Council approves construction plat for Murphy Gardens; Councilmember Chase recuses
Summary
The council approved a construction plat for Murphy Gardens (16 lots); sidewalks will be provided and the item moves to utility construction and a later final plat.
The Murphy City Council voted March 18, 2025 to approve a construction plat for Murphy Gardens, a proposed 16-lot single-family subdivision at 311 McMillan Road.
Reagan, a city planner, told the council the construction plat conforms with the planned-development single-family 11 zoning and the previously approved concept plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at its Feb. 24 meeting.
Councilmember Andrew Chase recused himself from consideration of the item, the record shows. During discussion, a council member asked whether sidewalks would be provided along the individual lots; Reagan replied, “Sidewalks will absolutely be provided. They are a requirement of the ordinance and from the subdivision ordinance.”
If the council's action stands, the developer may begin construction of utilities and roadway work, after which a final plat would be returned to the council for consideration before lots are sold, staff said. A motion to approve item 8B carried on a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The council did not discuss in detail the construction schedule, bonding, or the final-platting timeline during the meeting, and those items were not specified in the presentation.
