The Board on April 23 , 1991 adopted Resolution No. 91/255 declaring its intention to change the name of Ostrosky Drive, Ostrosky Place and Ostrosky Court to Heritage Oaks Drive, Heritage Oaks Place and Heritage Oaks Court, in the Alamo area, and fixing this date and time for hearing. The Public Works Director reviewed the petition for name change and Resolution 78/612 setting forth the Board' spolicy for name changes. The Public Works Director recommended the name change proceed. Supervisor Schroder reviewed the petition and the procedure. He noted originally he believed there were enough signatures in favor of changing the name to warrant Board action, but that he had just received written communication from some of the residents withdrawing their names from the petition. Supervisor Schroder advised that it would be his intention to deny the name change at this time. The Chair declared the hearing open and the following appeared to speak: Janet Haro, 2375 Ostrosky Drive, Alamo, suggested that everyone except the Ostrosky family favored the name change. She expressed great surprise that there had been written communications withdrawing support and that she felt that, as the neighborhood representative, she should have been informed. William Hahnel, 2387 Ostrosky Drive, Alamo, commented on the problems he believed would result from changing street names, and that after having the existing names for 17 years, he did not believe there was sufficient reason to change them. Peter Ostrosky, 26 Ostrosky Court, Alamo, developer of Boundary Oaks, urged the Board not to change the names. Diane Leventhal, 121 Ostrosky Place, Alamo, suggested that even Board members seemed to have difficulty in pronouncing the name Ostrosky, and that it is quite confusing to her family' s international correspondents. She commented that there was 100 per cent of residents on Ostrosky Place who wanted to change the name. Sonja Hahnel, 2387 Ostrosky Drive, Alamo, suggested everyone knew the name of the street when they purchased their houses, and that her children have never had a problem with the street name, nor had there been problems with fire, police and ambulances responding to calls on the street. She suggested that 20 per cent of the residents on her street did not want to change the name. There being no further speakers, the Chair declared the hearing closed. Supervisor Schroder noted that it appears that the majority of residents on Ostrosky Place were in favor of the name change, but that it seems to make better sense to change the court and place to the same name as the drive. He noted that he would file with the Clerk the petitions he had received. Supervisor Torlakson agreed with the comprehensive integration of the name of the drive, place and court as suggested by Supervisor Schroder. He noted that the people he talked to indicated that they desired input into any name change in the future. Supervisor Schroder moved to deny the name changes without prejudice. The motion was seconded by Supervisor McPeak. The Board thereupon adopted Resolution 91/334, denying, without prejudice, the proposed name changes.
