Planning Commission Page 5 April 26, 2022 ----------------------------- Mr. Leeseberg stated neither MnDOT or law enforcement have informed the city of any events or concerns. Commissioner Rydberg proposed striking Condition 6 and allowing MnDOT to decide future access points with ERX. Chair Larson-Vito and Commissioner Booth concurred. Chair Larson-Vito asked about the sign size. Mr. Leeseberg indicated he had spoked with Ms. Goodin earlier in the day and clarified the Planning Commission is not approving the look or size of the sign, just the size of the changeable copy. Commissioner Mauren asked about the future of urban services in the area. Mr. Carlton stated the city is currently doing a service area expansion study in the northeast area of the expanded urban service district, which does not include these properties. Moved by Commissioner Rydberg and seconded by Commissioner Beise to recommend approval of the request by Elk River Extreme Motor Park for a Conditional Use Permit to facilitate track expansion and to construct a roofed viewing deck at 21591 US Highway 169 with the following conditions: 1.
