REPORT NO.: COR-18-005
SUBJECT:Encroachment Request for sign and light fixtures projecting
over King Street West – 45 King Street West
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an Encroachment Agreement,
satisfactory to the City Solicitor, with the owner or tenant of the property municipally
known as 45 King Street West to permit a projecting business sign and projecting
lighting fixtures over King Street West.
BACKGROUND:
The business at 45 King Street West was previously a restaurant known as The Berlin. The
restaurant owners have now re-branded the restaurant as The Rich Uncle Tavern and have
applied for an encroachment agreement to allow for a projecting sign and light fixtures over the
City’s sidewalk.
REPORT:
The projecting sign and light fixtures have been installed recently without a sign permit. The
business owners of The Rich Uncle Tavern request permission to encroach about 1 metre over
the City’s sidewalk on King Street West. If approved, the encroachment agreement will be
executed and the sign permit will be released in accordance with the City’s Sign By-law.
The City maintains the King Street sidewalk all year-round with sidewalk sweepers and snow
removal vehicles. These vehicles require a minimum clearance under the proposed projecting
sign and light fixtures of 9 feet or 2.74 metres. The projecting sign is 3.38m from the ground
and meets the City’s requirement.
Drawings were provided to the City for review. There are no concerns through the circulation
process.
