EXHIBIT #1 Special Council Meeting of 02/02/2009 MEMORANDUM Department of Public Services – Planning & Inspections P.O. Box 475 Dover, Delaware 19903 Phone: 302.736.7010 Fax: 302.736.4217 Date: February 9, 2009 To: City Council From: Ann Marie Townshend, AICP RE: Materials for February 9th Council Meeting and Resolution to Disagreement with State of Delaware Regarding Annexation Materials for this evening’s Council meeting, Item #11 Final Reading of the Ordinance to Adopt the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The materials include: 1. Listing of specific requests and final actions taken by City Council, 2. Summary of proposed or Approved changes to text and maps, and 3. Revised Map 13-1 and 13-2, reflecting the agreement with the State of Delaware. After working with both Dover International Speedway and the State of Delaware, we have determined that the following text and map notes added to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan are agreeable to both Dover International Speedway and the State of Delaware. If you have any questions, please let me know. Map 13-2 Potential Land use for Annexation Areas– Use a hatch mark, to address the Dover International Speedway and surrounding area, with a note to specify: “Any development in this area will be subject to the provisions of a master plan to be developed in cooperation with the property owner, the State of Delaware, and the City of Dover. If any of this area annexes prior to plans for development, the land will be zoned A (Agriculture Zone). If annexation is associated with a development application, a zoning district will be applied that is compatible with a master plan associated with the property to be annexed. No amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is required as long as development is proposed in accordance with a master plan developed in coordination with the property owner, the State of Delaware, and the City of Dover.” The other lands that “round out” the annexation area will be designated as Agriculture on Map 13-2, except those that are already residentially developed. These will be identified as Residential Low Density. Text to be added to page 170, at the end of the section on the Strategies for State Policies and Spending: “In addition, the lands owned by Dover International Speedway (and immediately surrounding these lands), immediately north and south of Leipsic Road, are located within the Level 4 area. If any development is planned in this area, it will subject to a master plan developed in cooperation with the property owner, the State of Delaware, and the City of Dover.” Text to be added to page 173 of the Comprehensive Plan at the end of the section on Category 2: “One area of land included in the Category 2 annexation area is land owned by Dover International Speedway (and lands immediately surrounding these lands) that is located east of State Route 1, immediately north and south of Leipsic Road. Much of this land is used for RV camping associated with NASCAR racing events.

MEMO 2 Because of its location east of State Route 1 and adjacent to active agricultural lands (some of which are in agricultural preservation districts or easements), the City is sensitive to the concerns that any development planned in this area be very carefully planned in a way that respects the natural and agricultural environment. While Dover International Speedway has no immediate plans for development in this area, they have expressed interest in possible annexation of this land into the City. As Map 13-2 Potential land Use for Annexation Areas indicates, the appropriate zoning for this land will be determined at the time of annexation. If any of this area annexes prior to plans for development, the land will be zoned A (Agriculture Zone). If annexation is associated with a development application, a zoning district will be applied that is compatible with a master plan associated with the property to be annexed. No amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is required as long as development is proposed in accordance with a master plan developed in coordination with the property owner, the State of Delaware and the City of Dover.”
