Box 2806 <br />211 9th St. South <br />Fargo, ND 58108 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs/Madam: <br /> <br />Prosper Farmers Elevator, of Prosper, ND, Chaffee-Lynchburg Farmers Elevator, of <br />Lynchburg, ND, and AGP Grain, of Casselton, ND, are presently in the process of <br />forming an LLC to better serve the local agriculture community. The yet to be named <br />LLC is planning to build a new grain terminal capable of bading 110 rail cars (referred to <br />in the industry as shuttle trains) at the existing AGP Grain facility located in Casselton. <br /> <br />The plan for traffic flow for the new facility is to enter and exit f~om Highway 10 just <br />west of the railroad underpass. The distance fxom the unload site of the new facility to <br />Highway 10 is approximately 1/2 mile. We are cordially requesting your consideration to <br />add this road to your existing County system as a spur. The project engineers we are <br />working with have estimated approximately 17,000 trucks per year using the road and <br />with that amount of heavy use, an extra heavy coat of asphalt of concrete would be <br />needed to withstand the stress. We have been informed of some Federal Aid programs <br />available for projects such as this and any additional information would be helpful. <br /> <br />The projected time flame is to have the new facility fully Operational in October of 2004, <br />and if you have any further questions or need plans, pleas~ contact me at Prosper Farmers <br />Elevator. <br /> <br />Thank you for your expeditious consideration of this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Sid Mauch, manager <br />Prosper Farme~ rs Elevator <br />100 Railroad iAve <br />Harwood, ND 58042 <br />701-282-4094 <br /> <br /> <br />
