That's a good link, but it is the FCC version of the FAA calculator. It
might be more convincing to use the FAA "No Notice Required Tool", which
is at:
https://www.oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/gisTools/gisAction.jsp?action=showNoNoticeRequiredToolForm
The text of the standard FAA regulations that specifies setbacks from
airports, etc is at:
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/12feb20041500/edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2004/janqtr/14cfr77.13.htm
The above link is part of a broader set of regulations found here:
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_04/14cfr77_04.html
If you were located such that you were required to give notice, or if
the FAA should for any reason want you to give notice of your intent to
erect a tower, you would do so by filing FAA Form 7460-1 available at:
http://forms.faa.gov/forms/faa7460-1.pdf
I just went through the same thing last month, and I wouldn't know any
of the stuff above if it weren't for the help of several fine people who
responded to my call for help on the local club reflector. I also live
25 miles from the nearest airport ... up against a mountain that would
take out any airplane before my tower would. My local county zoning
office insisted that I supply a "letter from the FAA" saying that I
wouldn't infringe upon any airspace or special flight plans, even though
the complete FAA regulations are quoted verbatim in the county's own
zoning regulations. When I asked the zoning folks where I would get
such a letter or what it would look like, they literally had no idea. I
ended up simply coming back with a hard copy of the regulations and a
printout of the "No Notice Required Tool" from the FAA website and I got
my permit within a few days.
Good luck es 73,
