Commissioners,
Please read through this email thread and review the attached letter
concerning the Taylor Corp annexation.
There were a couple of other questions that came up in the P&Z meeting that
I informed you all I would look into and get the answers for you.
First the question as to why we did not annex Valley Ag at this time. Answer is
that they are not yet an island and therefore we as the city do not have the
authority to force annexation until such time as they become an island.
When the Taylor Corp’s annexation is complete it will leave Valley Ag as an
island. The city plans to address that issue next.
The properties to the east on the other side of the Yellowstone Hwy are not
islands at this time.
Second question was why did 222 W 2nd N have to be re-zoned? The answer
is that the property does not have enough square footage to be in
compliance with the LDR2 zone requirements. By re-zoning to LDR3 it will
allow them to keep the duplex and be in compliance with zoning laws.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions or
concerns.
Thank you,
Natalie Powell

Natalie,
Here is the information I had sent over to Jason Greenfield at Artco back in August
regarding the annexation. The tax analysis is below as well, but the tax increase
netted against the utility savings would be right around that $20 K per year mark
not including personal property taxes if that even applies.
As mentioned we never heard back from Jason, even though we spoke to him on
the phone and delivered the attached information on this email thread.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Much Appreciated
Matt

Jason,
Thanks for calling back today.
As mentioned, we had attempted to reach the right person at Taylor Corp
and Scott Johnson had met with Eduardo Paredes at the local office here in
Rexburg. Eduardo had asked for the general information to forward onto his
Supervisor(s). We had also mailed the attached letter. Scott had not heard
anything back from Eduardo, so he called the 1-800 number and someone at
your corporate office investigated it and called us back with your contact
information.
The City proposes to annex your property located at 360 Stationary Road
where the business has been using city services for some time now (Those
services include sewer, road, traffic signal, etc). The property is also
surrounded significantly now by the city. The letter is attached. Keep in
mind that the dates will change. We are hoping to take the annexation
request from the City to the Planning and Zoning Commission on October
3rd. This would be the only public hearing anticipated. If recommended by
the Commission to annex, then it would go to the City Council for their
approval or denial on the 16th of October and follow up readings in our
November meetings.
As mentioned on the phone we would welcome a conversation with your
team, and I can coordinate that over a zoom call if you want to send us over
some dates and times of availability.
See my analysis below regarding the annexation.
When annexed you will no longer need to pay the higher utility cost for
sewer. Based on my estimation that should save close to $3,400 dollars per
year bringing the net increased cost to annex to about $20,000 per year. The
same percentage would likely apply to any taxes you are paying for personal
property, and you could reach out to the Madison County Assessor’s Office
to determine if there would be an additional cost there. Artco will also have
the option to pay to connect to water services if you choose to in the future
and your monthly billing would be at the normal or lower in-city rate if you
choose to connect.
Thanks
Matt

Eduardo,
This is Scott Johnson form the City of Rexburg. I met you a few weeks ago at your
Rexburg facility. I promised to send you information on annexation of the Taylor
Corp property into the City of Rexburg. I sent an email earlier, but wonder if I may
have misspelled your email. I apologize if you did not receive it.
Attached please find the Annexation letter. I have also asked our CFO to include
the chart below that shows estimates on the new property taxes.
We would like to have a conversation with your leadership this week if possible.
Please let me know when a good time is to set up a meeting with you and your
team.
Regards,
