Summary
A 93-lot residential subdivision on S. Creek Road and Murphy Woods Road is now officially platted, zoned, and master-planned. The sticking point was a staff-recommended sidewalk connecting the east and west halves of the neighborhood — the developer resisted it, but the council required it. Expect new housing and a larger tax base, plus a future $1 million market rate housing incentive grant and development agreement still to come.

Impact analysis
The new homes will grow the city's tax base, and a $1 million infrastructure grant for the project is still on the table.
Future homeowners and the city's tax base gain; west-side residents also gain a safe pedestrian link to the park space.
The developer bears the added cost of the sidewalk it had hoped to avoid.

Plan Commission - May 6, 2026
