Some residents feel fenced in by 5-foot setback requirement
The Murphy City Council debated and agonized for more than an hour during a sometimes-heated discussion, but finally decided to retain a provision in the city development code that requires fences on corner lots within the Bluff Creek Estates subdivision to be built no closer than five feet from the property line.
The stipulation, which the council voted June 2 to retain, is exclusive to the Bluff Creek development and is included in the zoning requirements established for the public improvement district that regulates construction within the subdivision, according to Jared Mayfield, director of community and economic development for the city.
