Subject: ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT REQUEST
FOR THIRD PARTY SIGN - WILFRID LAURIER
UNIVERSITY- IN FRONT OF 120 DUKE ST. W.
RECOMMENDATION:
"That subject to Committee of Adjustment recommendation and subsequent Council approval of
a third party sign, the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an Encroachment Agreement,
satisfactory to the City Solicitor, with Wilfrid Laurier University to authorize the encroachment of
a third party sign located on the Duke Street W. road allowance in front of 120 Duke St. W."
REPORT:
Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) currently has an existing fascia sign facing Duke Street W.
located near the top of the building. WLU would like to install an identification sign at street
level in order that the property is easier to identify at street level both by pedestrian and
vehicular traffic. The proposed location encroaches approximately 2 metres onto the Duke
Street W. road allowance in front of 120 Duke St. W.
WLU secured the support of the Committee of Adjustment to allow the installation and
maintenance of a third party sign to be located on the Duke St. W. road allowance subject to
certain conditions contained in SG 2006-012.
