Fly around it..... You're not IMC - what's the problem
If you approach and pass it 500m out at 50kt, you have around 40 seconds before the hover at the ground. That's loads of time to have flown around it 40 seconds out and re-established the approach, even assuming it's directly downwind at the time.

On departure, you'll meet it about 40 seconds out. Assuming there is viz, there's a high probability that you'll be able to figure out how not to hit it.
