Approximately 100 angry North Sea residents packed a Southampton Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on Thursday night—following a protest on the steps of Town Hall—to deliver an emphatic and emotional message to members of the board, that they don’t want a children’s seasonal day camp in North Sea.

Carrying colorful protest signs, members of the community turned out to oppose applicant Jay Jacobs’s plan to create a seasonal day camp on Majors Path. Mr. Jacobs is planning to do so by renovating current facilities and structures on the nearly 17.3-acre site, which is near Little Fresh Pond. The camp could eventually boast a membership of 350 to 400 day campers, and up to 60 counselors living on the grounds.

Good article in the NY Post on Mr. Jacobs. Hope he doesn't think he can hydrofrack on this property too.
