and he was only able to open on last Friday. This Process was started in May and it is now late July, more than 2 months. Now Los Alamos requires a Complete Permit Packet to include: having a Business license, Written Permission from property owner to use property, Building Permit for putting up a tent, Layout diagram and Parking plan with markings, Listed hours of operation, Environmental License from the state, Review by the Planning and Building Committee, Final Fire Marshal inspection approval, and a $50 fee. Even Santa Fe, a much larger city, only required two days to get the same permit this year. A visit to the County Community Development office was unsuccessful as no one was available to answer our questions.Īfter we were finally able to get a phone response from the County Community Development office and asked about the process that is necessary to get a Permit for a food truck or vegetable/fruit/food stand, we were amazed about the process that is required by the County, especially if someone already had a permit for at least the last two years that had previously only required two days to get that permit. We started trying to find out what was taking so long for the Permit. A call to him informed us that the County was holding up the permitting of his operation. Discussions with many other people in the community also indicated that they were upset about his late arrival. June passed, then much of July and he did not show. We too have been waiting especially since we hadn’t had a chance to plant our vegetable garden because of the very cold spring and was depending upon his arrival. I am sure many of our residents have been anxiously awaiting all spring for the arrival of Palisade peaches from the wonderful vendor that comes down from Colorado and puts his tent up at the intersection of Sandia and Diamond.
