Currently, manager/owner Bernadette Cattaneo carries multiple permits and licenses for the resort including permitted use. A conditional use permit was not applied for with the county planning department which would allow emergency response agencies a voice in the permitting process and a possibility of recouping the funds necessary to carry the extra staff for sufficient coverage of the event and the town. According to Planning Director Rebecca Willis, the resort has applied for many different permits over the years for different events and land uses. This has caused a large amount of paperwork "that needs to be reviewed."
