<br />ICE <br />~ <br /> <br />March 6, 2002 <br /> <br />Cass County Road Advisory Board <br />Cass County Commission <br /> <br />Ice Crystal Engineering, LLC owns and operates it's business at the Paul Schroeder farm <br />site 2 miles west of Davenport on COllllty road #16 and 1 mile south. <br /> <br />We mannfacture pyrotechoic flares for cloud seeding and sell our prodnct throughout the <br />world. We therefore hove many visitors that tour our facility from foreign countries as <br />well as the states. <br /> <br />Because we are a manufacturing company there is a lot of truck traffic thot is reqnired to <br />get onr raw product to the facility and the finished product out. <br /> <br />We employ 15 to 20 people at our facility that connnutefrom the surronoding area. This <br />inclndes the comnnmities of Fargo, Walcott, Leonard, Davenport, Oxbow, and Kindred. <br /> <br />On many occasions we find that the road presents a hazard to our employees when <br />connnuting in the winter months. The road will become soft and rutted wbich makes it <br />impassable at times for some of the employees that commute in smaller vebicles. We <br />have hod to fullow them with four-wheel drive vebicles until they get to paved portion of <br />the road that starts at Davenport to insure that they can get back and forth to work. We <br />believe that a bard surface road would not only benefit our company bnt also the <br />surronnding commnnities as well. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/..,::...__.-~- <br /> <br />Jim Gunkelman <br />President <br /> <br />15985 49th f-i Si;n:!et S.E e DilvF!nport.
