Full RecordingSection 57 Notice on Title - 21 Eaton Avenue
"Staff and the Building Inspector detailed serious structural safety issues at the property caused by the removal of seismic shear walls during non-permitted construction of an illegal secondary suite. Legal counsel advised that the Section 57 Notice was the least expensive option to ensure future owners are aware of the illegal work, and that the notice could be removed once deficiencies are rectified. Council debated the urgency given potential sale and the need for legal advice on enforcement options (like remedial action), ultimately tabling the decision until after the in-camera session."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT consideration of the staff report titled "Section 57 Notice on Title - 21 Eaton Avenue" be tabled following discussion at the In-Camera Council meeting."
