STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1443

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 23

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 23, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT KANEOHE, KOOLAUPOKO, OAHU, FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE EXISTING PIER, SEAWALL, AND LANDSCAPING AREA, AND FOR USE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR OF THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a term, nonexclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key:  (1) 4-4-037: seaward of 033, Kaneohe, Koolaupoko, Oahu.

 

     Your Committee finds that the existing pier, seawall, and landscaped area on the subject property encroach into state submerged lands.  On July 27, 2012, under agenda item D-6, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the grant of a fifty-five-year nonexclusive easement to resolve the encroachment.  Your Committee further finds that this measure complies with section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requiring legislative approval by concurrent resolution prior to the leasing of state submerged lands.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 23, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
