The recommendation will be forwarded to the Eagan City Council for final action on Oct. 7.

City planner Ms. Thomas presented the request and said the applicant is proposing to locate the tanks in an existing service lot on the west side of the approximately 47.5-acre industrial site that contains an approximately 580,000-square-foot building. The tanks would be installed in October–November 2025 and would be enclosed by an ornamental black metal picket fence (8–10 feet tall). The tallest tank would be 27 feet; two others would be 15 feet. Because portions of the tanks would exceed the fence height, they will be partially visible from the right of way, but staff noted the tanks remain lower than the adjacent building elevation (about 30 feet).

Planner Thomas said the tanks and fencing meet the city’s standards for outdoor storage in an I-1 industrial district, and the proposed storage area does not affect pedestrian or vehicular movement or required parking beyond the removal of one of five stalls currently in that location. The tanks will sit on existing paved surface; no changes to stormwater or utilities are proposed. The staff report recommends conditions of approval; commissioners asked staff to ensure a planting plan restores tree cover lost in recent years (staff documented about 32 overstory trees removed along the right-of-way since 2015, likely due to emerald ash borer). Condition 6 in the staff report requires the applicant to submit a planting plan suitable to the city forester no later than Jan. 1, 2026, with the first phase implemented within one year of the CUP approval date.

Commissioners asked about the project’s origin. Secretary Wagner asked whether the tanks were prompted by regulatory action; staff and engineering representatives said the project was prompted by notification from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Metropolitan Council, and by observed corrosion in the city’s sanitary line along Eagandale Boulevard. Planner Thomas and engineering staff said the tanks and chemical treatment are intended to balance wastewater pH/character to be less corrosive to downstream pipes and to allow flow control from the bottling process before discharge to the city main.

Charlie Morris, director for Reyes Holdings (the holding company that owns Great Lakes Coca‑Cola Bottling), confirmed the tanks will treat wastewater from the bottling process before it enters city sanitary and noted the city is concurrently upgrading the sanitary sewer along Eagandale Boulevard.

Member Wagner moved to recommend approval with the 12 conditions listed in the staff report; Member Whitfield seconded. The motion passed 6-0. The recommendation will go to City Council on Oct. 7 for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Eagan - Advisory Planning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The Advisory Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend a conditional use permit for three outdoor tanks (two chemical, one wastewater equalization) at Great Lakes Coca‑Cola Bottling’s property at 2750 Eagandale Boulevard; staff will require a phased tree-replacement plan by Jan. 1, 2026.","taxTitle","Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota","taxId",8838,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458147,"Eagan planning commission recommends Club Car Wash at 2250 Cliff Road with reduced employee parking",1396,411000,1807000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5823539-4397a5bb934713ef9a5418e25116528c&start=411&end=1807","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5823539-4397a5bb934713ef9a5418e25116528c/thumbnail_411000.jpg","/articles/6458147/Eagan/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Eagan-planning-commission-recommends-Club-Car-Wash-at-2250-Cliff-Road-with-reduced-employee-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458147-0e7d9256e9f922776dc4a108e138d9ce/orig.mp4?Expires=1770950210&Signature=P4MFUHTf3kxT8x-Dwll9GjUrklGZ3DN1ebsGovB4kBGHogogq1lvOGBv6n81BvXp8yvjOxGn-o7xTRiqPuNcokjP5bNW9Twkb-i8Uj5p5DzR9T-s3rKbvN~agJLdbqxPpe1fQmM8VKzKPu9jFQDkYhbTtxLlL3qN5UoIzxmIvf8ErsRQUJKng8RncGPgDkI6mcVWsftHLrhPHFKaRZPyed3lJJTinV0O7olXpDcbme3LUv6v1A9zK4gW1r8ll~OHOexzJsFKCY3sgUMx3lf4F~F1IYHx5iyxIaP8kt9xYEVv84XzrWoM1xVpvHXBEBAXdGv7pgdWU~I8E1XGhxbRgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Advisory Planning Commission on Sept. 23 unanimously recommended approval of a planned-development amendment to allow a commercial Club Car Wash at 2250 Cliff Road, voting 6-0 to forward the application to the Eagan City Council with the conditions in the staff report and an amendment that reduces required employee parking to three stalls.

The commission’s recommendation covers redevelopment of an approximately 1.1-acre parcel that formerly contained a convenience store and gas station. City planning staff told the panel the site is guided for retail-commercial uses and that the proposed car wash is generally consistent with the land-use designation and nearby commercial development.

City planner Ms. Dusiak described the proposal’s key elements: a counterclockwise vehicle circulation with entrance on Slater Road, two queuing lanes that merge after the pay station to provide queuing for up to 21 vehicles, a single car-wash building on the southern portion of the lot, and two rows of vacuum stalls north of the building. The applicant proposes three employee parking stalls (including one accessible stall); Club Car Wash requested elimination of a staff condition that would add one additional stall and said an occupied vacuum stall could serve as overflow employee parking if needed. Ms. Dusiak noted the car wash hours would generally be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and that city code contains performance standards specific to commercial car washes, including requirements that wash doors be closed during operation when vehicles are not entering or exiting.

Traffic and queuing were central topics of the discussion. City engineer Mr. Perkey said the city’s trip-generation estimate for a gas-station convenience store at that location would be roughly 300 trip ends daily (about 150 vehicles during the peak hour), while a car wash of this type typically generates substantially less — “significantly less than about 80 trip ends,” he said, which equates to roughly 40 vehicles in the peak hour. The applicant’s engineer, Michael Lydig of Robert E. Lee & Associates, said Club Car Wash’s national data show about 70% of washes are subscription members and that his experience at other sites matches the national trip model. “They do have that membership style…which they see about 70% of their washes are members,” Lydig said.

The commission also reviewed site design issues raised in public comments included with the staff report: the proposed detached trash enclosure sits between the building and the right-of-way, a deviation from typical front-yard standards the applicant justified to allow trash-truck access while preserving landscaping. Staff recommended replacement of all on-site trees because existing trees are in poor condition; required tree mitigation calculates to six Category B trees and is included on the landscape plan. Because of the site’s history with an underground fuel tank, the planner noted stormwater infiltration is prohibited and water-quality treatment must be achieved through filtration measures; stormwater will flow to an underground detention system and then to the city storm sewer.

Commission members complimented staff’s packet and said they were satisfied that relevant code standards (landscaping, building materials, signage, setbacks and lighting) were met or could be addressed through conditions. Member Black moved to recommend approval with the amendment to require three parking stalls; Member Whitfield seconded. The motion passed 6-0. Chair and staff confirmed the item will be heard by the Eagan City Council on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

The recommendation is advisory; final approval will rest with the City Council, which will consider the staff conditions and the planning commission recommendation at its Oct. 7 meeting.","The Advisory Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of a planned-development amendment to allow a Club Car Wash on a 1.1-acre site at 2250 Cliff Road, with staff conditions and an amendment to limit employee parking to three stalls. The proposal advances to the City Council on Oct. 7.","actionData","errors"]
