Can you ask in advance if, realistically, a municipal inspector will be available in the 48 hour window so you can obtain your own quicker if need be? Are they nice down in Georgia, that way?
Not unless you want to call a plan review an inspection. During construction, sure. But before construction, what are they going to inspect? The land? Although, I wouldn't put it past some cities to start doing that just to drum up more money.
We have a commercial building that we are renovating and are nearing the time when the sign has to go up. Do you think I'd be able to ask for deviation from the size to accommodate something larger than the 16sq cutoff? My storefront is rather large and I'd rather not illuminate the sign.
