Yes, it is that difficult to add a farm dwelling to an agriculturally zoned property that already has a residence on it. He would have to prove enough farm income that a farm worker is necessary.

Building without a permit, which used to be very common if not actually the 'norm' in most of Puna, has now become a thing of the past, IMHO. I mean, it can still be done, but now it's much more likely that the unpermitted building will be turned in. I've also heard they're starting to use satellite imagery (i.e. Google Maps, except I think they use a different program) to locate illegal structures.
