Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2482, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make an appropriation to be expended by the Department of Agriculture for the development of a master plan for an agricultural park in Kunia.

In a past Land Use Commission reclassification proceeding, a condition was added to the decision and order requiring the dedication of a one hundred and fifty acre buffer area to the State in order to separate the existing and future Royal Kunia residential development and activities on agricultural lands mauka of the residential development.

Your Committee finds that the lands were recently dedicated and that a master plan for the development of the lands for an agricultural park is necessary for the proper and expeditious use of this land.

Your Committee has amended the measure by:

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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2482, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2482, S.D. 2.
