Most of these regulations are centered on the concern that your
building not look like a tower site.  An antenna that is sufficiently
small that it can not be seen from the ground without resorting to
optics may be on their "oh, that's fine" list once they see one
sitting on the table in front of them.

Don't forget about OTARD, where so long as you control the space in your
lease, no local government regulations can prevent installation of a internet
reception radio.

Also, the Ubiquiti is crap from a build/reliability standpoint.  If you're
doing anything serious, it would be worth it to buy a better product.  I'm
partial to the Alvarion and Motorola PtP links.

While certainly not the best stuff made I've found the ubiquiti
equipment to be very nice for the price and have a few of their AP's
which have been in service 24x7 for a couple of years now.
