Getting back to the OP, I believe that we're confusing two different code requirements.
The first would require a receptacle on the deca, if the deck is large enough.
The second - for outside receptacles to the building - applies only to 'grade level.' If one were to be requires on the door-ledd 'blind' side, it would be a requirement for the building in general, and not that particular unit.
IMO, there's no actual requirement that the required 'front' and 'rear' receptacles be on opposite sides of the building; I would allow them to be in the areas where they are likely to be usefull. (I admit that I'm very free in my interpretation here). I accept that it's possible for a particular site, by either design or geography, to make the 'opposite sides' idea absurd.
Nor does it help that -again - the illustration in the NEC handbook is in direct contradiction with its' caption.
