As we sit in the middle of an oil war with gas going up at the pump
every Wednesday it seems like, your city council voted on April 29 of
this year to change the ordinance governing the number of windows in
single, duplex, triplex, and fourplex buildings. The code formerly read
that sides facing the street must have 7% of the area in windows. The
council changed that to 15%. (Ordinance 535.90, Section C.) Only
Lilligren voted against it, though Zerby, Johnson, and Goodman were not
there. The two Greens on the council voted in the affirmative..
In another action the council voted that new house construction cannot
have either aluminum or vinyl siding, in a stroke making housing less
affordable and harder to care for, particularly for seniors and disabled
persons.
Real nice. Real dumb. Real typical.
