COM. REP. NO. 1234-20
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2020
RE: H.C.R. No. 25
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 25 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAIMANALO, KOOLAUPOKO, OAHU, FOR THE EXISTING PIER, SEAWALL, AND STEPS, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
authorize the issuance of a term, non-exclusive agreement covering a portion of
the state submerged lands at Waimanalo, Koolaupoko, Oahu, for the existing
pier, seawall, and steps, and for use, repair, and maintenance of existing
improvements constructed thereon.
Your Committee finds
that a revocable month-to-month lease permit was issued to a private property
owner for an existing pier located in Waimanalo that was placed on state
submerged lands. Your Committee further
finds that when this revocable permit was converted into a non-exclusive
easement, the authorization granted by House Concurrent Resolution No. 27,
Senate Draft 1, 2017, only covered the existing pier. However, your Committee finds that a
subsequent survey showed additional areas of encroachment, including a seawall
and steps. This measure authorizes the
issuance of a term, non-exclusive easement covering the areas encroached on by
the pier, seawall, and steps.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 25 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Hawaiian Affairs,
