What Ever Happened To: Shakers Strip Club
Posted: Sep 20, 2009 09:09 PM
Updated: Sep 27, 2009 08:50 PM
Despite protests from neighbors, a nude strip club moved into Cozad last year.
Shakers juice bar opened on Highway 21, south of the interstate, in March 2008. Dan Robinson, the owner, runs a similar operation in Waverly.
Dawson County commissioners didn't have any legal ground to stand on to keep it out of Cozad because several businesses had already set up shop in that same building, before the county established its zoning and planning regulations. The property was grandfathered in as a nonconforming use. Also, because Shakers wasn't selling alcohol, it couldn't be regulated through a liquor license.
Russ Parsons bought his home and was in the process of remodeling it when he found out Shakers was going to be his next door neighbor.
Russ Parsons, a Cozad resident, said, "I do have a couple of young daughters and I didn't really want them spending the night and that going on."
So, he stopped working on the house and decided not to move in.
"Shakers moving in would have made our property values lower and the house wouldn't have
been worth what I was putting into it," he explained.
Althea Hill, who lives on the other side of the property, felt the same way.
"It was too close and we were afraid of the noise and stuff," said Hill.
Their fears were short lived. Shakers moved out after only six months.
Hill commented, "The only time that we saw very much traffic out there was the first night and most of that was people coming out to see who else was there."
NTV News contacted Robinson who said business was good.
The former owner of Upper Crust Pizza, Rex Kotschwar. leased the property and Robinson paid him rent. Robinson said when he found out Kotschwar was way behind in taxes he backed out. NTV News was unable to contact Kotschwar, but a former county commissioner confirms Robinson's claim and also said there was a lien on the property.
"Just all of a sudden why there was just nothing or nobody. And, so, we didn't know what had happened there for quite awhile," said Hill.
While Shakers is gone, there's no stopping another strip club from moving in.
Kurt McBride, the deputy attorney for Dawson County, said, "Dawson County has not made any changes to zoning that would specifically address the area of adult entertainment businesses. One of the reasons they have not is because of constitutional restrictions that would impact a business like that. That would probably open the county up to lawsuit."
Russ is taking his chances and plans to finally move in before winter. His neighbor now is a bait shop and auction house.
"I was surprised they even tried to open it up in Cozad. But, I was pretty happy when they moved out," he said.
Shakers auctioned off items when it left.
Robinson still runs a similar operation in Waverly.

Nude bar- Defeated, Dawson Co. board looks to keep it out
By HARRY G. PERKINS, Hub Regional Correspondent
03/01/2008
Updated 03/03/2008 01:06:02 PM CST
LEXINGTON — Dawson County can’t stop a juice bar that will have nude dancers from opening south of Cozad, but it will try to stop any similar place from opening.
The Dawson County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Friday directing the county’s planning and zoning commission to review portions of the regulations that deal with nonconforming businesses.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Ellen Arms said a review of the regulations that would prohibit a non-alcohol striptease business will begin when the commission meets Monday.
“We take this very seriously,” Arms said Friday.
Dan Robinson of Lincoln plans to open Shaker’s West at 75881 Highway 21, south of the Interstate 80 interchange south of Cozad, next week. Robinson has a similar operation near Waverly. Because the business won’t sell alcohol, it can’t be regulated through a liquor license.
Commissioner Linda Benjamin said the basis by which the juice bar will go into business has attracted statewide interest from planners and lawyers who have universally said there is nothing the county can do.
“We’ve heard what we can’t do, but we haven’t heard what we can do in the future,” Benjamin said. She said a county can’t pass ordinances, but it can exercise control through its zoning regulations.
The juice bar is able to open because it is going into a location that was open as a business before the county established its zoning and planning regulations and thus was grandfathered as a nonconforming use.
The grandfathering would be broken if use is discontinued for 12 consecutive months, but the previous business’s closing and the opening of Shakers falls within the permitted time frame.
Rex Kotschwar, a former Cozad resident, previously operated a café and pizza business known as Upper Crust at the location.
The business started as a bait shop many years ago without obtaining a special-use permit. Over time, the business was expanded to include a café with liquor sales and the pizza business. The pizza business closed on July 31.
“I’ve met with Mr. Robinson. I didn’t welcome him to Dawson County. I asked him, ‘Why?’” Benjamin said Friday.
Robinson, she said, picked the location when he learned that the property was grandfathered.
