A phone call to the FAA will usually net you an informal answer right away.
I've gone through this with proposed lighting for a football field
overlooking an airport and the formal letter only took a few weeks.

Subject: [TowerTalk] antenna heights and the FAA/FCC
I'm moving to Texas and have found a house that suits most of our needs with
one exception - the same one that KEEPS ruling out property unfortunately in
this "rules and regulation" age... anyway the house is 4554M from the
nearest airport - and according to TOWAIR the tower I WANT to have is 55'
too tall (160' tower). So I have to register the tower with the FCC... but
to do that I have to have a "no hazards" declaration from the FAA!
This sounds like a LONG process and possibly one that will fail in the end.
If I can't put up the tower I want on this land (over 7 acres) then I've no
need for that much land... so - I would love to hear from those that have
gone through this process. How does one get a "no hazards" declaration? How
likely is it to get one? How long of a process? Then what about the fcc
registration - is that just a matter of doing it or is there also a chance
of getting shot down there as well (i.e. is it only the FAA that I have to
worry about or both)?
I'm aware of the rules regarding slopes etc and intervening objects of which
there are none. I'd really like to know this is a "done-deal" type of thing
BEFORE making an offer in the next few weeks - if at all possible.
Informed help would be greatly appreciated.
