Utilities We have secured a bid from the City of Elk River for power to be brought to the site; the cost to C3 will be $12,000. The utility box will be located in the north east front corner of the property, outside the fence line. Solar - in 2018 we would like to explore solar power and the panels would be installed on the far south end of the property, Wind energy for individual tiny homes will be offered as an off grid solution for your customers and the turbine is installed on the hitch of the home and stands no taller than 16' when in place Storm water -& Well Septic The building will be designed to allow maximum rain collection for water used on site, holding tanks will be used. A well at this time is not planned unless we can't contain enough water. If a well is needed, permits would be requested from the City. A rain purification system with a 5 to 10K holding tank, this is currently being researched. I am not sure if the NPDES permit will be needed and the city will be consulted before any formal plans are made. Septic will be installed sometime in 2017, until then composting units will be used. Still working with Engineer on proper place to place septic tank. Fence - The entire site will be fenced with either an 8' or 10' tall wood fence, similar to the one Menards installs around their properties. The fence on the east side will run along the property line, the south and west side the current fence will be removed and the new fence will be installed. On the north side the fence will sit back off the road about 45' and have an 28' gated entrance. Complete details will be discussed with the with the City of ER after the January meeting. We will be installing about 1000' running ft of fence. Landscaping - The site has over 85 trees currently, about 15 trees on the southwest corner and west side will be trimmed and or removed to make way for the fence on the west side that runs through the wooded area. There are also several large evergreens in the front northwest corner and all will be left. The 45' area in front of the fence will be seeded or sod placed in the spring/summer 2017 following the building construction. We plan to add landscaping and shrubs around the sign in front, three maple trees to the east side of the property in a turf area. The area inside the fence will be class 5 were normal driving occurs and in the storage area. Grading and drainage plan - The natural slope of the property is to the south west corner and will not be changed, most of the water coming off the building will be
