Recommendation: Approve
Analysis
The applicant is proposing to construct and install shutters and window boxes on the
north, west, and south sides of the dwelling. This would increase the value of the
dwelling and give a more aesthetically pleasing view.
Evaluation

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. New Structure-Adding new window boxes and shutters (replacing old
shutters)

3. Deteriorated or damaged windows should be repaired so that the windows retain

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.

enamel, anodized aluminum, or painted-to-match-the-frames mill-finish aluminum.

Item 2. New Fence
Fence (page 46)
Fences and walls have historically been used to define ownership or function and
to separate public and private space. Historic fences and walls should be
retained and maintained. New fences and walls should use design, materials,
and placement that minimize their effect on the district’s historic character.
1. Historic fences and walls should be retained and maintained.
2. Wood and metal picket fences are appropriate new construction. If
wooden, they should be painted using colors complementary to the
adjacent house. They should be less than three feet tall, and the pickets
should be set less than three inches apart and be less than four inches in
width.
3. Cast iron fences are appropriate for 19th and early 20th century dwellings.
These fences should be less than three feet tall.
4. Wood board fences may be located in back yards and should be less than
six feet tall. Flat tops, dog-ear tops, or pointed tops are all appropriate
designs. Fences should be painted to blend with the building.
5. Free-standing brick or concrete walls may be located in back yards or, if
not visible from the street, side yards.
6. Chain-link fences may be located in back yards or, if not visible from the
street, side yards. Chain-link fences should be painted dark green or
black, coated with green or black plastic, or screened with plants.
7. Split or horizontal rail, railroad tie, or timber fences may be located in rear
yards but should be avoided on the fronts of houses.
