"Can't", "won't", or "don't want to?"
I respectively recommend you not accept a verbal statement on the topic of
what the city allows, or doesn't allow, per their own regulations. Towers
are logically a building-and-safety issue, and I would ask them for a
written statement about the appropriateness of your interest in getting a
building permit. A building permit protects you and them. You might have
to study the regulations yourself, and get an appointment with a supervisor
in that office.
You want them to tell you in writing, or quote a regulation, as to their
recommended path for you to follow.
A tower installation is a major undertaking, with some risk to you. I
would not proceed without a defined path going in.
