Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance renames a portion of Blake Drive between Sunnywood Drive and the cul-de-sac as “Sweet Oak Court.” This street renaming request was submitted by the Department of Emergency Services because there are two different roadways with the name Blake Drive that are no longer proposed to connect, which could result in emergency services delays.
This name change has been approved by the Planning Commission and the Emergency Communications District Board. The required historic report has been received and is available as an attachment to the ordinance.
