PROVO, Utah (AP) — A Utah developer who wanted to build a drug treatment facility near a natural waterfall has filed a suit against Utah County after the county blocked private development at the tourist attraction. The lawsuit filed by developer Richard Losee on Wednesday argued that the conservation easement passed unanimously in December violated county code. The conservation easement limited use at the falls in order to preserve its amenities. Losee’s lawyer Bruce Baird argued that it was unlawful to classify the Bridal Veil Falls as “surplus property” because the value of the attraction was more than $1,500. Former Commissioner Nathan Ivie called Losee’s lawsuit “mind-boggling.”
