I recall reading in the Ann Arbor News a few months back that the city was going to ban certain types of grills on/near certain structures, but I’m not sure if this is related or not.

Ah, it looks like Ryan already found the info.

This was encouraged through City Council by a group called the Campus Neighbors.
If I recall correctly, the rules don’t say that you have to get RID of your gas grill; you should be able to STORE it outside on your porch. I believe that the new ordinance states that you can’t light the grill within 10 feet of any wooden surface, whether your porch, balcony or house. Which – to me, is not completely unreasonable.
By the way – go to http://www.voteJason.com/survey.html concerning the city ordinance on banning couches on porches – now that’s ridiculous.
