I want you to start with the idea that I'm an idiot, but don't those exist to be a fire escape from the basement? Wouldn't filling it in negate that, or at least make it more difficult? Again, idiot that lives in the state with the water line two inches below the ground (Florida), which prevents us from making basements.
If that's not true, maybe you'll get someone that comes here to tell me how wrong I am, and gives you great ideas to do with the 'not fire escape'.
Don't worry you have a very valid concern! However there are 3 other fire escapes on the basement floor, making mine technically not a mandatory fire escape. But even so I don't see how stepping on plants would prevent me from exiting the window and using the ladder
The point of a fire escape is to have a point of exit if the other fire escapes are not available. Just because you have others does not mean that particular one can be used for other purposes.
