(2) Staff Feedback <br />A. YOLITE STREET CONNECTION <br />o Development of this site could trigger the construction of a 275' public roadway connection <br />(known as Yolite Street) --which would connect Sunwood Drive with Veterans Drive. Yolite <br />Street is the only potential public mid -block connection between Zeolite and Sapphire Street in <br />The COR (which are a half mile apart). Requiring the construction of Yolite Street is a policy <br />question for the City to answer —and is very important to this proposed development. Direction <br />is needed in order to move this project forward on this particular site. <br />o Stone Brook Academy is proposing to pay for 20% of costs related to Yolite Street (if the City <br />requires this road). Stone Brook would like to use the City's previously utilized cost share <br />arrangement on public roads located in commercial areas in The COR--which is a 60/40 split (60% <br />City, 40% developer). Stone Brook is proposing to pay 20%, as they are only utilizing one side of <br />the road. They are proposing the user on the other side of Yolite Street pay for the <br />remaining share of the 40% developer portion (i.e. 20%). <br />o Another option to consider is a private drive/ road connection (much like Casey's). It appears, <br />based on initial comments from the EDA/ PC/ CC, this is an option worth pursuing. In this case, <br />Stone Brook would propose a 50:50 cost share. <br />o The current COR Master Plan (left) does NOT call for a public road connection at Yolite Street. <br />The original COR Master Plan (right) DOES. <br />o Yolite has NOT been platted (ROW has not been secured) on the south side of Sunwood Drive <br />(property currently being considered by Stone Brook). Yolite HAS been platted (ROW has been <br />secured) on the north side of Sunwood Drive (to service a potential parking ramp). <br />Page 5 of 15 <br />
