RE:   H.C.R. No. 36

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 36 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FEE SIMPLE SALE OF TWO VACANT PARCELS IN HOKULELE, KANEOHE, HAWAII,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to approve the sale of certain state land pursuant to Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2009.  Specifically, the Hawaii Housing and Finance Development Corporation (HHFDC) seeks to sell in fee simple two vacant, non-ceded parcels in Hokulele, Kaneohe, Hawaii, TMK Nos. 1-4-5-23-11 and 1-4-5-23-12.  The parcels of land are the remainder of the larger Hokulele development, located partly under H-3 Freeway and are irregular in shape, making the parcels unsuitable for more extensive development plans.  HHFDC intends to reserve the right to transfer a portion or all of the parcels located under the H-3 Freeway to the Department of Transportation.

     HHFDC testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

     Your Committees find that a public informational briefing was duly conducted on the sale of this property and no objection was received.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 36 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing,
