booklets for the Council to review at the last meeting and that he would be happy
to clear up any questions the Council might have.
Councilmember Ziebarth questioned what the parking would look like in the back of
the store. Mr. Schaak replied that the Staff had recommended that 18 parking places
be provided, and that they are planning 17 in front of the store, and one employee
parking spot in back, but that they do not expect more than four or five spaces to
be occupied at one time.
Mayor Pickar expressed concern over possible stacking of vehicles at the gas pumps.
Mr. Schaak replied that there would be 34 feet between the store and the island,
with enough room for two waiting cars.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked what was planned for the two dumpsters in front of the
store. Mr. Schaak replied that he was only aware of one dumpster, which was collect-
ing papers for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy drive, and that it would be left
there. Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he was concerned with the area becoming
cluttered, with a dumpster for collecting papers, cars pumping gas and cars parking
for shopping.
Councilmember Baumgartner pointed out that Seven - Eleven had stated that by 1980,
better than 60% of all gas stations will be self- service and questioned how much
that would increase the traffic at the Seven - Eleven facility. Mr. Schaak replied
that Seven - Eleven is not in the business to sell just gas, so he did not feel their
traffic would increase proportionately to other service stations. He also stated
that Seven - Eleven was higher priced than cut -rate stations. Administrator Achen
