Potential build site — identified from county GIS · as of 7/21/2026
Platted as an outlot. County records plat this parcel as Outlot A of COPPER RIDGE 9TH ADDITION. An outlot is a platted remnant — commonly stormwater, common area, or land held back for a future subdivision. We searched Woodbury’s code in full and it does not restrict building permits on an outlot, so no city prohibition applies here that we can find. That is not a permit: confirm with the city before treating this parcel as a building site. Read the ordinance (as we read it on 2026-08-07).
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.
Recorded, authoritative facts.
Modeled or preliminary — useful for screening, not decisions.

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).
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 ≈ 82,328 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 Pioneer Drive (Major Collector, Met Council functional class), a collector or arterial street (§24-134(f)(7)–(9)).
Builder view: Regulatory maximum footprint ≈ 82,328 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 Pioneer Drive (Major Collector, 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 2.8% tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate).
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 2.8% 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.
