Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following changes have been requested by the applicant. See the application
included as Attachment B for the owner’s description of each item.
1. Addition of double outside staircase up to deck.
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION
Reviewed by: Austin Brass
Site Visits Conducted: December, 2019
Recommendation: Building is non-historic and non-contributing. Commission
should review structure for general compatibility with
guidelines and consistency with construction of the original
building.
.
Evaluation:
The requested alterations were reviewed against the standards contained in the Prattville
Commercial Design Review Guidelines Manual. The relevant sections of the manual are
included. Staff comments/evaluation follow the relevant sections.
Item 1. Addition of double 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. Fire escapes should not
be visible from the street.
1. Fire escapes and staircases should be located on rear elevations or otherwise
located so that they are not visible from the street.
Page 3 of 3
2. The addition of fire escapes should not damages architectural features.
3. Fire escapes may be either open or enclosed.
4. If enclosed, fire escapes surfaces should be of wood siding, brick veneer, or stucco.
5. If open, fire escape surfaces should be of metal or wood.
Analysis:
The proposed stairway would meet the intent of guideline 1. Moreover, the current design
guidelines do not specifically address railings. Nevertheless, the HPC previously approved
a Certificate of Appropriateness for similar staircase design on November 28th, 2019. The
primary difference in this design submitted is that there is an additional staircase being
added that will terminate at an elevated landing connected to the proposed rooftop deck.
