                                 RE: S.C.R. No. 195
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ocean Recreation and Marine Resources, to
which was referred S.C.R. No. 195 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEASE OF BOTH
     FAST AND SUBMERGED LANDS AT KEAUHOU, NORTH KONA, ON THE
     ISLAND OF HAWAII TO A PRIVATE ENTITY FOR MAINTENANCE
     PURPOSES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to authorize
the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) to issue easements
or leases to a private land owner for fast and submerged lands in
Keauhou, North Kona, Hawaii, for the staining and periodic
maintenance of shoreline areas.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this
resolution from the Board of Land and Natural Resources.  

     Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the above
private land owner to stain state-owned lands that are seaward of
and adjacent to their private property in order to make them less
visibly intrusive.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ocean Recreation and Marine Resources that is
attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent
and purpose of S.C.R. No. 195, and recommends that it be referred
to the Committee on Finance.
