Yikes! Giant Arborvitae Misplaced?

A few years ago, a landscaper planted 3 green giant arborvitae within 2 ft of my fence and 5 ft apart. See pix. He planted them there in response to our request for some privacy. They are doing very well. Today, I looked up on the web and found to my dismay that they can grow to 60 ft tall and 20 ft wide! I had faith in that he knew what he was doing. Also, seems that the small weeping cherry is doomed.
The yard is small and now I think I might have to cut them down before they become hard to handle, and find something not quite as forest-like. Do I have anything to worry about? Will they get that BIG? Any comments?
