Former Moose Lodge redevelopment raises neighborhood noise and liquor concerns, former mayor warns
Summary
Jan Molinaro urged council to consider noise control and potential neighborhood impacts if the former Moose Lodge is converted to a nightclub or event center with alcohol, citing past complaints in similar cases and recommending review of municipal noise-control code (chapter 8).
Jan Molinaro addressed the council about a proposed redevelopment of the former Moose Lodge, saying plans that include alcohol and frequent events have the potential to replicate past neighborhood complaints the city experienced with other venues. "They're not in a residential area," Molinaro warned of similar venues that were once in neighborhoods and generated complaints; he urged council members to examine the municipal code on noise control (he specifically cited "chapter 8").
Molinaro said the city previously partnered with the VFW to mitigate complaints and suggested the same approach may be needed if a liquor-license application for the Moose Lodge proceeds. He closed by thanking the council and noting he would return if the issue continued to generate complaints.
