Potential build site — identified from county GIS · as of 7/21/2026
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 5 facts from public records (one of them the 4 building rules cited to Maple Grove City Code §36-295), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 3 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Maple Grove sits in the Osseo 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. 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. Tree cover is substantial — most of the lot sits under canopy in the 2015 modeled estimate, so plan for clearing and tree-preservation choices. We do not yet have data on terrain, water service, and shoreland status — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Maple Grove single-family residential (R-2, typical) — Maple Grove City Code §36-295 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded This parcel is mapped as zoning district R-2 PUD in the city’s published GIS layer. It is in a Planned Unit Development, whose dimensional standards are set by that development’s own approved agreement and may differ from the base district standards shown here. The values shown are the city’s typical single-family district standards, applied to this parcel regardless of its mapped district — confirm the standards for your district with the city. Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Maple Grove ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number.

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 floodway); flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply — confirm with the city and a surveyor.
Builder view: FEMA zone floodway (SFHA) per current NFHL data; floodplain ordinance and base flood elevation requirements apply — elevation certificate and local floodplain review required.
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.
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. The local ordinance requires a vegetated buffer of 20–40 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer (creeks (Elm/Rush/N. Fork Rush/Diamond) 25–50 ft; the district building setback is added on top of the buffer (§36-752(3)); watershed-district variation permitted (§36-752(6))) — a delineation and classification set the exact figure.
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.

Preliminary buildable envelope ≈ 10,717 sq ft (about 28.4% of the lot) — a conservative estimate; the actual buildable area is likely larger once lot edges are classified. The 40% total impervious surface cap (§36-787) allows ≈ 15,159 sq ft, so the setbacks are the binding limit here. That allowance covers house, garage, driveway, patio and walks together, so the house itself will be meaningfully smaller once a driveway is included. Based on Maple Grove single-family residential (R-2, typical) — Maple Grove City Code §36-295 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); confirm your parcel's zoning.
Builder view: Conservative uniform inward buffer at the largest applicable setback (30 ft): ≈ 10,717 sq ft (28.4% of lot). Under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope; edge classification will refine. Resolved setbacks: front 25 ft, side 5 ft, rear 30 ft, corner side 15 ft. The 40% total impervious surface cap (§36-787) allows ≈ 15,159 sq ft, so the setbacks are the binding limit here.

This lot is near a mapped public water, but its shoreland classification is not available in the current dataset — shoreland setbacks remain unresolved (never guessed); confirm with the DNR and the city.
Builder view: Within statutory shoreland distance of a public water with no available DNR management class; OHWL/bluff/impervious standards unresolved — confirm the classification before design.
This lot reads as wooded — about 52.5% of it sits under tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate). Expect real trees, and real tree-clearing decisions.
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 52.5% of parcel area (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.
