Potential build site — identified from county GIS · as of 7/21/2026
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 4 facts from public records (one of them the 5 building rules cited to Plymouth City Code §21360.13), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 2 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Plymouth sits in the Wayzata Public School District 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. The lot is partially wooded in the 2015 modeled estimate — some tree cover to work with, some open ground. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Plymouth single-family residential (RSF-2, typical) — Plymouth City Code §21360.13 (Municode Supp. 8 Upd. 2, updated 2026-06-26; codified through Ord. 2026-05) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded City values shown are for the typical single-family district — per-parcel zoning is not ingested, so confirm your parcel’s specific zoning district with the city. Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Plymouth 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.
Part of this parcel is mapped in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone AE); flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply — confirm with the city and a surveyor.
Builder view: FEMA zone AE (SFHA) per current NFHL data; floodplain ordinance and base flood elevation requirements apply — elevation certificate and local floodplain review required.
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.
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 20–67 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer (Plymouth requires a vegetated buffer of 20 to 67 feet depending on the wetland’s quality classification, plus a 15-foot structure setback from the buffer edge — roughly 35 to 82 feet from the wetland itself (Plymouth City Code §21670.05). A delineation and MnRAM classification set the exact figure, and Plymouth’s code states these setbacks take precedence over the district’s ordinary setbacks.) — a delineation and classification set the exact figure. WCA/LGU review applies if impacts are proposed.
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 Wayzata Public School District school district per current boundary data.

After each edge's own required setback — front to the street edge, rear opposite, sides to the side lines — roughly 11,761 sq ft remains buildable — preliminary, not an approval or survey. The binding limit here is the 30% structural coverage cap (§21360.13): ≈ 11,761 sq ft - smaller than the 27,555 sq ft the setbacks alone would allow. Based on Plymouth single-family residential (RSF-2, typical) — Plymouth City Code §21360.13 (Municode Supp. 8 Upd. 2, updated 2026-06-26; codified through Ord. 2026-05); confirm your parcel's zoning. Base front setback applies — this lot fronts Deerwood Lane North (Local Road, Met Council functional class), not an arterial street.
Builder view: Setbacks applied per edge (front/rear/side identified from parcel geometry and street frontage): envelope ≈ 27,555 sq ft (front 25 ft, side 10 ft, rear 25 ft, corner side 25 ft; 100% of the boundary classified); coverage cap governs at ≈ 11,761 sq ft; preliminary planar computation — not an approval or survey. The binding limit here is the 30% structural coverage cap (§21360.13): ≈ 11,761 sq ft - smaller than the 27,555 sq ft the setbacks alone would allow.

Base front setback applies — this lot fronts Deerwood Lane North (Local Road, Met Council functional class), not an arterial street.
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.
This lot is partially wooded — about 43.6% tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate): some tree cover, some open ground.
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 43.6% of parcel area (Partially wooded; bands: wooded ≥ 50%, partially wooded 20–50%). Source: 2015 UMN 1-m urban tree canopy (deciduous + coniferous classes); verify current conditions on site — clearing, storms and growth since 2015 are not reflected.
