Box 2806 211 9t~ St. South Fargo, ND 58108 Dear Sirs/Madam: Prosper Farmers Elevator, of Prosper, ND, Chaffee-Lynchburg Farmers Elevator, of Lynchburg, ND, and AGP Grain, of Casselton, ND, are presently in the process of forming an LLC to better serve the local agriculture community. The yet to be mmaed LLC is planning to build a new grain terminal capable of loading 1 I0 rail cars (referred to in the industry as shuttle trains) at the existing AGP Grain facility located in Casselton. The plan for traffic flow for the new facility is to enter and exit from Highway 10 just west of the railroad underpass. The distance from the unload site of the new facility to Highway 10 is approximately 1/2 mile. We are cordially requesting your conside~tion to add this road to your existing County system as a spur. The project engineers we are working with have estimated approximately 17,000 macks per year using the road and with that amount of heavy use, an extra heavy coat of asphalt of concrete would tv needed to withstand the stress. We have been informed of some Federal Aid programs available for projects such as this and any additional information would be helpftfl. The projected time frame is to have the new facility fully operational in October of 2004, and if you have any further questions or need plans, please contact me at Prosper Farmers Elevator. Thank you for your expeditious consideration ofthi.q matter. Sincerely, Prosper Farmers Elevator 100 Raikoad Ave Harwood, ND 58042 701-2824094
