Council approves final plat for Seat Cover Solutions expansion

MONTICELLO — Plans for a new Seat Cover Solutions warehouse and processing facility in Monticello's Otter Creek Business Park took another step forward Monday, Nov. 9, when the City Council approved the project's final plat and development agreement. The approval follows the council's Oct. 26 approval of a preliminary plat for the project, which calls for a 110,000-square-foot facility representing an investment of approximately $11 million. Seat Cover Solutions imports, sells and distributes custom-fit vehicle seat covers throughout the United States and internationally. The project was initially proposed as a 55,000-square-foot facility before plans were expanded to 110,000 square feet. The city currently owns the property and must consent to the development agreement. The developer will purchase the land after the final plat is recorded. The development agreement establishes the terms and conditions for the project, including required fees and financial securities. Final plat approval remains subject to the requirements and conditions established during preliminary plat approval.

Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible
