Town to resurface Tariffel tennis courts and add pickleball striping; commission informed as unregulated maintenance
Summary
Simsbury staff briefed the commission on resurfacing and restriping of tennis courts at Tariffel Park to support pickleball; the work is characterized as maintenance within existing fence limits and not expected to disturb wetlands.
Town engineering briefed the Conservation and Inland Wetlands Agency on plans to rehabilitate and resurface the existing courts at Tariffel Park, transitioning cracked tennis surfaces to a coated and striped surface suitable for pickleball.
Adam Kessler of the engineering department said contractors will remove the existing pavement within the fence line, supplement the base where needed and repave; the scope is confined to the court footprint and will not disturb adjacent soils. Staff characterized the activity as unregulated because resurfacing is maintenance within the fenced limits. Commissioners requested the commission be informed of the work and were given an opportunity to ask questions about surface type and limits of disturbance.
No formal permit action was required or taken; staff said they would answer follow-up questions if the commission had them.
