SNOHOMISH <br /> HEALTH DISTRICT <br /> WWW.SNOHD.ORG Environmental Health Division <br /> December 4, 2015 <br /> Luis Elviro <br /> 222 N 15`2 #6 <br /> Mount Vernon, WA 98273 <br /> Subject: Proposed The Valley Organic Deli, 2805'2 Colby Ave, Everett <br /> Dear Mr. Elviro: <br /> Your plans have been reviewed with the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Health, and with <br /> the policies of the Snohomish Health District. With the addition of the following conditions, the plans <br /> are approved. <br /> 1. The conditional approval of the plans for The Valley Organic Deli was based upon the plans, <br /> menu and HACCP submitted October 20, 2015. Any changes to these items will void this <br /> approval. <br /> 2. The Health District operating permit application process must be completed prior to opening for <br /> business. This facility will be classified as a medium risk food establishment with 13-50 seats. <br /> 3. Three-compartment sinks must be NSF or equivalent listed with rounded corners and integral <br /> drainboards at both ends. The basins of the three-compartment sink must be large enough to fit the <br /> largest item needing to be washed. <br /> 4. An indirect waste drain (an air gap) is required for the food preparation sink, three-compartment <br /> sink, mechanical dishwasher, ice machine, and any equipment in which food is placed. Please note <br /> that a direct drain to a grease trap is not considered an indirect drain even if the grease trap is <br /> indirectly drained. <br /> 5. The food preparation sink must be NSF or equivalent listed with at least one integral drainboard. <br /> 6. Only one food preparation sink is indicated on the floor plan. Because of this, only vegetable <br /> preparation will be allowed at this sink. No rinsing or thawing under running water of raw meat, <br /> poultry, and/or seafood will be allowed without the installation of an additional and separate food <br /> preparation sink. If installed, the location of any additional food preparation sink must be approved <br /> prior to installation. The sink must be NSF listed or equivalent and have at least one integral <br /> drainboard. <br /> 7. A horizontal separation of at least 16 inches or a vertical partition 16 inches in height is required <br /> between the handwash sink and all food preparation areas. <br /> 8. A horizontal separation of at least 16 inches or a vertical partition 16 inches in height is required <br /> between the kitchen handwash sink and the food preparation sink. <br /> 9. The floor plan indicates that the kitchen handwash sink is to be located between the food preparation <br /> sink and a refrigerator. When splash guards (partitions, walls, and or equipment) are provided on <br /> both sides of a handwash sink the distance between the splash guards must be at least 18 inches <br /> apart (shoulder width) to allow proper access to the handwash sink. The handwash sink must also <br /> be installed as far forward as possible so that proper access can be maintained. <br /> 10. Water heaters must be of sufficient size to provide hot water to dishwasher and/or scullery sinks <br /> and at the same time provide hot water to all handwash sinks. <br /> 11. Hot water must be available to all handwash sinks within 15 seconds. The hot water for the facility <br /> must not be used, at any plumbing fixture, for a minimum of 6 hours prior to the preoperational <br /> inspection. This is required so that proper testing of the 15-second time requirement for hot water <br /> availability can be completed. <br /> 3020 Rucker Avenue, Suite 104 0 Everett, WA 98201-3900 0 tel: 425.339.5250 0 fax: 425.339.5 <br />
