The Colleyville Planning and Zoning meeting on February 10, 2025, focused on community concerns regarding a proposed development that could significantly impact local infrastructure and flood management. Residents voiced their apprehensions about the potential flooding risks associated with the development, particularly due to its proximity to a creek that runs through the area.

Several homeowners expressed their support for progress but emphasized the need for careful planning to mitigate flooding issues. One resident highlighted that while the proposed development represents only a 3% increase in watershed, the actual impact on the existing infrastructure could be severe, especially during spring rains when flooding is already a concern. Another resident, Bobby Roberts, pointed out that the creek's disruption could lead to upstream flooding, affecting homes that are already situated in a floodplain.

Concerns were also raised about the proposed easement road, which would need to be expanded significantly to accommodate emergency access. Ted Van Horn, a nearby resident, noted that the current 10-foot road would need to be widened to 30 feet, potentially leading to the loss of trees and other natural barriers that help manage water flow. He urged the city to conduct more extensive upstream flood management to address ongoing issues.

Juan Carlos Martinez, another resident, shared his worries about the increase in the number of homes from an initial plan of three or four to twelve, which he believes could exacerbate water drainage problems. He suggested reducing the number of homes to allow for larger lots and better integration with the surrounding environment.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's desire for responsible development that prioritizes flood management and maintains the area's character. Residents called for more thorough assessments and planning to ensure that infrastructure improvements keep pace with new developments. The city officials are expected to consider these concerns as they move forward with the planning process.
