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. 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. 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. This parcel appears smaller than Plymouth's 12,500 sq ft minimum for the typical single-family district (§21360.13); 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.
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. 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.
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 Wayzata 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 (10 ft) it holds ≈ 1,642 sq ft, about 16.7% of the lot; with the largest (50 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 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. Front setback 50 ft applied — this lot fronts Vicksburg Lane North (Minor Expander, Met Council functional class), an arterial street (§21360.13 note (b)). 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: Uniform inward buffer: EMPTY at the largest applicable setback (50 ft), ≈ 1,642 sq ft (16.7% of lot) at the smallest (10 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 50 ft, side 10 ft, rear 25 ft, corner side 25 ft. 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. Front setback 50 ft applied — this lot fronts Vicksburg Lane North (Minor Expander, Met Council functional class), an arterial street (§21360.13 note (b)). 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.
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 97.1% of it sits under tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate). Expect real trees, and real tree-clearing decisions.
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 97.1% 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.
