A Morgan County judge is fielding dueling lawsuits over Wasatch Peaks Ranch, an exclusive 750-home community and private ski area under development since 2019 on the 12,700-acre former Gailey property outside Peterson.
Last week, Hyde conducted a bench trial for a suit brought by five of those residents trying to get such a referendum on the ballot, which county officials had rejected. Project opponents argue the voters should be allowed to decide whether a development of WPR’s magnitude is right for the formerly unmarred Wasatch Mountains rising to the west of the Weber River.
While Judge Hyde prepares his forthcoming ruling in that case, he’ll be preparing to hear motions, filed under seal on Wednesday in a separate case initiated by the developers. The issue currently before Hyde has to do with WPR’s financials, which the critics want to access to determine the level of damages to seek against WPR’s developers and hidden owners.
The County Council approved the WPR rezone in a 6-1 vote, prompting Croft’s group to submit a petition for a referendum challenging that ordinance. But then-County Clerk Stacy Netz Clark rejected their petition on purely technical grounds.
