Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Mr. Steckley,
The Washington County Department of Health and Human Services Environmental Health
Program has received plans for the proposed Mrs. Fields Cookies restaurant to be located at 54 b'7
SW Washington Square Road, Suite A5 in Tigard, Oregon.
The plans you submitted have been approved subject to the following conditions. If any future
changes are necessary during construction, the changes must be first approved by this office. Your
initial application did not include a sample menu. Please submit a sample menu to complete your
application.
WATER AND WASTEWATER
It is our understanding that community water and community sewer are utilized at this facility.
The local Plumbing Authority may require that a grease trap or interceptor be installed. If a grease
trap or interceptor is required, it must be located and installed so that it is effective and can be
maintained in a sanitary manner. A maintenance schedule must be developed and followed to
prevent grease from being disposed of in the sanitary sewer.
Your plans show a utility mopwashing sink or curbed floor receptacle. No other fixture may be
used for disposal of mopwater. If you plan to install an automatic chemical dispensing system at
your mopwashing station, please contact the local Plumbing Authority for information on the
proper backflow device needed to protect your fresh water.
Please supply a mop - hanging device so mops and similar floor cleaning equipment can be cleaned
and hung between uses.

Restaurant Plan Review Letter -- Washington County HHS Environmental Health Program Page 2
Be advised that your hot water heater must be of sufficient capacity to meet the peak hot water
demands of your facility. If hot water availability is found to be problematic, additional hot water
generating equipment will be required. Preliminary calculations show that your facility has a peak
demand of approximately 75 GPH. Your proposed 9 KW capacity water heater is calculated to be
sufficient to meet this demand.
RESTROOMS
The plans show common public restrooms within 500 feet. When public restrooms are not
provided within the food facility, but at a distance or elsewhere in the building, you must provide a
sign indicating the location. Restrooms must be open and available for use during all restaurant
operating hours. A signed Restroom Agreement must be provided prior to license approval for any
restroom not under your direct control. The agreement must be renewed annually or whenever a
current agreement lapses. Please submit a signed Restroom Agreement to this office prior to
requesting a pre - opening inspection.
Restrooms must meet all the requirements as described in the Oregon Food Sanitation Rules for
design, construction, and operation. There must be at least one covered waste receptacle in the
women's restroom.
HANDWASHING
The plans you have submitted show two (2) handwashing sinks in the food service area.
Handwashing facilities as shown on the plans are approved.
The number and placement of handwashing sinks must be adequate to serve all food service
activities including preparation, cooking, dishwashing, serving, bussing, bartending, and
restrooms. Use of handwashing sinks is restricted to handwashing only. Access to each sink
must be kept free for its intended use. Any adjacent work surfaces or clean utensils must be
protected through installation of a splash guard.
All handwashing sinks, including restroom handwashing sinks, must be equipped with dispensed
soap and towels. Common (cloth) towels cannot be used to dry hands. If disposable towels are
used, waste receptacles must be conveniently located near the handwashing facilities.
All handwashing sinks must be supplied with hot and cold water or tempered water under
pressure. Hot water must reach at least 110 °F within a reasonable time. Metered faucets must be
adjusted to dispense for at least 15 seconds before shutoff
Handwashing signage must be posted. Handwashing signage is available from this office upon
request.
DISHWASHING AND SANITIZING
The plans show a three - compartment sink for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing utensils. Each
compartment of the three - compartment sink must be large enough to totally submerse your largest
multi -use utensil. Separate areas must be designated for soiled and clean utensils. You must
supply a drainboard or shelving to air dry clean utensils. Utensil washing sinks may not be used for
handwashing.
Restaurant Plan Review Letter -- Washington County HHS Environmental Health Program Page 3
You must also have a method in place to clean and sanitize fixed food contact surfaces and
equipment. If wet wiping cloths are to be used, they must be kept in a clean rinse solution with an
approved sanitizer to prevent bacterial growth.
FOOD EQUIPMENT AND PLUMBING
All plumbing fixtures and installations must meet the requirements of the Oregon Uniform
Plumbing Code, including the installation of backflow devices to protect the potable water supply.
The facility must also meet any additional requirements by the City of Tigard.
Drain lines from any fixture or piece of equipment used to hold food or ice must waste indirectly to
a floor sink or floor drain. This typically includes refrigerator condensation lines, ice machines, hot
water heaters, sinks used for food preparation, soda fountains, dishwashing machines, steam tables,
dipper wells, and espresso machines.
Where an air gap is required to prevent contamination from sewage backflow, the distance between
the bottom of the drain pipe and the rim of the floor sink or floor drain must be at least one inch or
two pipe diameters, whichever is greater. Floor drains and floor sinks must remain accessible for
cleaning and maintenance.
Your plans indicate an indirect waste connection for the walk -in freezer, the soda machine, and the
ice machine.
Your plans specify that the three compartment sink will waste using a direct waste connection. The
third compartment of the 3- compartment sink must waste indirectly. Please submit
additional information that specifies how this equipment will waste and the location of floor
sinks and floor drains. (See section below for preparation sink requirements.)
Your menu requires you to have a food preparation sink for washing, cooling, or thawing foods.
Please submit revised plans showing the location of a food preparation sink and the location
of the floor sink to which it will drain or revised plans showing that the 3 compartment of
the utility sink is indirectly plumbed. Food may not be placed into any sink that does not waste
indirectly with an approved air gap as described above. The third compai tment of a three -
compartment sink may be utilized for food preparation only if it wastes indirectly. Food may not be
placed into sinks of incompatible use such as handwashing sinks, mop sinks, or utility sinks.
Wall- mounted spray guns must terminate above the rim of the sink or basin they serve. Any hose
bib to which hoses will be attached must be equipped with an approved backflow protection device.
Chemical dispensing systems connected to water supply lines must have approved backflow
protection.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Refrigerated ready -to -eat potentially hazardous food that is cooked in the facility and held for more
than 24 hours must be date - marked. This food must be consumed within seven days. The date of
preparation is included as the first day in the date - marking system. Food prepared onsite and then
frozen must be date - marked to indicate how long the food may be kept once the product is thawed.
Restaurant Plan Review Letter -- Washington County NHS Environmental Health Program Page 4
This same rule applies to certain ready -to -eat potentially hazardous foods you purchase, such as deli
meats and dairy products. These foods must be date - marked once packages have been opened.
All refrigeration must be capable of holding foods at 41°F or below. Refrigerators and freezers that
do not have integral built -in thermometers must be equipped with a thermometer that is accurate to
within 2 °F. It is recommended that refrigeration temperature logs be kept.
Refrigeration units that have condensation drain lines must waste indirectly to the sewer through a
floor drain, hub drain, or other approved waste water receptacle.
FOOD STORAGE, DISPLAY, AND SERVING
If there will be self - service, please contact this office for additional information and requirements.
All food or food items in the facility which are within customer reach and are not prepackaged must
be protected from customer contamination by a sneeze shield or other approved means. Please see

provide designated facilities (such as hooks, cupboards, or lockers) that provide adequate
storage for employees' personal items and are away from food service or storage.
All floor, wall, and ceiling surfaces must be smooth, durable, sealed, and easily cleanable.
Acoustical tiles are indicated for the food service preparation area. Washable ceiling tiles are
recommended. If ceiling tiles becomes soiled, and they cannot be cleaned, replacement will be

Gaps in floors, doors, walls, or ceilings around plumbing or electrical work must be filled in to
prevent rodent and insect access and entrance. Exposed utility lines and pipes cannot be installed
horizontally on the floor.
All equipment must be installed so as to be moveable or properly sealed to facilitate proper
cleaning. Floor- mounted equipment, unless readily moveable, must be sealed to the floor, installed
