Former Moose Lodge proposal prompts resident warning about nightclub, noise and permitting
Summary
Jan Molinaro warned the council that converting the former Moose Lodge to a nightclub or event center with alcohol in a residential area could repeat past noise problems and generate police responses; he urged review of municipal noise-control code (chapter 8).
Jan Molinaro addressed the council about a pending permit for the former Moose Lodge property, describing a proposed conversion to either a nightclub or event center that could host weddings and other gatherings with alcohol. Molinaro cautioned that similar operations in the past (he cited the VFW) led to complaints and police responses when nearby residential development increased and urged council to consider location and noise implications as the permit proceeds through review.
Molinaro recommended the council consult the municipal noise‑control code (chapter 8) and monitor liquor‑license filings and police reports as the application advances. He said he expects to return if the issue continues. The transcript does not record any immediate council action or a staff report from planning on the application.
