YORKVILLE â A new federal lawsuit is alleging that, after a private business arrangement with local landowners fell through, a Yorkville village plan commissioner used his position to oppose his former associates in a separate land deal that could have brought a new small business park to Racine County. The allegations against Daniel Maurice, now an elected village trustee, are included in a civil lawsuit filed against the Village of Yorkville by Jon and Kay Erickson, the owners of Ericksonâs Landscape Supply, 18917 Spring St. The suit, filed April 28 in federal court, accuses the village of violating the Ericksonsâ constitutional rights by refusing to rezone nine acres of their 39-acre property or issue a permit for commercial development.
YORKVILLE â Fireworks display permits are not just for the big shows anymore. Yorkville village officials have relaxed their rules so that private residents can obtain permits for traditional backyard fireworks fun during holidays or special occasions. The villageâs rules previously were written to limit permits almost entirely to large commercial displays that generally occurred once or twice a year with professional-grade pyrotechnics. But that made lawbreakers out of all of the families and other small groups that shot off lesser fireworks without permits in their backyards, farm fields or neighborhoods. Village officials say they are not trying to encourage more fireworks, but rather to track where fireworks displays are planned through the permitting process â and to allow people to have fun legally.
