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 Woodbury City Code §24-134(f)(7)–(9)), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 2 unverified screening defaults, carries 1 rule sourced as delegated to the watershed district (municipal floor only), and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Woodbury sits in the South Washington County Schools 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. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Woodbury single-family residential (R-4, typical) — Woodbury City Code §24-134(f) (Municode Supp. 48, updated 2026-07-06; codified through Ord. 2078) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded This parcel is mapped as zoning district R-4 in the city’s published GIS layer. 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 Woodbury ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number. This parcel appears smaller than Woodbury's 10,000 sq ft minimum for the typical single-family district (§24-134(f)(1)b, (f)(2)); lots of record platted before the standard took effect may still be buildable - confirm with the city.
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 A); flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply — confirm with the city and a surveyor.
Builder view: FEMA zone A (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.
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 South Washington County Schools school district per current boundary data.
Builder view: School district: South Washington County Schools (MDE boundary data; boundaries can change — verify for enrollment decisions).
After required setbacks, roughly 2,246 sq ft remains buildable — preliminary, not an approval or survey. The 35% building coverage cap (§24-134(f)(10)) allows ≈ 2,744 sq ft, so the setbacks are the binding limit here. Based on Woodbury single-family residential (R-4, typical) — Woodbury City Code §24-134(f) (Municode Supp. 48, updated 2026-07-06; codified through Ord. 2078); confirm your parcel's zoning. Base front setback applies — this lot fronts Blake Way (Local Road, Met Council functional class), not a collector or arterial street.
Builder view: Setback envelope ≈ 2,246 sq ft (front 35 ft, side 10 ft, rear 35 ft, corner side 20 ft); preliminary planar computation — not an approval or survey.

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 mostly open — about 0% tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate).
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 0% of parcel area (Mostly open; 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.
