In some jurisdictions, if you stay below 12 feet above the roofline, the 
regulatory hassles are much fewer. If your house is 18 ft tall at the 
roofline, then 30 ft might be a sweet spot.

On a related note.. if you're looking for something that is very low 
profile visually, what about something like the Spiderbeam.

It's really a portable antenna, but it's also just wires and some cross 
members.  Sort of like an amateur antenna version of a "Hills Hoist"
