I've always wanted a tower. I was impressed by the one at the
club station that I used to hang out and bother the operators
before I was licensed.

You may want to check carefully for corrosion and if you find any
get the surface scraped down and get it hot dipped galvanized.

You may also want to check with your local building department to see
if the local codes make any special provisions/requirements when used
towers are installed.

You are getting a building permit (not to be confused with a use or
zoning permit), right?

Most towns are responsible for how they put up light and utility poles. Get
in touch with their public works people. When you follow their own specs
there's not much more they can say since you have found their own point of
liability.
