[L 1977, c 188, pt of §3; am L 1979, c 200, §3; am L 1989, c 356, §6] Case Notes Plaintiff's claim that the county defendants failed to consider cultural and historic values in violation of the coastal zone management act was not dependent on the determination of the access point to the development and, thus, was ripe. 131 H. 123, 315 P.3d 749 (2013).
