Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Ms. Moore:
The Washington County Department of Health and Human Services has obtained the plans for the
proposed Quizno's Subs #2149 to be located at 11705 SW Pacific Highway, Suite N
in, Oregon. It is our understanding that community water and community sewer will be utilized at
this structure. The following is understood to be planned with necessary changes and conditions for
approval noted:
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
1) The plans show a three - compartment sink for washing, rinsing and sanitizing utensils. Each
compartment of the three - compartment sink unit must be large enough to totally submerse your
largest multi -use utensil. The plans show one drainboard on each side of the three- compartment
sink. Two drainboards are required. One drainboard must be designated for soiled utensils and
the other for clean utensils. An accurate test kit is required to test sanitizer concentration in the
third compartment of your sink. These sinks are not to be used for handwashing.
2) The plans show a food preparation sink located in the front food preparation area.
Please be aware that this sink can not be utilized for noncompatible uses such as handwashing
or mop washing. This sink is shown wasting indirectly to a floor sink.
3) The plans show a utility mop sink. Please supply a mop - hanging device so mops and similar
floor cleaning equipment can be cleaned and hung between uses.
4) If you plan to install an automatic chemical dispensing system at your three - compartment sink
or mop sink, please contact the local plumbing authority for information on the proper back
flow device needed to ensure that the fresh water supply is protected from chemical backflow.
5) A handsink must be designated in each of the food or drink preparation and food or drink
dispensing areas. A handsink is shown in the front service area. The revised floor plan
submitted on 3/21/02 shows an additional handsink in the rear . dishwashing area.

6) All handwashing sinks including the restroom handsinks must be equipped with dispensed soap
and dispensed sanitary towels or approved hand -drying devices. The handwashing sinks must
be equipped with hot and cold tempered water. If self - closing, slow - closing, or metered faucets
will be used, they must be designed to provide a flow of water for at least 15 seconds without
the need to reactivate the faucet.
7) It is understood that there will be no changes to seating or the restrooms. The restrooms must
meet all the requirements as described in the 1987 Oregon Food Sanitation Rules for design,
construction and operation. Be aware that restroom doors must self -close and that there must be
at least one covered waste receptacle in the women's restroom. Please consult the local Building
Department for information on the ratio of toilets, urinals and handsinks required for your
planned occupancy.
8) Ice machines, ice bins, food preparation sinks, and any other piece of equipment utilized to hold
food or ice in that is equipped with a drain must waste indirectly into a floor sink or floor drain.
Where air gaps are required, the distance between the bottom of the waste pipe and the top of
the floor sink or drain must be at least one inch or two waste pipe diameters, whichever is
greater.
9) Any refrigeration unit which does not come equipped with an evaporator pan for its liquid
wastes must have its liquid wastes drain indirectly to a floor drain or floor sink.

maintenance.
11) All floor, wall and ceiling surfaces must be smooth, durable, sealed and easily cleanable. Any
areas that are worn or damaged must be repaired. Where walls and ceilings are painted, high
gloss paint is recommended. It is also highly recommended that walls behind cooking
equipment, dishwashing equipment, and the mop sink be covered with durable, washable
backsplash.
12) If acoustical ceiling tiles are utilized and they become soiled and can not be cleaned, then
replacement will be required. A washable ceiling surface is recommended for food preparation
and cooking areas.
13) Self - service salad/condiment areas must have a smooth, nonabsorbent floor covering such as
vinyl, tile or the equivalent extending out 30 inches on each side to which the public has access.

refuse containers and must be kept clean. Garbage and refuse containers, dumpsters and
compactor systems located outside must be stored on or above a hard, nonabsorbent surface
such as cement or machine -laid asphalt that is kept clean and maintained in good repair.
23) You will need to conform with the Oregon's Smokefree Workplace Law. For your
convenience, a copy of this Rule is enclosed.
24) The local plumbing authority may require a grease trap or interceptor be installed. If a grease
