A Pilates studio with a difference appears to be on the way to the Eight Corners business district in Brookfield after village trustees on Feb. 8 indicated they would vote to approve a special use permit for the business at their next meeting on Feb. 22.
Tina Shelley, a Brookfield resident, applied for the special use permit to open Taut inside the vacant storefront at 9219 Broadway Ave. The permit is needed because studios and instructional services are considered special uses in the C-3 zoning district, which includes the entire length of Broadway Avenue and portions of Maple Avenue and Monroe Avenue.

Amid uproar from business community, Hartford councilman withdraws proposal to fine landlords for
HARTFORD — A proposal to issue fines against vacant storefronts in Hartford roiled the business community downtown, prompting the city councilman behind the idea to take it off the table.
Councilman John Gale said he deserved some of the blame for the swift opposition that formed against his resolution, which would have labeled vacant storefronts as blight. He said he stood by the purpose of the plan, which was to spur landlords downtown to lower their rents or get creative about how they fill street-level, retail spaces that have sat empty for years.
Hartford city council rejects proposal to fine vacant storefront owners | Hartford Business
The Hartford city council Monday night rejected a proposal that would fine the owners of long-term vacant retail properties $100 per day, a measure that raised alarms among landlords.
The proposed amendment to the city's existing blight and property maintenance statutes was introduced Monday night by three council members and said any storefront that has been vacant for more than 120 days would be in violation and subject to fines and liens.
Hartford Business Journal first reported the proposal last week, noting that landlords, who were not consulted about the measure, said it was unfair, especially during a pandemic, and would make the city a less attractive place to do business.
