All Cherokee Triangle property is located in a designated local preservation district.  All exterior changes including repairs, additions, garages or other outbuildings, demolition, fences, decks, sidewalks, major landscaping, etc. are covered by the  Guidelines.  The Guidelines are administered and enforced by Louisville Metro Government. Before you undertake any exterior work, refer to our Handbook to determine how and what you need to do to conform to the Preservation Design Guidelines.  This includes when and how you must get approval from the Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission, its staff, and the Cherokee Triangle Architectural Review Committee.

The Handbook is a quick reference  by Type of Work, to what is not allowed, what kind of work and material does not require prior approval, what can be reviewed and approved at Landmarks staff level, and what requires ARC review and approval.  Telephone and website links for the Landmarks and Preservation site are provided along with illustrations of the principal architectural styles in the Triangle.
