Data confidence
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 5 facts from public records (one of them the 5 building rules cited to Lakeville City Code §11-52-13), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 3 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
What we know
5 documented signals (building rules (cited), parcel boundary, jurisdiction, mapped zoning and 1 more) — each carries its source and as-of date below.
What we estimate
2 modeled values (preliminary setback envelope, sewer proximity (estimated)) — modeled, not measured; treat as screening only.
What needs verification
8 items only a professional or the city can confirm — the full checklist is below.
Rules basis
Lakeville RS-3 district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-52-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 97, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded — This parcel is mapped as zoning district RS-3 in the city’s published GIS layer. Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Lakeville ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number.
Plain-English summary
This parcel in Lakeville sits in the Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) school district. Part of the parcel is mapped in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply. Wetland indicators overlap the parcel in screening data — a field delineation is the next step, since mapped lines are not legal boundaries. 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 and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."

What we estimate
Modeled or preliminary — useful for screening, not decisions.
Preliminary setback envelopeWhether 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 (10 ft) it holds ≈ 663 sq ft, about 2.7% of the lot; with the largest (100 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 Lakeville RS-3 district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-52-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 97, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01); confirm your parcel's zoning. Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (100 ft, §11-102-13) — Lakeville Shoreland Overlay District — Lakeville City Code §11-102-13 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); measured from the mapped water edge (DNR Public Waters Inventory) — an approximation, not the surveyed ordinary high water line.

Wetland indicators
!Concern
Mapped wetland/public-water indicators overlap this parcel. This is a screening result, not a confirmed legal boundary — a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions.
The details
Builder view: NWI/PWI overlap present — a SCREENING constraint, not a delineated boundary; a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions. The local ordinance requires a vegetated buffer of 17–50 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer — a delineation and classification set the exact figure. WCA/LGU review applies if impacts are proposed.

Sanitary sewer
iInfoModeled

Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
The details
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.
Sewer service state: Inside planned regional wastewater service area — not a sewer connection
Service-area membership is modeled from regional GIS, not utility records.
Without a municipal sewer connection, an on-site septic system (SSTS) is required, including a primary and alternate drainfield site (regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction).
Water service: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. water service not documented

The answer is somewhere in the shaded band — 2.7% of the lot at its widest. Neither end is a measurement of this lot; the paragraph below says what would settle it.
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 (10 ft) it holds ≈ 663 sq ft, about 2.7% of the lot; with the largest (100 ft) applied to every edge instead, none.

Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (100 ft, §11-102-13) — Lakeville Shoreland Overlay District — Lakeville City Code §11-102-13 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); measured from the mapped water edge (DNR Public Waters Inventory) — an approximation, not the surveyed ordinary high water line.
The details
Builder view: Uniform inward buffer: EMPTY at the largest applicable setback (100 ft), ≈ 663 sq ft (2.7% of lot) at the smallest (10 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 30 ft, side 10 ft, rear 30 ft, corner side 20 ft.

Neither bound is a measurement of this lot: no edge is classified as front, side or rear, so the smaller figure over-states and the larger under-states.
