Some people in Colleyville turn out en masse to urge the city council to oppose a proposed new housing development that would cost the city a large part of an old wooded area.
Sage Group Incorporated is asking the City of Colleyville for a zoning change so that it can put up 19 homes on 14 acres in what is currently a wooded area between Pool Road and Wilkes Drive.
Residents spoke for more than an hour during yesterday's special meeting and universally told the council they don't want to see the potentially centuries-old trees coming down in favor of development.
The city's planning and zoning commission unanimously recommended denial of the zoning change - so it will now take six out of the seven members of the council to vote in favor of approval for the project to move forward.
