[SECC] Cobb County Tower Query

It is my understanding that the Cobb County code requires that the tower be no
closer than half the height of the tower from the property line. That is to
say that a 70 foot tower could be no closer than 35 feet from the line.  I
think that Dekalb, Gwinette, and Fulton have a more reasonable limit of
one-third the height.

I could be wrong, so I think checking with Jim or Susan is a good idea.
