Hops Co. Proposed Expansion Irritates Neighbors

DERBY, CT — The popular Hops Co. beer garden is looking to expand, but many neighbors are concerned that parking problems would also grow.

The Planning and Zoning commission will vote in two weeks on whether to allow the business to expand, according to the Connecticut Post. It is in a non-conforming location on Sodom Lane that is near single-family homes.

Neighbors have complained about crowded parking on streets, garbage and increased traffic.

Land use lawyer Dominic Thomas who is proposing the zoning change said not allowing the expansion would send a message that Derby doesn't want businesses that are too successful in town.
