Dear Tosh,
Environmental Health Division
After reviewing your plans with the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Health, and with the
policies of the Snohomish Health District, your plans for Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream have
been approved. The approval was based upon the plans, menu, and food flows submitted 02/15/2022
and 04/12/2022. Any changes to the plans, menu, and food flows without preapproval from the Health
District 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 $195.00 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. No food storage or preparation is allowed in the establishment prior to the preoperational inspection
and approval to open for business.
2. 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.
3. Baked goods and jams are received prepared from another permitted location. Baked goods are not
permitted to be prepared at this location at this time. Changes to methods of food preparation will
require prior approval from the Snohomish Health District.
4. Ice cream base is received commercially pasteurized. No cooking and cooling of ice cream base is
permitted at this location.
5. Outdoor seating will be offered at this location. Restrooms must remain accessible to the public
during all business hours.
6. No food preparation sink is indicated on the floor plan. Because of this, no produce preparation is
permitted in this establishment. Changes to methods of food preparation (i.e. produce rinsing,
draining cans, etc.) will require further plan review and the installation of a designated food
preparation sink. The sink must be NSF listed or equivalent, be indirectly drained, and have at least
one integral drainboard.
7. 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 -
compartment sink must be large enough to fit the largest item needing to be washed.
8. All food service equipment, both new and used, must be listed by the National Sanitation
Foundation (NSF) or equivalent for its intended use.
9. Plumbing must meet state and local codes.

After you have passed your preoperational inspection, the annual operating permit application and all
fees must be received by Snohomish Health District 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 Health District 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 Health District preoperational inspection, it may be subject to closure.
Changes or additions to the approved plans or equipment require pre -approval from the Snohomish
Health District prior to implementation of the changes.
A copy of the Snohomish Health District 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.
Sincerely,
Megan Myers
