                                             NARRATIVE


               The Cochecho Riverwalk grant award from the New Hampshire Coastal
               Program has acted as a catalyst for the redevelopment of Dover's Cochecho
               Waterfront. The concept of a waterfront park had been advocated numerous

               times for decades but had never come to fruition.



               The grant award announcement sparked the formation of a partnership
               between the City of Dover and the Dover Chamber of Commerce to design
               and fund raise for the project. The design efforts resulted in an expansion in
               the scope of the Cochecho Riverwalk and the grant funded portion of the
               Riverwalk became Phase 1. As construction began on Phase I of the
               Cochecho Riverwalk, a Long Range Planning Committee was formed to
               explore redevelopment of the entire Cochecho River waterfront. It was
               concluded that the City owned land, where the Public Works facility and
               former wastewater treatment plant are located, is the key to the future of
               Dover's waterfront. A design charette was convened to plan the
               redevelopment of the City owned property. Architects, engineers, and land
               planners with waterfront development expertise from New York, Boston, and
               New Hampshire combined with local professionals and citizens spent 2 days
               exchanging ideas. The results of the Charette are two design schemes with
               differing philosophical viewpoints which will require the community to
               ponder its future and the fate of the City owned property. The Charette
               occurred in conjunction with a new Dover Chamber of Commerce event
               called "Riverfest". Riverfest occurred at the site of the newly constructed








                Cochecho Riverwalk. The event was deemed a great success and is being
                scheduled as a Fourth of July celebration next year.


                Fund raising activities are being pursued on three levels. Corporate and
                Business donations, the sale of inscribed brick pavers to be installed in a
                brick walk and plaza, and in-kind services from all segments of the
                community including civic organizations, individuals and businesses.


                When the Cochecho Riverwalk began to take shape in the field, people
                noticed the transformation of Henry Law Park. Enthusiasm.and confidence
                in the idea of a riverwalk grew. Donations began to flow in and the project
                became the topic of discussion at many public meetings. It has brought a
                feeling of optimism for many in Dover.


                The Cochecho Riverwalk project has been the recipient of additional grant
                funds. The New Hampshire Coastal Program awarded $1,400 in left over
                1994 funds for the construction of two picnic shelters and associated
                amenities. The New Hampshire Coastal Fund has also awarded $50,000 in
                matching funds for the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Cochecho
                River for the 1995-199.6 budget cycle.


                The New Hampshire Park and Recreation Division has awarded the City
                $25,000 in matching funds for Phase II of the Cochecho Riverwalk under the
                Land and Water Conservation Fund. Phase 11 extends the walk along the
                Cochecho River to Washington Street, using brick pavers to create a


                                                     2








               boardwalk and plaza element to the project. The same type of landscaping,
               benches, and lighting used in Phase I will be carried through Phase 11. A
               sculpture will serve as a focal point in the brick plaza. construction of Phase
               II will complete the final leg of a half mile pedestrian walk which loops
               around a large river meander and over the Cochecho River adjacent to

               downtown Dover.



               A video has been produced by Continental Cablevision. The video paints a
               rich portrait of Dover's history along the waterfront and a vision for the
               future of that waterfront. The piece by Alex Hertzka and a number of local
               citizens has been airing on local TV during the month of July. A copy of this
               video is included with this report. While it is not a funded part of the grant, it
               certainly would not have been produced had the grant not been funded.


               The success of this project demonstrates that a good idea with a little seed
               money can develop into a wonderful amenity which provides benefits to the
               local economy, the preservation of the natural resource, and the spirit and
               image of a community. The citizens of Dover wish to thank the New
               Hampshire Coastal Program for the grant funding that has propelled an idea
               into a reality that everyone can be proud of.

                                        PROJECT SUMMARY



               Over the past year, several facets of the cochecho Riverwalk project have
               been successfully completed. Public support and various grants have been
               helpful in making these advancements. The finished components of the
               project include; lighting, park benches, landscaping, sidewalks, fencing, a
               canoe launchY and a cantilevered scenic overlook.


               Planning began in March of 19-94. A committee o f City officials and local
               business people from the Dover Chamber of Commerce was established to
               plan and fund raise for the project. The committee reviewed details such as
               walkway location, materials, light fixtures, park bench types, and fund
               raising strategies.


               By July, 1994 proceedings were ready to commence. Dana Lynch from
               Appledore Engineering and Jamie Calderwood, a landscape architect of the
               Calderwood Company, donated their services to create a plan design and
               architectural renderings of the Cochecho Riverwalk. McEneaney Survey
               Associates donated a field crew to locate existing facilities and identify
               topographic relief in critical areas.


               Bid specifications were prepared by the Dover Planning Department and
               Engineering Division for sidewalks, fencing, lighting and landscaping. The
               City Purchasing Agent advertised and awarded the bids. The sidewalk bid
               was awarded to KC Paving of Dover, NH, the fence replacement was


                                                    4









               awarded to Fences Unlimited of Salem, NH, the lighting was awarded to
               CED of Portsmouth, NH, and the fall planting was awarded to Salmon Falls
               Nursery of South Berwick, Maine.


               Mr. Peter Rousseau and Mr. Tim Ayer donated services of general grading,
               stump removal and electrical conduit excavation to initiate construction.
               Tree removal along the river was contracted to Urban Tree Service under a
               City of Dover contract, which is bid on an annual basis. Complications were
               met with when attempting tree removal. The trees had grown through the
               existing chain link fence and were rooted in the existing granite block
               retaining wall. The tree service had to visit the site on three separate
               occasions as the steel fencing in the trees would not allow simple removal
               with chain saws. Rouseau's excavator was employed to remove the trees
               after the fence had been cut away from them. The entire cost of tree removal
               was $1,753.56. Urban Tree Service donated $450.00 to the project.


               The fall of 1994 was quite productive. By September the sidewalk, the
               fencing and the canoe launch were completed. Later in the fall, trees were
               planted and the electrical conduit which supplies power to the lighting
               system was finished. Conversion Products, Inc. of Rochester, NH installed
               five park benches along the walk. The company specializes in recycling
               products, thus the slats of the benches are fashioned from recycled plastic

               containers. A cantilevered outlook over the cochecho River was constructed

               by volunteer laborers, and materials were provided at cost by Star Lumber of

               Somersworth, NH.

               The spring of 1995 saw the Victorian lighting installed by Martineau Electric
               of Dover. The light installation labor was donated. Additional landscaping
               was installed along the walk during the Spring. Volunteers from the crew of
               the USS Omaha and inmates from the Strafford County House of Corrections
               performed the installation of the landscape material.


               Bark mulch was donated by Thomas Huckins of Farmington, NH. Loam was
               provided by Mast Road Sand and Gravel. One hundred of the two hundred
               and ten yards of loam needed were donated. Rip stone was placed for control
               erosion in several areas by the Strafford County House of Corrections

               inmates.

                                              COCHECHO RIVERWALK
                                                   INTERIM REPORT
                                                   SEPTEMBER 1994



                      The Cochecho Riverwalk project has had a quick start as a result of public support gained
               upon the announcement of the grant selection. A committee of City officials and interested local
               business people from the Dover Chamber of Commerce was formed in March. The committee
               met weekly throughout the Spring and formulated ideas of what the riverwalk should be and how

               to fund it.



                      All facets of the project were discussed from the walkway location and materials, to the
               light fixtures, park bench type, and flind raising strategies. Once July 1, 1994 rolled around, we
               were ready to proceed. Dana Lynch from Appledore Engineering and Jamie Calderwood, a
               landscape architect of the Calderwood Company donated their services to create a plan design
               and architectural renderings of the Cochecho Riverwalk. McEneaney Survey Associates donated
               a field crew to locate existing facilities and identify topographic relief in critical areas.


                      Bid specifications were prepared by the Dover Planning Department and Engineering
               Division for sidewalks, fencing, the lighting, and landscaping. The City Purchasing Agent
               advertised and awarded the bids. The sidewalk bid was awarded to KC Paving of Dover, NH,
               the fence replacement was awarded to Fences Unlimited of Salem, NH, the lighting was awarded
               to CED of Portsmouth, NH and the fall planting was awarded to Salmon Falls Nursery in South
               Berwick, Maine. The above work tasks for all above mentioned work is scheduled to be
               completed by mid November.

                       General grading, stump removal and electrical conduit excavation was donated by Mr.
                Peter Bonsseau. Tree removal along the river was contracted to Urban Tree Service under a City
                of Dover contract which is bid on an annual basis. The required tree clearing was very
                complicated. Trees had grown through the existing chain link fence and were rooted in the
                existing granite block retaining wall. Chain saws were not successful in removing all the trees
                because of the steel fencing in the trees. An excavator had to be employed to remove several
                after the fence had been cut away from them. As the site is an active park, fencing had to be
                maintained for safety purposes. Unfortunately, the tree service had to come to the site on three
                separate occasions to complete the work. The cost of the entire tree removal was $1,753.56.
                Urban Tree Service donated $450.00 as a donation to the project.


                       As of September 23, 1994, the sidewalk installation is complete. The canoe launch is
                complete. The fence is nearing completion with lighting fixtures on order and the electrical
                conduit partially completed. The fall tree plantings are on order as are the park benches. The
                benches are scheduled to be installed before October I st, as are the trees.

                                                    DECEMBER 31,1994


                       Several tasks which were partially completed during the summer were finished this Fall.
                The electrical conduit system which will supply power to the lighting system has been
                completed. The fall planting consisted of trees supplied by Salmon Falls Nursery of South
                Berwick, Maine. Five park benches were installed by Conversion Products Inc. of Rochester,
                NH. Conversion Products specializes in the use of recycled products. The slats for the benches
                are made from recycled plastic milk containers. An eighteen by twenty foot cantilevered scenic
                overlook was constructed with volunteer labor and the materials were provided at cost by Star
                Lumber Company of Somersworth.



                       The Washington Street sidewalk improvements have been substantially completed. The
                new granite vertical curb, concrete sidewalk, underground electrical system and lights have been
                installed. Additional electrical work needs to be completed before the lights are operational.
                Plantings are scheduled to be done in the Spring to finish the project.


                       Fundraising has begun for Phase 11 of the riverwalk. GFS of Dover has donated $1,000;
                First NH Bank has committed to donate $7,500; and the Dover Lions Club has committed up to
                $4,000 to the project.

                       Inscribed bricks have gone on sale for individuals and families which will become a
                permanent part of the proposed brick plaza. Fund raising is being conducted by a joint City and

                Dover Chamber of Commerce Riverwalk Committee.



                       Mike Lassell of Lassell Architects in South Berwick, Maine, has donated their services to
                design the picnic shelters. The design will incorporate Victorian features reminiscent of the
                period when textile manufacturing in the mills dominated downtown Dover. The former
                Clarostat Building, a prominent feature on the Riverwalk was a part of that era.

                                                 Cochecho Riverwalk Interim Report
                                                              March 31, 1995

                 Additional planning has taken place during the period from January 1, to March 31, 1995. A
                 Landscaping subcommittee was formed in January to create a landscaping master plan for the
                 entire Riverwalk, and develop an implementation plan for the Spring of 1995. The landscaping
                 will concentrate on the area between the newly constructed sidewalk and the river. Work is
                 scheduled to begin in April with planting complete by Memorial Day weekend.

                 The picnic shelters have been designed and construction drawings completed. The construction
                 is scheduled to begin in April offsite with installation on-site planned for May.

                 The electricians are scheduled to install the lights along Henry Law Park in early April.

                 These are the remaining work tasks to complete the NH Coastal Grant along the Cochecho
                 Riverwalk.
