We appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss our expansion. We recently were approached by our largest tenant, Home Care Pulse with concerns about room for expansion in office space as well as parking. Our parking lot is not currently used at full capacity, but with average growth if both our companies, that capacity is fast approaching. We began looking for options for additional parking and found that a property located at 145 E 2nd N was available for purchase. This property is the only property available with potential for future connectivity, and is the closest option that would provide the desired parking. We are requesting permission to use the area at the rear of the property located at 145 E 2nd N as shown to add an approved parking area to service our building at 137 N 2nd E. While the properties are not currently connected, they are in close proximity to one another. We hope to secure a piece of property separating the two properties, but the current owner is not willing to look at the property to further consider selling until April or May at the earliest. The property is already zoned for commercial use. Home Care Pulse is currently in the process of considering the renewal of their lease and if we are unable to provide this additional parking, they will be forced to move their business out of Rexburg in order to find the amount of space they need at a reasonable rate. They currently employ over 30 people and have plans to employ as many as 90 people by the end of the year. There is also an additional 1,800 square feet of unused space in our building that would be prime retail or office space to bring another business to town; however, there would be a need for the additional parking in order to attract another business to fill the space. We feel that this change would be a positive improvement not only for our property, but also for the city of Rexburg - in that it would keep a significant employer local and allow for further economic growth and additional job opportunities.
