Location - Cedar Rapids and Linn County Iowa (eastern Iowa)
Both city and county have separate tower ordinances. Both ordinances
reference EIA-222 latest Rev. (currently Rev. F) With 80 mph basic wind
speed as one condition, and 75% of that wind pressure applied to a
stucture with 1/2" radial ice applied per the standard. (This usually
works out to be over 200% of the first condition.)
The county design and siting ordinace is posted at our local ham groups
web page:
http://www.rf.org/towerord.html
Permitted usage and allowable tower heights are scattered through out
the basic zoning ordinance.
