Accounting for natural, undisturbed vegetation

We have a natural creek with undisturbed vegetation growing on both sides as part of our project boundary, and I was wondering if the calculation is the same for plantings on site?

If the project team plans to install vegetated roof, can they earn both credits (SSc5 and SSc7.2) provided the installation meets the required area for landscaping?

Tall Fescue - Native and Low-water for Area...Meet Requirement?

The credit requires Native/Adaptive vegetation, and turf seems out of the question. However, what if we use a turf variety that is Native with an addition of Low-water too?

5% path

How can we set the form to achieve the 5% of the total site area as described in the reference guide. Because in LEED online, it's the 25% path set as default.
