And I'm sure the owner will be irate if you suggest that's not a good enough plan to issue a permit for.

Your constituents have it easy.
"a. All construction and alterations to a structure require plans stamped by an NYS-licensed Engineer.
Except:
1) Stamped plans are not required for agricultural structures when the project costs less than $ 10,000 UNLESS the work affects the structural safety of the structure;
2) Stamped plans are not required for residential structures with a gross habitable floor area of 1,500 square feet or less if the project costs less than $ 10,000 UNLESS the work affects the structural safety of the structure.
See Chapter 16 of the Consolidated Laws; Title VIII: The Professions; Article 145 Engineering and Land Surveying, Section 7209.
b) All construction and alterations to a structure require plans stamped by an NYS-licensed Architect.
Except:
1) Agricultural structures;
2) Residential buildings with a gross habitable floor area of 1,500 square feet or less;
2) Alterations costing $20,000 or less, UNLESS the work affects the structural safety of the structure."
I'd say the architects and engineers have a better lobby in Albany than they do in your state or provincial capital.

What project costs less than $10,000 these days? $10,000 / 1500 SF = $6.67 per SF. I don't think residential costs have been that low since the depression

I think post #29 was describing agricultural structures under $10k, not residential structures.
I suppose it's theoretically possible to buy some used shade structure and relocate it for $10k.
