Pipeline request for special use permit at 2511 North Lexington Avenue Presentation Mr. Don Berry, representing Williams Bros. Pipeline stated they propose to construct a building 6'8" x 6'8" and enclose it within a 20' x 50' cyclone fence. This would be located on their pipeline easement. The building will house equipment which will monitor the product going through the pipe and provide warning to a central location when a change in product reaches the equipment. Discussion Mr. Dahlgren pointed out several concerns that he felt should be explored: 1. Whether or not the equipment and building must be placed at this particular location in a residential neighborhood? 2. Is it essential that the building be enclosed in a cyclone fence? 3. Will the existing trees on the site be preserved? 4. If the building must be located on this site, could a more aesthetically pleasing structure be built more in keeping with the residential character of the neighbor- hood? Mr. Berry indicated that this site provided the best location for the construction of their facility. He stated that the nature of the pipeline easement through Central Park would not provide for construction of this facility and, therefore, the easement would have to be changed. He also pointed out that the facility must have public access and so, therefore, it could not just be placed anywhere in the park. Mr. V. Johnson suggested that perhaps all of the functions could be included inside the building thereby permitting the fence to be eliminated. Mr. Gordon Rohrbacher, 1139 Brooks, stated that his major concern was that the terrain not be disturbed so as to hinder the natural drainage of water in the area. Mr. Berry indicated that he didn't foresee that there would be any change in the drainage. Mr. Rohrbacher suggested that a condition be placed on the approval if it were granted. Mr. Gerald Schmidt, 1123 Brooks, also voiced concern about the drainage and felt that the fence as proposed would certainly damage the property values of the homes in the area.
