Mr. Paul Benke, Mr. Wayne Weber and Mr. Walter Hendricks were present to
discuss once again the problems they are experiencing with the Big Muskego
Gun Club expressing the wish that some controls could be placed which
would regulate its expansion. They once again reiterated the problem of
clay pigeons falling on adjacent lands. The committee agreed to contact
City Attorney Buckley to determine if any action on the city's part could
be taken against the Gun Club because of the clay pigeons which are being
shot @nto adjoining property and whether or not the city would be involved
because of the possibility of dangers to persons who might be hit by falling
clay pigeons or pellets. It was the decision of the committee to ask
City Attorney Buckley to develop an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which
would permit gun clubs or trap shoots as a Conditional Use.

the committee to consider the updating of our Burning Ordinance which would
have it conform to the State DNR's regulations. It was the committee's
decision to refer the matter to City Attorney Buckley.
