SUPPORTING INFORtiiATiON AND DOCUMENTS DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY ' The subject is a vacant 22.15 acre parcel located at the 2200 foot elevation on the - southerly side of Kaloko Drive in Kaloko Mauka subdivision in North Kona. The property was cleared of underbrush and planted to pasture grass approximately twenty ' years ago. File Plans for the first four increments of Kaloko Mauka Subdivision were filed r prior to enactment of Chapter 23, Hawaii County Subdivision Code. The owners of individual lots within the subdivision petitioned the County under the County Improvement District statutes, and Improvement District 10 was created. The improvement district was the financing vehicle for installation of the roads, water and power which service Kaloko Mauka, and the improvements were paid for 100% by the lot I owners. CURRENT USES AND ACTIVITIES ON SURROUNDING LANDS KALOKO MAUKA SUBDIVISION The Kaloko Mauka Subdivision originally contained ninety-one parcels extending from the 1700 foot elevation to the 5700 foot elevation of Hualalai, in the ahupuaa of Kaloko. As a result of rezoning and subdivision activity over the past twenty years, parcel sizes in the lower elevations, 1700 feet to 2600 feet, are now a mixture of 3-acre and 20- acre. The remainder of the lots are 20+ acres in size. Recent zoning reclassifications have been approved for 3-acre parcels at the 2600 foot elevation, 5-acre parcels at the 2900 foot elevation and 10-acre parcels above the 3000 foot elevation The subject parcel is bounded on the mauka and makai by 3-acre zoned land. Uses and activities on the developed 3-acre lots are typically a combination of residential, pasture, orchard, and gardens, and might best be described as "family farms". Uses and activities on the 20-acre parcels are similar to those of the smaller lots. An increasing number of parcels of all sizes are being "subdivided" using State CPR statutes. A relatively homogenous pattern of land use activities is being established at all elevations in Kaloko (see map titled Current Activities, page 8). Cattle are being grazed on parcels at 2200', 3500', and 5,000' and there are nurseries and tree farms at different locales throughout, as well as residences. v.
