Sutton Transport Narrative May 24, 2021 Parcel "B" Clearwater Business Park Sutton Transport, Inc. was founded on November 191", 1979 and is a privately -held LTL regional common carrier based in Weston, WI, whose focus is in interstate and intrastate transportation of general commodities. Sutton prides itself with superior service with a personal touch. Sutton Transport specializes in the following services: • LTL Trucking • Local Cartage • Full Truckloads • Lift Gate Delivery Service • Same Day Delivery Service • Nationwide Expedited Service Their fleet consists of a combination of over 200 tractors and 350 trailers and an employer to nearly 500 people. Currently Sutton Transport operates seven terminals throughout Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. Sutton's current facility in Maple Grove is inadequate for their planned growth. The Facility in Clearwater Creek Business Park will be a step to aid in expanding their business in Minnesota. Sutton Transport intends to purchase approximately 15 Acres of vacant land in the Clearwater Business Park and construct a new cross -dock truck terminal industrial warehouse facility. The facility would initially employ approximately 30 drivers and 8 office staff for dispatch and coordination requirements and 8 warehouse personnel to load and unload trucks. We would hope to grow the number of jobs by 10-20% annually in the next five years. The building area contemplated for Phase 1 ranges between 45,700 and 55,000 SF with a future greenspace growth area for a Phase 2 building addition. Phase 2 addition areas are anticipated to be between 20,860 and 16,500 SF. Grand total building area on either facility layout range between 66,560 to 71,560 SF. The facility operates approximately 5 days a week and 18 hours a day. Normal business hours are 4:00 AM to 10:OOPM with the bulk of the activity coming between 7:OOAM and 6:3013M. The exterior of the building will be smooth form faced loadbearing precast concrete panels having a clear height between 18-20FT. Total exterior building height would be between 21-23Ft depending on the final clear height selected. The office component would have 1" insulated glass set in painted aluminum frames. Landscaping would complement the site as required in the city code. The facility would also have an above ground diesel fuel tank and be located in the Southwest corner of the land site. Sutton looks forward to expanding into the Clearwater Business Park.
