If you are sitting at a desk at Chugach electric and getting calls about a person not having electricity or a person that had the right of way that needed to be cleared which would you think would be priority. If you plant trees in a right of way use your head, they will be cut hence the right of way. If you wait to clear the right of way for everyone this problem will stack up and cause outages no doubt and then you will complain about losing your electricity or your neighbors will. Don't think that Chugach likes to to pay for clearing or the problems incurred. You are spoiled up here as there are many places in the state that have more tree problems than you on the hillside but you bought the house and I would bet that the right of way was spelled out in the paperwork, read it
