Which brings a thought: if you have difficulties/issues with zoning rules and neighbor concerns
 that necessitate  setbacks from  property lines, and fall radii, equal to or greater than 
your tower/antenna height, is it possible to discuss with your neighbor his concerns or 
lack of concerns about the very rare occurance of a tower/antenna collapse that might reach 
into his property?   Perhaps you could make a binding agreement with your neighbor to bind you 
for payment of any actual damages to his property, if your antenna falls.  Equipped with 
such an agreement, you could approach zoning authorities and maybe convince them to allow 
a closer setback, due to your in-place legal agreement with your neighbor.  Any  chance? 

All the best,
