Resident warns council that proposed event venue at former Moose Lodge could bring noise, liquor concerns
Summary
A public commenter asked the council to scrutinize a permit for the former Moose Lodge, saying a nightclub or event center serving alcohol in a residential area could repeat past noise and policing problems and urged review of municipal noise-control code (chapter 8).
A resident identified in the record as Malinaro raised concerns about a permit application that could convert the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center serving alcohol.
Malinaro said the proposed venue could host weddings and other private events and warned that placing that type of business in a residential area risks repeating past problems associated with similar venues. "When the neighborhood behind them moved started being built up, complaints came in...Police action had to come in," he said, referencing earlier complaints about a veterans’ club. He urged council to consider how a liquor license and late-night events might affect nearby homes.
He recommended council members review the municipal code’s noise-control provisions (he cited chapter 8) and consider the well-being of neighbors if the venue proceeds. The council did not act on the comment during the meeting; the commenter said he will return if the issue continues to progress through permitting.
