The <br />amendment added 14 additional conditions to the existing Planned Unit Development to address <br />existing traffic and pedestrian safety issues based on the findings contained within the study report, <br />an evaluation of existing site conditions, and the Planned Unit Development Agreement. <br /> <br />The Applicant originally proposed two separate phases of traffic and pedestrian safety <br />improvements for Lake Valentine Road. Phase 1 safety improvements, installed in 2020, included <br />installation of a pedestrian traffic signal system, crosswalk markings, temporary painted center <br />median, curb ramps and sidewalk pedestrian routes to the front of the school. <br /> <br />The Phase 2 traffic and pedestrian safety improvements were scheduled for construction in 2021 <br />in order to allow the School District to acquire additional property from the State of Minnesota. <br />This additional property would allow the relocation of the west entrance to the north parking lot <br />to align with the drop-off/pick-up lot on the south side of Lake Valentine Road. Additional <br />improvements include construction of a center median at the crosswalk, modifications to the south <br />boundary of the north parking lot, and the construction of dedicated right turn lanes for westbound
