I, too, would be interested to see the ordinances. I believe
WizardMarks, but I want to read it in disbelief myself.
Here's how I got there:
www.municode.com
enter Minneapolis, when that screen comes up
click on Title 12 on the left side of the screen
enter 535.90 scroll down to a line that begins "Minimum size, width...."
It will tell you that the law is now 15% windows on the street side(s)
of a new house, duplex, triplex, four-plex. This is more than double the
amount in 2000, which was 7%. That ordinance was put in during the
seventies when we had long lines at gas stations and "high" gas
prices--little did we know.
To get further information, i.e., when was the law changed, call the
city clerk's office and ask for the person who deals with ordinances.
That person can also tell you the date of the change, who voted for, who
against, and who was not there.
I'm trying to remember how I got to the code citation on aluminum and
vinyl, but I can't remember. I was surfing the Minneapolis ordinances
(god, I must have been bored to tears if I was surfing the muni code).
Or maybe I was having an I. F. Stone moment.
WizardMarks, Central
