Center (Feed) Point at 15 feet? It will work reasonably well, but not even close to one that is installed higher. You can install the legs at right angles to the other, but you can not install them side by side as indicated by the blue lines in your drawing.

I wouldn't worry about those power lines too much, and with your limitations you might be better off to consider a vertical or even a loop.
I had a chance for a butternut hf-9v with 160 resonator for $60.. but the 26ft tall stick got shot down real quick by the house owner.

my problem is, I get 1 pole (20ft no higher) everything else will have to be tied to a tree or something already on property. id love to tie to the trees to my east but they are not on property and well no way that guy would give me permission to tie anything off to it.

i have to keep it high enough where a truck can drive back there without pulling anything down. which leaves me 2 trees. 1 is to close the other is right distance (where blue is going) and the final 2 are IMO to close to power lines then I really want to mess with.

I can run 1 leg to the tree but it forces me having to take the other leg west tward the P-Lines to a stink pipe on the house then turning sharply back east to the wooden pole that supports my 2.4ghz wifi beam. and im not sure I can fit a 60ft leg in that short of space
