Yes, it is called an easement in gross, where they (public utilities) have limited rights to use my property to maintain their poles, wires, etc. I cannot interfere with that, just the same I would be prevented from building a structure where it would block access to a sewer easement. Same thing. Same kind of easement. When the treemen came they asked me, and were willing to take less off if I wanted. I let them do what was best.
