As a result, they <br />were required to apply for a CUP amendment, a plat, and an easement vacation to incorporate the expanded <br />track into their approved permit area. ERX received approval of the amendment, plat, and vacation in 2022 <br />but has continued operating the facility since 2018 without a recorded CUP amendment or plat as the <br />conditions of approval have not been satisfied — notably, the recording of the plat. <br />ERX submitted their plat for signatures in early February and picked it up a few weeks later. On March 21, <br />2025, staff reached out to inquire about the status of its recording but received no response. A follow-up <br />inquiry was made a week later on March 28, 2025, and noted that if the plat was not recorded, staff would <br />discuss possible revocation with the City Council on April 7, 2025. Without a response, a third attempt was <br />made on April 2, 2025, noting that a lack of response would result in a discussion with the City Council for <br />possible revocation. ERX did not respond to this final communication, nor did they notify staff that the plat <br />had been recorded. The plat is required to be recorded before the CUP can be recorded. <br />Staff are seeking direction on revocation or additional time to complete the required recordings. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Ethical, efficient, and responsible. <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community, with revolutionary and spirited resourcefidnm, exceptional service, and community P� d W E R E D 0d <br />engagement that encourager and inures pro perityA we <br />249 <br />
