Across the East Fork from where one developer just bought 231 acres in the flood plain, another has fought the City and courts for years for the right to build hundreds of homes in floodplains. Will Signorelli finally win on Thursday? Learn more about what's on this week's Planning Commission agenda.

BobRehak : I thought that the commons had flooding during Harvey. I would think new homes in the flood plain are definitely going to flood. And so many small lots and homes on that plat….that's going to impact the value of the big homes in the community.

Wiseowl: This is the common(no pun intended) theme with developers right now; higher density, smaller homes. They don't care about the more expensive adjacent homes. With the recent history of this tract, I can't imagine anyone with any sense buying there.
So, that leaves them with the people with no sense. Brilliant!!!!

Wiseowl : I thought bigger homesites were the concept (& the draw of buyers) of the Commons. If I was a current owner I wouldn't be happy! That's a lot of small lots! Yikes!!

GirlonaBoat : We have friends who moved from KW to The Commons several years ago because of the large lots. The traffic will be horrible over there, especially on 2100 @ 1960. Yikes, indeed.

I'm really surprised they haven't built a bridge from Kingwood Drive over to The Commons.
