STEVE COLEY
The CBD (Coffee, Burrito, Doughnuts) Kiosk is a small, towable structure designed to function as a drive-through
coffee kiosk. The Colorado Dept of Public Health and Environment and Garfield County do not require
inspection and permitting of this structure as a Retail Food Establishment if the menu is restricted to just hot
coffee and doughnuts prepared at an approved location. The initial menu will be restricted to these two items.
The CBD Kiosk is located in the parking lot of the closed Dos Hermanos restaurant (formerly the Sopris
Restaurant), the address of which is 7215 Hwy 82, just south of the CMC turnoff. Attached is a letter from Ted
Skokos, President of Garfield County Commercial Investments, LLC, the owner of this property, authorizing my
building permit application for this kiosk.
The location of the CBD Kiosk is not permanent, as power will be supplied by a gas generator, there is not a
permanent foundation, and when wheels and hitch are re-attached it can be towed away. The axle has been
left in place, but the wheels removed so as to lower the height of the serving window to that of the customer's
vehicles. The kiosk frame is supported and held level by steel jack stands. The kiosk, due to the small size, will
be operated by one person.
The frame of the kiosk is 2" steel square tubing, welded together in such a manner as to support a %" plywood
deck and a 2"x4" bottom plate screwed to the deck for the walls, as well as additional steel to provide mounting
points for the axle springs and a tongue for towing (currently removed). There is also a folding jack stand on the
tongue to support the front when parked if the wheels have been bolted back on. The frame of the kiosk is to
be anchored to the earth via two mobile home tie-downs, located at the front and rear of the kiosk.
There will be no plumbing attached to the kiosk. A Porta Potty will be provided and on-site for the duration of
the kiosk's operation. There is a small hand washing sink inside the kiosk, supplied with clean water from a tank
via a diaphragm pump and instant hot water heater. Waste water from the sink will be collected in a tank and
dumped into a municipal waste water system.
The kiosk has 2"x4" wood stud wall framing on 16" centers (determined with a stud finder), sheathed with OSB
and T-111 siding, and the plywood interior walls are covered with FRP {fiberglass reinforced plastic, a common
surface for commercial kitchens). There is l"x4" pine trim around the window and door openings. There is a
2x4 top plate on the walls, supporting the 2"x4" roof joists which are 16" OC, with blocking in between each
joist. Roof joists are held together with a collar tie, evidence of which can be seen inside the kiosk because of
the horizontal area between the joist angles. The roof is decked with OSB, and covered with lSlb felt, with a
white metal Propanel roof screwed down. The 6 %" soffits have been enclosed.
Power is supplied by a gas generator, which is wired into a breaker panel. An application to the State for an
Electric Permit has been submitted. Heat is supplied by a portable electric unit. There are 6, 24"x35"
horizontal sliding windows, and a steel 32"x80 %'' exterior door.
This kiosk had previously been licensed and operated as a "Stand Up Restaurant" in Denver, as well as in the
town of Carbondale next to Hwy 133.
