Hopp Brook Estates proposal called for 109 homes in Beacon Falls
BEACON FALLS The developer behind the proposed Hopp Brook Estates housing development plans to appeal in Superior Court the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision to deny an application for the project.
Hopp Brook Developers, LLC, which is based in Shelton, wants to build 109 three-bedroom homes on a 135-acre, undeveloped parcel of land it owns off Oakwood Drive near the Bethany border.
Hopp Brook Developers had two applications one for a zone change and another for a special exception for the project pending before the commission.
In 2017, the then-Planning and Zoning Commission approved changing the zone of the land from Residential 1 to a Planned Residential Open Space District for the project, but the legal notice announcing the decision incorrectly stated the area for the change. The most recent application for the zone change was meant to clear up the clerical error from 2017.
