Subject: Re: Brasserie - Encroachment Permit
Nick, my apology for the delays. Upon receiving your notification, I discussed with owners who went
back to the review with the City. I learned from Hamish that approvals for this use was given in the
issuance of permit to build and with their recent talks with the City I was told that with the submittal of
the application the process would be complete.
Is this your understanding? If so, do I need to respond to the requests given in the letter you provided
that was issued back in 2020, or do I need to submit a new application?
Please advise and I will prepare quickly either way.

Hi Nick. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. After you left the property,
our Accounting department sent me what they had on file and noted that they believe
that at some point it was decided that the permit for this easement would be included
in our current business license and a Waiver & Release of Liability was included. Please
take a look and let me know if this shines any light on the question at hand. If that is not
the case, we look to you to assist us in getting our permit current.
I have included Sheila Henley from our Corporate Accounting office to ensure we can
keep this process moving forward with everyone at the table.
Thank you again.

Greetings Matt and Graham,

Code enforcement recently received a complaint regarding tables
and chairs for the Brasserie (1119 Garden) that are encroaching
onto the public right of way/sidewalk. I visited the property today
and spoke with Anna (copied on this email) who is copied on this
email. I stated that we have an expired Directors approval but
nothing current in our system.
My question to you is, do they need to apply for a new Directors
approval or is this something that can be resolved with an
encroachment permit?
Sincerely,
Nick Buckley

Hi Anna and Graham,
This would need both a Planning application and encroachment permit to be processed. Graham, please
advise the status of the attached Planning application and/or if a new application will need to be processed.
Our outdoor dining ordinance recently changed. More information is available here:
https://www.slocity.org/government/department-directory/public-works/programs-and-services/transportation-
planning-and-engineering/outdoor-dining.
For the encroachment permit portion, which I would be your contact on, I would need a current version of the
attached insurance documents (COI with an additional insured endorsement). I would also need an approved
plan (after it’s been processed with the Planning Division/Graham) and billing contact information for the new
sidewalk rental fees, described at the link and in this table:
