We have reviewed the proposed Variance Application and have no objections to its approval, subject to the
following comments (attached below).

We have reviewed the proposed Variance Application and have the following concerns (attached below).
PowerStream has received and reviewed the proposed Variance Application. This review, however, does not imply any approval of the
project or plan.
All proposed billboards, signs, and other structures associated with the project or plan must maintain minimum clearances to the existing
overhead or underground electrical distribution system as specified by the applicable standards, codes and acts referenced.
In the event that construction commences, and the clearance between any component of the work/structure and the adjacent existing
overhead and underground electrical distribution system violates the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the customer will be responsible
for 100% of the costs associated with PowerStream making the work area safe. All construction work will be required to stop until the
safe limits of approach can be established.
In the event construction is completed, and the clearance between the constructed structure and the adjacent existing overhead and
underground electrical distribution system violates the any of applicable standards, acts or codes referenced, the customer will be
responsible for 100% of PowerStream’s cost for any relocation work.
