Neighbors urge council to block Landmark Station nightclub and gas‑station plan over noise, traffic
Summary
Multiple residents spoke during public comment against a proposed Landmark Station project (LU A 2026‑16), citing noise regulations, insufficient mitigation, proximity to schools and a plan showing roughly 12 fuel pumps and an ~11,000 sq ft convenience store; speakers asked council to require clearer plans or impose a moratorium on neighborhood nightclubs.
Several nearby residents urged Eden's council to reject or restrict a proposed remodel of the Old Moose Lodge into a convenience store and nightclub known in filings as Landmark Station (LU A 2026‑16).
Jan Molinaro cited municipal code and state noise rules and asked whether outdoor seating or late‑night activity will be permitted; "Will more detailed plans be required from the nightclub owner?" he asked. Jack Baker said the plan—described in public comment as including about 12 fuel pumps and an approximately 11,000‑square‑foot convenience store—was inconsistent with the Neighborhood Business District and would not be "harmonious to the neighborhood character." Cindy Baker asked council to "impose a moratorium on allowing any nightclubs in neighborhoods" and noted five schools within a mile of the site. Speakers repeatedly urged sound‑mitigation measures such as perimeter barriers and retrofitting the building with sound‑deadening material.
Speakers tied the objection set to specific permit details on the land‑use notice (permit 2026018) and asked that the city repost accurate notice language clarifying whether proposed outdoor seating or other exterior uses would be allowed. Residents said prior venues had generated repeated noise complaints and police service and warned that a venue with liquor and amplified music could increase late‑night disturbances.
