under the same conditional use permit. This would meet the 300' right of way requirement without dedicating 217th Avenue. Additionally, this also preserves 217th Avenue for Outlot A, for future development. By doing this, we will void the approved CUP (CU 16-15) on the 13.29 acre ERX site and transfer those conditions, for the ERX track, to this new permit. In a meeting with City staff on September 14, 2016, staff informed us the city attorney indicated it was allowable for ERX to include special event camping on Outlot A under this CUP application. At this time, special event permitting occurs twice a year, during our larger special events (i.e.: Red Bull events, Off-Road Truck Racing, etc). Since this land is not platted, ERX Properties would still be able to apply for additional special event permits until this land is developed. On December 19, 2017, ERX staff had a meeting with Tyffani Maresh with the MDH to develop a strategy for camping at ERX and to determine if we needed to offer a full campground, or if there was a way to offer other companies utilizing ERX to be able to apply for their own permits at ERX. It was determined that the Special Event Camping Area License (SECA) can be applied for by any organization and that the SECA license is not land-specific. This means that ERX Motor Park can utilize their two camping events twice per year, but if we choose to rent out the facility, as long as the company renting the facility applies for and is able to obtain a camping permit following all guidelines, that it would be allowed. ERX would like to move forward with this process. ERX Motor Park would also like to utilize land on property owned by Plaisted Companies (PID: 75-110-1105) for a SECA License during large events. Because of the incredible success of the events ERX has hosted thus far, we applied and obtained a CUP that would combine all track elements (off-road and snocross) on a single plat. During our meeting with City staff on September 14, 2016, it was indicated once approved, this would eliminate the need to apply for a special event permits in the future for our larger events that stay within land boundaries with the exception of our possible two events per year that would allow special event camping on Outlot A. Detailed Description From the very beginning, Mr. Plaisted and Mr. Carlson have implemented a few fundamental principles which have been consistently used to guide the organization through the years: • ERX will be family and community focused. o It will be a facility which will provide safe, family-friendly activities, with the ultimate goal of creating value within the local communities and within the powersports industry. • ERX will utilize an operating philosophy grounded in integrity, and benevolence and charitable activities will be a key part of the operation. o Free admission has been, and will continue to be offered to charities, ministries, schools and non-profits. ERX is proud to have partnered with a number of Page 2
