The listed cost on each permit was a mere $415: even when\u00a0you multiply that by 225, you only get $92,960. The filing fee for each permit was $82. Assuming the owners had to pay that fee for each and every permit, it would have cost the owners an additional $18K or almost 20 percent more.<\/p>\n<p>So what was this weird, over-permitted job?
