COM. REP. NO. 1240-20
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2020
RE: H.C.R. No. 31
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. 31 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 THE EXISTING SEAWALL, ROCK REVETMENT, AND CONCRETE 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
state submerged lands at Waiohuli-Keokea Homesteads, Kihei, Maui, for an
existing seawall, rock revetment, and concrete steps, and for use, repair, and
maintenance of existing improvements constructed thereon.
Your Committee finds that
a portion of an existing seawall, rock revetment, and concrete steps fronting
private property located in Waiohuli-Keokea Homesteads was built on state
submerged lands. Your Committee further
finds that the Department of Land and Natural Resources has worked with the
property owners to resolve the issue by granting a 55-year non-exclusive
easement for the encroaching seawall, rock revetment, and concrete steps, and
the grantees have agreed to pay the fair market value of the easement. However, the Legislature must grant prior
authorization before state lands can be leased.
This measure authorizes the granting of a term, non-exclusive agreement
for the portion of identified state submerged lands in Waiohuli-Keokea
Homesteads that have been encroached upon by the seawall, rock revetment, and
concrete 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. 31 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,
