Maud,
As I go to bed I offer this: Pay attention to this election of council members. Find your candidate. Help him/her. In the medium run we need a council that will make sensible changes to the zoning in Puna's subdivisions. My suggestion would be for there to be an incentive granted to covert an AG1 lot to an R1 lot or somesuch. The incentive might be a lower tax rate combined with the right to build an Ohana Dwelling Unit (ODU). The actual AG operations (greenhouse/ whatever) could grandfather in and perhaps be encouraged to form more cohesive AG zones within a subdivision such as HPP. I wouldn't mind if an AG1 lot was restricted from raising fighting roosters in a broader sense. Perhaps a new zone designation is needed for Puna - AR1.
Aloha and good night all.

Assume the best and ask questions.
