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 />
