Public commenter warns council a nightclub at the former Moose Lodge could revive neighborhood noise and policing issues
Summary
A local commenter told the Eden Plus City Council a permit to convert the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center could bring loud events and alcohol to a residential area; he urged review of municipal noise code (chapter 8) and stepped‑up oversight of any liquor‑license application.
A speaker identified to the council as Mayor Jan Molinaro (speaker 9) raised concern about a pending permit application for the former Moose Lodge, saying the proposal to operate as a nightclub or event center could repeat prior neighborhood discord tied to bands, liquor and late‑night events. He pointed to the VFW's earlier experience as an example of how alcohol and noise complaints can lead to repeated police responses and economic strain on small organizations.
Molinaro urged councilmembers to consult the municipal code on noise control (he cited chapter 8) and to monitor any liquor‑license application carefully, especially if new events would be located within or adjacent to residential areas. He said police reports exist documenting past complaints and told council he would return if the issue continued.
