Does your property fall in Butternut Ridge?
North Olmsted’s Butternut Ridge Historic District design guidelines describe a district along Butternut Ridge Road and a Landmarks Commission review process. The district is one part of the city; a North Olmsted mailing address does not mean a property is within it. Ask the city to confirm your particular property.
The guidelines describe a Certificate of Appropriateness process for applicable exterior alterations and construction, while distinguishing ordinary maintenance and repair that do not change the exterior design, material or appearance. Ask the city whether your proposed garage-door work requires review before ordering; do not assume that every repair has the same requirement.
