Grand Marais, take a look at what one Minneapolis neighborhood (Southwest) is doing to rein in the excesses of "monster houses" by following this link. In a nutshell, they want to REDUCE the 35 foot height limit and restrict the footprint of a house to 50 percent of its lot size.
True says, good idea. We wouldn't do so badly to follow their example instead of passing new zoning ordinances to allow bigger footprints and higher height limits which is now being pushed by the so-called Business Council.
