Oh well, it was pretty utopian.  A ham I know fought a long legal battle against a neighbor who claimed the setback should be the total of the tower height plus half the longest horizontal element of the antenna on it.  The ham won, but it wasn't easy.

I think if I were in charge I'd require a setback of 50% of the height of the tower or the distance to an occupied structure on the adjacent property, whichever is larger.


From a regulatory standpoint the latter isn't really workable. The adjacent property owner could build a new structure (barring setbacks, etc.) that's closer to the boundary, after the tower is up.
