HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

APPROVING THE FEE SIMPLE SALE OF TWO VACANT PARCELS IN HOKULELE, KANEOHE, HAWAII.

 

 


     WHEREAS, Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, requires the prior approval of the Legislature by concurrent resolution to sell certain state land in fee simple; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (the "Corporation") desires to sell in fee simple two vacant, non-ceded, parcels in Hokulele, Kaneohe, Hawaii, a 9.19 acre vacant parcel, TMK No. 1-4-5-23-11 and a 1.21 acre vacant parcel, TMK No. 1-4-5-23-12, in order to eliminate from the Corporation's inventory properties unsuitable for residential development; and

 

     WHEREAS, these parcels are the remainder of the larger Hokulele development, located in part beneath the H-3 Freeway, and irregular in shape, so that while large enough to accommodate development of a single-family dwelling unit, these parcels are not suitable for more extensive development plans; and

 

     WHEREAS, the most probable development plan, based upon the existing easements, irregular shape, topography, and location of the parcels beneath the H-3 Freeway, is the development of one single-family dwelling unit; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Corporation intends to use the Request for Proposals procurement method to solicit proposals from qualified developers to plan, design, and develop the parcels for affordable housing; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Corporation also intends to reserve the right to transfer a portion or all of these parcels to the Department of Transportation for the portion of these parcels located beneath the H-3 Freeway for the purpose of a maintenance easement; and

 

     WHEREAS, these parcels were appraised on January 8, 2009 by Kirk N. Oshiro, MAI, right-of-way agent IV, State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, to have fair market values of $74,300 and $165,000, respectively; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Corporation submitted a copy of the subject Concurrent Resolution to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on January 25, 2010; and

 

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, the Corporation did duly conduct a public informational briefing on the sale of these parcels on November 4, 2009, at Kapunahala Elementary School, Kaneohe, Hawaii; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Corporation did not receive any objection to the proposed sale of these parcels as proposed by the Corporation at the November 4, 2009, public informational briefing; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-fifth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2010, the Senate concurring, that the fee simple sale of these parcels is hereby approved; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
