76 MT. HOPE ST
RECOMMENDATION:
For information only.
BACKGROUND:
On May 5, 2008 Council passed a resolution that the recommendation contained in report
CRPS-08-066 concerning an Encroachment Agreement to legalize an existing fence at 76 Mt.
Hope St. encroaching onto the York St. road allowance be deferred to allow the property owner
to have further discussions with City staff to clarify issues concerning the height and setback of
the existing fence.
REPORT:
The owners of 76 Mt. Hope St. submitted a request for an encroachment agreement with the
City in order to legalize an existing fence. The appropriate staff and outside utility companies
have reviewed this request and have no concerns with entering into an encroachment
agreement provided a minor variance approval for an exemption from Chapter 630 (Fences} of
the City of Kitchener Municipal Code is obtained and the 6' high fence located in the driveway
visibility triangle is brought into compliance with Chapters 630 and 842 of The City of Kitchener
Municipal Code.
The current owner has subsequently been contacted by Legal Services and the owner advised
that adjustments were made to the fence in order to comply. Staff has conducted a site
inspection and has confirmed that the fence abutting the York St. driveway has been adjusted
and sight lines are satisfactory. The fence is in compliance with the above-noted Chapters.
