City of Rexburg
Attn: City Clerk
35 N. 1S' East, Rexburg, Idaho
To Whom It May Concern:
We are in receipt of your correspondence related to proposed improvements adjoining the
Sonic Drive -In located in Rexburg.
As you are aware, we have made a significant investment in the Rexburg Sonic Drive -In in
converting it from the previously operated restaurant. This has included improved
landscaping, site -work, signage and significant improvements to the interior and exterior of
the building. We feel that these improvements have also benefitted the look of this major
artery in Rexburg. Unfortunately, after just opening 2 years ago, we have of course not
even come close to recovering our significant renovation costs. And at this same time, to
have increased costs associated with sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements imposed by
the City would be a significant financial burden.
Beyond this, although I do not live personally in Rexburg, I am there frequently associated
with the management of our business there and I can attest to the fact that there is
virtually no foot traffic on either side of the street that borders the south of our property.
We would like to submit our strong objection to these significant and costly improvements
and the costs associated with them being passed to local businesses.
Sincerely,
Rick Timmons
President, Neighborhood Sonic
