Transparency concerns took center stage at the May 4 meeting of the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission, as community members questioned the openness of a significant development project. A local resident raised alarms about the lack of communication, stating that even homeowners in the Promontory area received minimal notice about an information session regarding the development plan.

The resident pointed out that the notice was sent just one day before the meeting, leaving little room for meaningful community input. "Where has their opportunity been for their input?" they asked, highlighting the frustration felt by many in the community.

The issue of transparency was further underscored by a comment from Mr. Zurich, who suggested that the development would only impact "2 or 3 homeowners," a statement that many residents found dismissive of the broader implications for the community.

As discussions continue, the call for greater transparency and community engagement remains a pressing concern, with residents eager for more substantial involvement in decisions that affect their neighborhoods. The Planning Commission's response to these concerns will be crucial in shaping the future of the development and restoring trust within the community.
