They started a school, traveled to West Virginia to build houses for Habitat for Humanity, created a professional show for a gallery, wrote public policy, not to mention all the individualized projects they have embarked on. So, how could they share a slice of that experience? It was a daunting task but in the last weeks of their high school careers, we asked them to write their “final words.” These words would serve as a farewell to the school, their community and as a keepsake of all they take with them on their next journey.

    Jennifer Munson <[email protected]> Portland's historic Fort Sumner Park 1 message Richard Peterson <[email protected]> Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 10:18 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Elizabeth Boepple, Chair, and Members of the Portland City Planning Board, I write to express my strong support of efforts to limit development near Munjoy Hill’s Fort Sumner Park in order to preserve the park’s spectacular aesthetic value known most powerfully through the view the park provides of our great city, and of the natural magnificence of the Back Bay landscape. It is the only place in Portland that affords such a view for the public and for all those who will continue into the future to call Portland home. It would be a travesty to block access to the beauty the park provides by allowing a single developer and a few tenants to claim for themselves what is now enjoyed by all. Please find a solution that allows the developer to provide needed housing without stealing away from all of us the pleasure, appreciation, and solace that beautiful landscapes afford.

  • Student Creativity Showcased
    Community e-Newsletter May 2017 STUDENT CREATIVITY SHOWCASED The public is invited to the Annual Portland Public Schools’ Student Art Show, being held at City Hall this month. The artwork of as many as 600 of talented PPS students in kindergarten through grade 12 is on display through Thursday, May 18. The show kicked off with an opening reception on May 5. The artwork is on view whenever City Hall is open. General building hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, but the lobby areas of City Hall will stay open until 7:30 p.m. during the show for the public to enjoy the art. “The public can learn about the creativity, intelligence, artistic abilities and social awareness that our talented students have, and that our great art teachers bring out in our students,” said Chad Hart, Riverton Elementary School art teacher and the Portland Public Schools’ art coordinator. “I think the show is a great way to see the wide array of subject matter, artists and art movements and mediums taught in our schools.” The artwork of PPS students also was on display earlier this year at the Portland Museum of Art during Youth Art Month. Youth Art Month is held each March to emphasize the value of art education and to encourage public support for quality school art programs. PPS students were among about 90 Maine students who had their work selected for display at the museum.

  • Planning Board Report Portland, Maine
    PLANNING BOARD REPORT PORTLAND, MAINE Fort Sumner Park Overlay Ordinance Amendment (Within R-6 Zone) Applicant: City of Portland Submitted to: Portland Planning Board Prepared by: Matthew Grooms, Planner Public Hearing Date: January 17, 2017 Date: January 6, 2016 I. INTRODUCTION In response to Order 73-16/17, which established a 90-day moratorium on developments within the R-6 Residential Zone in District 1 for properties directly abutting a City Park or Public Ground, the City of Portland is seeking a map and text amendment to establish a height overlay zone intended to protect the existing sightlines at Fort Sumner Park. The proposed Fort Sumner Park Overlay Zone encompasses several parcels located within the R-6 Residential zone. Figure 1: Views from Fort Sumner Park at Present. At the present time, one can view Portland’s changing skyline as well as a variety of natural resources from this location, including Casco Bay, Back Cove and portions of the White Mountains. Recent development proposals for a six-story condominium complex at 155 Sheridan Street, have demonstrated the vulnerability of this vista under the current zoning and citywide height overlay. This zoning amendment request is being brought to the Planning Board as a workshop item. The legal ad was posted on the city’s web page and appeared in the Portland Press Herald on January 2 and 3, 2017. Notices were also sent to abutters within 500 linear feet of the proposed overlay zone. II. BACKGROUND Originally, the site of an earth and timber fortification built in 1794, and later designated as a city park in 1934, Fort Sumner Park today constitutes an integral component of the open space portfolio for the Munjoy Hill neighborhood (Attachment 1).
