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 §125-54 Table 5 (AG) and §125-55 Tables 6–9 (R1–R4), most restrictive of the districts that permit a single-family dwelling by right under §125-50 Table 4), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 5 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 Zoning Districts — Rogers City Code §125-50 Table 4, §125-54 Table 5 and §125-55 Tables 6–10 (Municode/CivicPlus, api.municode.com client 15597 product 17241 job 499656; code currency Ord.

No. 2026-04, 4-14-2026; retrieved 2026-10-01) + 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 zoning district, and this product does not yet know which district each parcel is in. The figures shown are the most restrictive of the districts where a single-family home is permitted, so the buildable area may be larger than shown; confirm your parcel’s district with the City. This parcel appears smaller than Rogers's 10,000 sq ft minimum for the typical single-family district (§125-55(b) Table 7. R2 - SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL); lots of record platted before the standard took effect may still be buildable - confirm with the city.

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.

Whether this lot has a buildable envelope depends on which edge fronts the street, and its edges are not classified yet. Under the smallest setback the rules apply (20 ft) it holds ≈ 1,200 sq ft, about 12.3% of the lot; with the largest (40 ft) applied to every edge instead, none. The true figure is somewhere between those two, and neither is a measurement of this lot's yards — a survey and edge classification decide it. Based on Rogers Zoning Districts — Rogers City Code §125-50 Table 4, §125-54 Table 5 and §125-55 Tables 6–10 (Municode/CivicPlus, api.municode.com client 15597 product 17241 job 499656; code currency Ord.

Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (150 ft) — regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction; no mapped public water reduced the buildable area here, so the OHWL term does not bind.
Builder view: Uniform inward buffer: EMPTY at the largest applicable setback (40 ft), ≈ 1,200 sq ft (12.3% of lot) at the smallest (20 ft). The uniform buffer at the largest setback under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope and the one at the smallest over-approximates it, so an empty result at the largest supports no claim on its own. Resolved setbacks: front 30 ft, side 20 ft, rear 40 ft, corner side 30 ft.

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 (regional screening default). 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 — regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction. Bluff and shoreland-impervious standards may also apply; OHWL per survey.
