Thanks for your question, Don! Here's a link to the zoning bylaw <https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/98250/Lincoln-ADU_Bylaw_Draft_7-for-contd-Public-Hearing-03112025-FINAL> passed at Town Meeting last weekend, and section 14.4.2 "Access and Parking" includes this language:
*Adequate provision shall be made for ingress and egress to the Protected Use ADU from the outside of the structure or by a separate entrance through an entry hall or corridor shared with the Principal Dwelling as required by the Building Code.* I'd suggest reaching out to the building department <https://www.lincolntown.org/242/Building-Engineering> for clarification on your specific situation. Looking forward to seeing anyone else who can make it this afternoon at 4! -Jess On Fri, Apr 4, 2025 at 5:23 PM Donald seckler <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I won’t be able to make Sunday, but a question: does an ADU have to have > two separate doors to the outside of the house? > > Thanks. > Don Seckler > > Sent via cell > > On Apr 4, 2025, at 4:54 PM, Jessica Packineau <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > Jeannine and I welcome you to our office at 152 Lincoln Road THIS Sunday > at 4 pm for a conversation about Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)! > > ADUs can provide rental income, intergenerational housing, and flexibility > for aging in place.
