The Engineering department doesn't get involved with actually designing or signing off on driveway entries for a large part of Puna. It says they do in the paperwork, but unless in a paved road area or off the highway, I've never had a driveway inspection take place, nor had rules imposed on the driveway. If you do have to, it is a MAJOR pain in the butt. Especially off the highway. You'll end up spending years of time and several thousand dollars trying to jump those ridiculous hoops.
Other than that, all I've seen for any of the subdivisions in Puna is just a paper they want people to sign saying that the county 'can' get involved and you 'should' do things a certain way. Seems like another example of half-way covering the liability factor for the county. There's no enforcement, nor clear line of getting the full information of what they expect your driveway entrance to be.
Where do you find a driveway setbacks from the property lines, Rob? I've never seen one noted nor enforced. Just structures, eaves, catchments, pools, and septic or cesspools.
