and less unambiguous in terms <strong>of</strong> that.<br />
If I could have the next slide, please. The 1959 article that<br />
went from implicit to explicit was a housekeeping article, and that was how<br />
it was presented within the warrant. Interestingly enough, it passed on the<br />
blanket vote.<br />
Second time the blanket vote was used, Mr. Moderator. Bet<br />
you didn’t know, 1958 was the first time that a blanket vote was used.<br />
It passed without debate and controversy because it had<br />
always been the zoning bylaw in <strong>Falmouth</strong> about having two principal<br />
residence.<br />
Can I have the next slide, please? Accessory use. This is<br />
how the 1959 bylaw defined accessory use: a use <strong>of</strong> land or building<br />
customarily incidental but secondary to a permitted use. The garage next<br />
door to us had been made into an apartment if you could call it that,<br />
because the daughter was pregnant and needed a place to live. And that’s<br />
how it happened. It was part <strong>of</strong> the family, it was accessory to the family,<br />
and that’s what went on. And I believe in the 1950's that most <strong>of</strong> these<br />
conversions were made to be accessory to the primary use, not the<br />
principal dwelling or a second principal dwelling on the lot, or a third<br />
principal dwelling on the lot. And there’s no mention <strong>of</strong> accessory in<br />
anything that has been done here, and I think that that’s one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
important distinctions.<br />
