He <br /> said they looked at areas of Fairview Park because it does not look like there is enough land for <br /> three courts at Cedar Grove. He said it felt like adding courts to Fairview made sense because <br /> they are closer to population centers and will take advantage of existing new parking. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked if Fairview requires $3 million for remediation now and if it <br /> will be reimbursed. <br /> David Stancil said it will be reimbursed unless the county decides to go their own way on <br /> that. He said that part of the Fairview property includes a pre-regulatory landfill and that is not an <br /> area where the courts or the built area of the park is located. <br /> Commissioner Richards clarified there would be 3 new courts in addition to 3 existing <br /> courts. <br /> David Stancil said yes there will be a total of six. <br /> Commissioner Richards said it seems like the county is committed to Cedar Grove and <br /> asked if it is definite that it would require more parking if the courts are added. <br /> Travis Myren said the remediation does not have to be done in order to build the tennis <br /> courts at Fairview. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee said the landfill area does have to be remediated before additional use. <br /> David Stancil said yes. <br /> Travis Myren pointed out the areas in question on the map. <br /> Slide #43 <br />
