Default Purpose of street easement

A previous thread, now closed, left questions for me about streetside easements for homeowners in TV.
(Please stick to facts rather than opinions or squabbles)
The questions are:
  1. What is the distance of the easement (if that is the right term) from the street?
  2. What is the purpose of the easement?
  3. Does an easement mean that the homeowner no longer owns that property?
  4. Does the use of the easement for purposes other than its stated purpose violate the homeowners right to own private property?

I would like to know once and for all the answers to these questions. If you answer, please cite your sources or credentials as an expert.
