re: Architect fee

I used to draw plans as a draftsman. My first question is what all are you looking for in a "set of plans" and what does your local code enforcement office require to issue a building permit. For example one town may only require a dimensioned floor plan and elevations and another town may require you to have all that plus a mechanical plan, electrical plan, plumbing plan, foundation plan, etc. If it were me I'd approach it as $150/sheet with a $750/minimum or something similar.
