I would goto http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/towairSearch.jsp and run a TOWAIR study on the tower to see if you will pass the FAA slope test.
IF it passes, take a section off (most likely 20 feet) and be done with it. Have it inspected by a reliable tower company (hard to find nowdays) and have fun. Any other questions, let me know. I deal with this every day.
