DATE OF REPORT: March 14, 2018
REPORT NO.: FCS-18-027
SUBJECT:Encroachment Agreement - canopy and awnings over sidewalk –
276 King Street West
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
“That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an Encroachment Agreement,
satisfactory to the City Solicitor, with the property owner and any mortgagee(s) of
the property municipally known as 276 King Street West to permit a canopy and
awnings that will project over the City’s sidewalk.”
BACKGROUND:
Perimeter Development Corporation (Perimeter) has applied for permission to install a
canopy attached to the building known as Eaton Lofts that will project over the City’s
King Street West and Water Street North sidewalk. In addition, Perimeter would like to
install awnings attached to the building of Eaton Lofts and projecting over Water Street
North.
REPORT:
The proposed canopy is a curved canopy that will wrap around the corner of the
building at the intersection of King Street West and Water Street North. This canopy will
project different lengths at different points because it is a curved structure. The canopy
will at minimum project 2 feet or 0.61 metres to a maximum of 6 feet or 1.82 metres
from the building’s façade over to King Street West. Similarly, as the canopy wraps
around the corner, it will project 1 foot 6 inches or 0.46 metres at minimum and 6 feet or
1.82 metres at maximum over the Water Street North sidewalk.
Several awnings will be approximately 3 feet or 0.9 metres encroaching over Water
Street West. The attached drawings were circulated for staff comments through the
circulation process.

Since the City maintains the King Street West sidewalk and the Water Street North
sidewalk all year-round with sidewalk sweepers and snow removal vehicles, the canopy
and awnings will be above the required minimum clearance of 9 feet or 2.74 meters
above the sidewalk.
There will be businesses that will operate in lower levels of the Eaton Lofts when
tenants lease the available units. If signage is added to the encroaching canopy and
awnings, then Committee of Adjustment approval for third-party signage may be
required. Furthermore, the wrap-around canopy must also stay clear of the existing
traffic signal pole. Conditions in the agreement will address these concerns.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommendation outlined in this report supports the achievement of the City’s
strategic vision through the delivery of core service.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
All fees associated with encroachments will be paid by Perimeter. The Application fee of
$280.00 has been paid. Processing fee of $235 will become payable after Council
approval.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
INFORM – This report has been posted to the City’s website with the agenda in
advance of the Standing Committee.
