In the future, we anticipate constructing a monument sign on ERX Properties that would exceed <br /> 30 square feet of changeable copy. We are including a changeable copy sign in this CUP <br /> application. We will work with city staff and apply for any applicable sign permit(s). <br /> Utility Plan <br /> This property isn't currently in the Urban Service District therefore we don't require city <br /> services at this time. <br /> Wetland Delineation <br /> In 2016, Anderson Engineering performed wetland delineation on the rest of this property. All <br /> wetlands have been preserved. <br /> Grading <br /> With the exception of the off-road truck track and the special event camping area, there will be <br /> no grading changes from the current state, at which time, ERX will apply for necessary <br /> permit(s). <br /> Camping <br /> As part of this CUP, per City staff's request, ERX is including unplatted Outlot A (PID: 75-725- <br /> 0010) as a special events camping area. ERX will ensure all codes are met with the Minnesota <br /> Department of Health. "Special event recreational camping area" means a recreational <br /> camping area which operates no more than two times annually per event planning company <br /> and for no more than 14 consecutive days. <br /> Economic Impact for the City of Elk River <br /> Athletes, sponsors, business owners, attendees and event planners come to Elk River, MN from <br /> all over the US, Canada and several Scandinavian countries to ERX Motor Park. As these <br /> individuals travel here for ERX, the Elk River area experiences a significant positive financial <br /> impact. The impacts are most significant during the winter snocross seasons as teams and <br /> athletes continue to call Elk River "home" in their attempts to locate near the ERX track. Teams <br /> support local businesses by utilizing local restaurants, hotels, municipal liquor stores, grocery <br /> stores and gas stations. During large ERX events, the Elk River community is filled with teams, <br /> families and spectators as they spend multiple days in the area participating in events at ERX. <br /> Since our inception, there's been a handful of families who have purchased land in the Elk River <br /> area to be closer to ERX, thus: <br /> 1) providing part-time housing for their family and team, <br /> 2) operating their respective business(es) and racing team operations <br /> 3) leasing available space and <br /> 4) patronizing local businesses. <br /> Page 6 <br />
