Kent County Code Article XXIV requires: 1. A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding. 2. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. 3. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other covering or devices, provided they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters.
