He stated that they would like to have this item tabled so that it will coincide with their petition. He went on to say that a service station has been operated on this corner for many years. American Oil has been operating the gas station for 10 to 12 years. The Farmer Jack and others in that center will continue to operate, it will not go to P.S. , therefore, a gas station would be more compatible with this center as it is now than if it were P.S. There is no residential property in the immediate area and they, therefore, feel there would be no detrimental effects to operating this gas station at this center. Mr. Andrew stated for clarification purposes that Mr. and Mrs.. Borwich were the owners and that American Oil was the lessee. Mr. Steinhardt stated yes, this was the case. They have submitted a petition for rezoning to C-2 and then they will ask for a waiver use. Mr. Tunis asked whether this would be located on the service drive or oriented to overpass.
