As a direct result, the large manufacturers supporting this <br />industry, such as Polaris, Arctic Cat, Honda and BRP, are investing in the Elk River area as well as <br />ERX through corporate events and leased shop space for their factory teams. At least two of the <br />manufacturers have expressed interest in moving part, or all, of their corporate racing <br />operations to Elk River to gain improved access to ERX. <br />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 of this nature in the nation. During our meeting with city staff on July 28, 2016, ERX <br />indicated that we would like to offer overnight parking and camping to spectators for these <br />events. City staff indicated it wouldn't be a problem being it was only a couple times a year. In <br />August 2016, City Environmental Technician sent over the requirements from the MNDH for the <br />rules of special event camping. <br />Scope of Proiect/Proposal <br />Currently six buildings/structures are on the 43.7 acre site that also includes the off-road truck <br />track and regional Snocross track, (county map attached) including: <br />• A 624 square foot office <br />Page 3 <br />
