Rd 30 in Elk River, Minnesota. A proposed site plan is enclosed for reference. The facility will be a two-story building with a 160,000 total gross square footage footprint, included 45,000 SF on the second floor. The building will be used to house computers that are used to store and process data. Due to the high concentration of computer hardware, a portion of the building will be cooled by re-circulated cooling water. This use also requires a high demand for sanitary and ' electrical power. The proposed Data Center will have a relatively small number of employees; therefore, domestic utility consumption is minor. ' The proposed Data Center requires "will-serve" letters from utility providers as part of their operational analysis of a site. These letters are to list the specific utility requirements that can or cannot be met for each utility. Ryan Companies US, Inc. is responsible for determining the location, ' size and available capacities of existing services. We are also required to indicate all proposed city improvements, critical dates affecting development, cost sharing potentials, and cost efficient design ' alternatives. Additionally, we are trying to verify all required new easements and all existing easements that should be vacated. As the developer, Ryan Companies US, Inc. makes all of the preliminary arrangements for all permanent utilities. ' The general requirements are that all site utilities, except gas, are installed within 5 feet of the building wall at the locations designated on the building plan. Gas is installed within the building ' wall perimeter at the location designated on the Data Center building plan. All utilities with the exception of electrical power, will installed parallel to a building wall shall be not les than 10 feet from the face of the wall. The proposed Data Center makes all final connections from the building to the site utilities. 1 AZ LICENSE R00095146 CA LICENSE 500760 OR LICENSE CC0155932
