Board grants temporary hot‑dog cart permit with health‑department condition
Summary
Julius Hatton received a two‑year temporary permit to operate a seasonal hot‑dog cart near 1258 Walden Ave; approval is contingent on obtaining vendor and county health‑department permits and following health rules.
The Cheektowaga Board of Appeals approved a two‑year temporary permit on May 20 allowing Julius Hatton to operate a seasonal hot‑dog cart near 1258 Walden Avenue, provided the operator secures vendor and county health‑department approvals.
Hatton said he rents a nearby parking lot and that the building includes an on‑site kitchen; he plans a seasonal vendor schedule and said he will get the necessary vendor license and health inspections. Board members emphasized the need for health‑department review and vendor licensing before the cart opens to the public.
The motion to grant the two‑year temporary permit (ending Dec. 31, 2028) carried with the condition that the operator obtain the health‑department permit and comply with all county regulations for food vendors.
Why it matters: A condition requiring health‑department approval is standard for any mobile or temporary food operation and addresses food‑safety risks and vendor compliance.
Next steps: Applicant to secure vendor and health permits and to provide evidence of compliance to town staff.
