SUBJECT: CASE NO. SUP-80-00/Child Care Center
APPLICANT: Naomi Kay Rush
It is understood that this proposed project is being reviewed for a Special Use Permit in order to
occupy a former educational building, located at 4515 E. Ustick Road, and operate it as a Day Care
Center.
I have already been contacted by the applicant and performed a preliminary State Fire Marshal's
Inspection for Day Care Center at the proposed site. Attached is a copy of my correspondence of
conditions required by the CFD in order to open and operate such a facility at that location.
This proposed project is supported by the Fire Marshal as a potentially good use of a currently
empty building.
If there are concerns or questions regarding any of these conditions please contact us for
explanation or assistance.
