B. The height limitations of this Code shall not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas, or domes not used for human occupancy, or to chimneys, ventilators, fire or parapet walls, flag poles, sky lights, water tanks, silos, cornices without windows, antennas, radio towers or properly screened mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level of a building unless otherwise stated in this Title; except in no case shall it be lawful to construct, build, or establish a building, tree, smoke stack, chimney, flag pole, wire, tower or other structures or appurtenances thereto which may constitute a hazard or obstruction to navigation or landing and take-off of aircraft at a publicly used airport.
