Forest Cove Variance Public Hearing Information
The COH planning commission hearing is THIS THURSDAY at 2:30pm!

You can attend in person at City Hall Annex Building , 900 Bagby Street.
OR
Register to Attend virtually in Microsoft Teams by going to www.houstonplanning.com or call 832-393-6624 (72 hours prior to the meeting)

This green space has been part of Kingwoods Livable Forest for over 60 years and I think it would be really sad to see it go in favor of 128 cookie cutter homes.
If you live in Forest Cove/Kingwood and you don't want this, please make sure your voice is heard.
In addition to more flooding, traffic and concrete, look at what we stand to lose.
Let me know here if you plan on attending.

@ZMAN : That is so beautiful! It would be such a shame to loose that.

It's easy to understand why a land owner would sell. Not only do they no longer owe taxes on the property, but they get an influx of cash, which most of us can always put to good use.

OTOH, I agree it would be a shame. Concrete and construction is a necessity of our modern way of life, but while I'm not a naturalist or tree-hugger type, we need a balance of greenery/nature as well -- for many reasons.

I always liked golfing there because of the scenery.

@Jonn : I loved that course too

Just Say No! It'll create even more flooding for a flood prone area.

ZMAN : It's a beautiful property. Hopefully someone with a lot of money will buy it and put in a big park. I always liked golfing there because of the scenery.

@Jonn : lol, you saw the Juggies bouncing and sunbatheing on the trampoline by the 8th green too

@kingwooddiscgolf : I haven't seen any official plans for what its all supposed to look like but the document lists "4 reserves" in addition to the 128 houses which I'm guessing are going to be some type of drainage or water retention.

~ 3 years, 4 mos ago Sep 27, '21 11:38am

Hope whoever buys the houses in that area get flood insurance.

@Jen4747 : They wont need it because most of the golf course is on black cat ridge which is the highest point in kingwood. BUT, everyone who lives in the streets below who have never flooded before (but came close) should probably get insurance. I think by building on top of this hill it will be at the detriment of the existing residents not the new ones.

Much of St Andrews which is right along one side of the course comes close to flooding houses everytime there is a heavy rain. All of the water that normally get soaked up by the empty golf course will probably soon be rolling out through those houses. Similar to the Perry Homes Fiasco in ElmGrove.

@ZMAN : I would like to see the actual plan.
