Residents of Murray City expressed concerns regarding the impact of a new development project by Ivory Homes during a recent government meeting. Local representatives highlighted issues such as privacy violations due to excessive lighting and inadequate maintenance of property boundaries, particularly concerning Comcast's installation work.

One resident shared their experience of returning home from vacation to find a large light illuminating their backyard, prompting complaints about the loss of privacy. In response, the city took action by painting the light black to mitigate the issue, which successfully resolved the complaints. However, concerns about the overall management of the development persisted, with residents feeling that Ivory Homes had not adequately addressed their grievances.

Despite these concerns, city officials acknowledged the planning commission's efforts to address community feedback during the subdivision process. They emphasized the importance of transitional housing and the potential benefits of the proposed medium-density residential development, which aims to enhance the area along a major road.

The meeting concluded with a motion to amend the general plan from low-density to medium-density residential zoning for specific properties in the area. The motion received unanimous support from the commission members, indicating a collective belief in the project's potential to benefit the community while addressing housing needs.
