Unless the inspector takes offense at your statement, and uses a laser 
rangefinder to measure the height. Not even a  particular challenge to do 
it from the street or a block away with any of a variety of readily 
available surveying instruments.

What you could do is put up the 70 foot tower, claim ignorance or 
misunderstanding of what the 70 feet actually applied to (tower exclusive 
of mast), and assuming the neighbors haven't complained, ask for a variance.
