An acceptable alternative to CYA may be to apply for a permit with
complete plot plan (approximately to scale with ACCURATE distances
shown) and description of tower/anchors/bases. A copy of this
application with a "Permit not Required" or similar notation SIGNED
by the Building Official is pretty good insurance. 

A further note: If applicable laws exempt the tower/antenna, get a
certified copy of the applicable code/law from the local City Clerk
or equivalent and file it with your important papers also.
