It's ORS4 /1496 .. it's a 5 page document that does not define the word 'structure'. Interestingly there is also no reference to "RULES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES'

Ahh, but it is an exception to
CHAPTER 1
Protection of persons and property
SERA.3101 Negligent or reckless operation of aircraft
An aircraft shall not be operated in a negligent or reckless manner so as to endanger life or property of others.
SERA.3105 Minimum heights
Except when necessary for take-off or landing, or except by permission from the competent authority, aircraft shall not be flown over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open-air assembly of persons, unless at such a height as will permit, in the event of an emergency arising, a landing to be made without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. The minimum heights for VFR flights shall be those specified in SERA.5005(f) and minimum levels for IFR flights shall be those specified in SERA.5015(b).
