5. Shows/Events An important component to the program will be allowing students to showcase their talents. To this end it is anticipated there would be four shows held on the property per year. The shows would allow students to work toward a common goal as they develop and leverage their new skills. It is anticipated the events will draw family to support those competing. Attendance at these events would be free of charge and open to the community. 6. Boarding It is anticipated that a portion of participants may have the desire to continue to build on their new skills and develop a relationship with their own horse. Because of this, a limited number of spaces will be made available to those desiring to purchase a horse for themselves to stable at the facility. 7. Logistics The primary access to the property is from St Francis Blvd/Highway 47. Directly in front of the property is a two-lane road with a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Just to the north of the property, there is a turn lane and passing lane to access eastbound 179th Lane heading away from the property. South of the property there is a turn lane and passing lane for access to westbound 177th Lane. All of the surrounding properties consist of acreage lots in both Ramsey and Nowthen. Several streets are presently stubbed into the property: Southern Border: Potassium Street to the east and Sodium Street to the west Western Border: 179th Lane Northern Border: 183rd Avenue (Nowthen) 8. Access Due to the volume of traffic on Highway 47 and the concerns that arise as a result, it is proposed that the access for the new facilities would originate off of Potassium Street at the southern border. It is anticipated that traffic from students and trainers will be approximately 16 cars per day, spread out over four hour periods on high volume days with the exception of four annual events.
