Chimneys are located in the rear of the property, and a small one on the right side. 2) Repair back porch. 3) Replace stone veneer with similar stone veneer. 4) Replace front door awning and relocate window awning to front. 5) Demo old accessory structures in backyard. Evaluation Since the subject property/structure is a residential property, 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. Demolition of existing Accessory Structures 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. Demolition may be appropriate if the denial of the demolition will result in a demonstrable economic hardship on the owner. Item 2. Alterations to roof Roofs (page 31) Roofs help to determine building style and are important elements of historic appearance. Historic roof shapes and, when feasible, materials, should be retained and maintained. Public visibility of modern features should be very limited. 1. The historic roof shape should be retained. 2. Roof-related features such as chimneys, shingles, tiles, finials, parapet walls, and cornices should be retained and maintained. 3. If localized damage or deterioration of historic roofing materials occurs, replacement with matching materials is preferred to wholesale removal. DRAFT CITY OF PRATTVILLE Historic Preservation Commission Planning Department Staff Report 3 4. If historic roofing materials are severely damaged or deteriorated or are missing and are prohibitively expensive to replace, dark grey, black, brown, dark green, or dark red asphalt or fiberglass shingles may be used. 5. New skylights, solar panels, decks, balconies, and satellite dishes should not be readily visible from the street. 6. New dormers should not be located on primary facades, should be unobtrusive, and should be in keeping with the historic appearance of the building. Item 2.

New porches should be sympathetic to the historic appearance of building to which they are attached. 1. Historic porches visible from the street should be retained and maintained. 2. Deteriorated or damaged porches should be repaired and missing elements replaced. The materials used in repairs should allow the porch to maintain its historic appearance. 3. If the historic porch is missing, it is appropriate to replace it. Replacement porches should use materials and styles that are compatible with the building to which they are attached. 4. Porches visible from the street should remain largely open and unenclosed; if enclosure is desired, lattice panels should be installed behind porch columns and railings and should cover no more than one third of the porch. 5. If screening is desired, minimal structural framework should be used in order to maintain an open appearance. Wood is the preferred material for framing; anodized or baked aluminum is also appropriate. 6. Wood plant trellises are appropriate for porches. Item 2. Alterations to awning Awning (page 17) Historically, residents commonly used awnings on their homes. As air conditioning became more common after the 1940s, awning use declined. Awnings can add historic character to late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century buildings while conserving energy. Their use is encouraged. 1. Awnings may be added to buildings. 2. Awnings should not damage the building or its architectural features. 3. Awnings may be fixed or operating. 4. Awnings should be constructed of canvas duck or cotton and polyester blends and may be treated with acrylic. DRAFT CITY OF PRATTVILLE Historic Preservation Commission Planning Department Staff Report 4 5. Awnings should be located above windows or doors or attached to porches. They should not hide architectural features. 6. Awning shape should mimic that of the opening to which it is attached. For rectangular openings, a shed form is appropriate; for arched openings, an arched form is appropriate. Bubble, concave, convex, and internally lit awnings are less appropriate than shed or arched awnings. DRAFT CITY OF PRATTVILLE Historic Preservation Commission Planning Department Staff Report 5 1.

Modify the front porch railing and install window boxes PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION: Reviewed by: Darrell Rigsby, Senior Planner Site Visits Conducted: September, 2020 Recommendation: Approval Proposed project is in keeping with the Historic Preservation Guidelines for Residential buildings. Proposed project does not detract from the existing structure. Evaluation: Since the subject property/structure was initially developed as a residence, 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. The following changes are proposed: 1. Replace Roof Roofs (page 31) Roofs help to determine building style and are important elements of historic appearance. Historic roof shapes and, when feasible, materials, should be retained and maintained. Public visibility of modern features should be very limited. 1. The historic roof shape should be retained. 2. Roof-related features such as chimneys, shingles, tiles, finials, parapet walls, and cornices should be retained and maintained. DRAFT Page 3 of 7 3. If localized damage or deterioration of historic roofing materials occurs, replacement with matching materials is preferred to wholesale removal. 4. If historic roofing materials are severely damaged or deteriorated or are missing and are prohibitively expensive to replace, dark grey, black, brown, dark green, or dark red asphalt or fiberglass shingles may be used. 5. New skylights, solar panels, decks, balconies, and satellite dishes should not be readily visible from the street. 6. New dormers should not be located on primary facades, should be unobtrusive, and should be in keeping with the historic appearance of the building. 2. Add addition to back of house to match gable construction of existing house Additions (page 40) Additions to dwellings are appropriate as long as they are placed on rear elevations 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. Existing openings should be used to connect the building and the addition. 2. Additions should have no or limited visibility from the street. Generally, rear elevation are appropriate locations for additions. 3. Additions should be compatible with the original building in scale, proportion, rhythm, and materials. 4. Additions should be distinguishable from the historic building: they should be smaller and simpler in design. 5. Additions should not imitate earlier architectural styles, but should be contemporary in design. 3. Restore windows Windows (page 36) Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or streetscape. Historic windows should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. Historic windows should be retained and maintained. They should not be covered with paint or wood or any other material that destroys their transparency. Window openings are important in defining building rhythm. If it is essential that window openings be removed or added, this should not occur on the façade or on elevations visible from the street. If vinyl or aluminum windows are used they should match the original windows as closely as possible in dimensions and depth of meeting rails and muntin bars. DRAFT Page 4 of 7 To replace this damaged pane, another piece of clear glass should be fitted into the opening. The smallest amount of historic material possible should be replaced when repairing damage. If an entire window needs replacement, it should be replaced with like materials and design. Historic shutters should be retained and maintained. Shutters should not be added to buildings unless the buildings had shutters historically, shutters fit within the window openings when closed, and are constructed of painted wood. Screen, storm, or security windows should be designed with full view central portions or with a meeting rail that is in the same location as the window’s. The screen window on the right is full view—an appropriate design. 1. Historic windows should be retained and maintained. 2. Historic windows should remain visible and their openings transparent. 3. Deteriorated or damaged windows should be repaired so that the windows retain their historic appearances. 4. The replacement of original windows with vinyl or aluminum windows is discouraged. 5. Missing windows or elements should be replaced so that they replicate the historic windows or other historic examples. Window openings should not be added or removed from locations visible from the street. 6. Historic shutters should be retained and maintained. 7. Shutters should not be added unless the building historically had them and replacements replicate historic shutters, fit the window opening, and are constructed of painted wood. 8. Screen and storm windows should be constructed of painted wood, baked-on enamel, anodized aluminum, or painted-to-match-the-frames mill-finish aluminum. 9. Screen, storm, and security windows should fit within the window frames and be fullview design or have a central meeting rail in the same location as the window. 10. Security windows and bars should not be visible from the street. 4. Alterations to existing floor plan to add two bathrooms to interior No guidance in Design Review Guidelines. 5. Demolish dilapidated ‘lean-to’ addition on rear of house 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. The buildings that con- tribute to the historic residential character of the historic district neighborhoods are irreplaceable physical evidence of Prattville’s past. 1. Demolition is appropriate if the building does not contribute to the historic character of the district. DRAFT Page 5 of 7 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. Demolition may be appropriate if the denial of the demolition will result in a demonstrable economic hardship on the owner. 6. Modify front porch Porches (Page 27) Historic porches visible from the street should be retained and maintained. Porches are one of the most defining characteristics of historic houses. Historic porches should be retained, maintained, and, if needed, repaired. New porches should be sympathetic to the historic appearance of building to which they are attached. Porches are defining elements of character on district residences. Historic porches and their component elements, including roofs and heights, should be retained and maintained. Scroll-sawn spandrels and railings and beveled posts are appropriate porch elements for Victorian styles such as Queen Anne. The simpler wood spandrels, railings, and posts are also appropriate models for Victorian house styles. Classical porch elements such as the single squared columns and paired round columns, both with Doric capitals, are appropriate models for classically influenced styles such as Colonial Revival and Greek Revival. Brick posts, often with tapered wood uppers were popular elements for Craftsman-style houses and early-twentieth-century forms such as bungalows. Square posts were also popular for those types of buildings. Simple wood railings and posts are appropriate for most district houses. The use of square wood columns and balusters is recommended when rebuilding porches and the original design is unknown. Minimal wooden framework should be used if porch screening is desired. Original porch elements should be retained and be unobscured by the screen. 1. Historic porches visible from the street should be retained and maintained. 2. Deteriorated or damaged porches should be repaired and missing elements replaced. The materials used in repairs should allow the porch to maintain its historic appearance. 3. If the historic porch is missing, it is appropriate to replace it. Replacement porches should use materials and styles that are compatible with the building to which they are attached. 4. Porches visible from the street should remain largely open and unenclosed; if enclosure is desired, lattice panels should be installed behind porch columns and railings and should cover no more than one third of the porch. 5. If screening is desired, minimal structural framework should be used in order to maintain an open appearance. Wood is the preferred material for framing; anodized or baked aluminum is also appropriate. 6. Wood plant trellises are appropriate for porches.
