4.2 Due North Car Wash:
A. Presentation by City Planner Licht.
B. Provide Feedback on a Planned Unit Development Concept Plan.
City Planner Licht presented the staff report. The applicant Mr. Cory Kampschroer from Due North Car
Wash agreed with the City Planner's report and was available to answer questions. Mr. Kampschroer
said they are locally owned and look forward to providing exceptional service and a great experience.
CM Dahl asked about the water quantity and the quality used. Mr. Kampschroer said 85% of the water
used is reclaimed and they only use fresh water on the final rinse which is reverse osmosis to soften the
water. They are currently working with the City of Monticello for their water usage and can provide
further details in the future.
CM Moores asked about the vehicle clearance. Mr. Kampschroer said they can wash any car up to 90"
tall. CM Moores asked about the technology. Mr. Kampschroer said they are investing into technology
to use less energy and be more green, additionally their dryers heat the drying room up to 130 degrees
and create less noise. City Planner said they can request information from the manufacturer to
demonstrate the noise. The hours of operation are typically 8am-8pm and could be modified for the
seasons, possibly 7am-9pm. Mayor Stockamp asked about the layout coming off Parsons Avenue. City
Planner Licht said they can work with the developer to align. Mayor Stockamp asked about the plaza
sign and who was responsible? City Planner Licht said this is an element in the Great River PUD; this is
an issue to look at closer with the developer as they most likely don't intend to fully fund and maintain.
The City Council agreed with the developer on the location of the plaza sign. CM Dahl asked to get
numbers from the other two carwashes in operation within the City. City Planner Licht said the City does
have the capacity and there are provisions to address any water concerns. CM Darkenwald asked about
the access, movement, and the land to the east? City Planner Licht noted the drawing presented is
schematic, the ponding is regional to develop all stormwater except the MPCA guidelines have changed
and stormwater basin will need to be added on the property. City Engineer Wagner said they may need
to do a different concept based on that information. Mayor Stockamp asked about the access at 85th
Street and Parsons Avenue. City Engineer Wagner said everything south of P&F Machining and
everything in between CSAH42 and Quaday Avenue yet to be build out; 85th Street and Parrish Avenue is
going to get busier over time, stacking was needed and originally set-up for full build out of the
development. City Planner Licht said the stacking direction came from Wright County; they would not
allow full access in that area. CM Goede said the difference with Due North Car Wash is the conveyer

belt and it saves on your tire rim; she commented on her experience at their location in Monticello. Mr.
Kampschroer said they are proposing additional features including a third lane at this location to process
the vehicles. City Planner Licht will include the City Council questions in the final report.

to the comments state in the Planning Report dated 14 June 2022, seconded by CM Goede.
