COM. REP. NO. 1030-22
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2022
RE: H.C.R. No. 4
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2022
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 4 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT KAHALUU, KOOLAUPOKO, OAHU, FOR THE EXISTING SEAWALL, STEPS, AND FILLED LAND, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your
Committee finds that section 171-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the
Board of Land and Natural Resources (Board) to obtain prior authorization from
the Legislature and prior approval of the Governor to dispose of state
submerged lands. The Board identified an
existing seawall, steps, and filled land fronting the property identified as
Tax Map Key: (1) 4-7-001:006, Kahaluu, Koolaupoko,
Oahu, as encroaching upon state submerged lands and on February 8, 2019, approved
a grant of a twenty-five-year, non-exclusive easement to resolve the existing encroachments.
Your Committee further finds that this
measure expresses the requisite legislative approval so that an easement may be
issued for the continued use of those state submerged lands.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 4 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
