Anaina Hou proposes food‑truck court at mini‑golf site; board raises permit and septic concerns

Anaina Hou Executive Director Thomas Daubert told the board that due to rising costs the nonprofit will discontinue most prepared food service at the mini‑golf facility and instead accept applications for a food‑truck court to be sited adjacent to the golf course.

Daubert said the nonprofit plans to accommodate four but no more than six trucks, charging $1,500 per month for leased spaces. Anaina Hou would retain exclusive rights to sell drinks and supply wastewater disposal, cold and dry storage and restroom access; the court would operate from 7 a.m. through dinnertime. Board members and residents raised questions about state and county permitting, whether a cluster of trucks constitutes a restaurant for permitting purposes, adequacy of the existing septic system and the loss of entry‑level local jobs. Daubert said Anaina Hou was "pledging to keep all jobs" and promised a master plan within six months; the minutes record that the nonprofit will accept applications through March 15.
