Mayor expresses concern over proposed nightclub at former Moose Lodge, urges noise‑control review
Summary
Jan Malinaro told the council a proposed conversion of the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center in a residential area could generate recurring complaints; he urged councilors to review municipal noise code (chapter 8) and consider neighborhood impacts as the permitting process moves forward.
Jan Malinaro addressed the council about a separate land‑use issue: the former Moose Lodge is under review for conversion to either a nightclub or event center, and Malinaro warned the venue — if approved — could produce noise, alcohol‑related disturbances and repeated police calls if located adjacent to a residential neighborhood. He referenced the city’s municipal code, pointing councilors to chapter 8 (noise control) and said the city should consider the experience of prior venue conversions when evaluating neighborhood impacts.
Malinaro suggested councilors review police reports and the noise‑control chapter and noted past examples where veterans’ organizations changed rental policies after neighborhood complaints. He concluded by saying he would return to the council if the matter continues to develop.
