Oh, ok.

Give her a single stem Japanese Stewartia and prune it up as it gets older. You'll maintain the view to the door and it is 'fairly' slow growing.

Nice bark in the winter, tight habit that won't spread too wide, camellia like flowers in June-July. I'd still plant it as far from the sidewalk as I could.

Come to think of it, I have one in front of my house in almost the same position. I planted it three years ago and I'm already thinking about moving it or limbing it up.
