STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3483

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    H.C.R. No. 136

       S.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 136, S.D. 1, entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT, COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAIOHULI-KEOKEA HOMESTEADS, KIHEI, MAUI, FOR SEAWALL AND ROCK REVETMENT PURPOSES,"

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, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged and reclaimed (filled) lands for maintenance, repair, replacement, and removal of an existing seawall and rubble rock revetment.

     Your Committee received no written comments on this measure.

     Your Committee finds that a seawall and rubble rock revetment encumber an area of approximately 2,387 square feet on certain property located at Waiohuli-Keokea Homesteads, Kihei, Maui, a portion of which is state submerged lands.  Your Committee further finds that on June 10, 2010, the Board of Land and Natural Resources granted an amended approval for a fifty-five year term, non-exclusive easement to O. Joachim Granzow and Inge J. Granzow, trustees of the O. Joachim Granzow and Inge Granzow Family Trust; Joachim Wilhelm Granzow; and Christian Lars Granzow.  Your Committee finds that the adoption of this measure will satisfy the requirement of section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, providing for legislative authorization 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. 136, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

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