Connected, maximal compact, but not $T_2$
Thanks to Eric Wofsey, we have added the necessary extra hypothesis that Y is compactly generated.

Inserting an open and simply-connected set between a compact set and an open set
Riemann mapping is nuclear weapons given the relatively crude inequalities of the original questions. Perhaps the original inquiry helps amplify a trichotomy among true'',obvious'', and ``why exactly is this true?''.

Inserting an open and simply-connected set between a compact set and an open set
If we allow the Riemann mapping theorem, take a conformal map from the (punctured) open unit disk minus (0,0) onto the complement of K. The images in the plane of the circles centered at (0,0) of radius 1/n will do.
