Need Help on Issue - China Bistro Outside Music on Thier Patio

Lakesrider · 06-24-2010, 07:02 AM

HA! I went through writing a response about the missing period (.) at the end but just couldn't hit the send button.

As far as the music. My suggestion would be a .50cal to the transformer servicing the place.

Would love to, but then it would be me in the frying pan, not the egg rolls or chicken fingers,

Great now I am hungary at 7:38am in the morning, but not for their food!

As I sit on my couch awake at 12:05am, trying to get to sleep since 11pm and then finally giving up and having to try to get my daughter to sleep and her just finally passing out about 10:50pm, I had put a call into the Gilford Police department about the noise and vibrations that have been going on since about 9:30pm. I just felt the need to update everyone on the situation.

I have to say I have received some good feedback from the town and they are adressing the concerns of myself and my neighbors. Infact last weekend we barely heard a peep form across the street (the weekend after China Bistro was contacted), we came up this afternoon after work and sure enough they were back at it after the quiet weekend that followed contact from various parts of the town such as the planning board, selectmen, and others. (I was kept in the loop about the contacting) I do not wish to put anymore further about the total details discussed incase this matter has to go further, but will keep the forum updated on the situation at hand to let you know my progress.

I will let everyone know that they received a letter from the planning board about their site plan and how while they were authorized for music inside and out, they were found not in compliance with their site plan and had to remove the fence, string lights, tables, chairs, and anything else out in front of the bldg facing Rt 3 (Lake St) to when I last checked it out a couple of hours ago, they had not. They were advised they would be fined a significant amount starting from the first day they were told to remove everything, so I just emailed asked that the fine be enforce and to have my tonights complaint documented via the email

It is now 12:20am, and still the noise continues after being advised that a police car would go and speak to them about the bass levels. It was quiet for a couple of minutes I am ballparking about midnight till about 12:08am and then right back up to a louder level, hmm wonder why it was lowered for that amount of time???
Well in about an hour their grand finally for the night will turn on for about 20-30 minutes and it will be a constant vibration and noise (it is the same everynight) and hopefully about 2:15am I will be able to get to bed tonight or this morning.

I thought the "last call" in NH was 1AM, maybe you should get the liquor commision involved. They tend to have a "take no prisoners" attitude, if evan one person is drinking past 1AM.

I am unsure about the liqour, but the club does not shut down until 1:30-2
usually last call is a half hour before closing in most places that I know of even in MA

Last call and closing time are not always related.
A bar/restaurant has to stop serving liquor at a certain hour per local/state laws. This means that after that time, drinks cannot be available or consumed. There is no law about the timing of last call though.

However, unless the local law states a specific closing time, the place can stay open as late as it wants-as long as they are no longer selling liquor. Drinks have to be finished and off the tables/bar by the whatever time the law states.

Wanted to let everyone know that despite the planning board's letter to the Owners of China Bistro back on June the 22nd to remove everything from their front lawn or face a per day fine and they would not be allowed a hearing infront of the board to do so..

well guess what, just found out that they have a hearing in front of the planning board of Gilford on Monday the 16th at 7pm

AND TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT ATLEAST DONE WHAT THE BOARD HAD ASKED THEM TO DO OVER A MONTH AGO!!!! No fine and they got the hearing anyways

Now how does this work???

Please come out or write letters to the board or whatever you can to hopefully stop them from being granted the outdoor patio space/club area
