A large group of residents protested the proposed expansion of a seasonal day camp in North Sea at a public hearing before the Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday night, June 2, citing concerns about noise, density, traffic and potential pollution affecting nearby Little Fresh Pond.
Nearly three dozen residents filled the seats in the second-floor room at Town Hall, and approximately two dozen of them stood up to voice their opposition to the application by Glen Cove-based Southampton Day Camp Realty LLC. The firm is seeking a variance to allow the expansion of offerings at the seasonal day camp on nearly 17.3 acres off Majors Path, in the hopes of attracting an enrollment of up to 400 campers during weekdays only, according to town documents.

A touch too much, ya' think?
We should make a no right turn from Upper 7 Ponds to N Sea Mecox from 2-6 in the afternoon. How's this: NO LEFT from N Sea-Mecox onto North Sea road from 2-6PM.
Now add this CAMP into the mix... it's starting to ...more suck out here, I'll be honest.
I feel bad for the LITTLE fresh residents because they are about to get soooo\
screwed/ Cutting through from the DELI to camp on Little fresh, speeding, trash falling out the back of trucks... Should I continue? IT WILL HAPPEN!
I'd much rather see them try ...more to fill 500 spots in a camp, than 17 homes. Let them build the camp, and then let them find 500 people to attend. I highly doubt that number will even come to fruition, we don't have the population density, and I'd prefer it that way. And, as for the 500 people going to the bathroom comment, I'd pay $1M to see 500 people all go to the bathroom at the same time... And, that bet will stand, because that won't happen.
As I see it, the locals don't want anything, ever, ever again and camps should be outlawed along with beaches, plastic grocery bags. traffic, grocery stores, people from Jersey, people from the upper east side, people from the WEST side (yikes!), signs with color, color in general, outdoor dining, music, dancing, family cook outs................shall I ...more go on?
People, really, you're objecting about a camp, and a camp is already there? - I don't get it. An increase in intensity of a legally existing business is not considered an expansion so I would imagine this will get approved despite your objections - which by the way - are simply ridiculous and overstated.
But, you know, if the project as described in the application, was, as you state, just an "expansion of a legally existing buisiness", they wouldn't need to ask for variences and "any other relief necessary" from the code.
This ...more is a matter of the devaluation of all the homes in the immediate neighborhood. The camp would have a daily population, kids and staff, equivilent to that of the Village of Sagaponack. In terms of noise, traffic and the environmental issues (including the impact on groundwater and two important freshwater ponds) it would be the dominant feature in the area and we would be living in a defacto industrial zone.
Your characterization of our concerns as "ridiculous and overstated" is as hollow as the rest of your arguments and a clear indication of your misunderstanding of the entire issue.
