Planning Manager Larson replied that the conditions are included in the draft resolution. Motion by Commissioner Musgrove, seconded by Commissioner Rudack, to recommend City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit for commercial indoor recreation at 8500 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW, Suite 100. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Gengler, Commissioners Musgrove, Anderson, Bauer, and Lubarski. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner VanScoy. 6.03: Public Hearing: Consider a Conditional Use Permit for a Motor Fuel Station and Car Wash for Kwik Trip at 8040 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW Public Hearing Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:42 p.m. Presentation City Planner Martin presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Items discussed within the staff report include an explanation of the Final Plat and Easement Vacation that were previously approved by City Council, multi -modal access to the site, parking, signage, the traffic pattern for the car wash, the dedicated loading space for semi -trucks, various site amenities, and building architecture. Commissioner Rudack asked if there are already drainage ponds adequately equipped to manage the hardcover or whether additional ponds would be constructed. City Planner Martin replied that the applicant designed the ponds adequately, and the site is large enough that it would need review of the stormwater plans by the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. Commissioner Musgrove asked if the ponds accommodate both lots. City Planner Martin replied that they are only focused on the Kwik Trip lot, and those ponds were designed for just this site. He commented that future development on the second lot would need to provide its own stormwater management. Citizen Innut Dean George, representing the applicant, commented that this is a straightforward development of the Gen Three model, which is a quality product with a cleaner look on the interior. He commented that this would serve the industrial area well. He stated that at any given hour, they have about 14 employees on staff, which, along with their customers, is why they desire additional parking than what would be required. He commented that there are two ponds at the rear of the site, as the fuel island requires its own separate drainage and treatment. Planning Commission/ May 22, 2025 Page 6 of 13
