ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 17, 2021 5 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant would also like to see the concrete sidewalk. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recapped that they were good with parking, setback line, probably OK with <br />windows, concerns about building materials, and they’d like to see a concrete sidewalk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott added that he’d be thrilled to see a business relocate from downtown. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding parking spaces. <br /> <br />B. MVHS PUD Update/Crossing Light <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Kansier stated that Mounds View High School is asking for input on a <br />potential amendment to the Lake Valentine Road layout and to the timing of construction. A PUD <br />was approved in 2019, in order to develop property on the north side of Lake Valentine Road in <br />conjunction with the high school remodeling. Most of the parking was moved to the north <br />parking lot. There was a lot of discussion about traffic and pedestrian issues and the <br />improvements that needed to be made. The pedestrian signals were installed last year. The final <br />piece is changes to the road configuration. Originally the access road was to be moved to the west <br />to provide a better alignment. The School District has been working with the State on the <br />property purchase, the State has indicated they are at another year out in considering the sale of <br />this land. In light of that, the School District would like to discuss a revised layout for the Lake <br />Valentine Road improvements. The current timing, for either the approved or revised alignment, <br />does not allow the School District to complete this construction in 2021. The applicant is also <br />requesting the Council consider extending this deadline to 2022. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes wondered if they were trying to move the parent drop off farther east to <br />line up with the parking lot exit. <br /> <br />Wold Architects Partner Aplikowski said the primary revision is the access to the turnaround on <br />the south side of the road to be relocated about 70 feet to the east to line up with the driveway on <br />the north. He noted that the process of buying the land from the State is going so slow that they <br />are fearful that if they wait another year they still won’t get answers. <br /> <br />Mr. Aplikowski explained that the only real changes from the last plan that was approved was <br />that the driveway on the parking lot side was going to move west, and the existing driveway <br />would stay where it was. The new version brings both of those driveways to the east. Alignment <br />across the street was always a concern and they hope to facilitate that within the property the <br />school district owns. The driveway on the school district property will be a little steeper, but <br />manageable and stacking headed west will get shortened slightly. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes wondered if they realized there was still a crosswalk painted on the road <br />and people are crossing there. She felt people were crossing there and not crossing at the light. <br /> <br />Mounds View School District Director of Facilities Paquette said he has no problem working <br />with contractors to get the crosswalk blacked out. <br /> <br />Mounds View School District Representative Schwartz said they currently have two dismissal <br />times, and the majority of kids leave the building at 2:45, and cross at the light. He reviewed the
