UST Advisory Committee OKs Design for wider Finn Street

WSNAC approved the plan to widen Finn Street. Finn will be widened to 36 feet; a 'normal' street is 32 feet in width. There will be a center turn lane added. Finn is being widened in anticipation of the increased traffic along Cretin from UST's new parking ramp (under construction) and proposed student center.

Article from 1/29/2009 Villager, by Jane McClure (click on article to enlarge):


Finn Street is a north-south street located halfway between Cretin and Cleveland. It extends between Summit and Randolph (the campuses of UST and St. Kate's to the South interrupt the street). Here's a Google Map showing Summit Ave. and Finn St. (click on article to enlarge):

340 Summit New Construction: Garage Variance

The home at 340 Summit was built in 1894. It features a limestone facade and was designed by Allen Stem. The home was recently featured in the Minneapolis Luxury Realestate blog.

The owners have applied for permits to construct a 1300 sf garage behind the house, accessible from Summit via the existing driveway. Two variances are being sought: a side setback variance of 4 or 5 feet, and a square footage variance. The maximum permitted size for a garage is 1000 sf; 1300 is being proposed.
