Data confidence
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 4 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.
- What we know
- 4 documented signals (building rules (cited), parcel boundary, jurisdiction, market status) — each carries its source and as-of date below.
- What we estimate
- 2 modeled values (preliminary setback envelope (uniform conservative buffer — edges not classified), sewer proximity (estimated)) — modeled, not measured; treat as screening only.
- What needs verification
- 8 items only a professional or the city can confirm — the full checklist is below.
- Rules basis
- 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 — 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 Woodbury ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number.
Plain-English summary
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. 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."

What we estimate
Modeled or preliminary — useful for screening, not decisions.
What you must verify
Professional and municipal confirmations before you build.
- Boundary survey (a recorded GIS boundary is not a survey)
- Wetland delineation by a certified delineator
- Soil borings & septic feasibility (if no municipal sewer)
- Utility connection points, capacity and SAC/WAC fees with the city or utility
- Permit eligibility and any overlay/PUD conditions with the jurisdiction
- Easements, covenants and title work
- Final setbacks and buildable area per the current local ordinance
- Actual construction cost from builder quotes

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.
The details
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.
- Zone boundary is map-scale; a surveyed elevation governs.

Wetland indicators
! ConcernMapped 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.
The details
Builder view: NWI/PWI overlap present — a SCREENING constraint, not a delineated boundary; a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions. WCA/LGU review applies if impacts are proposed.
- Screening-level mapping only; field conditions govern.

Sanitary sewer
i Info ModeledPublic utilities may be available nearby; connection location & fees require confirmation
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
The details
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.
- Sewer service state: Inside planned regional wastewater service area — not a sewer connection
- Service-area membership is modeled from regional GIS, not utility records.
- Without a municipal sewer connection, an on-site septic system (SSTS) is required, including a primary and alternate drainfield site (regional/state screening default (unverified) — not the local ordinance; verify with the jurisdiction).

Setback & frontage envelope
i InfoOn 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 ≈ 381,150 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. Conditional setback unresolved: front/rear/corner side become 50 ft where the lot abuts a collector or arterial street (§24-134(f)(7)–(9)) — this parcel's abutting street could not be classified, so the base value is shown.
The details
Builder view: Regulatory maximum footprint ≈ 381,150 sq ft (bound by the coverage/impervious cap, not by setbacks). Regulation is not the binding constraint at this parcel size.

- Regulatory maximum — not a suggested or typical house size.
- Confidence is limited by: the zoning district is assumed (the city’s typical single-family district), not verified for this parcel.

This lot is outside mapped shoreland zones — no public water within 1,000 ft (lake) or 300 ft (watercourse) in the current DNR screening.
The details
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.
