Shrubs planted around the utility boxes are not required landscaping, if you have met the qualifications below (which everyone should based on their flower beds at the face of the home).
If you don't like them, you can remove them.
However, if you keep them, they must be maintained to shrub height - which is typically around 4' or the bottom edge of your window. The minimum height is 2'.
The utility boxes are typically on the property line. Both neighbors need to maintain these plants.
Design Guidelines, page 12:
Each lot will require one or more native shrubs for every 1000 sq. ft. of lot area placed in the front half of the lot and must be at least 1 gallon or at least 2ft. tall, and grow to a height of at least 2 ft.
Landscaping shall be maintained in an attractive manner. Curb appeal assists with maintaining home values.
