RE:    S.C.R. No. 126

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 126 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS PURSUANT TO SECTION 171-53, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, RELATING TO THE RECLAMATION AND DISPOSITION OF SUBMERGED OR RECLAIMED PUBLIC LAND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of a non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands.

 

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

 

     The subject land is identified as a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key (1) 4-7-014: seaward of 010, Kaalaea, Koolaupoko, Oahu.  The easement is for the use, maintenance, and repair of the existing seawall and encroachments.  The applicants requested a term easement to resolve the encroachments containing filled land, seawall, and a small tile wall located makai of the boundary.  On November 10, 2011, the Board of Land and Natural Resources authorized the issuance of a term, non-exclusive easement for seawall and filled land purposes to the owners of the abutting private property.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 126 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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