Grumble Grumble Gripe

My wife and I are planning to build a deck on our house. Pretty much just a plain Jane 12' x 16' deck, but due to our special needs son we're going to make the hand rails 48" high, and I'm going to beef up the posts, beams, and joists to carry the extra weight for a 5' round kiddie pool. Because of the extra lumber, and because of my son's special needs (ie: handicap), my city is charging me an extra $196 for the building permit so they can do additional inspections during the contruction process. Bastages.
