RE: S.C.R. No. 64
S.D. 1
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 S.C.R. No. 64, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A TERM, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING A PORTION OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT NAPILI, KAANAPALI, MAUI, FOR A PORTION OF STAIRS FOR PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS, AND FOR USE, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE STAIRS CONSTRUCTED THEREON,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of a term, non-exclusive easement covering a portion of State submerged lands at Napili, Kā‘anapali, Maui, for a portion of stairs for public beach access, and for use, repair, and maintenance of the stairs constructed thereon.
Your Committee finds that the Napili Bay and Beach Foundation has collaborated with the Department of Land and Natural Resources to replace an aged and damaged public beach access staircase on Napili Beach. The Foundation received a State Grant in Aid in 2019 to facilitate the project and has obtained all necessary State and County permits. However, due to a portion of the replacement stairs being located on State submerged lands, the Foundation also requires an easement authorized through prior approval of the Governor and the prior authorization of the Legislature by concurrent resolution.
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 S.C.R. No. 64, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
