SUBJECT: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT REQUEST – AWNING OVER
SIDEWALK AT 150 KING STREET WEST
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
“Subject to staff approval, that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an
Encroachment Agreement, satisfactory to the City Solicitor, with the property owner(s)
and any mortgagee(s) of the property municipally known as 150 King Street West to
authorize the installation an awning which will project 1.5 feet, more or less, over the City
of Kitchener’s King Street West road allowance.”
BACKGROUND:
The current owner of 144-150 King Street West has received approval of a Façade
Improvement Grant. Prior to modifying the building’s façade, the owner must meet certain
conditions and follow City processes, which involve obtaining an encroachment agreement.
REPORT:
The property owner has asked for permission to install an awning on the façade of the building.
This awning will slightly project over the King Street West sidewalk by about 1.5 feet and will be
about 8.5 feet above ground. There is zero set-back.
The owner has submitted drawings of the proposed awning. The drawing is attached to this
report. This drawing has been circulated to city staff and to external utility companies for their
comments.
Of important note, any wording beyond the municipal address (number and/or street name)
requires a sign permit. If the owner wishes to include the historical name of the building then the
encroachment agreement will include a condition that the owner applies for a sign permit, and
submit drawings in accordance with the City’s Sign By-law.
