We have a tower next to a commercial building, I think it's a 45 or 50 ft probably Rohn 45G. It is near a smallish regional airport but pretty much 90 degrees to the runway. We need to swap out the 5 GHz backhaul links on this tower for licensed. The frequency coordinator is telling us that a

I doubt it will be much of an issue. It may already be on the approach charts and factored into the airport approaches already even without an ASR. The process will take some time but I wouldn’t expect it to be a big deal. Go to www.airnav.com , look up the airport. S

First study up on the allowable tower heights and distances from the runway. If it is in violation just keep your mouth shut. As I recall the slopes are worse off the ends but I have a faulty memory. If you are under the inverted cone with clearance you can file and you will get it, but you m

Part of the ASR is frequency coordination with the airport. As long as you're not actually causing a hazard to air traffic they'll most likely approve it. If they don't approve it, I'm not sure what the process is. However at 45-50 ft, the chances of them caring about the height is so close to
