"Ohana" vs. "Guest House"

[YurtGirl]

I noticed that too, Rob. But when I asked both sides of the island on that point, all said that if there was no permitted structure on the land, then the accessory exemption was out and a permit process would essentially be that of a commercial endeavor. Could be just as you say; policy could have spread to everyone's understanding at the building departments and so they cite it as law. Wouldn't be the first time. But to do it otherwise a person would need to challenge the accepted policy. We've been trying to help one of our clients for over 2 years now as they try to jump policy hoops and finally just went with an Ohana house on their RS-10 property. What a nightmare!
