Two new variance applications filed by Jay Jacobs with the Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals are making waves once again with members of the Little Fresh Pond Association.

Mr. Jacobs, who owns a 17.3-acre tennis camp on Majors Path in North Sea through Southampton Day Camp Realty LLC, has filed an application for a change of use variance, from one non-conforming use to another, a necessary step to expand the camp into a day camp for kids. He also filed an application to add a pool as well as a sports court and playground to the premises.

Last year, Mr. Jacobs submitted an application to change his tennis camp into a summer day camp. The application met with strong opposition from North Sea residents, particularly members of the Little Fresh Pond... more

"The renovation plan would bring the buildings up to code and also would include the conversion of water supply from well water to public water, and from cesspools to a conforming sanitary septic system, according to the application."

That is no public benefit - he HAS to do that stuff no matter what he proposes to do . . . He needs to cut his losses and stop digging that hole any deeper.

No variances, Jay. It may be s.o.p. to screw your neighbors with specious lawsuits in other localities but not here. Cut your losses, sell out and leave, - - - or just leave.

(Aside to the NY state Democratic Party. Thanks for kicking this goniff out as chairman, but what TOOK YOU SO LONG?)

A mature, thoughtful comment by highhatsize...I ask you - what would you and your cohorts want to be built on the site, highhat? If you wanted the property to remain a stagnant, sterile eyesore, you should have gotten a group together to buy it.

The answer is NO Jay. In case you have not noticed Republicans run this town. ATH has no power.

Those Naysayers, those NIMBY are newbys. Not the true locals . they come out here find a place they can afford at the low end of the market and they act like mr. gotrocks. Just like the ##** who bought cheep land alongside the race track on Millstone Brook rd. and then to our regret they gained their objective; get rid of a very good attraction. Lots of fun, good times were had out there in the hills.
I used to llive on Little Fresh Pond Road not too far from those tennis courts. I never complained. ...more

Have followed this story from the beginning and have listened to all sides of
this issue. I gave testimony that this property has been abandoned for many
years and now the new owner would like to turn this into a business within
a residential community! We do have SYS which, I believe, offers many
similar opprotunities. I have hope that the Board will NOT expand this
property and keep the residentail impact minimal for neighbors!
