The Lookout Subdivision is a proposal to split about 55 acres on the west side of Rickenbach Road in Bern Township, Berks County, into seven lots. The county lists six new single-family homes. The seventh lot is probably the land that holds what is already there, but the records do not say.
The site is roughly 700 feet south of Cross Keys Road. At about 55 acres for seven lots, the homes would be spread out, and the lots would likely be large. The records do not describe what is on the land now.
The plan was filed at the "preliminary" stage, the main detailed review before final approval. A Berks County Planning Commission report from mid-2024 lists it. No news coverage, township meeting discussion, opposition or approval decision clearly tied to this project was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Six new homes would add some traffic on Rickenbach Road, but the records give no traffic figures.
- Large lots on about 55 acres suggest the area would keep a low-density, mostly open character, though the records do not say whether land would be preserved.
- New homes would typically need their own water and sewage arrangements. The records do not say which.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing, dated 2024-06-07, was a preliminary plan, and no later action was found. After the county and township reviews, the township supervisors normally vote on the preliminary plan. Final plan approval and recording follow before building can begin.
