I probably would have gone with the suggestion that prompted your post - just leave the concrete out and see what happens; however, you make some valid points - particularly about the inspector. I am quite sure what the OP has in mind would be beautiful and only hope those on the board don't have tunnel vision.
Rules are important to keep things in line, but someone should have the foresight when an excellent plan comes along to allow for some diversion from said rules. A committee should be wise enough to look at the plan and determine if it enhances the community and take it from there.
