Computed from county parcel and map data, as of October 2026. Screening only, not a survey. Sources: Met Council road centerlines (2026-10-08), Generalized Land Use 2025 and active railroads; the regional parcel dataset (2026-07-20); NWI wetlands and DNR public waters; the UMN 2015 1-m tree canopy. Elevation: the MN DNR LiDAR 1 m bare-earth elevation model (metro collection, validated October 2012), data contributed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Walkout and lookout potential are a builder rule of thumb, not a survey.
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 5 facts from public records (one of them the 5 building rules cited to Chanhassen City Code §20-615(f); corner §20-908(c)), 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 Chanhassen sits in the Eastern Carver County Public Schools (ISD 112) 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. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Chanhassen single-family residential (RSF, typical) — Chanhassen City Code §20-615 (MunicipalCodeOnline; no global currency date — per-section history only; retrieved 2026-07-25) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded This parcel is mapped as zoning district A2 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 Chanhassen ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number. Chanhassen’s code host publishes no “current through” date and warns it may not reflect the most current legislation; values carry their own per-section amendment dates where the host shows one.

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.
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 16.5–50 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer (Chanhassen requires a vegetated buffer of 16.5 to 50 feet depending on the wetland’s MnRAM classification, plus a 15 to 50 foot setback from the buffer edge — for a Manage 1 wetland that is 25 feet of buffer plus 30 feet of setback, about 55 feet from the wetland edge to the house (Chanhassen City Code §20-411). Lots created before May 14, 2007 follow an older rule with a 40-foot minimum. A delineation and MnRAM classification set the exact figure.) — a delineation and classification set the exact figure. WCA/LGU review applies if impacts are proposed.

Room for a typical house: yes. This is acreage, not a single homesite. Setbacks leave about 7.2 acres buildable, and the 25% total impervious surface cap (§20-485(a)) also limits the house, garage, driveway and paving together — far more than any house uses, so zoning is not the practical limit here. Site conditions, access, utilities and budget govern what is practical. Based on Chanhassen single-family residential (RSF, typical) — Chanhassen City Code §20-615 (MunicipalCodeOnline; no global currency date — per-section history only; retrieved 2026-07-25); confirm your parcel's zoning. Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (150 ft, §20-481(a)) — Chanhassen shoreland management — Chanhassen City Code Art. 20-VII, §§20-476–20-490 (MunicipalCodeOnline; retrieved 2026-07-25); measured from the mapped water edge (DNR Public Waters Inventory basin delineation, retrieved 2026-08-08) — an approximation, not the surveyed ordinary high water line.
Builder view: Regulatory maximum footprint ≈ 161,609 sq ft — the legal ceiling, not a house size (bound by the coverage/impervious cap, not by setbacks). Regulation is not the binding constraint at this parcel size.

This lot is in a mapped shoreland zone of a Natural Environment-class water: structures must be set back 150 ft from the ordinary high water line (§20-481(a)). The OHWL location comes from a survey, not a map.
Builder view: Shoreland zone — DNR class Natural Environment. structures must be set back 150 ft from the ordinary high water line (§20-481(a)). Bluff and shoreland-impervious standards may also apply; OHWL per 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.
