Re: Service Mask Head under Eaves
Exceptions to the 10' mentioned could exist. We can't see the ground in your shot. If the driveway is under that drip loop, it should be 12'. If there's a pool, the distance to the service connection is 22.5' in any direction.

Re the rest of the discussion: the local utility does't always follow the NEC. But I have interpreted the clearance rules as follows.

mast must be within four feet of the edge of the roof
min 8' IF the roof has a slope < 4:12
min 3' if slope is >/= 4:12
service min 3' from any attachment to the house or opening in the envelope from which one could touch the service.

Understand that the section is complex and this is my dumbed down version. If I am in error, I have a feeling someone will let me know.
