RE: S.C.R. No. 4

S.D. 1

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF AN EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF SUBMERGED LANDS AT LAHAINA, MAUI, HAWAII, FOR CONCRETE PIER AND DECK PURPOSES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) to sell an easement for submerged lands at Lahaina, Maui, for pier and deck purposes.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources testified in support of this measure.

The applicant is seeking an after-the-fact approval for a concrete pier and deck that extends 40 feet seaward over submerged lands immediately offshore of Front Street in Lahaina. Originally constructed in the 1920s or 1930s, the structure is currently used commercially by the Lahaina Fish Company Restaurant.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Specifying that the length of the easement approved by BLNR will be for 20 years; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 4, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water and Land Use,
