24-Home Development To Go Before Berkeley Planning Board Again

BERKELEY, NJ — A proposed 24-home development off Station Road will go before the Berkeley Township Planning Board again this week.

The neighborhood consists of 24 homes, two detention basins and an open space/recreation lot that will have another basin.

A public hearing was held before the Berkeley Township Planning Board on Nov. 16, six months later after it was first supposed to be heard. The reason for the delay was that attorney Ryan Murphy had spoken with concerned neighbors and asked to delay the hearing so the applicant could take those concerns to heart.
