consider a quad? They work well at relatively low height, and a 2el quad
has about the same gain as a 3el yagi (and much more gain than a 3el
trapped yagi).
There are some downsides to quads. Being 3 dimensional, they can be
harder to put up in the first place, and to keep up! Also if the quad
boom is at 35 it will mean that any wire antennas on the tower will have
to be about 8ft lower.

and feed it on the side for vertical polarization and you would be creaming
tribanders at 3x height.
