Old Business: None New Business: Certificate of Appropriateness - Reconsideration New Structure-Accessory structure 241 Doster Street Earl Irvine, Petitioner After receiving a letter from Earl Irvine of 241 Doster Street, requesting that the decision on his case be reconsidered. Mrs. Davis moved to hear the petition of Mr. Irvine. Mr. Barrett seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Earl Irvine, petitioner, made his apologies for not appearing at the December 7 meeting when the request was initially scheduled for hearing. He stated that he had placed the accessory structure on property at 241 Doster Street in hopes of getting approved. He stated that the location of the structure met the zoning requirements and felt that it would meet the guidelines of the historic district. He stated that he plans to plant trees that would hopefully obscure the view of the structure. Mr. Duke provided the staff report for a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow an accessory structure on property at 241 Doster Street. He stated that the main structure is not a contributing historic structure. He stated that the proposed 12’ x 20’ pre-fabricated accessory structure does not meet the requirements of Guideline 4 requiring that the building and roof forms be complementary and compatible with the main structure or Guideline 5 suggesting that the materials used should be compatible with the main structure. Chair Langley opened discussion for the board. It was the board’s discussion that the building did not meet the requirements of Guidelines 4 and 5. The structure has to be currently hidden from view as it sits. After no further discussion, the vote was called. Mr. Smith moved to uphold the standing of the previous vote to deny the request. Ms. Musgrove seconded the motion. Approved 2/22/18 Prattville Historic Preservation Commission January 25, 2018 Minutes Page 2 of 2 Chair Langley called for a roll call vote.

The wood frame structure is listed by the Autauga County Revenue Commissioner’s Office as being built in 1946 and remodeled in 2008. 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. Construct a new 12’ x 20’ (240 square foot) accessory structure setback 5’ from the north and west property lines (rear/west corner of the lot). Proposed structure is pre-fabricated and constructed of metal siding. One 12’ face houses a metal roll-up door and one 20’ face includes a door and two windows. Page 2 of 3 PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP Site Visits Conducted: November 30, 2017 Recommendation: Items 1: Approval with modifications to structure or site to further screen the accessory building from Doster Street. Evaluation: 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 each section. Item 1. Construct a new 12’ x 20’ (240 square foot) accessory structure setback 5’ from the north and west property lines (rear/west corner of the lot). Proposed structure is pre-fabricated and constructed of metal siding. One 12’ face houses a metal roll-up door and one 20’ face includes a door and two windows. Outbuildings (page 50) Outbuildings contribute to the historic and residential character of the district. Historic outbuildings should be retained and maintained. New outbuildings should use design, materials, and placement that support the district’s historic character. 2. New outbuildings should be smaller than the adjoining main building. 3. New outbuildings should be simple in appearance. 4. New outbuildings should use building and roof forms compatible to those used in the adjoining main building. 5. New outbuildings should use materials compatible to those used in the adjoining main buildings. Outbuildings that are not visible from public vantage points or have very limited visibility may use modern synthetic siding materials. Analysis: a. The proposed new/replacement garage meets Guidelines 2, and 3 for Outbuildings. b. It does not meet Guideline 4 requiring that the building and roof forms be complementary and compatible with the main structure. Page 3 of 3 c. The structure does not meet Guideline 5 suggesting that the materials used should be compatible with the main structure. d. Guideline 5 provides some relief from the standard if visibility of the structure is somewhat limited from the street frontage. Given the non- contributing status of the main structure, simple screening with fencing or landscaping may permit use of the proposed structure. Analysis: The applicant’s proposed structure was added to the site prior to obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness or building permit. The present location on the site is visible from the street. While the applicant cannot easily alter the structure to meet Guidelines 4 and 5, it can be moved or otherwise screened from view. ATTACHMENTS A. Application and attachments B.
