15-Home Development Proposed For Wooded Area In Berkeley
BERKELEY, NJ — A 15-home development proposal will go before the Berkeley Township Planning Board later this month.
Called “Woodlands at Berkeley,” the neighborhood will consist of 15 single-family homes, three stormwater management lots and an undersized undevelopable lot, according to public notice. The 10.36-acre plot of land is east of Wheaton Avenue and south of Serpentine Avenue, in an undeveloped wooded area with a wetland area in its southeastern portion.
This proposal has gone before the board before – in fact, the subdivision of the existing 12 lots was initially approved in 2003, but all time extensions lapsed, and it went before the board again in Dec. 2023 and then in June 2024.
