EXCELSIOR BOULEVARD
Ms. Anderson reviewed the request for removing the hours of operation. Ms. Anderson stated
that there have been no complaints from the neighborhood since the day care opened. Osman
Ifrah, the applicant, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Ifrah explained that many of their
clients work retail, and they need longer hours in the evening to serve them. Many work until
10:00 p.m. Mr. Ifrah stated they do not now nor ever intend on being open 24 hours.
The Commission discussed why this business had hours of operation when no other day care has
hours of operation, nor any other businesses. The Commission noted that this business was close
to a neighborhood, but it was also discussed that churches have day care and churches are in
neighborhoods. Mr. Tait said he had not heard from those in opposition in the neighborhood
what the objection was to eliminating the hours of operation.
