Maywood schedules hearings for proposed electronic billboard and Maywood Grocery license suspension
Loading...
Summary
The board authorized a PCZBA public hearing on an electronic billboard application by FHE, LLC and directed staff and counsel to schedule a hearing on suspending or revoking Maywood Grocery's business license after tobacco‑sale citations and a court no‑show; both actions passed by voice vote.
At the Oct. 16 meeting the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees directed staff to coordinate a PCZBA public hearing on a proposed electronic billboard from FHE, LLC, following standard noticing and submittal procedures. Trustee I. Brandon moved the motion and Trustee K. Wellington seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, Attorney Michael Jurusik reported that Maywood Grocery had been cited for selling tobacco without a license (citations dated March 2 and March 16, 2018) and had not appeared in court. Jurusik and staff recommended a public hearing to consider suspension or revocation of the store’s business license; Trustee I. Brandon moved and Trustee H. Yarbrough seconded a motion directing staff and counsel to proceed with that hearing. The motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The electronic‑billboard hearing initiates the zoning and public‑notice process for a freestanding sign that would affect local neighborhood character and sightlines; the license‑suspension hearing addresses repeated code violations and possible loss of a business license.
What’s next: Staff will schedule and notice the PCZBA and business‑license hearings per established procedures; the Clerk’s Office retains the legal memorandum and citations for the Maywood Grocery matter.
