Potential build site — identified from county GIS
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 3 facts from public records, estimates 2 more from models, relies on 7 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Crystal sits in the Robbinsdale Public School District school district. Current FEMA mapping shows no Special Flood Hazard Area on the parcel, though local or unmapped drainage can still require review. No wetlands are mapped on the parcel in screening data, though small basins can go unmapped and a delineation is still recommended before construction. On utilities, water service is undocumented and sewer service is inside the regional service area — a connection is not confirmed until the city or utility confirms it, so budget time to verify location and fees. We do not yet have data on terrain, water service, and tree canopy — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Regional/state screening defaults (unverified) Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Crystal ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number.
Recorded, authoritative facts.
Modeled or preliminary — useful for screening, not decisions.
Professional and municipal confirmations before you build.
Written for homeowners; open “the details” on any card for the builder view and the raw measurement behind it.
Slope & terrain: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. no slope statistics
Builder view: Slope & terrain: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (no slope statistics); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
No FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area identified on the parcel in the current dataset; local/unmapped drainage may still require review
Builder view: FEMA zone X (outside mapped SFHA) per current NFHL data; local/unmapped drainage and stormwater requirements still apply at design.
No mapped wetland/public-water indicators on this parcel in the current screening datasets; small or unmapped wetlands can still exist — a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions.
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
Builder view: No NWI/PWI overlap in current screening data; datasets under-map small basins — a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions where soils/vegetation suggest hydrology. A 50 ft screening buffer applies (screening default).
Public utilities may be available nearby; connection location & fees require confirmation
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
Builder view: sanitary sewer: inside the regional wastewater service area (MUSA) — membership is a planning designation, NOT a connection at the boundary; timing unknown, confirm staging with the city.
Water service: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. water service not documented
Builder view: Water service: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (water service not documented); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
This parcel is in the Robbinsdale Public School District school district per current boundary data.
Builder view: School district: Robbinsdale Public School District (MDE boundary data; boundaries can change — verify for enrollment decisions).
Whether this lot has a buildable envelope depends on which edge fronts the street, and its edges are not classified yet. Under the smallest setback the rules apply (15 ft) it holds ≈ 1,227 sq ft, about 28.1% of the lot; with the largest (35 ft) applied to every edge instead, none. The true figure is somewhere between those two, and neither is a measurement of this lot's yards — a survey and edge classification decide it. Based on regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction setbacks; confirm your parcel's zoning.
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
Builder view: Uniform inward buffer: EMPTY at the largest applicable setback (35 ft), ≈ 1,227 sq ft (28.1% of lot) at the smallest (15 ft). The uniform buffer at the largest setback under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope and the one at the smallest over-approximates it, so an empty result at the largest supports no claim on its own. Resolved setbacks: front 35 ft, side 15 ft, rear 35 ft, corner side 20 ft. Based on regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction setbacks; confirm your parcel's zoning.
This lot is outside mapped shoreland zones — no public water within 1,000 ft (lake) or 300 ft (watercourse) in the current DNR screening.
Builder view: Not in a DNR PWI shoreland zone per statutory-distance screening; shoreland overlay standards do not apply. Screening-level: the mapped OHWL is not a survey.
Trees & canopy: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. tree-canopy coverage not yet computed
Builder view: Trees & canopy: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (tree-canopy coverage not yet computed); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
