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 Lakeville City Code §11-47-13), 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 Lakeville sits in the Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) 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. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Lakeville RA district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-47-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 94, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded This parcel is mapped as zoning district RA in the city’s published GIS layer. Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Lakeville ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number. This parcel appears smaller than Lakeville's 435,600 sq ft minimum for its mapped RA district (§11-47-13); lots of record platted before the standard took effect may still be buildable - confirm with the city.
Recorded, authoritative facts.
Modeled or preliminary — useful for screening, not decisions.
Professional and municipal confirmations before you build.
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 17–50 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer — 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.
This parcel is in the Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) school district per current boundary data.

Buildable footprint allowed ≈ 5,301 sq ft — set by the coverage cap, not by setbacks. The binding limit here is the 25% total impervious surface cap (§11-102-13(F)): ≈ 5,301 sq ft - smaller than the 7,259 sq ft the setbacks alone would allow. That allowance covers house, garage, driveway, patio and walks together, so the house itself will be meaningfully smaller once a driveway is included. Based on Lakeville RA district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-47-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 94, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01); confirm your parcel's zoning. Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (100 ft, §11-102-13) — Lakeville Shoreland Overlay District — Lakeville City Code §11-102-13 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); 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 (30 ft): ≈ 7,259 sq ft (34.2% of lot); coverage cap governs at ≈ 5,301 sq ft. Under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope; edge classification will refine. Resolved setbacks: front 30 ft, side 20 ft, rear 30 ft, corner side 30 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 (§11-102-13). 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 (§11-102-13). Bluff and shoreland-impervious standards may also apply; OHWL per survey.
This lot is mostly open — about 2.5% tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate).
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 2.5% 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.
