The resolution prohibits sexually oriented businesses within 500 feet of any religious institution, school, preschool, hospital, nursing home or government buildings that are open to the public.

It also prohibits the businesses from operating within 500 feet of another sexually oriented business, as a way to restrict the businesses from clustering in one location.

The resolution also restricts the businesses to one advertising sign on the business premises. The sign cannot include flashing lights, moving elements or mechanically changing messages. It also cannot refer to sexual activity or specific body parts.

A sign on the business door is allowed to state the hours of operation and that only adults are allowed inside.

The resolution applies to a wide range of sexually oriented businesses, including adult book stores, adult cabarets and movie arcades.

Tom Groneman, director of the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said a liquor license was issued to Kristie L. Oplotnik, who gave the club’s address as her own. Oplotnik could not be reached for comment.

The Hallowell club apparently is the county’s second strip club. Sensations Gentleman’s Club has been in operation since 2004 south of Galena.

The latter club figured prominently in the federal criminal case against former Cherokee County Attorney Michael Goodrich.

Goodrich’s sentencing in U.S. District Court has been delayed until next year.

Goodrich’s new sentencing date is Jan. 5, according to an order signed in July by U.S. District Judge Monti Belot. He had been scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 8. Goodrich is free on bond as he awaits sentencing.

Goodrich, 48, of Baxter Springs, pleaded guilty in June to one count of extortion as part of a plea agreement. In his plea, Goodrich admitted that while he was the county prosecutor, he illegally received money and unspecified favors from the owner and employees of Sensations Gentleman’s Club in rural Galena. He said in his plea deal that he provided favorable legal treatment to the club owner and employees by dismissing traffic tickets and other costs. The club features nude women dancing.
