as barns, greenhouses, stables and driving sheds.
Y Section 4.9 Obnoxious Uses — Add "water" in addition to land, and clarify the obnoxious

• Section 4.59 Second Dwelling Units - Replace the title "Second Dwelling Units" with
"Additional Residential Unit", and replace and revise Subsections a) through h) in its
entirety with new provisions in accordance with the Official Plan.
