Applicant James Arc told the board he wanted a simple, metal carport to cover one or two cars in a roughly 20-foot gap on the side of his house; he said the structure would be easy to install and primarily intended to reduce debris from nearby hackberry trees. The applicant said the carport would not attach to the house and estimated a quick installation.

Charlie Coleman of the Cloverdale Isle Association and other board members raised concerns about a plain metal structure's compatibility with the streetscape. Coleman noted past approvals of temporary metal carports on nearby Winthrop Court that were later softened with jasmine or lattice, and urged a design that fits the historic character. Staff recommended locating the carport behind the front elevation of the house rather than at the front; a staff member also warned the applicant about wind-uplift vulnerabilities on smaller temporary structures and advised proper tie-down if installed.

The board voted to table the request until the next meeting and asked the applicant to return with an engineered plan or variance, exact dimensions and proposed landscaping or other measures to soften the appearance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Montgomery Architectural Review Board (September 23, 2025)","oneSentenceSummary","An owner seeking a small metal carport in the Garden District asked board permission but the board tabled the request until the next meeting so the applicant can provide exact dimensions, a variance and a softened design with landscaping; staff recommended the structure be set behind the house's front elevation.","taxTitle","Montgomery City, Montgomery County, Alabama","taxId",3930,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975458,"Board conditionally approves exterior repairs at 968 East Fairview; staff to approve final color and muntin details",593,1172000,1765000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a&start=1172&end=1765","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a/thumbnail_1172000.jpg","/articles/5975458/Montgomery-City/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Board-conditionally-approves-exterior-repairs-at-968-East-Fairview-staff-to-approve-final-color-and-muntin-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975458-5d82726a39c67b5789ad381d864bf87d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775910196&Signature=esLrzbtwwqozW5P8vPm4tOvqnNJjCwjUneBgFSw7XUs5a1mVfcc2oENeMrlByVxhGiiN7kkV-FgHuWBmXZqapNSRTU9ffgisMiXOWLTjQJCT3WxLK-tz~Nl5w3GeyE8koMlNFc8h-0w8BLbqBUlnK7AEJfTfqhlVzEU8Ln9kX77QLTijrF7a2~s5XFJxsRqghQ1vtg~KpjoHCEYoZc9wn67duPDtxeu0p2NytY1MWqv4Nu1b3f1nRl7woAn7Kvm9va9MeaaFyp7K41ikBltyzNB-glVrDychLKRqufGgzpYvDpQMlQthepynxuXF4mnDVR7rs91PQe1sCZDpuTMMZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cloverdale Historic Preservation Board approved changes made to a detached storage building and exterior siding at 968 East Fairview with conditions including window muntins and staff approval of final paint color.

Applicant Ernest Entz and his wife told the board they had begun interior repairs and replaced rotten exterior material on a detached storage building; they installed Hardie (fiber-cement) siding where the building previously had OSB or other nonhistoric material. Entz said a window that appears in the current elevation was already present and that another previously covered window had been uncovered and repaired.

Charlie Coleman, representing the Cloverdale Isle Association, told the board the association had no objection to the project but asked that staff's recommendations on window configuration, lighting and color be followed. Board members discussed window treatment: the board specified that windows be configured with a 6-over-6 pane appearance using applied (high-profile) muntins if the owner did not replace the sash, and agreed the new siding should be painted a more subdued earth tone rather than stark white.

A motion recorded at the meeting approved the work as installed with the exception that 6-over-6 muntins be added or applied in a high-profile configuration, and that the installed Hardie siding be painted with a color to be approved by Sean Rose and staff; acceptable colors were described as either matching the brick or the second-story infill. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.

The transcript shows the board emphasized aesthetics and compatibility with the house and surrounding streetscape; staff will review and approve final paint selection and muntin profile.","Owners of 968 East Fairview received conditional approval to keep recent exterior repairs and siding replacement if they add 6-over-6 muntins or applied muntins and paint the new Hardie (hardy) siding a staff-approved color matching the brick or second-story infill.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975463,"Board approves porch addition at South Perry Street to address recurring rot, preserve cornice details",324,744000,1068000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a&start=744&end=1068","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a/thumbnail_744000.jpg","/articles/5975463/Montgomery-City/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Board-approves-porch-addition-at-South-Perry-Street-to-address-recurring-rot-preserve-cornice-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975463-f1d3d586573576a94d862ec2beb2a3e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775910196&Signature=Vgx0Pv18lJQ796iYH2iaESRlrCjhPGYfZocTcy3SyZM4FvDl-vdlNx6HnuqygJP0QbCCtupZEKZiO4Ffwp8kMH6l87umk0v2lql~WnWzjkMjwo6c8hxkSEjNLIP6HGQWIUY-xRTM4v6AYUGb~arVLweM2k03EJXrFR0mUH~vkhrnygkpUgUqJAwTK5NC6Egd43d0Pz5L1ThoPPJRnjeZ0KUS-KHHzZQt-qwwukUwjeEC25iC0qzo7eu0B4pJc5LHuWrc~L8zW2~sTOVuwaE8K5wSeDb0ZvNkQz~76tsnYyUBwq9y-JpV2wvkeQexA09LPI7CvqZ566m~AmXTgywGlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cloverdale Historic Preservation Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for a porch addition at a house on South Perry Street after applicants Forrest and Rebecca Harris described recurring rot where the existing porch meets a patio.

The Harrises told the board they acquired the house because their family is outgrowing their Old Cloverdale home and want to “fix this reoccurring problem once and for all.” Forrest Harris said the existing corner where the porch meets the patio has rot that has been patched repeatedly and that the interior floor in that room has been replaced in the past. The proposal would cover the patio to create a continuous porch area, set back about 17 inches so the new roof is level with the patio deck and balances the house's existing porte-cochère on the left.

Harris said the addition would use the same entablature, molding and dentils as the existing porch and would be built with rot-resistant wood; he also noted they found columns in Coleman that he said match the original columns. Land use staff member Sean Rose asked how the new porch roof would intersect the existing cornice and dentils; Harris responded that the entablature would be continuous and form an L at the junction, with the new column placed about a half-diameter behind the existing column to follow traditional spacing.

An audience member who had drawn the project praised the applicants' presentation and offered support. After discussion, a board member moved to approve the project as submitted; the board voted in favor and the applicants were thanked for their drawings.

The board provided no additional conditions on construction details beyond the review that follows standard permitting and historic-review practice.","The Cloverdale Historic Preservation Board approved a porch addition to cover an existing patio at a South Perry Street house after applicants described recurring rot; the addition will be set back about 17 inches and use matching columns and rot-resistant wood.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5975467,"Staff schedules public presentation on city climate action plan at Juliet Hampton Morgan Library",221,449000,670000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a&start=449&end=670","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5854595-b87fca0d0443726bae42f7564e1daf5a/thumbnail_449000.jpg","/articles/5975467/Montgomery-City/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Staff-schedules-public-presentation-on-city-climate-action-plan-at-Juliet-Hampton-Morgan-Library","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975467-b74690f62e33f68649105c50196091fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1775910196&Signature=PPoei4ABygAr1x9wxvkAHCsbZyegk-tiCzJQd0SPAUkonENbFARHmKSc7ry4M7YRQcq1XyrJnsbx7fxSag~IUeylQ9MjUrqxVfCg0TgD3Jbgw6nOFPqT3vH1zf2ttCSbZEIT4Kt0PAcfFIh86KiBrqDy18z99hcilzNqQStkbGT~Dd0poS0f-nS5txujmGpWiG2rBj87pH5V-2-OhfmIW-dkQqH~JUQkHSX9oRY6hI-YIAyIGuJp7-XYgi1ChXbdwU3FXKQpVbAiCSYpPhYodDzla3GOapAqAqvtTo1kpdtjg66EqfckUAJI2KDAp1XmFE9mWU1~MspqrhFDh0WEpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Warren Adams, a member of the city’s land use staff, announced a public presentation of the draft city climate action plan that staff will hold at the Juliet Hampton Morgan Memorial Library, 245 High Street, on a Wednesday in early October from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Adams invited board members and the public to attend informally; he said there will be a scheduled presentation during the event and attendees “don’t need to be there for the full 3 hours.”

The draft recommendations are grouped into seven topic areas: buildings, energy, transportation, land use and zoning, urban forestry, agriculture and waste. Adams said several recommendations — including adopting green building standards, installing solar panels and increasing tree cover — could affect the Historic Preservation Board’s work on building treatment and materials.

Adams asked board members to note that the plan includes guidance on reusing existing buildings and salvaging materials from structures that are demolished. He encouraged board members and residents to attend and review the draft recommendations.

Board members did not take formal action during the announcement; the item was informational only.","Land use staff announced a public presentation of the draft city climate action plan at the Juliet Hampton Morgan Memorial Library in early October; the draft groups recommendations into seven areas including buildings, energy, transportation and urban forestry.","actionData","errors"]
