Submitted Plans to Health Department

This afternoon was very hectic. I took off early from work thanks to Mot's "Summer Hours" program and had to drive to Ft. Lauderdale to our architect's office to pick up six sets of plans. I had the architect sign and seal five of them and print out an extra set for me to keep. I then drove back up to Margate to drop off the plans at Florida's Division of Business and Professional Regulation. The Division of Hotels and Restaurants is the regulatory agency that reviews and issues permits for restaurants in Florida.

I managed to get to Hotel and Restaurants at 4:30 in the afternoon. This, along with the fact that I didn't have the required water and wastewater approval forms, didn't play well with the plan reviewer. She quickly told me that she didn't believe that I was there at 4:30 and that she couldn't work overtime anymore. Not having the water approval form or a water bill for the space almost cost me the chance to get the plans in for review before the end of the week. The reviewer ended up agreeing to let me fax the bill in on Monday but warned that if I didn't, it would be another 30 days in the review cycle. I'm hoping that I'll get their stamp in two weeks.
