Put it in the middle of the yard.  If the XYL don't like it,  tell her 
what you said here for your reasoning.  If she don't like 
it....well.....get over it. 
I personally do NOT comprehend why anyone doing Ham stuff would move 
into a antenna restricted environment.  But thats your choice I reckon.
I would research all the applicable rules/regulations/laws....then if 
your height is exempt....don't rock the boat. 
If the old crab complains.......well....so what?  No legal grounds...no 
problem.
