BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br /> 6.

The Council established that a maximum <br /> density of two dwellings per 20 acres for lands within the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision <br /> above the 3,000-foot elevation, with certain conditions, will protect the watershed and <br /> native forest and maintain a low-density pattern. The resolution further recommended <br /> that the Planning Commission consider favorable recommendations for only A-10a <br /> zoning requests for those parcels within the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision above the 3,000- <br /> foot elevation and include the conditions as stated within Resolution No. 58 97, provided <br /> that the request complies with the other goals,policies, and standards of the General Plan. <br /> The subject property is situated between 3,500 to 3,800-foot elevation.

According to <br /> the Department of Finance — Real Property Tax Division, this dedicates existing native <br /> forest lands to preservation for 20 years.
