He stated that the Carters requested the meeting for 42 the purpose of gaining a visual perspective of the proposed structure from the Carter’s property. The Commissioners 43 and Carters were advised to meet the Carters individually and no business would be transacted as to not violate the 44 Open Meetings Act. Chairman Sanford stated that at his meeting with the Carters on July 27, 2022 no business was 45 conducted, no preference was given to any party, and the purpose was solely to gain a visual perspective and gather 46 information. He advised Mr. Carter to present all comments at the public meeting. Chairman Sanford provided the 47 email correspondence he received from the Carters (attached and made a part of the minutes). 48 49 Mr. Rigsby provided the staff report for the Certificate of Appropriateness to construct an accessory dwelling unit 50
to the rear of the property. Mr. Rigsby stated that the applicant is proposing to add a single story, 1,350 square feet 51 addition to the rear of the existing structure. The proposed addition will maintain the width of the existing structure, 52 and extend approximately 52 feet into the rear yard. He stated that the proposed addition will have a height and roof 53
pitch that appears similar to that of the main structure’s primary roof peak. The applicant is proposing to continue 54 similar design elements of the existing house, using lap siding (currently vinyl on house), similar windows, doors, 55

trim and roofing materials offering compatibility with the original house. He stated that the staff recommends 56 approval based on interpretation of the guidelines however, the Commission must determine if it’s consistent in the 57 district based on visibility, compatibility with scale and rhythm, distinguishability, and imitation of structure. 58 59 Lisa Sherrill & Hayley Gilmore, the petitioner and petitioner’s daughter, presented the request for the Certificate of 60 Appropriateness to construct an accessory dwelling unit to the rear of the property. Mrs. Sherrill stated that the 61 addition is the same layout as the previous submission with the exclusion of the upper story. She stated that they 62 have received approval from the Board of Zoning Adjustment to allow the structure. 63 64 Chairman Sanford opened the floor for public comments. 65 66 Joel McCord, 225 1st Street, stated that the plans and the porch structure that was previously added are not reflected 67 in the drawings and wanted to know what are the plans for the current porch. He also asked about the requirements 68
for the existing accessory structures if they are moved. Chairman Sanford addressed the issue on the porch stating 69 that the city staff will make sure that the porch complies as it was previously approved and recommends that no 70 further permits are issued until resolved. He also stated that existing structures prior to guidelines are grandfathered, 71
but moving and replacing would have to reviewed. 72 73 Ron Pinckard (311 South Washington), the petitioner’s neighbor, stated that previous approval given to the petitioner 74
have not complied with the regulations. He stated that this request should be tabled until outstanding work is brought 75 into compliance. Mr. Pinckard submitted a letter of opposition to the request (attached and made a part of the 76 minutes). 77 78 Betsy Carter (327 South Washington Street), stated the proposed structure is inconsistent with the guidelines. A 79 letter of opposition was submitted and is attached and made a part of the minutes. 80 81 After no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Chairman Sanford opened a discussion for the board. 82 83 Mrs. Davis stated that she also met with the Carters for an informational meeting as well. Her concern was the size 84 of the lot, the number of buildings, and the aesthetic of the lot. 85
86 The commission overall was concerned about the size of the building on the lot, the size of the addition in comparison 87 to the original structure, the high degree of visibility from the Main Street right of way, the addition not being 88
distinguishable from the existing house from the east side, and the proposed porch not being consistent with previous 89 approvals or current guidelines. 90 91
Mrs. Sherrill stated that one (accessory) structure will be removed and the previously approved, but unfinished, 92 porch will be concrete slab with columns and would look similar to the existing front porch. 93 94 Chairman Sanford reopened the public hearing for additional comments. Mr. Joel McCord spoke to clarify that the 95 existing carport is grandfathered in and the two other outbuildings do not have a Certificate of Appropriateness. 96 After no further comments, the public hearing was closed. 97 98 After no further comments or discussion, the vote was called. Mrs. Davis moved to deny the request as presented. 99 Mr. Barker seconded the motion. The motion to deny passed by 4/1 vote as recorded. Favor: Mrs. Davis, Mr. 100 Barker, Ms. Stewart, and Chairman Sanford. Opposed. Ms. Rollins. 101 102 Certificate of Appropriateness 103 Carport Enclosure 104 144 W 5th Street 105

111 Harold Hunt, petitioner, presented the request for the proposed carport enclosure. He states that the proposed 112 windows will be similar to the existing windows on the main structure. 113 114 Chairman Sanford opened the floor for public comments. Joel McCord, 225 1st Street, spoke in favor of the request 115 and suggested that the enclosure should mimic the right side of the house as to make the front of the house 116 symmetrical. 117 118 Ronald Moates, 132 W 5th Street, spoke in favor of the request. After no further comments, the public hearing was 119 closed. 120 121 Chairman Sanford opened discussion for the Board. In their discussion, the Commission recommended to delete the 122 windows and move the glass door to the center of the carport so that it is symmetrical with the right side of the 123
dwelling. Mr. Barker moved to approve the request as recommended. Ms. Rollins seconded the motion. The motion 124 to approve passed unanimously. 125 126 Miscellaneous: 127 Mr. Stephens provided an update on the draft guideline’s status. He stated that the public hearing was a success. He 128 stated that another work session will be scheduled the closer to finalizing the guidelines along with a training session. 129
130 Chairman Sanford also recommended that a resource page be provided to the HPC’s website that will provide 131 additional information for the Commission and citizens of the district. 132 133 Adjourn: 134 With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:47 p.m. 135 136 Respectfully submitted, 137 138

Addition (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 elevations 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.
Analysis:
The applicant would like to construct a carport to the existing garage. The proposed carport will be
approximately 20 x 24 and be constructed with the same or similar material as the garage. The proposed
carport will be vertically aligned with the garage (one in front of the other, the carport will be in front of the
garage not to the side) and have the same roofline as the garage. The carport will not be able to be seen
from the front elevation or from Main Street.

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 three windows located in second floor gables
Windows (page 34)
Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or
streetscape. Sometimes, particularly in industrial buildings, they are the dominant visual element
of a building exterior. Historic windows should be retained, visible, maintained, and, if needed,
repaired.
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 appearance.
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 full-view
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.
Item 1 Recommendation: Approval
The applicant is proposing to replace three (3) wooden windows with metal slides (circa 1980s) currently in gables of second floor, with new windows due to extensive rot and deterioration. The applicant has determined that these windows are deteriorated beyond repair and
rebuilding. Windows will be replaced with new windows that are similar in style as the lower,
original windows. New windows are vinyl material with exterior mounted muntins (see pictures below).
The proposed window replacement is consistent with other homes in the area and consistent with the Historic Guidelines.

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. Install fence in rear and side yard
Fences and Walls (Residential Guidelines, 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.
Item 1 Recommendation: Approval
Applicant is proposing to construct a fence on both sides of the residence, near the middle of
the building with 6’ wooden privacy fencing. Proposed fencing will connect to neighbor fences
on each side. This fence was constructed prior to applicant requesting a City permit and HPC
review. Proposed fencing is consistent with other homes in the area and consistent with the
Historic Guidelines.
Additionally, the applicant is proposing to continue the privacy fence around the rear yard,
creating a fully enclosed rear yard, at a later date. Staff recommends considering this additional
fencing at this time, so that, if approved, applicant does not have to come back to HPC for the
remainder of the fence and can construct fence when they are ready.

2. Construct brick paver walkway in front yard
Driveways, Sidewalks, and Walkways (Residential Guidelines, p44)
Driveways, sidewalks, and walkways are common district features. Historic examples should be
retained and maintained, and new construction should follow historic examples.
4. Sidewalks are typically concrete and located between a narrow strip of grass bordering the
street and the yard. New sidewalks should follow these historic models.
5. Many district residences have narrow concrete walkways connecting the sidewalk or street to
the main entrance. New walkways should follow these historic models.
Item 2 Recommendation: Approval
Applicant is proposing to construct a walkway from the front porch to the existing driveway.
Width of walkway is proposed to be approximately 30 inches wide and material is reclaimed
brick pavers, currently on site (see pictures in report). Proposed walkway is consistent with
other homes in the area and consistent with the Historic Guidelines.
3. Replace mailbox and lamppost
Residential Design Review Guidelines do not include any information concerning light fixtures, lamp
posts, mailboxes or other accessory items. The Commercial Design Review Guidelines do have a section for light fixtures that generally says to retain and maintain existing historic light fixtures; replace missing and severely damaged historic light fixtures with replacements that replicate the originals or other historic examples in appearance and materials; new light fixtures should be
unobtrusive in design, materials, and placement; and Light fixtures should not damage or obscure
architectural features or other building elements. (Commercial Design Review Guidelines pg. 22).
Item 3 Recommendation: See Details Below
Applicant is proposing to install a new lamp post fixture in the same location as an existing lamp
post in the front yard, bordering the driveway and proposed walkway (item 2 above). The
applicant is proposing new lamp post that resembles historic lamp posts.

The Commission must decide if the proposed lamp post and mailbox design and location is
consistent with other homes in the area and consistent with the Historic Guidelines.

4. Add wooden columns to front façade
Architectural Features (page 15)
Historic architectural features commonly found in Prattville include brick, wood, or terracotta
columns and capitals; wood pediments and trim; and window surrounds. These features are
important stylistic elements and should be retained, visible, maintained, and, if needed, repaired.
1. Historic architectural features should be retained and maintained.
2. Historic architectural features should remain visible.
3. Cleaning should only occur in response to serious staining. In general, water, detergent, and
brushes are appropriate cleaning tools.
4. Deteriorated or damaged historic architectural features should be repaired using
methods that allow them to retain their historic appearance and as much of their historic
fabric as possible.
5. For decaying wood, using epoxy to strengthen damaged areas and fill in small openings is
appropriate. For large areas of decay, cutting out damaged areas and piecing new wood into
the gap is appropriate.
6. For lightly rusted metal features, hand scraping or chipping or use of a wire brush are
appropriate ways to remove rust and damaged paint. If rusting is heavy, alternative methods
include low pressure grit or sand blasting, flame cleaning, and chemical treatment. These latter
methods are more hazardous and should be undertaken with professional help. For their
protection, adjacent materials such as brick, glass, and wood should always be covered during
grit blasting. Metal pieces should be painted immediately following rust and paint removal.
Epoxies may be used to fill small gaps.
7. Owners are encouraged to replace missing or severely damaged historic architectural features
with replacements that replicate the original features or other similar examples.
8. Architectural features should not be added to buildings where none historically existed.
Porches (page 27)
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 the 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.

Page 6 of 11
Item 4 Recommendation: See Details Below
Applicant is proposing to enhance the existing metal post columns with wood. Existing columns
are flat, metal construction and proposed columns are square, wooden construction, in the same
location as existing columns.
Proposed columns appear to be consistent with the column styles and materials of other homes
in the area.
The Commission must decide if the existing columns are historic/original architectural features
of the home that should be retained and refurbished, or if altering the style of column is
appropriate
5. Install louvered shutters on front and side facades
Windows (page 34)
Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or
streetscape. Sometimes, particularly in industrial buildings, they are the dominant visual element
of a building exterior. Historic windows should be retained, visible, maintained, and, if needed,
repaired.
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.
Item 5 Withdrawn by Applicant
Item 5 Recommendation: Disapprove – Unless building historically had them
Applicant is proposing to install new, louvered, window shutters on all windows on the front and
side facades. There are 4 windows on the front façade, 4 windows on the south side façade,
and 4 windows on the north side façade (12 windows total).
Residential Design Guidelines state “Shutters should not be added unless the building
historically had them”. Based on a site visit, it does not appear this home originally had shutters.
Staff recommends disapproval of adding shutters based on the Design Guidelines.
However, if the applicant can show evidence that the home historically had shutters, or the
Commission determines the home or homes similar in era and design had shutters like the ones
proposed, staff recommend approval conditioned that they meet the standard #7 for shutters in
the Design Guidelines

6. Construct raised brick patio in rear yard
Porches (page 27)
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 the 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 6 Recommendation: Approval
Applicant is proposing to construct a ~20ft x 16ft raised rear patio using brick pavers to the rear
façade of the home. Proposed patio will not be visible from the street or any public rights of way.
Design Guidelines do not provide much information concerning patios on rear facades. Due to
the limited visibility on the rear façade, staff recommend approval.
7. Repair two windows
Windows (page 34)
Windows are prominent building components. They help to establish the rhythm of a building or
streetscape. Sometimes, particularly in industrial buildings, they are the dominant visual element
of a building exterior. Historic windows should be retained, visible, maintained, and, if needed,
repaired.
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 appearance.
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

Item 7 Recommendation: Approval
Applicant is proposing to repair two existing windows on north elevation (right side), located
toward the rear of the building. Windows proposed to be repaired are located behind the existing
privacy fence (item 1). Applicant plans to replace the damaged window panes, repair window
trim and generally rehab the window frames. The original window frames will be retained.
Proposed window repair is consistent with other homes in the area and consistent with the
Historic Guidelines.

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 each section. The following changes are proposed:
1. Remove the existing gravel/grass driveway and replace it with paver ribbon driveway
Driveways, Sidewalks, & Walkways (page 44)
Driveways, sidewalks, and walkways are common district features. Historic examples should be retained and maintained, and new construction should follow historic examples. 1. Historic driveways, sidewalks, and walkways should be retained and maintained.
2. Driveways should be of gravel, concrete ribbons, grass, and dirt, or concrete. Blacktop and asphalt driveways were not historically features of the district and should be avoided. Driveways should be located to the side of the house.
DR
A
F
T
Page 3 of 6
3. Residential parking areas larger than one car width should be screened and located behind the house or out of view from the sidewalk. 4. Sidewalks are typically concrete and located between a narrow strip of grass bordering
the street and the yard. New sidewalks should follow these historic models.
5. Many district residences have narrow concrete walkways connecting the sidewalk or street to the main entrance. New walkways should follow these historic models.
Item 1 Recommendation: Approval
The applicant would like to remove the existing gravel/grass driveway and replace it with a
paver “ribbon” driveway with a sod strip between the ribbons. Both ribbons will be 2 ½ wide
with a sod strip that will be 3’ wide. The entire driveway is approximately 148’ long and begins
at the street.
2. Remove the vinyl fence on the west elevation and replace it with a wooden (cedar) privacy fence.
Fences & Walls (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.
DR
A
F
T
Page 4 of 6
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 and
bars should not be visible from the street.
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, and 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.
Item 2 Recommendation: Approval
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing vinyl fence and replace it with a wooden
cedar fence. The fence currently is 6ft tall and partially blocks the house from a business-
size generator (the structure is non-residential) next door. The fence is also a barrier for the
sound generated from the generator. They would also like the proposed fence to be about
8ft tall to block the barbed wired fence next door.

Proposed Alteration, Renovation or Addition
The following addition has been requested by the applicant. See the application included.
1. Change previously approved color from gloss black to Verde Gris
PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION:
Reviewed by: Scott Stephens, Planning Director
Site Visits Conducted: August 2022
Recommendation: Approval
Evaluation:
The subject property/proposal is a new roundabout constructed in the intersection of Bridge Street and
Maple Street. Property to the west is the site of the Daniel Pratt Gin Company that is currently being
converted to apartments (residential), to the south is the local Masonic lodge, and to the east is a single
family housing.
The subject property is between a former industrial site (the apartment project will be maintaining the
industrial look), a civic building, and a recently built residential house. The Prattville Commercial Design
Review Guidelines Manual has no reference to or information on fountains. The Prattville Residential
Design Review Guidelines Manual does. The relevant sections of manual are included. Staff
comments/evaluations are summarized at the end of each section.
Staff Analysis / Recommendation:
1. Change color from previously approved gloss black to Verde Gris.
Pools and Fountains (Residential Guidelines page 51)
1. Swimming pools and fountains should be located in the back yards and have limited
visibility from public vantage points.

2. Plants and/or fencing should be used to screen views of pools or fountains.
Staff Analysis
This proposed fountain was previously approved by the HPC at the March 24, 2022, meeting. The
discussed and approved finish was ‘gloss black’ which would be similar in color and finish to the
nearby fencing, signs posts, etc.
The newly requested finish is ‘Verde Gris,’ which will be more similar to the existing Musgrove
Fountain in Heritage Park.
