AN Wireless makes a very nice tower. I would move it further from the
house or use the alternate concrete base design and move it a less.

I'm considering building a AN wireless tower at my property in St Pete Beach,
and it must be rated for 120 MPH wind which means it's large foundation. 
Good
news is the city says I'm good up to a 70' tower without a zoning
variance.  I
only need stamped drawings for it.

II want to keep it centered on my lot behind my house which is an L shape.
Looking at the foundation "K" which is required, I need a 7' pier and a 15'
pad under it.  I'd like to have the 7' pier flush in the corner of the L
of my
house with the pad extending under the house.

Has anyone ever done something like this before?  I'm assuming I'll need to
support the foundation of the house with some steel beams and then dig out
under it.

Thoughts?
