27 <br /> 1 Vice-Chair McKee said if you are driving down New Hope Church Road toward 1-40 it is <br /> 2 on the right. <br /> 3 David Stancil said there was a UNC Class on historic and scenic landscapes that <br /> 4 identified this as one of the three best viewsheds in Orange County. <br /> 5 Commissioner Richards asked if the total for Blackwood Farm Park would be around $5 <br /> 6 million. <br /> 7 David Stancil said yes, if the initial costs of opening are included. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Slide #42 <br /> FY2023-33 Recommended Parks, Open Space, and Trail Development Projects <br /> Fairview Park Improvements- $522,500 (p. 90) <br /> - Three additional tennisipickleball courts <br /> • Moved from Cedar firove Fiuk <br /> i <br /> • Fairview Park remediation - $3.0 million (p. 91) <br /> - Funded NO Department of Environmental Quality <br /> - Pre-regulatorylandfiu site ! _ <br /> - Assessmenidue in summer 2023 <br /> - M itiga(ion/remediabonwork to follow and cost may �•g � <br /> change depending on scope <br /> 10 A <br /> 11 David Stancil said they discussed including funds for new tennis and pickleball courts. <br /> 12 He said they looked at areas of Fairview Park because it does not look like there is enough land <br /> 13 for three courts at Cedar Grove. He said it felt like adding courts to Fairview made sense <br /> 14 because they are closer to population centers and will take advantage of existing new parking. <br /> 15 Commissioner Richards asked if Fairview requires $3 million for remediation now and if <br /> 16 it will be reimbursed. <br /> 17 David Stancil said it will be reimbursed unless the county decides to go their own way on <br /> 18 that. He said that part of the Fairview property includes a pre-regulatory landfill and that is not <br /> 19 an area where the courts or the built area of the park is located. <br /> 20 Commissioner Richards clarified there would be 3 new courts in addition to 3 existing <br /> 21 courts. <br /> 22 David Stancil said yes there will be a total of six. <br /> 23 Commissioner Richards said it seems like the county is committed to Cedar Grove and <br /> 24 asked if it is definite that it would require more parking if the courts are added. <br /> 25 Travis Myren said the remediation does not have to be done in order to build the tennis <br /> 26 courts at Fairview. <br /> 27 Vice-Chair McKee said the landfill area does have to be remediated before additional <br /> 28 use. <br /> 29 David Stancil said yes. <br /> 30 Travis Myren pointed out the areas in question on the map. <br />
