And lets keep it on the Big Island with our own legislation amending our Building Code and the section that permits "alternative materials and construction" ...
Waste of time and effort unless/until the State grants that authority to our County, which seems to be the intent of SB2274.
Furthermore, because the Special Use process is still required, no actual circumvention of County authority is implied -- however, this also makes SB2274 nearly meaningless, because the SUP requires unsustainable resources (and is nearly impossible to actually obtain).
It does make for good theatre, though, especially when people twist it around into things like a geothermal plant next door to your residential home. Really? Wow.
