Box 3178 Kailua-Kona, H196745 <br /> December 4, 1996 <br /> To: Planning Commission and Virginia Goldstein, Planning Director <br /> cc All County Council Members <br /> Re: Kaloko Mauka Porest Subdivision request for re-zoning (TMK:7-3-25:4) <br /> Between Approx, 2520' to 2815' elevation - ia_t 5 ACRF RItFFPR 7Q)YE, <br /> The County Council Resolution N. 330 % has established a policy in the Ttaloko <br /> Mauka Watershed, paragraph 5, "Agricultural - 4 sera (A-5a) minimum tot size <br /> densities is a narrow band immediately above the A-3a zoned district, extending to <br /> the 2,900 foot elevation". This subject property is within the area of Critical Buffer. <br /> As a landowner very dose by in a 21 acre property we ask you keep with this <br /> decision and only recommend re-zoning with 5 acre lots. Also, if each parcel were 5 <br /> acres it would be entitled to the new favorable tax category of Native Forest. <br /> We appreciate the Planning Department's recommendations, p. 4-5 for the"forest <br /> reserve easement" buffer setbacks and no less than 50q~ retained in forestry to for <br /> visual impacts and island watershed needs. <br /> The Planning Department report on page 3, (10 lines fiom bottom) INCORRECTLY <br /> suggests that the property is at the 7.500' elevation, when it is ALL above that level <br /> in the "narrow band immediately above the A-3a zoned district, extending to the. <br /> 2,900 foot elevation" <br /> Community input for the past several re- zonings have also led to incorperating <br /> RESTRICTIONS TO NOT ALLOW OIiANA, to keep the density appropriate for this <br /> Critical Watershed Area. Also, regazding this application, Police Chief Carvalho <br /> stated in a letter of June 6, 1996, that "traffic will increase dramatically" with <br /> increased numbers of 3 aQe lots, <br /> Kaloko Mauka is a spedal Forest Watershed Subdivision, valuable to the <br /> community. We are in favor of subdivision with: <br /> Ag•5, Forest Aeserve Easements, and RESTRICTIONS TO NOT ALLOW OHANA. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ~Ro r A. Weiss Lydia A.
