A public hearing is being held in Danbury tonight by the Zoning Commission about the master plan for the Summit.  The City is considering zoning changes to allow for a combined middle and high school on the westside at the site of the former Matrix Center, part of a housing development by SC Ridge. 

The Danbury Zoning Commission is also holding a public hearing tonight about a proposed brewery and tap room.  Quirk Works Brewing and Blendery is looking to open a brewery at 78 Triangle Street.  Rick Cipriani has extensive experience in the craft brewing industry, brewery operation and beverage distribution.  Plans call for about 2,500 square feet to be used as the brewery/warehouse and 1,100 square feet as a tasting room. 

There are 114 parking spaces on site.  Current tenants require 70 spaces.  Traffic engineers anticipate 74 trips associated with the tasting room, mostly in non-peak traffic hours.  The hearing is about a Special Permit for a brewery in the IL-40 Zone. 

The meeting starts at 7:30pm.
