Is a wood deck part of the "building footprint"?

The deck is not under a roof overhang. It is raised above the ground a foot or so, and I believe there is grass underneath.

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?
