Monday Monday

Work work work

I hate Mondays, to much to do so many places I need to be. I need to route , trim cap, paint and order supplies.

Watcha all doing?

Actually not far from the truth. I'm the one in the middle.

I don't understand some municipalities. They write a sign ordinance, spelling out exactly what is allowed, what isn't, and how much you're going to have to pad their pockets to do something not allowed. So I fill out the permit app, add the 7 copies of drawings, following the ordinance to a TEE. In every other city around here, the zoning admin reviews the application, looks at the drawings, gets his abacus out, checks the square footage, and issues the permit. Time elapsed - 7 days max. Not in Highland Heights, Ky. After the admin looks at it, he submits it to the whole board for review, which meets first Tuesday of the month. Now, my question is, unless they want a big fat law suit on their hands, what is the board going to do but approve the permit if it's within the ordinance? Doesn't their sense of self-importance and their egos get enough of a boost just by the mere fact that they're on the board in the first place? :bitchin:

Anybody else ever heard of BS like this?

We have a town near by that makes us wait quite a while and charges alot before issuing permits. They even want to know how much we are charging for the sign in the application. The next town over, they could almost care less. Your within the guidelines, ok good enough. $5 or $10 charge and your out the door with the permit.
