Report No.: CRPS-07-082
Subject: REQUEST FOR OUTDOOR PATIO EXTENSION -DANDY'S
RESTAURANT - 85 KING STREET WEST -JULY 13, 2007
RECOMMENDATION:
That the request of Dandy's Restaurant, 85 King Street West, to extend the patio in front of their
premises on July 13, 2007, as part of Cruise Night, sponsored by the City of Kitchener, be
approved provided that once King Street reopens at 11:00 p.m. the patio extension is removed
to allow for pedestrians to use the sidewalk.
That the above approval be conditional upon the patio conforming to the sketch appended to the
May 30, 2007 correspondence of Gus Bardouniotis, being an area approximately 18'x20' and
accommodating 6 tables.
BACKGROUND:
A similar request was approved by Council in 2006 for the same patio area and number of
tables. Council's permission is required, prior to any extension onto city property and prior to
the Province amending the Liquor Licence for the operation.
REPORT:
Attached is a letter from Gus Bardouniotis, dated May 30, 2007, including a sketch plan,
requesting permission to expand the outdoor patio previously approved by Council to the curb
line during Cruise Night. The area would be enclosed by a 42" wooden barrier and all food and
beverages would be served by staff from the restaurant proper.
Licensing received several complaints last year that the extended patio became a problem after
11:00 p.m. once King Street re-opened. There was no place for pedestrians to pass by the
patio unless they walked onto King Street which became a safety concern.
Licensing has not received any complaints concerning the operation of the outdoor patio in
2007.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
COMMUNICATIONS:
A copy of this report has been forwarded to Mr. Gus Bardouniotis, owner of Dandy's Restaurant.
