[TowerTalk] Limitation on tower width. Was: Revocation of BuildingPermit?

[Alan AB2OS <ab2os@att.net>]

No ideas on the primary question -- the legal one -- but I am surprised 
that the city limited the width of the tower to 18". The 60' AN Wireless 
tower (only a Light Duty model) I am planning to erect here is almost 3' 
across at the base, and I have not found anything else that, without 
guying, will support the modest load I expect it to carry in 80mph winds.

What tower are you using that is only 18" across, what will it carry, 
and for what wind speeds are you planning?
