Seat Cover Solutions project takes another step forward

MONTICELLO — Plans for Seat Cover Solutions’ proposed $11 million headquarters and distribution center in Monticello took another step forward Oct. 26, as the City Council approved a preliminary plat for the development. The approval comes just two weeks after the council endorsed a revised state grant application for the fast-growing automotive accessories company, which recently doubled the size of its proposed facility from 55,000 to 110,000 square feet. The development is planned for approximately 11.6 acres in Otter Creek Business Park, where Seat Cover Solutions intends to consolidate its warehouse, distribution and office operations. The proposed building would include 18 loading docks and approximately 4,775 square feet of office space, with room for future office expansion. The facility is expected to accommodate approximately 40 employees. In a separate action Oct. 26, the council also approved removing existing drainage and utility easements to allow two parcels to be combined into one property for the development. Required easements will be reestablished as part of the new plat. The plans also call for a separate easement to protect an existing wood-chip trail connecting Chelsea Road to Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park.
