Cheney City Council gives Harvest Bluff's second phase the go ahead

Cheney’s City Council has approved construction of the second phase of the Harvest Bluff development at the northwest corner of Betz and Murphy roads.

Phase two will provide 24 more homes on lot sizes ranging from 6,600 to 12,143 square feet in the subdivision.

Public Works Director Todd Ableman told the council at their Dec. 8 meeting that the contractor, Copper Basin Construction, had installed all the necessary infrastructure for the second phase. According to planning documents, that infrastructure includes an access onto a section of Murphy Road to the east owned by Spokane County and undeveloped.

Ableman said they had hoped to make improvements to Murphy Road included in the second phase approval, but were unable to come to an agreement with the contractor. The city hopes to include those in phase three later in 2016.
