Renton, Wa 98057 Dear Laureen, This is the plan profile that we talk about via phone. .. July 2, 2009 As of this past Tuesday June 30, 2009 I did a test run of what I may ask you to approve. If this constitutes any other permits or fees that I would be liable for, please let me know this. To me the test was a total success, I was able to introduce myself to the community, and to my surprise people had no ideal that I was at this location. Home cooking they replied, just what we needed in this area. So this is what I call a WIN. I will share with you on what took place and you can tell me what is not remittable. With the consent of Landlord, Businesses around me I was told they didn't mind what I laid out to do. I need of course the city to approve my plan to help me to established an on going service to the community that I very wel1 know is on the grow and have every intention of being a very help to this community as well. As I grow I hope I wil1 be in a place to give back to this community as wel1 as to help in the need of my city. I set up a 10' x 10' tent on the west wall of the parking lot. So the total usage of the lot was about 15' x 15', this allowed 5' for the moving around the tent. There are about 25 stal1s for car use. I use some signs to show what was being prepared. So I guess you could say that we know that we wil1 need a permit for signs. You said no extra business license needed. But of course this time I used an outside gril1 just for hotlinks, hotdogs and such. No real cooking took place other that in the kitchen. The grilled was @ 7 -10' away from building structure. We did use a charcoal fire but someone was anteceding it at all time. This is something that I don't have to have. I can confine all cooking to the inside of the building. Water was readily available also. I understand percussion has to be first when dealing with food on the outside, so I took all that into consideration. I hope this is enough to get started, being that I would like to continue with this through the summer at least once a week. I am thanking you in advance for your help in this project. I see real success and I believe this is something good for my business. Even though this is a 17mo. young business I believe I have the blessings of God for myself and business and He wil1 help al1 those who call upon Him. Even our community and city as wel1 as our state. May God Bless US in al1 things.
