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 6 building rules cited to Plymouth City Code §21360.13), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 2 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Plymouth sits in the Wayzata 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. 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. Tree cover is substantial — most of the lot sits under canopy in the 2015 modeled estimate, so plan for clearing and tree-preservation choices. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Plymouth single-family residential (RSF-2, typical) — Plymouth City Code §21360.13 (Municode Supp. 8 Upd. 2, updated 2026-06-26; codified through Ord. 2026-05) + 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 Plymouth 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.

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. The local ordinance requires a vegetated buffer of 20–67 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer (Plymouth requires a vegetated buffer of 20 to 67 feet depending on the wetland’s quality classification, plus a 15-foot structure setback from the buffer edge — roughly 35 to 82 feet from the wetland itself (Plymouth City Code §21670.05). A delineation and MnRAM classification set the exact figure, and Plymouth’s code states these setbacks take precedence over the district’s ordinary setbacks.) — a delineation and classification set the exact figure. 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.

Buildable footprint allowed ≈ 10,977 sq ft — set by the coverage cap, not by setbacks. The binding limit here is the 30% structural coverage cap (§21360.13): ≈ 10,977 sq ft - smaller than the 17,194 sq ft the setbacks alone would allow. Based on Plymouth single-family residential (RSF-2, typical) — Plymouth City Code §21360.13 (Municode Supp. 8 Upd. 2, updated 2026-06-26; codified through Ord. 2026-05); confirm your parcel's zoning. Base front setback applies — this lot fronts Queensland Lane North (Local Road, Met Council functional class), not an arterial street. Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (100 ft, §21665.04 Subd. 2) — Plymouth shoreland management overlay — Plymouth City Code §21665 (Municode Supp. 8 Upd. 2, updated 2026-06-26); no mapped public water reduced the buildable area here, so the OHWL term does not bind.
Builder view: Conservative uniform inward buffer at the largest applicable setback (25 ft): ≈ 17,194 sq ft (46.8% of lot); coverage cap governs at ≈ 10,977 sq ft. Under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope; edge classification will refine. Resolved setbacks: front 25 ft, side 10 ft, rear 25 ft, corner side 25 ft.

This lot is in a mapped shoreland zone of a Recreational Development-class water: structures must be set back 75 ft (sewered) / 100 ft (unsewered) from the ordinary high water line (§21665.04 Subd. 2). The OHWL location comes from a survey, not a map.
Builder view: Shoreland zone — DNR class Recreational Development. structures must be set back 75 ft (sewered) / 100 ft (unsewered) from the ordinary high water line (§21665.04 Subd. 2). Bluff and shoreland-impervious standards may also apply; OHWL per survey.
This lot reads as wooded — about 70.8% of it sits under tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate). Expect real trees, and real tree-clearing decisions.
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 70.8% of parcel area (Wooded; 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.
