Demolition (page 55) Demolition of buildings that contribute to the historic character of the district results in an irreversible loss to the physical fabric of the community. Demolition of such buildings is an outcome to be avoided. 1. Demolition is appropriate if the building does not contribute to the historic character of the district. 2. Applicants for demolition and the Historic Preservation Commission should explore possibilities for selling or reusing historic buildings, preferably onsite but also in other locations, as alternatives to demolition. 3. Demolitions may be appropriate if the denial of the demolition will result in a demonstrable economic hardship to the owner. Item 1, Recommendation: Approval The board should note that the applicant had demolished the section of structure described above before applying for and/or receiving a demolition permit in lieu of HPC approval per city of Prattville requirements, however meets guideline 1, as the structure does not contribute to the districts historic character, guideline 2, as the section of structure is not historic. Item 2, Reconstruct the 288 sq. ft. and add approximately 96 sq. ft. to kitchen. Additions (page 40) Additions to dwellings are appropriate as long as they are placed on rear elevation 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.

Replacements for primary residential doors may appropriately be of painted paneled wood with or without a clear-glass single or multiple-light opening. 5.
