RE:    H.C.R. No. 29

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 29 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SALE OF THE FEE INTEREST IN 95-029 KUAHELANI AVENUE, MILILANI, HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to approve the sale of the fee interest in 95-029 Kuahelani Avenue in Mililani, Oahu.

 

     Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this property is a unit in the Nahoa Apartments, built in 1975 as part of a state housing program.  The units were sold in leasehold interest to owner-occupiers, who were given the opportunity to purchase the fee simple interest.  To date, of the one hundred and sixty units originally sold in leasehold, one hundred and thirty owner-occupiers have purchased the underlying fee simple interest.  The purpose of the sale of this property is to promote residential homeownership, and, more specifically, to allow its current leasehold owner, Ms. Rosalie Woodson, to obtain fee simple title to her home, at the agreed upon sales price of $33,100.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Identifying the condominium unit number of the subject property;

 

     (2)  Inserting information regarding the square footage of the unit, and specifying the undivided interest in the common elements of the condominium project to be conveyed with the condominium unit;

 

     (3)  Inserting a provision describing the history of the subject property;

 

     (4)  Clarifying that there are no further development plans for this property;

 

     (5)  Including a provision specifying that a copy of the measure was submitted to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the date of the submission, in accordance with section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes;

 

     (6)  Clarifying the purpose of the sale of the property;

 

     (7)  Clarifying the language in the provision regarding objections to the sale of the property; and

 

     (8)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of style, consistency, and clarity.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 29, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 29, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs,
