If you report the departing traffic in sight, you can maintain visual
separation, and the controller can use non-standard separation. Another
option is the controller can have you both (or all) in sight, and he
can provide instructions to you to avoid a conflict.

How much separation is required by the tower for a/c taking off and
landing?
I was in position and holding on 34 at Asheville, NC (AVL) today,
with a
plane on final, me in position and holding, and a 182 in front of me
taking
off. Before his wheels left the runway, I was cleared for take-off. I
didn't
feel that it was any safety issue on an 8000' runway, but it struck
me as
something to ask about here, especially since I was the sandwich meat
in the
middle.
