Very different questions are involved.

Your relationship to your utility easement is best learned by reading the
utility easement.  I would guess, however, that you can put a guy anchor
on the near side of the utilities, within the utility easement, and "get
away with it."

Your relationship to local zoning with respect to where guy wires (we're
not talking towers here, just the guy wires) may go is different.  It is
highly unlikely that a rule on guy wires is in the zoning code.  Be nice
to the zoning enforcement officer.  Tell him it's like fencing, and need
not be limited to the "building envelope."
