[QUOTE=Surrealplaces;6164654]My opinion is that antennas or spires should count as the structural height unless they are less then say....2% of the average floor space. In other words I don't mind them counted as height so long as they are visible from a distance. If it's just a thin spire that can't be seen from more than a couple of miles away, it should be counted.....just my two cents.

I see your point about antennas vs spires though. Just top play devil's advocate though, an antenna is something that might be more likely to be replaced as opposed to a spire, and makes it seem less a part of the building.[/QUO

I think your idea of "can it be seen from a 'few' miles away" would add even more ambiguity to a horribly flawed system. I think it would be easier to just say spires and antenna don't count.
