L6J 5A6 THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF OAKVILLE BY-LAW NUMBER 1973-124 A by-law to amend By-law 1965-136 (Extension of non-conforming uses) THE COUNCIL ENACTS AS FOLLOWS: 1. By-law 1965-136 is amended by adding thereto immediately following Sec­ tion 13 a new section as follows: 13A. In a zone other than a commercial zone where land is used for a pur­ pose permitted in the zone but the use does not comply with the pro­ visions of this by-law by reason only of not meeting the yard require­ ments, an addition may nevertheless be made to an existing building or structure or a further building or structure erected provided that every such addition and further building or structure complies with all the provisions of this by-law." 2. This by-law takes effect only upon the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board being obtained. PASSED by the Council this 27th day of August, 1973. B. H. Barrett D. W. Brown Mayor Clerk SUMMARY OF SECTION 14 OF BY-LAW NO. 1974-26 PURPOSE OF THE BY-LAW The current Zoning By-law prohibits the construction of an addition to any building which fails to comply in every respect with regulations set out in the Zoning By-law. The purpose of Section 14 of By-law 1974-26, is to re-enact By-law 1973-124 which allows, (except in Commercial Zones), building ad­ ditions or permitted further buildings or structures notwithstanding that an existing building fails by reason only of not meeting the yard requirements, to conform to the Zoning By-law, so long as the additions or further build­ ings or structures themselves comply in every respect. EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW A new Section 13A is added to By-law No. 1965-136 (The General Zoning By­ law ) to allow the construction of building additions or of new buildings or structures on a lot whose existing use may not have the yards required by the Zoning By-law, so long as the addition or the new building or structure meet all the yard regulations. LOCATION OF THE LANDS AFFECTED All lands in the Town of Oakville, excepting those lands zoned for commer­ cial uses. 1 am a great believer in the use of bone meal as a fetilizer in the garden. Its application to plants and shrubs two or three times during the growing s e a s o n s h o u l d be adequate. It should be cultivated into the soil and wa t e r ed a f t e r application so that the nutrients dissolve into the root systems of the plants. Having the soil well cultivated at all times is n e c e s s a r y for the survival of the plant growth. Hard and dead soil is useless and does not help the plant's roots receive the air and water it requires.

We often neglect to see that what we have planted is watered, fertilized and pruned, especially in the case of evergreens, and shrubs. In a dry spell, the plants should be wa t e r ed carefully at least once or twice a week. Again this would depend on your soil. If your soil is sandy, I would suggest that a mulch of peat moss or bark chips may be helpful in holding the moisture in the soil sufficiently enough to promote good growth. always have some tool at hand for the easy cultivation of the soil around evergreen trees, shrubs, annuals and p e r e n n i a l s . Th i s cultivation also helps in keeping the area free f r o m w e e d s and germination of the seeds is harder to get started. The neglect of pruning is often noticeable in our gardens,especially if they have not been pruned in many years and the plant growth has taken on a wild appearance. Yearly pruning is necessary for evergreens and shrubs in order to keep their shape and size. Now is the time to prune those shrubs that have blossomed and the flowers that are dying or dead. Pines can be pruned also and now is a good time to start maintaining that candle-like shape while the pines are out in full growth. I 'm s u r e I 've mentioned this before but it is probably worth repeating for evergreen owners.. The best time for evergreen pruning is when the light green growth of the new shoots is about to change into the darker green to blend with the rest of the tree. How much to prune? It is better to prune a little off each branch than to use an axe to hack away at it in a few years time. Keep the grass well watered and cut, and apply a weed killer for the dandelions and other broad- leaved weeds. Trim the edges of the grass and cut out dead branches from other shrubs you might have in the area. Yes, we have come to the end of planting our gardens, but now we have to make use of our garden tools to keep them in shape. I trust that during the last few weeks my column has helped you and your garden to get along a little more easily. Until next spring. Good Gardening.
