Additionally, they have informed me that "a clean-out will be required on a fixture outlet pipe". I'm assuming this means that I must have some sort of an access hole on the pvc drain pipe above ground so that I can get a snake in if need be. Is this correct?

Thanks again,

Yes, I believe that is true. Pretty easy to glue one in. I can't believe your building department is that cooperative. Here in Denver, a homeowner cannot even replace their own toilet. Only licensed people can do so.
I'm with Cmac. The bidet seems preferable. Can't it double as a sink?
