MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #2021-047 Ordering Improvements and Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Lexington Avenue and Target Road Traffic Signal System Improvements. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried (4-0). C. Planning Case 21-017 — Planned Unit Development Amendment — Mounds View Public Schools Senior Planner Jagoe stated the City Council approved Planning Case 18-014 for a Planned Unit Development with Mounds View Public Schools for Mounds View High School in 2019 and subsequently amended in 2020. The amendment added 14 additional conditions to the existing Planned Unit Development to address existing traffic and pedestrian safety issues based on the findings contained within the study report, an evaluation of existing site conditions, and the Planned Unit Development Agreement. The terms of the PUD approval requires the School District to implement safety improvements on Lake Valentine Road in two phases to address traffic and increased pedestrian crossings between the school building and the north parking lot, including installation of turn lanes and other access improvements, trail and sidewalk improvements, pedestrian signal, signage and striping modifications, and drainage and utility improvements. The current schedule in the approved PUD does not allow the School District sufficient time for completion in 2021 due to design changes for realignment on school district land. The Applicant is requesting the City Council consider an extension of the deadline to 2022. Senior Planner Jagoe offered the following Findings of Fact: 1. The properties located at 1900 and 1901 Lake Valentine Road are located in the R-1 Single Family Residential District. 2. The proposed conditions when implemented will create a safer environment for pedestrian movement across Lake Valentine Road. 3. The proposed roadway improvements will improve traffic flow through the road section adjacent to the school.
