Oakdale Planning Commission Will Review Caribou Coffee Plans

At their meeting this week, commission members will review the site plans for a proposed Caribou Cofffee shop.

At their meeting on Thursday, June 7, the Oakdale Planning Commission will review the variance and site plans for a new Caribou Coffee shop. If all goes according to plan, Caribou Coffee will build their new shop at the former Kwik Stop gas station located at the intersection of Century Avenue and Highway 36.

According to Planning Commission documents, the coffee shop would be 1,706 square feet with a drive through lane and window. The empty gas station and all that goes with it would be removed to allow for the new construction.

Don Wozniak and Paul Maenner of MW Development will be present at the
meeting to review their site plan with commission members and answer questions. During their presentation, parking issues and coffee shop access will be addressed.

Caribou Coffee wants to include 13 parking stalls for its customers, which exceeds city ordinance requirements by four stalls, according to Planning Commission documents.

If the Planning Commission approves Caribou Coffee’s request, members will make a motion to recommend approval of the site plan, including the eight foot variance to the southern parking lot.
