Ornamental grasses can be pretty. They can also get out of control here. Work with a knowledgeable nursery person. You might think about a combination of tall grass and podocarpus for a variety of texture and color. The grasses will get wide. If they’re strict about the 7 ft. Setback, there’s not much space and it may be a challenge to prevent plant material from encroaching.
I honestly don’t know how you’re going to avoid plants very close to the screening if I’m visualizing this accurately. I once had a similar situation. I used Robellini and viburnum, always trimmed so as not to touch the house. I never loved it but adjusted to it. Congratulations on your new house! There are no perfect ones.
