Potential build site — identified from county GIS
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 4 facts from public records (one of them the 3 building rules cited to Rogers City Code §125-55 Tables 6–10 (most restrictive of the five residential districts)), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 4 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Rogers sits in the Elk River Public School District school district. Current FEMA mapping shows no Special Flood Hazard Area on the parcel, though local or unmapped drainage can still require review. 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, water service, and tree canopy — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Rogers Residential Districts — Rogers City Code §125-55 Tables 6–10 (Municode/CivicPlus, api.municode.com client 15597 product 17241 job 499656; code currency Ord. No. 2026-13 enacted 2026-07-14, Supp. No. 3 Update 3; section history Ord. No. 2026-04, § 2, 4-14-2026; retrieved 2026-08-17) + 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 Rogers ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number. Rogers assigns setbacks by residential district, and this product does not yet know which district each parcel is in. The figures shown are the most restrictive of the city's five residential districts, so the buildable area may be larger than shown; confirm your parcel's district 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.
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.
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.
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
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. A 50 ft screening buffer applies (screening default).
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 Elk River Public School District school district per current boundary data.
Builder view: School district: Elk River Public School District (MDE boundary data; boundaries can change — verify for enrollment decisions).
Preliminary buildable envelope ≈ 3,765 sq ft (about 22.6% of the lot) — a conservative estimate; the actual buildable area is likely larger once lot edges are classified. The 75% total impervious surface cap (§125-55 Tables 6–10 a.2 Lot Coverage (75% in every residential district)) allows ≈ 12,415 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 Rogers Residential Districts — Rogers City Code §125-55 Tables 6–10 (Municode/CivicPlus, api.municode.com client 15597 product 17241 job 499656; code currency Ord.

Builder view: Conservative uniform inward buffer at the largest applicable setback (30 ft): ≈ 3,765 sq ft (22.6% of lot). Under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope; edge classification will refine. Resolved setbacks: front 30 ft, side 15 ft, rear 25 ft, corner side 30 ft.

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.
Trees & canopy: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. tree-canopy coverage not yet computed
Builder view: Trees & canopy: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (tree-canopy coverage not yet computed); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
