RE USE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE
GREENSPACE
DATE 7/30/89
The purpose of our -Voyage 2000" project is to promote one's individual and
community responsibility to a peaceful and sustainable future. To
encourage cooperative endeavor, we wish to Work constructively with the
city to create an area set aside to represent these principals. We propose a
landscape project designed to inspire individual and community
developement towards the goals of environmental sustainability.
As discussed, we are interested in pursuing the reclamation of the use
between the fuel -04 contaminated Ian, and the existing park and paved
parking area at the Bangor waterfront. We plan to design and construct an
environmentally sustainable greempace W be made available for public use.
We feel the meet opportune time for this effort to be Saturday and Sunday,
August 26, and 27, 1989.
It would be our intention that once completed, the area be maintained by
the city in a mamer consistent with organic management and planning.
For our pan. Voyage 2000 will provide volunteer labor, and landscape
design expertim to carry out any mutually agreeable site plan decided up=
between the Bangor Community Development Dept. and the Voyage 2000
group.

We would hope that in exchange, the city will supply necessary materials
and equipment to adequately complete the task, and to assist with
appropriate public relations and media communication.
We also hope the city will provide sn additional strip of land (dimension to
be determined according to setback requirements) adjacent to the property
in question, and from the road frontage b the water, to be used as part of
our reclamation proje t.
We wish W acknowledge the existing tasteful and well thought out
landscaping already at this location. With the designer's permission, it is
our desire to augment this work by incorporating it into our expanded site
design and organic management plan.
Should Its need ¢rise, we will be happy to assist In either locating
appropriately trained personal a providing consultation/training far
exLttiag city personal In organic management practices, or provide the
service.
We hope, as a result or our efforts, to establsh a relationship with the city
that Will include an somal volunteer project that in me way or another
addresses the issue of our responsibility to sustainability, and fosters a sense
of community pride and involvement.
