o Sunwood Drive and Veteran's Drive were constructed ahead of development, based on the <br />original COR Master Plan. Yolite Street was stubbed in on both Sunwood and Veteran's Drive. <br />An intersection has been constructed on Sunwood (for the anticipated Yolite Street). <br />o There is an existing stormwater line that runs through the proposed Yolite Street connection <br />(between Sunwood and Veteran's Drive). Therefore, even if the Yolite Street connection is not <br />made, this storm water line will effect where buildings can be constructed (i.e. cannot be built <br />over the stormwater line). <br />o From a traffic flow/public safety perspective, staff recommends the City make the proposed <br />connection of Yolite Street between Sunwood Drive and Veterans Drive. At this point, there is no <br />road connection for about a half mile. In the event of an emergency or heavy traffic in The COR, <br />having this connection, to allow for detours/ alternative routes, will be very important. <br />i. Furthermore, if the Yolite Street connection is not made, and one of the two existing <br />connections is blocked (in the case of an emergency/ major event/ construction), the <br />next available connection will be more than a half mile away (which is a great distance <br />in a dense/ walkable/ transit oriented development). <br />ii. Staff is also concerned that existing private driveways (such as Residents at The COR) <br />will continue to experience significant public through traffic, due to the lack of public <br />road connections. As The COR develops, this problem is expected to worsen —especially <br />if connections like Yolite are not made. <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />
