RE: H.C.R. No. 103

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 103 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTIONS OF SUBMERGED LANDS AT MAUNALUA, OAHU, HAWAII, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF A ROCK GROIN TO SLOW THE RATE OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITION IN THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL OF THE HAWAII KAI MARINA,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a perpetual, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands at Maunalua, Oahu, for the construction and maintenance of a rock rubble mound revetment and groin.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Your Committee finds that the Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association is responsible for the maintenance of the entrance channel between the privately-owned Hawaii Kai Marina and Maunalua Bay. Your Committee further finds that the existing sandbag groin is deteriorating and a permanent structure is necessary to slow the rate of sediment deposition in the entrance channel of the Hawaii Kai Marina. This measure authorizes the granting of a perpetual, non-exclusive easement, as required by state law, for the construction and maintenance of a rock rubble mound revetment and groin.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Making technical amendments to its title to read, "AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTIONS OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT MAUNALUA, OAHU, HAWAII, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF A ROCK GROIN TO SLOW THE RATE OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITION INTO THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL OF THE HAWAII KAI MARINA."; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 103, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 103, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
