After reviewing your plans with the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Health, and with the
policies of the Snohomish County Health Department, your plans for II Viale Bar & Espresso have
been approved. The approval was based upon the plans, menu, and food flows submitted 11/08/2022,
1/13/2023, and 1/17/2023. Any changes to the plans, menu, and food flows without preapproval from
the Health Department will void this approval.
A preoperational inspection is required prior to operating permit issuance and approval to open
for business. At the time of inspection, the construction of the food service establishment must be
complete and all equipment must be in place and in proper operating condition. Incomplete construction
or equipment operation will result in a $205.00 re -inspection fee. Contact the Food Program office a
minimum of one week in advance to schedule an appointment for the preoperational inspection. Please
review the following requirements and conditions of operation before scheduling:
1. A copy of the Washington State business license must be provided prior to scheduling the
preoperational inspection.
2. No food storage or preparation is allowed in the establishment prior to the preoperational inspection
and approval to open for business.
3. If deficiencies are observed with your operation that may cause an unnecessary risk to public
health, you may be required to comply with corrective actions by a given due date, regardless of
any approval previously given. This includes, but is not limited to, substitutions or additions to
refrigeration, limiting your menu, or modifying your food handling processes.
4. Food handling practices, standard procedures and food safety knowledge will be assessed during
subsequent routine inspections. It is the business owner's responsibility to ensure compliance of all
food workers and food handling procedures with the provisions of WAC 246-215 and the policies of
the Snohomish County Health Department.
5. The approved menu for this facility involves preparing coffee drinks, cocktails, and panini-style
sandwiches from commercially precooked and prepackaged ingredients for immediate service to
the customer. Cooling of heated foods is not permitted at this time. Any significant changes to the
menu, methods of food preparation, style of service, or to the layout of the facility (e.g.,
removing/adding sinks) will require prior approval from the Snohomish County Health Department.
6. Only one piece of equipment, the panini press, is approved for heating and serving of food items for
immediate service. Changes to the menu may require the facility to add additional cooking, heating,
and/or hot holding equipment.
7. Two food preparation sinks are indicated on the floor plan. At least one food preparation sink must
be designated for produce rinsing and preparation only. Handling and preparation of raw meats is
not permitted at this time. Both food preparation sinks must be NSF listed or equivalent, be
indirectly drained, and have at least one integral drainboard.

8. No food preparation sink was observed in the bar or cafe area. All produce used for food items and
drink garnishes must be rinsed in the designated produce preparation sink in the pantry prior to
transporting to the bar or cafe area. The dump sinks in the bar and cafe areas may not be utilized
for produce rinsing or garnish preparation.

the from the main bar and cafe areas. Food items that are moved from the walk-in refrigerator and
ice machine to the bar and cafe areas must be transported in sealed, covered, food -grade

10. No freezers are indicated on the floor plan. Refrigerated, Ready -To -Eat, Time/Temperature Control
for Safety food prepared and packaged by a food processing plant, if held for more than twenty-four
hours, must be clearly marked at the time the original container is opened, to indicate the date or
day by which the food must be consumed on the premises, sold, or discarded, when held at a
temperature of 41IF (5°C) or less for a maximum of seven days. The day the original container is
opened is counted as day one. The day or date marked may not exceed a manufacturer's use -by
date if the manufacturer determined the use -by date based on food safety
11. Special food processing methods as defined by the Washington State Retail Food Code (WAC 246-
215.03535) are not permitted at this time. Changes to methods of food handling that fall under
these special processes will require prior review and approval of a HACCP plan with Snohomish
County Health Department.
12. Three -compartment sinks must have rounded corners and integral drainboards at both ends. The
drainboards of the three -compartment sink must be sloped to the basins. The basins of the three -

After you have passed your preoperational inspection, the annual operating permit application and all
fees must be received by Snohomish County Health Department prior to opening for business. This
facility will be classified as a medium -risk food establishment with 0-50 seats.
Your application for a food service establishment permit from the Snohomish County Health
Department may be approved during pre -operational inspection. However, it is the responsibility of
the food service establishment operator/owner to obtain all necessary permits and approvals
from all applicable agencies. Operating the establishment without required permits or approvals may
subject the operator/owner to legal action by the appropriate agencies. If the establishment is opened
without the Snohomish County Health Department preoperational inspection, it may be subject to
closure.
Changes or additions to the approved plans or equipment require pre -approval from the Snohomish
County Health Department prior to implementation of the changes.
A copy of the Snohomish County Health Department Appeals procedure is available upon
request. An administrative appeal must be initiated with 21 days from the date of this letter.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
