permits for everyone (except County employees) - kalakoa - 03-13-2019
https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2019/03/13/hawaii-news/several-permits-for-county-officials-residence-in-pepeekeo-approved-23-years-later/
The county official charged with ensuring building permit laws are followed didn't get building, plumbing or electrical permits for a solar water and photovoltaic system on his own property until 23 years after the fact.
...
Public Works Director David Yamamoto, the former Building Division chief until his appointment to head the department in January, referred questions to whether Erickson was sanctioned or otherwise disciplined to Neal Tanaka, acting division chief.
Tanaka said he couldn't comment on an ongoing investigation, while declining to verify there was one.

Schrodingers Cat.
Schrodingers Permit.
Schrodingers Investigation.
Schrodingers Discipline.
Until you open the box, you can’t be sure if the cat is alive or dead, whether a permit, an investigation, or disciplinary action exists.
In Hawaii County it might better be described as the principal of Kimo’s Cat. Kimo’s Feral Cat.

“I was notified someone complained,” Erickson said. “I told them to treat me just like anyone else.”

23 years later, after getting caught...

I m curious as to whether Erickson's permits were "finaled" 23 years later or had to be newly submitted and the systems inspected per current code.
We'll likely never find out.

Too many permitting requirements already for every damn thing. Next you'll have to get a permit to put up a dog house in your yard.

Even Rod Serling couldn't dream this stuff up.
“APPENDIX X
INDIGENOUS HAWAIIAN ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURES
X201.1 Hale Materials. Hale shall be constructed using only materials grown and harvested in the State of Hawai‘i.
X301.2 Automatic Fire Sprinklers. The design standards for automatic fire sprinklers for Class B indigenous Hawaiian architecture structures shall be in accordance with NFPA 13.
“We're developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won't be able to think.”

Appendix X only applies as an accessory use to a permitted structure; the hale is not permitted any electricity or running water, nor may it be used for cooking or sleeping.
Basically, you can buld a (legal, permitted) museum piece.

It's already policy.
"I told them to treat me just like anyone else."
Exactly: any County employee would receive the same treatment.
