Steve-
I met a ham a few years ago who lived in Orange County, and he related
having purchased the "air rights" from his neighbor. Seems he wanted to
put a tower up near the fence line and this gave him a great solution to
the overhang problem. As I recall he was an attorney.
I was astonished the neighbor had agreed, but I have no idea of the
financial consideration. Sorry, I don't remember his call, but this may
suggest an approach.
