request an easement (20 X 38 ft.) located and running parallel to the south

property line of the Right-of-Way on 29th Street at the 29th Street Recreation

Center. The easement will allow Atmos Energy Corporation to enter upon said

land at all times for the purpose to lay, maintain, operate, remove or replace,

a gas distribution main, regulators and all necessary appurtenances. Atmos

request and recommends the granting of the easement.
