STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1779
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.C.R. No. 24
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 24 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT WAIOHULI-KEOKEA HOMESTEADS AND BEACH LOTS, KIHEI, MAUI, FOR THE EXISTING SEAWALL AND ROCK REVETMENT, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of an easement for state submerged lands.
More specifically, this measure authorizes the Board of Land and Natural Resources to issue a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of state submerged lands fronting property located in Waiohuli-Keokea Homesteads and Beach Lots, Kihei, Maui, for the existing seawall and rock revetment, and for use, repair, and maintenance of the existing improvements.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Your Committee finds that section 171-53, Hawaii
Revised Statutes, requires the Board of Land and Natural Resources to obtain
authorization from the Legislature to engage in disposition of state submerged
lands. The Board has identified portions
of an existing seawall and rock revetment fronting the property identified as
Tax Map Key: (2) 3-9-010:006 as encroaching upon state submerged lands. The current owner of the abutting property
has worked with the Department of Land and Natural Resources to obtain a
long-term non-exclusive easement, as the seawall and rock revetment are located
on state submerged lands. Your Committee
further finds that this measure expresses the requisite legislative approval so
that an easement may be issued for the use of those 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. 24, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
