Well, we went down to city a few days ago to review our plans with the Building and Fire Inspection Departments...
They had no problem with the actual layout or building. But we came back to them now to get offical approval, and apparently need a 'licensed design professional' to sign off on it. And we can't find anyone willing to sign off on the layout and put themselfs liable. We have already argued the fact that this is 'temporary' and had no luck. I think the city department here just hasn't ever seen a commercial haunt in the past, and just doesn't have experience with this type of event...
But, we are now sitting with a paid for location and a pre-fabbed haunt, but cannot get approval from the city to begin building.
Has anyone had to deal with anything like this in the past? Any advice?
