Easements
OK, first my credentials. I bought right of way easements for GTE in Michigan. We bought easements to build our facilities (telephone lines) on privately owned property. Easements within TV are exactly as one post said, for the placement, maintenance, and repair of utilities (gas, water, sewer, power, etc).
The power company, gas, and other non-Village owned utilities must get permission to use TV easements. Almost everyone in most every State has a utility easement at least in the front of their home and may have one all the way around the home. Nothing permanent can be placed on that easement which is typically 5 feet from the property line between houses and may extend as much as 32 feet from the center of the road (not the edge) in front of the home.
And no, easements (once recorded) are not going to go away. Once the easement is obtained its a permanent access for the person/organization who obtained it.
