ERX has built a national caliber off -road truck track that has been quoted by Professional drivers <br />as being the "most fun they have had racing, ever". ERX strives to become the number one <br />track in the nation. During our meeting with city staff on July 28, 2016, ERX indicated that we <br />would like to offer overnight parking and camping to spectators for these events. City staff <br />indicated it wouldn't be a problem seeing, as it was only a couple times a year. In August, City <br />Environmental Technician sent over the requirements from the MNDH for the rules of special <br />event camping. <br />Scope of Project /Proposal <br />Currently five buildings /structures are on the 43.7 acre site, off -road truck track, go -cart track, <br />snocross track, (county map attached) including: <br />• A 624 square foot office <br />• A 2,400 square foot shop <br />• A 1,320 storage facility <br />• A 3,250 square foot facility (chalet) <br />• A 240 square foot shed <br />Future facility expansion plans include an addition to the existing ERX Chalet which would <br />house bathrooms and concessions, as well as an additional storage shed. <br />Future improvements near the off -road truck track include a two level announcing tower which <br />would house an announcing booth on the upper level, and a concession stand on the lower <br />level. A scoring shelter, grandstand bleachers, a semi - permanent viewing structure on the east <br />side of the track and on the south side of the track, and a storage shed will also be added to the <br />off -road truck track area. In the meantime, we will continue to utilize temporary/portable <br />bleacher units. <br />Future improvements on the go -kart track include lighting and storage shed. <br />The 13.29 acre site has been operating as ERX since 2008 and has served as a feeder system to <br />ISOC, the national snocross series. Riders who were introduced to the sport of snocross at ERX <br />are now winning national championships and are recognized as some of the best emerging <br />racers in the world. As a direct result, ERX is quickly acquiring a reputation as a facility which <br />develops and builds future champions. <br />In the spring of 2016, the ERX team built an off -road truck track which, in July of 2016, ERX <br />hosted stops 7 and 8 on the national TORC (The Off -Road Championship) circuit. In the future, <br />we would like to hold two off -road truck events per year and have teams come out for <br />occasional testing. <br />- - - - - - -- - -- -- -- - - -- - -- - - - -- - Page 3 <br />
