STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1598

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 37

 

 

 

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 H.C.R. No. 37 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NONEXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS LOCATED IN KAPAHULU, HONOLULU, OAHU, FOR THE USE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR OF AN 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 perpetual, nonexclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key (1) 3-1-038: seaward of 042, Kapahulu, Honolulu, Oahu.

 

     Your Committee finds that, on July 13, 2012, under agenda item D-10, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the issuance of a perpetual, nonexclusive easement to resolve the encroachment of the subject property's seawall and steps into state submerged lands.  Your Committee further finds that this measure satisfies section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires 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 H.C.R. No. 37, and recommends its adoption.

 

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