<br /> <br /> <br />Memo of Response <br /> <br />Background <br />On Tuesday, May 22, 2018 during the City of Elk River Planning Commission meeting neighbors <br />of ERX Motor Park expressed concerns regarding the facility. This is memo is in response to <br />those comments made. <br /> <br />Camping <br />All spectator camping will occur in the two lots to the north of the tracks (PID: 75-725-0010 – <br />Outlot A and PID: 75-110-0105 – Plaisted Company Property). On the map these areas are the <br />furthest away from the new 80-acre parcel (PID: 75-110-4400) purchased in the fall of 2016. <br /> <br />ERX Motor Park will utilize the new 80-acre parcel (PID: 75-110-440) for racer pit spots. Pit <br />spots are where drivers and their crew will work on their vehicles. We will continue to use this <br />area as a pit location. <br /> <br />For all camping ERX follows the Minnesota Department of Health guidelines on sewage, waste, <br />and public health related items. <br /> <br />Security <br />As outlined in the ERX Safety Plan on file with the City of Elk River, we will utilize our onsite <br />security at all of our events and will continue to work with the Elk River Police Department as <br />required by the Safety Plan. This spectator safety plan on file with the City of Elk River and is <br />updated yearly as part of our Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />In the event a third party should rent the facility the third party will work with ERX staff to <br />adhere to all safety and security plans as outlined in the Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />Environmental <br />ERX Motor Park has gone through a Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental clean up of <br />approximately 160-acres of property to bring it back to a healthy state from previous owners. <br />We have also performed one wetland delineation on the property to bring the wetlands back <br />into compliance from previous ownership. To eliminate future contamination, we have built in <br />sediment ponds to filter any waters going into the wetlands. <br /> <br />ERX Motor Park recycles all used oil that is onsite. We are also the only facility on the off -road <br />circuit that provides oil barrels for racers to discard used oil, these barrels are monitored <br />regularly, once an event is complete the oil is then recycled. <br />Date Received: 6-20-2018
