I suggest you figure out for certain the basic information you need. Right-of-way and easements over and adjacent to your property will be shown one of two places, possibly both...1) your plat; 2) a separate instrument that would be recorded in the county clerk's office.
You must have this information to know for certain your situation. These documents will include the layout (exact dimensions, etc.) of the right-of-way and easements and describe what is allowed in these areas. In almost no cases will the property owner be allowed to put anything in the easements, even though he owns the property "under" the easement. The right-of-way is not owned by the adjacent property owner, so of course the adjacent property owner can build nothing there.
