I think the important aspect here is that any such tower more than 200 
feet AGL, or considerably lower in proximity to an airport will end up on 
the aeronautical charts, so that flying aircraft have sufficient 
information to avoid them.

Naturally, if the tower is close or tall enough to cause distruption to 
an approach / departure path, it is conceivable such an installation 
would be disallowed.
