(a) Any construction or alteration that is more than 200 ft. AGL at its site."

This appears to be a requirement for notification not a requirement for approval. Clearly FAA was aware since a NOTAM was issued.

I have yet to see any images that show anything like an "aviation marker". Please post if you have any such image.
Perhaps FAA were aware and issued the NOTAM but did anyone visit the site to confirm adequate and visible markings were in place?
