A big THANK YOU to everyone that posted a reply. I live in Illinois
and the scary thing is (at least the way I understand it), you don't
have to obtain a license to be a contractor. I guess we are 1 of only
2 states that don't require this.

Anyway, I plan on telling my contractor NO DICE!!

My earlier comments notwithstanding, that's a very reasonable
thing to do especially in light of the code information posted
here. HOWEVER, do think hard about alternatives. The contractor
will likely have to address the issue but he may do so in the
quickest/cheapest manner possible. It will presumably be code
compliant but it still might be very ugly!

If I was in your shoes, I'd try to formulate one or more
suggested remedies so that the extra vent is going to be
routed in a manner you find acceptable. I have certainly
seen situations where it is extremely difficult to route
a vent in an unobtrusive manner. Figure out some options
before the contractor comes back on site.
