Former Moose Lodge reuse raises neighborhood noise and liquor‑license concerns
Summary
Jan Molinaro warned council that converting the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center with alcohol could bring complaints and repeat problems seen near other venues; he urged review of municipal noise-control code (chapter 8).
A speaker raised neighborhood concerns about a proposed reuse of the former Moose Lodge and asked the council to consider noise and licensing impacts.
Jan Molinaro said the proposal — described to him as a nightclub or event center that might seek a liquor license — "has the potential of being in a residential area and being, probably... pretty loud." He referenced past issues near a Veterans of Foreign Wars facility and suggested that similar problems could arise if rentals and bands were permitted without appropriate controls.
Molinaro asked council to consult municipal code noise-control provisions (chapter 8) and to consider how such a business would fit inside a residential neighborhood. He indicated further engagement will follow if the issue moves through permitting.
