In 2016, Anderson Engineering performed wetland delineation on the rest of this property. All wetlands have been preserved in building the off -road truck track. Grading With the exception of the off -road truck track and the special event camping are, there will be no grading changes from the current state, at which time, ERX will apply for necessary permit(s). Camping As part of this CUP, per City staffs request, ERX is including unplatted Outlot A (PID: 75- 725 -0010) as a special events camping area. ERX will ensure all codes are met with the Minnesota Department of Health. "Special event recreational camping area" means a recreational camping area which operates no more than two times annually and for no more than 14 consecutive days. Economic Impact for the City of Elk River Athletes, sponsors, business owners, attendees and event planners come to Elk River, MN from all over the US, Canada and several Scandinavian countries to ERX Motor Park. As these individuals travel here for ERX, the Elk River area experiences a significant positive financial impact. The impacts are most significant during the winter snocross seasons as teams and athletes continue to call Elk River "home" in their attempts to locate near the ERX track. Teams support local businesses by utilizing local restaurants, hotels, municipal liquor stores, grocery stores and gas stations. During large ERX events, the Elk River community is filled with teams, families and spectators as they spend multiple days in the area participating in events at ERX. Since our inception, there's been a handful of families who have purchased land in the Elk River area to be closer to ERX, thus: 1) providing part-time housing for their family and team, 2) operating their respective business(es) and racing team operations), 3) leasing available space and 4) patronizing local businesses. - - -- — - - - -- - - - _ Page 6
