.37 acre
must be some expensive real estate in your city. in instances like these, we usually see one of the adjacent neighbors owning that lot.
living on a lot or in a neighborhood without trees is cruel and unusual to me.

You might find the opposite problem. The city might throw a fit if you do cut them down. Better make sure they can't fine you for it first.

I already confirmed with the city that I can take them down. I’d like to be able to keep one but it will depend on the architect and arborist. Definitely cannot keep both

From the looks of the property, I’d bet most, if not all of the 17 neighboring houses would probably disagree with you.

Another thing to consider if you haven’t already, is the dirt work you’re going to need after removing those trees. Also, that property looks like it would be a nightmare for drainage.

I walked it when it was raining hard a few weeks ago. Didn’t see any issues with drainage. But that is a good idea. Found my lot eh?

We had to at about $3500. It was just too close to the house. I hated doing it.
ETA - it would have eventually messed up the house.

There are some sawyers that will take the trunk off your hands for you, so you would not pay from disposal.
Live Oak while being a hard and good looking wood, it gums up woodworking equipment, so it will never be commercial. But if you are making slab furniture, it's a pretty cool slab to make something out of.
