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 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. Current FEMA mapping shows no Special Flood Hazard Area on the parcel, though local or unmapped drainage can still require review. 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."
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 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 Woodbury 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.
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. 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 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).
On a lot this size, zoning is not the practical limit on house size: the 35% building coverage cap (§24-134(f)(10)) would allow a regulatory maximum of ≈ 1,097,407 sq ft — far more room than any house uses. Site conditions, access, utilities and budget govern what is practical 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. Front setback 50 ft applied — this lot fronts Military Road (Minor Expander, Met Council functional class), a collector or arterial street (§24-134(f)(7)–(9)).
Builder view: Regulatory maximum footprint ≈ 1,097,407 sq ft (bound by the coverage/impervious cap, not by setbacks). Regulation is not the binding constraint at this parcel size. 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. Front setback 50 ft applied — this lot fronts Military Road (Minor Expander, Met Council functional class), a collector or arterial street (§24-134(f)(7)–(9)).
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 9.3% tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate).
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 9.3% 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.
