BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Delivery of photometric plans and lighting specifics meeting current Muskego design guidelines are required before building permits can be released.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the legal non-conforming use of having farm chickens on the rear of the property is allowed as long as the use is not expanded and kept in a reasonable
