I believe any tree that is a detriment to the house (not sure of the exact distance)or has become infested with bugs, struck by lightning, diseased, etc, etc, is allowed to be cut.
Most area tree cutters such as Cort Kelly of Arbortech are very familiar with the requirements of which ones are OK to cut and which ones you can't. Cort will normally take pictures of trees he is cutting in case an issue arises later on...
