Aloha. Getting back to history... Most Puna subdivisions were not only approved with the only requirement being substandard roads. But in the '70s, when a voluntary community association took HPP Owners to court and sued them, Hawaii County made sure to exempt themselves from any road responsibility "for perpetuity." Not only that, but the County and the State have used the Paradise Hui Hanalike court case as the reason, excuse, justification, for just about any similar case that has been brought to the Hawaii courts. In addition, the Paradise Hui Hanalike court case is mentioned in just about every bill that has anything to do with "substandard roads and substandard subdivisions" brought before the State Legislature.
And on the subject of insirance- Hawaii County is self-insured. The police must insure their own vehicles. Workers comp is insured through the County. Just about everything is. Everything the County needs to insure, because it is economically advantageous for them to do it this way. So, why do you think they are insuring LZ1 and LZ2? Think about it. The insurance amounts they dish out would not cover the rebuilding of many of the homes/properies that are in LZ1 and LZ2. And the County is not giving that insurance away for free. The County, somewhere, is getting their's.
