signage for church campus, identification & directional signage. Signs (page 34) Signs are important means of advertising and establishing business identities, and establishments should have flexibility in determining what modern signage to use while respecting the residential character of their host neighborhoods. 1. Sign usage should be kept to a minimum. In residential areas no more than two signs should be placed on the property. 2. New signs should be of historically appropriate materials such as finished wood, glass, copper, or bronze. 3. New signs should be scaled to be in proportion to the property. 4. Simplicity in design and content is recommended. 5. Colors used in signs should be coordinated with their buildings. Three colors or less should be used per sign. 6. Lighting sources for signs should be external and concealed. 7. New signs should be installed in locations historically used for signs such as on awnings, on upper façade walls covering five percent or less of the wall surface, inside windows, or projecting from the building façade or elevation. Signs should not cover or obscure architectural features. Page 3 of 3 Analysis: The proposed replacement of directional signs are located within a residential district as part of the Historic District. Staff does not believe the proposed directional/monument signage meets the design guidelines for signs within this context. Specifically, in sign types A,B & C that are visible from the public right-of-way (see attachment map) the proposal conflicts with the requirements that it be constructed of historically appropriate material (guideline 2), simple in design (guideline 4), and lighting sources that are not external and concealed (guideline 6). Furthermore, it would be recommended that the wall mounted signs placed on the south elevation of the building be scaled down. In all, the proposed signage listed above is more appropriate for a commercial location outside the historic district. It can be modified to meet the Commission’s guidelines. The Commission should postpone proposed signage consideration until a different proposal can be submitted by the application. ATTACHMENTS None. See packet for application and photos.

More information should be requested for an analysis of guideline 3. Item 2. Addition of outside staircase up to deck at 121 W Main Street. Fire Escapes and Staircases (page 20) Fire Escapes are generally modern building components. However, when other means of upper-floor escape do not exist, they are important safety features.
