So, my 30 footer which is about 3 miles from our local airport, 1/4 mile from a hospital heliport, is less than half the height of nearby trees, also about 3/4 of the height of the power poles, street lights, and shorter than nearby 2 story houses, is considered OK.  I don't think the FAA needs to investigate my tower.  Plus, I'm not in an HOA to be pestered by either.  

It's a miracle that I get out at all with all the obstructions in the way.

EJ,

Here is the real meat and potatoes for radio tower height when in proximity to an airport. 
This is not an FCC regulation but found in the FAA regulations Part 77 Section 9 Subsection B.

Hope this is helpful!

Does anybody know the restrictions on tower height within 4 miles of an airport? Thanks.
