Those trees definitely all looked (from afar) like they would fall under the Tree Regulations. I wonder how they got around that?
A protected size tree is determined by measuring the tree trunk at 4.5 feet above ground. This is commonly known as DBH (diameter at breast height).
A tree within the Austin city limits is protected once it reaches 19 inches. Diameter = Circumference / 3.1416 and Circumference = Diameter X 3.1416.

Take a look at this page, shows which tress were removed and the calculations for replacements based on tree size.
