Hideout voters will get last word on controversial annexation of Summit County land. Referendum is set.

| Updated: 2:14 p.m. Now those residents will decide the annexation’s fate in a referendum late next month. Until then, the property’s developer and town officials will hold public informational sessions about the planned 350-acre expansion, called Silver Meadows, which is located in Richardson Flat near Park City. At the first such public session, held Wednesday evening, Hideout Mayor Phil Rubin made his case for growing the town. “Given the demand for nearby services that will only increase as 1,500-plus previously approved units get built around Jordanelle [Reservoir],” Rubin said at the virtual hearing, “I encourage you to vote recognizing that it will further the goals . of the community if we choose to move ahead with the annexation.”

A new newspaper in Hideout featuring limited transparency spurs pro-annexation 'propaganda' accusation

Courtesy of JT Olio There have been some interesting items mixed in among the advertisements and bills in mailboxes near Hideout recently, including a newspaper called the Hideout Herald that caught nearby resident JT Olio’s eye. “It just started showing up in the mail,” Olio said. “… My immediate reaction to the very first one was, ‘Brockbank!’” Olio was referencing developer Nate Brockbank, who along with the Hideout Town Council is at the center of a controversial attempt to annex part of Richardson Flat to build 600 homes and a commercial center on what is now open land. Olio sees the Hideout Herald as part of Brockbank’s sales pitch to Hideout residents ahead of a June referendum in which voters will decide whether the annexation and development will go forward.

It’s all over but for the shouting. The controversial annexation of 350 acres of land in Summit County by the municipality of Hideout was approved following a 3-2 vote by the Hideout Town Council, clearing the way for a mixed use development in Richardson Flat, east of Park City. The last impediment to annexation is the possibility for Hideout citizens to challenge the decision by filing a referendum in which town residents themselves would vote on the resolution. This provision was a requirement for Nate Brockbank, who holds the area’s development rights, to secure two of the three council votes for approval.
