10/17/12 - A new ordinance will allow some residents of Tyrone Township to keep more dogs on their property while reducing the number allowed for other residents. The previous township dog ordinance allowed two dogs per residence regardless of size. The ordinance passed by the Tyrone Township Board last night includes a gradual increase in the number of dogs allowed based on the size of a parcel, up to six dogs allowed on a parcel larger than six acres. The only member of the board to vote against the ordinance was Supervisor Mike Cunningham, who tells WHMI that he would have preferred to keep a fixed number of dogs allowed on a parcel regardless of size. The new ordinance also brought the townshipâs definition of a commercial dog kennel into compliance with state law. (TD)
