Mr. Christopher Bennett, Prosecution Supervisor, identified himself as the representative of the City of Barrie.
Martin Zarnett identified himself as the representative for the appellant.
Mr. Bennett outlined that he has had discussions with Mr. Zarnett and that the appellant is in a difficult position being unable to access the property to complete the repairs required pursuant to the Property Standards Order due to a landlord tenant matter. Mr. Bennett indicated that on a joint submission basis the City would be content with an extension of the time for compliance to March 31, 2026.
Mr. Zarnett indicated that the appellants want to complete the repairs listed in the Property Standards Order but are unable to do so as the tenant in the property will not grant access. Mr. Zarnett provided an overview of the landlord/tenant process that the appellants have been following with respect to the property and advised that it is expected that an Order will be issued on October 22, 2025. Mr. Zarnett advised that after that date the Sheriff would still need to attend the property which can take some time, after that has taken place the appellants would be able to commence the repairs. Mr. Zarnett requested an extension of the Property Standards Order to March 31, 2026.
Mr. S. Kinsella, Chair of the Property Standards Committee advised that the Committee had made a decision regarding the appeal.
