[TowerTalk] Advice on tower restrictions possible new homepurchase

[john at kk9a.com]

This is all good advice and very true regarding getting three different
answers from three people. I would not ask anything until I read the
building codes or had an attorney look at them. Don't most counties and
cities have the building codes online?

    Sounds like fun. I would certainly recommend my UP  THE TOWER book. 
It's got 2 chapters on the legal implications. championradio.com  for more 
info. 
 
    But the first thing I would suggest is going to  city/county hall and 
getting a copy of the building regs. Then you'll know  EXACTLY what the 
building codes want. Of course this is in addition to any  CC&R's that
apply. 
In 
the case of farm country in Kansas, it's probably a  non-issue.
 
    The problem with asking the building department  questions is that they 
probably haven't encountered a tower application  before. And my experience 
has been that if you ask 3 people in the building  department for answers, 
you'll likely get 2-3 different answers.
