Default far radials for verticle?

hi



I might be able to get permission to put up a simple multiband verticle

i'd have to mount it on the elevator room (brick wall 10ft high) of my
building.

if i got approval, the coop board wouldn't let me put 'radials' off
the base of the antenna they don't like the way it'd look

The roof floor is concreat w/tar then small stones

wondering if i could just burry lots of wires and attach to the
bottom of the mast, so it would be 10ft away from the base of the
antenna, which would be held onto the wall w/a 10ft mast not sure how
that couples but i presume it's base of antenna not base of mast
that counts


how bad would placing the radials be in this manner (all band
verticle)


are there any other alternatives?


the roof of the elevator room is 10ft by 10ft i could put 1 or 2
wires on the base /floor of that but it would all be in 1
compas direction mostly


not sure which is 'best'??


any tips appreciated


thanks
