HPP is a private agricultural subdivision, initially had gates, and is not a residential subdivision, per the platted subdivision.
The SCPEA of 1928 was a DOC planning act that foresaw the current problems that the psuedo-residential, yet actually agriculturally zoned subdivisions within Hawaii County, are having. Most of the subdivisions were created under territorial law, and should have come under the SCPEA.... but the agricultural zoning was a way around providing municipal improvements.
Too bad that the zoning was/is not residential, but if it was, the landowners (past & current) would have needed to pay for the improvements required by residential code.... one of the reasons why a residential zoned lot in Hawaii county costs more than an agriculturally zoned lot - the residential improvements are required for residential subdivision lots, not for agricultural zoned lots.
