STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1466

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.C.R. No. 69

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 S.C.R. No. 69 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A FIFTY-FIVE YEAR TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT PUAMANA, LAHAINA, MAUI, FOR VARIOUS SEAWALL STRUCTURES, A CONCRETE GROIN, AND REVETMENT FOOTINGS OF A HISTORIC SWIMMING POOL,"

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 term, nonexclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting the property identified as tax map key: (2) 4-6-028:001 at Puamana, Lahaina, Maui.

     Your Committee finds that portions of the seawall structures, the concrete groin, and revetment footings of the subject property encroach into state submerged land.  On October 26, 2012, under agenda item D-6, the Board of Land and Natural Resources granted approval for a fifty-five year term, nonexclusive easement to resolve the encroachment.  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 S.C.R. No. 69 and recommends its adoption.

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