Any company doing work in the easement cannot be held liable for damage caused to structures built therein. A storage shed or other accessory building cannot be erected in a recorded easement. The City recommends using Missouri One Call System (1-800-DIG-RITE) to determine the location of underground utilities before erecting a fence or accessory building.
