The liquor license for the Welch Avenue location of Dangerous Curves is back on the table in front of the Ames City Council for its Tuesday meeting.

After the controversial discussion regarding lap dancing at the Dangerous Curves location at 111 5th St., council members voted to table the liquor license issue until further investigation can take place.

“In all honesty, we really don’t know what will happen,” said Jeremy Boekelman, owner of Dangerous Curves. “We anticipate they will grant the liquor license and go from there.”

City Attorney John Klaus will present a report regarding the council’s options for voting on the liquor license, said Ames Mayor Ted Tedesco.

Boekelman said he received a letter presenting those same options but hasn’t been contacted personally by Klaus.

According to the letter, the council can either deny the liquor license because of “erotic touching of human buttocks” or grant the liquor license and monitor conduct with the options of either revoking or denying renewal at a later date.

“We were blindsided last time,” Boekelman said. “We don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but I will be at the meeting and so will my attorney and probably the landlord.”

Tedesco said the only issue on the agenda is the liquor license and that will be the only issue discussed.

Boekelman signed the lease to the location on Welch Avenue at the beginning of August and said he has already invested more than $20,000 in it.

Another issue that will be discussed during the council meeting is the rezoning ordinance for the new lifestyle center proposed for the intersection of 13th Street and Interstate 35.

Members of Ames Smart Growth are planning to hold a rally protesting the new lifestyle center in front of Ames City Hall from 6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“This is the last big vote that people will be able to put input on the issue,” said Jo Etzel, Ames Smart Growth member and rally coordinator. “We wanted to show that people are still paying attention.”

The rezoning ordinance has to go through three readings before it is passed, Tedesco said. Public input is only allowed on the first reading.

“We assume, if its been like it has in the past, there will be a number of people for and against it,” Tedesco said. “And because there will probably be a number of people, we will be giving people a limited amount of time to speak.”

Etzel said during the rally people will be standing around with signs and there will be displays with information about environmental and economical effects of the new lifestyle center.

“A handful of our members will be speaking officially to council, probably four to five people,” Etzel said.
