NI ATUR]i Background /Discussion The property is zoned Extreme Commercial Recreation (XCR) where Off -Road Racing Facilities require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to combine and operate three Off- Road Racing Facilities (ERX track, TORC track, and go -kart track) into one 42.48 acre parcel. A preliminary plat application (Case # P 16 -19), to allow the operation of Off -Road Racing Facilities, was reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 22, 2016. The applicant received a CUP for the ERX track (CU 16 -15) on June 20, 2016 with eight conditions. This new CUP application will include the ERX Track and the eight approved conditions from CU 16 -15 are being included in the current CUP conditions (1 -8). With an approval of this CUP request, the previous approved CUP (CU 16 -15) will become void. The applicant also received a CUP (CU 16 -18) for Active Use Storage but that is located on a separate plat and is not included in this proposal. Analysis Comprehensive Plan The property currently has a land use designation of Highway Business /Mining. The Highway Business land use ranges from moderate to high intensity forms of commercial development in Elk River. Businesses in this category may be the largest both in terms of size and traffic generation while also providing services and convenience types of business. Market orientation tends to be regional in nature. Development orientation tends to be toward regional highways. Examples of Highway Business uses include discount retailers, grocery, restaurants, automotive sales and service, general merchandise, and professional services. The Gravel Mining Area Land Use, Transportation, and Utility Plan identifies the subject property as Highway Business and Low Density Residential. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Site There are currently several buildings/ structures on the 42.48 acre site: ■ 624 square foot office ■ 2,400 square foot shop ■ 15320 storage facility ■ 3,250 square foot facility ■ 240 square foot shed ■ Pedestrian catwalk /bridge ■ Two sets of spectator bleachers ■ ERX Track ■ TORC Track ■ Go -kart Track N:\ Departments \Community Development \Planning \Case files \CUP \CU 16-30 ERX 'Truck "Track \4 - Planning Commission \CU 16-30 sr PC 11- 22- 16.doc1 ERX Track Future track expansion plans include an addition to the existing chalet which would include bathrooms and concessions, as well as an additional storage shed. 'TTC1R C T t-a r-1 r Future track improvements include a two level announcing tower and a concession stand. A scoring shelter, grandstand bleachers, viewing structures on the east and south sides of the track, and storage shed will also be added to the TORC track area. In the meantime, the applicant will continue to utilize temporary /portable bleacher units. Go -kart Track Future track improvements include lighting and storage shed. An amendment to this CUP will be required for future expansions /additions not shown on the site plan dated September 26, 2016. Special Event Recreational Camping Area As part of this CUP request, the applicant, directed by city staff, is including a portion of Oudot A (75- 825 -0010) as a special events recreation camping area. Special Event Recreational Camping Area means a recreational camping area which operates no more than two times annually and for no more than 14 consecutive days. The applicant is requesting that the area shown on the site plan dated September 26, 2016 be allowed for Special Event Recreational Camping for no more than two times per year. This area has received the proper grading permits. Parking There are 260 parking stalls in the southern paved lot and 200 parking stalls in gravel lot south of the chalet. A total of 460 parking stalls are located on the subject property for spectators and participants/ sponsors. Parking requirements are one parking space per four expected patrons at capacity. With the site parking, this would only allow 1,840 patrons on the site at one time. There are over 500 parking spots located directly north adjacent to the subject property owned by the applicant (Carlson Motor Sports). Over 1,000 additional spots are also available approximately .25 miles to the northeast on property owned by Plaisted Companies (PID 75- 110 - 1105). The site plan indicates the various paving types throughout the subject property, all of which are acceptable materials for paving. Section 30- 901(a) states all driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. Due to past discussion and direction from the city council with CUP (CU 16 -15), staff is not recommending curb and gutter for this application. Transportation/ Circulation The site has two access points from Highway 169. All access before and during events for spectators and participants/ sponsors will occur at the 217th access. The southern access will only be for emergency purposes and exiting at the end of an event. MnDOT was provided the submitted information to review and the city has not received any comments from them. The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAR currently being prepared may detail necessary future roadway networks on the subject parcels. N:\ Departments \Community Development\ Planning\ Case Files \CUP \CU 16 -30 ERX Truck Track\ 4- Planning Commission \CU 16-30 sr PC 11- 22- 16.docx Utilities The subject property is not located in the Urban Service District. Although the current project does not require city services, some of the proposed permitted and conditional uses in the XCR district will require city services and this will have to be addressed in the future. This area, as shown in the Comprehensive Plan, is not anticipated to have city services until beyond 20 years. Hours of Operation Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. —10 p.m. Sunday 8:00 a.m. — 8 p.m. Grading /Drainage Current grading of the TORC track does not meet proposed Wetland Setback requirements and the proposed Drainage and Utility Easement. Landscaping Per ordinance, 170 trees are required for the subject property. The total number of required new trees may be offset by the retention of existing trees on the lot, provided that such trees satisfy the requirements of Section 30 -934: Existing Tree Credit Chart Deciduous Tree Diameter Deciduous Tree Credit 2" to < 4 1 /2" One 1) 4 1/210 to < 8" Two 2 8" or more Three 3) Coniferous Tree Height Coniferous Tree Credit 6' to < 10' One 1 10' to < 15' Two 2) 15' or more Three 3) Staff visited the site and credit for 170 trees can apply to satisfying the landscaping requirements with existing trees. Signage There are two permanent signs on the property. One is approximately 4'x4' and 14' tall and the other sign is approximately 8'x8' and 15' tall. The XCR ordinance allows only one freestanding sign, not to exceed 150 square feet with a maximum height of 30 feet. One of the existing signs is a legal non- conforming sign. In the future, the applicant anticipates constructing a single monument sign on the subject property that would exceed 30 square feet of changeable copy. They are including a changeable copy sign exceeding 30 square feet with this CUP application. At the time this memo was drafted, the size and height being proposed and the approximate location on the site are not know. Staff has requested that information. Wetland In 2008, the city indicated the current pond on the ERX track is an incidental pond created from mining.

With a focus on family - friendly events and grassroots motorsports activities, ERX has been quickly embraced by motorsports enthusiasts of all kinds. ERX was created by Todd Plaisted and Chris Carlson, two Elk River businessmen who are long- time powersports enthusiasts. Plaisted and Carlson both enjoy participating in powersports activities with their families. They saw an opportunity to create a facility which would address this opportunity and provide value for the Elk River community. Their original intent was to provide a facility for snocross racing and training. Today ERX is a year -round complex hosting both snowmobile events in the winter and off -road truck, car, ATV and go -cart racing in the summer months. ERX hosts events for local and regional organizations and non - profits such as the Day of the Dozers event raising money for Children's Hospital and another fund raising concert event for the Three Rivers Community Foundation, which raises money for grants and scholarships in the Elk River and surrounding communities. Future uses may include concerts, product demonstrations, and endurance events such as "Tough Mudder" or "Running with the Bulls ". In June of 2008, ERX received an IUP to operate, and in July of 2015, to accommodate our long term vision, the city approved a new zoning district, XCR extreme commercial recreation. On April 5, 2016, Sportech staff met with Elk River Planning and Zoning staff to discuss ERX; during this meeting, staff asked us to submit a CUP for this site to continue operations at our current location, 21591 US Hwy 169 (PID: 75- 110 - 2405). In July of 2016, City Council approved a CUP for the original 13.29 acre parcel with conditions. In July of 2016, ERX platted another area to house our power shops. Looking ahead, we'd like to convert our truck track and go -cart track into permanent tracks. In September of 2016, ERX, City staff, and Anderson Engineering proposed a plan that would combine the 13.29 acre parcel, the go -kart track (portion of PID: 75- 825- 0040), and the new off- road truck track (portion of PID: 75- 825 -0010) onto the same plat and under the same conditional use permit. This would meet the 300' right of way requirement without dedicating 217th Avenue. Additionally, this also preserves 217th Avenue for Outlot A, for future development. By doing this, we will void the approved CUP (CU 16 -15) on the 13.29 acre ERX site and transfer those conditions, for the ERX track, to this new permit. In a meeting with City staff on September 14, 2016, staff informed us the City attorney indicated it was allowable for ERX to include special event camping on Outlot A under this CUP application. At this time, special event permitting occurs twice a year, during our larger special events (i.e.: Red Bull, Torc, etc). Since this land is not platted, ERX Properties would still be able to apply for additional special event permits until this land is developed. Because of the incredible success of the events ERX has hosted thus far, we are applying for a CUP that would combine all track elements (off -road, snocross,and go -cart) on a single plat. During our meeting with City staff on September 14, 2016, it was indicated once approved, this would eliminate the need to apply for a special event permits in the future for our larger events that stay within land boundaries with the exception of our possible two events per year that would allow special event camping on Outlot A. Detailed Description From the very beginning, Mr. Plaisted and Mr. Carlson have implemented a few fundamental principles which have been consistently used to guide the organization through the years. • ERX will be family and community focused. It will be a facility which will provide safe, family friendly activities, with the ultimate goal of creating value with the local communities and within the powersports industry. • ERX will utilize an operating philosophy grounded in integrity, and benevolence and charitable activities will be a key part of the operation. Free admission has been, and will continue to be offered to charities, ministries, schools and non - profits. ERX is proud to have partnered with a number of outstanding non - profit organizations through the years, including but not limited to Big Brothers and Big Sisters, MN Adult and Teen Challenge, Boys and Girls Club of MN and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Most recently, ERX has donated the use of their property to the YMCA of MN for their summer youth motorcycle training program, the "National Youth Project Using Minibikes (NYPUM) ". • ERX will encourage development. Since the beginning, ERX has hosted events designed to promote improved skills and safety. These events, and much more, include ERX Learn To Ride Clinics, Motocross Clinics, YMCA Youth Motorcycle training, Avalanche Awareness Classes, Youth Snowmobile Safety Training, Day of the Dozers, and concerts for the Three Rivers Community Foundation. Brief overview of vision ERX is recognized as the top testing and development facility in the country for amateur and professional snocross racers. As a direct result, the large OEM supporting this industry, such as Polaris, Arctic Cat, and BRP, are investing in the Elk River area as well through leased lodging and shop space for their factory teams. At least two of the OEMs have expressed interest in moving part, or all, of their corporate racing operations to Elk River to gain improved access to ERX. - -- - -- -- - - - - - -- - -- - -- - -- Page 2 ERX has built a national caliber off -road truck track that has been quoted by Professional drivers as being the "most fun they have had racing, ever". ERX strives to become the number one track in the nation. During our meeting with city staff on July 28, 2016, ERX indicated that we would like to offer overnight parking and camping to spectators for these events. City staff indicated it wouldn't be a problem seeing, as it was only a couple times a year. In August, City Environmental Technician sent over the requirements from the MNDH for the rules of special event camping. Scope of Project /Proposal Currently five buildings /structures are on the 43.7 acre site, off -road truck track, go -cart track, snocross track, (county map attached) including: • A 624 square foot office • A 2,400 square foot shop • A 1,320 storage facility • A 3,250 square foot facility (chalet) • A 240 square foot shed Future facility expansion plans include an addition to the existing ERX Chalet which would house bathrooms and concessions, as well as an additional storage shed. Future improvements near the off -road truck track include a two level announcing tower which would house an announcing booth on the upper level, and a concession stand on the lower level. A scoring shelter, grandstand bleachers, a semi - permanent viewing structure on the east side of the track and on the south side of the track, and a storage shed will also be added to the off -road truck track area. In the meantime, we will continue to utilize temporary/portable bleacher units. Future improvements on the go -kart track include lighting and storage shed. The 13.29 acre site has been operating as ERX since 2008 and has served as a feeder system to ISOC, the national snocross series. Riders who were introduced to the sport of snocross at ERX are now winning national championships and are recognized as some of the best emerging racers in the world. As a direct result, ERX is quickly acquiring a reputation as a facility which develops and builds future champions. In the spring of 2016, the ERX team built an off -road truck track which, in July of 2016, ERX hosted stops 7 and 8 on the national TORC (The Off -Road Championship) circuit. In the future, we would like to hold two off -road truck events per year and have teams come out for occasional testing. - - - - - - -- - -- -- -- - - -- - -- - - - -- - Page 3 Because of the success of that event we are applying for a CUP for the off -road truck track to continue operations at this location, in conjunction with all other applicable land use applications deemed applicable by city staff at our meeting on July 28, 2016 (i.e.: Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, etc.). In addition providing a safe, yet challenging track for testing and training, ERX provides the following events on a regular basis: 1. ERX Grassroots Snocross Series This series will be entering its 9th year this year, and is hosted on Thursday nights, focusing on first -time, amateur and youth racers. The largest classes are youth oriented, and the largest specific groups of racers are the 120cc class, which features riders from ages 4 to 12 years old. Competitors follow the six race series with hopes of capturing the ERX Season Points Championship. We have racers traveling from Ontario, Manitoba, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio. Average attendance for this race is approximately 1,000 people; we don't anticipate attendance to ever exceed 1,500 people. 2. Summer Beater -X Series This series features compact cars, light trucks, ATVs and UTVs competing on an all -dirt track. The track layout consists of rolling jumps, elevation changes, tight corners and provides an exciting and challenging extreme form of racing, with a focus on low - budget racing for amateurs and first -time racers. 3. Friday Night Go -Kart Races This is the 2nd year of go -kart racing. This track is a small oval track, directly to the east of the main ERX track, which is rented by 169 Speedway and offers families a chance to experience the first steps of racing. Future off -road racing events at ERX could include grassroots off -road truck racing, regional off - road truck racing, and motocross racing. We are currently working in conjunction with City staff and Anderson Engineering on the EAW process as required by the city; this is in part triggered by our anticipation of hosting event in the future which would exceed 5,000 participants. To date, the largest attendance at any of our events was approximately 4,500 peek attendance. We anticipate future off -road truck races and larger extreme snocross races to exceed 5,000 participants and spectators. In the event we were to consider hosting an event on this site which would exceed 19,999 peek participant and spectator attendance, we will work with the city to ensure all necessary requirements are put into place prior to the event. Hours of Operation - -- - - -- -- -- - - -- -- - - -- - - - - - -- Page 4 Monday through Saturday lam to 10pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm Number of Employees There is currently no full -time staff employed by ERX. ERX is currently operated with community volunteers and employees from Plaisted Companies, Sportech and Carlson Motorsports. Traffic Traffic and other key elements will be addressed in further detail upon our completed EAW (anticipated to be completed December 2016). Based on the findings, ERX will work with MnDOT and City staff to ensure safe entrance and exit with Hwy 169. Number of Parkine Stalls (existine & additional) There are 260 parking stalls on the upper paved lot, and 200 parking stalls on the bottom lot near the ERX chalet. We also have over 500 parking spots located directly adjacent to ERX on property owned by Envision (Carlson Family, PID: 75- 833 - 0105). Over 1,000 additional spots are also available approximately 0.25 miles to the NE on property owned by Plaisted Companies (PID: 75- 110 - 0105). Sianne /Outdoor Storage There are two permanent signs on the property. One of the signs is 14 foot high by 4 foot wide. The other sign is 15 foot high by 8 foot wide. ERX will have event sponsor signs up during and in between events. ERX will comply with all city codes set forth in the Elk River Zoning Ordinance. In the future, we anticipate constructing a monument sign on ERX Properties that would exceed 30 square feet of changeable copy. We are including a changeable copy sign in this CUP application. We will work with city staff and apply for any applicable sign permit(s). Utility Plan This property isn't currently in the Urban Service District therefore we don't require city services at this time. Wetland Delineation In 2008, Todd Plaisted had a conversation with Rebecca Haug, the Environmental Administrator with the City of Elk River. Rebecca stated that the current pond that is on the main ERX track is an incidental pond created from mining. In 2010, Anderson Engineering performed a Wetland Delineation on the go -kart track, at that time Rebecca Haug was copied on the documentation of the report that stated this was an incidental pond and not regulated by Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. -- - - -- - -- - - - -- - -- - - - - - --- - - - - -- - -- Page S In 2016, Anderson Engineering performed wetland delineation on the rest of this property. All wetlands have been preserved in building the off -road truck track. Grading With the exception of the off -road truck track and the special event camping are, there will be no grading changes from the current state, at which time, ERX will apply for necessary permit(s). Camping As part of this CUP, per City staffs request, ERX is including unplatted Outlot A (PID: 75- 725 -0010) as a special events camping area. ERX will ensure all codes are met with the Minnesota Department of Health. "Special event recreational camping area" means a recreational camping area which operates no more than two times annually and for no more than 14 consecutive days. Economic Impact for the City of Elk River Athletes, sponsors, business owners, attendees and event planners come to Elk River, MN from all over the US, Canada and several Scandinavian countries to ERX Motor Park. As these individuals travel here for ERX, the Elk River area experiences a significant positive financial impact. The impacts are most significant during the winter snocross seasons as teams and athletes continue to call Elk River "home" in their attempts to locate near the ERX track. Teams support local businesses by utilizing local restaurants, hotels, municipal liquor stores, grocery stores and gas stations. During large ERX events, the Elk River community is filled with teams, families and spectators as they spend multiple days in the area participating in events at ERX. Since our inception, there's been a handful of families who have purchased land in the Elk River area to be closer to ERX, thus: 1) providing part-time housing for their family and team, 2) operating their respective business(es) and racing team operations), 3) leasing available space and 4) patronizing local businesses. - - -- — - - - -- - - - _ Page 6 EXISTING STRUCTURES O Carlson Motorsports ® The Chalet ® Storage Shed PROPOSED O Potential Expansion (D Storage Shed 4 Announcing Tower O Grandstand Bleachers ® Scoring Tower O VIP Spectating N 8 Special Event Recreational W Camping Area s Outlot A vC I Go -Kart ':'3 Track Site Plan - Sept 26, 2016 !� SITE, GRADING, DRAINAGE, € EROSION CONTROL PLAN G � t�- I r \� �\ f h IF NO t < 1 1 G \ J Z - _.
