FLL, cell tower sites are treated as a boundary line in respect to setbacks. The town regulated how close an accessory structure or your house can be to the front, sides and back of your property line (these can be breached with proper filing of a variance and receiving approval), this allows the owner of the property that the tower sits on to build ANY structure within setback distances from the cell site. I am guessing that the 13 foot number is a WAG, just seems really odd for a setback, typically in 5 foot increments.
With that in mind, FLL, hope you have a really good relationship with your neighbors, you could be the next person with a cell tower within 15 ft of your property line.
I would think you would want to be directly under the cell tower. I do not know if anyone else notices this but the closer you are to a tower the worse your service is. I was told at one point that it has to do with the broadcast cone, who knows could have been smoke.
