Ramsey We allow a ‘version’ of this if there is an internal connection. Door can be locked between two units. Not currently allowed as a completely separated unit or within detached accessory structures. There’s no specific language on it, just how we interpret our existing code. One primary structure/one dwelling per lot is allowed. An internal connection allows us to interpret this as a single dwelling from a code standpoint. There is no physical separation and the parcel must remain a single parcel (as not to have two separate owners). Coon Rapids In a modified form. We do allow additions to houses that contain kitchen, bathroom and living space but they have to have full access to the rest of the house. We do not allow separate second dwelling units. Brooklyn Park They are only allowed in the R4 zoning district under certain lot size requirements. They must be attached to the main house. In other districts, we allow for suites, as long as they are internally connected. Plymouth Very few requests. Plymouth also has a few districts (FRD, RSF-1, and RSF-R) where you can have a caretaker apartment with a separate entrance with an interim use permit (page 5 of Section RSF-1) and I can remember one request for this type of apartment. We’ve also got a couple new mother-in-law suites that are accessed internal to the home (with no separate access). We don’t consider those separate dwellings.
