Steve Wheeler, the property owner, said he was surprised and upset by the decision, given that he had been working with the planning commission and county staff for the past four years to bring the property into compliance.
"I am extremely disappointed in the county staff for not speaking out in my behalf," he said. "The (board's) decision was made as if I had not cooperated with the county."
The track was established by special exception in 2001. In 2009, several violations were discovered at the Speed Citi property and the management was dismissed. Wheeler then set to making the track comply with the rules the county had set out under the special exception. In addition to the reconfiguration of the track, there had been build several outbuildings that lacked building permits.

Way to go Maryland.....push all the people out
ReplyDeleteTold you, get the heck out of MD before you get taxed and feed so much you can't move...
ReplyDeleteThis is another example that MD does not care for you or your business...
To add:
ReplyDeleteMD thinks your bluffing anyway and that it would cost to much to move... Yet it cost less to move than the run-a-round they give you...
O'mally is following Obama cuz if not, O'mally can not run for senate or pres in a few years...
Seaford\ has a nice track for kids and adults.ES Maryland does'nt like tracks for kids or adults,too many old people.
ReplyDeleteSeaford gets a new business and Salisbury wants section8 housing. Good job jimbo
ReplyDeleteHow is this anything but Democracy in action? A problem was brought forth and the people that were most effected by this track decided they would voice their opinion.
ReplyDeleteIn a seldom seen display of listening to the people, it looks like they made the right choice.
Did anyone show up in support of the track? Probably not many.
If this track in fact bothered the residents they have every right to make their opinions known. Good for them.
Just because another business is leaving the area does not mean it was the result of hostility of the state. I sounds like the racetrack was poorly run. It also sounds like the county is made a mess of it as well so who knows who is to blame.
