Actually, We took a drive around yesterday and conducted a little survey. I'd thought, that less than 33 percent of newer homes did not have this egress/ingress improvement, however for our simple observation the numbers looked higher closer to 50 percent of newer homes (which look to have been built within the past 5 years) did not have a concrete or asphalt driveway, period.. The number decreased while we drove in an area that had CCR's, (Hawaiian shores recreational estates), but, there are new, presumably finalized, (electric wires hooked up to the homes new meter box) homes which do not have driveways installed, and a few that have been graded with cinder where it appears the owner has no intention of installing a proper driveway. However, In HSR, I believe this is not county road, so it is not a county issue..
Still within the counties jurisdiction, there's plenty without. Including several which appear to have been constructed without permits of this nature..
Interesting, as i learned today, i met with the county inspector.. He said that, this rule does not just apply to new housing developments but all, including existing, all properties with county asphalt or covered road egress/ingress..
When i inquired as to; with that type of rule, he might spend years enforcing this on existing driveways he replied: "We only enforce it when people call and complain"
