STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1312

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 19

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 19, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAIMANALO, KOOLAUPOKO, OAHU, FOR THE USE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR OF THE EXISTING SEAWALL AND STEPS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as Tax Map Key Number (1)4-1-002:007, Waimanalo, Koolaupoko, Oahu, for the use, maintenance, and repair of a seawall and steps, pursuant to section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

 

     Your Committee finds that the seawall was constructed prior to the establishment of the Conservation District in 1964 and that granting a 55-year non-exclusive easement to resolve encroachments is supported by the Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands of the Department of Land and Natural Resources and is in the best interest of the State.

 

     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. 19, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

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