Having sold two pieces of property at 7201 Colleyville Blvd. and then rescinded the sale, the Colleyville City Council has kicked the question of what to do now to the city Parks Board.
The properties, which total about 8.1 acres, were sold to a developer several months ago, but taken back after residents showed city officials documents proving it couldn't be sold.
The land was used in 1999 to get a matching grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and was to be held as open space in perpetuity. It sits in a 100-year floodplain.
The developer already had started working on the property. City staff told the council at its April 2 precouncil meeting that city employees are still working to restore the area to its natural state.
