There are a number of "reasonable accommodation" laws which probably
what was used here.  I'm not sure if 45' falls under "reasonable
accommodation" but its sure worth a shot.  There is also the unwritten
"rule of incrementalism".  Get a modest 20-25' tower up and then inch
it up to 30'.  A couple of years later 35' until you reach your
desired height or hit a hard spot with the HOA.

There are a few LPDA's for V/UHF out there.  Cushcraft used to have
one.  KMA has a couple, I'll have to go through my links page
http://ka5cvh.com/radio/product_links.htm and see if I find any more.
