All ag lot subdivisions are not the same

I'm not a fan of the continued willy nilly development and total lack of planning rut we're in. The county council and administration should be ashamed of the short sighted view taken and resulting mess we're in. That said, the development at Plantation Estates and Honolua Ridge should not be compared to those at Ukumehame, Olowalu and Launiapoko.
There is little comparison other than zoning, certainly not in the infra structure provided and the environmental concern designed and implemented.
One only need to go there and look at the roadways, drainage and water systems and conservation areas to see the significant difference.
The fault was in the County's lack of rural zoning alternatives not, in this case, the developers lack of community concern.
